INTRODUCTION
The items in this genealogy were originally collected while
searching for the American ancestor of the author, and are now
published at the earnest request of a number of the members of the
family. Much matter of interest relating to the early family was
found in this research, among which, beside ancient pedigrees, is the
sketch of Coity Castle, the ruins of which are herein illustrated.
" Fair Coity," as it was called in ancient chronicles, was near Bridg-
end, on the river Agmore, on the southern coast of Wales — the land
of medieval song and story. The name in Welsh is Coed-ty, signi-
fying wood house. Undoubtedly, in the remote past, a house of
wood stood upon the site of the later castle. The stone castle was
built by Sir Siramonet Turberville about 1120, and became, two
centuries later, the home of the Gamage family for many generations,
until it was sacked and nearly demolished by Cromwell. It is the
largest ruin in Wales, except that of Caerphilly, and was recently
purchased by Lord Dun raven, on whose estate it bordered. It will
now be preserved from further depredations.
CHRONOLOGICAL RECORD.
At the time of the Norman invasion Wales was governed by a
number of petty kings. They were :
(xwaethford^ whose arms were — Or, a lion rampant, regardant,
sable, crowned gules. Crest, a black cock. Motto, " Si Deus nobis,
quis contra wos."
Jestyn ap Gwrgan — Arms : Gules, three chevronelles argent.
Crest, a Paschal lamb. Motto, " Vincet qui partitur.''''
JEinon ap Collwyn. Arms : A chevron between three fleur-
de-lys.
4 INTE OD UC TION
Bleddri ap Cadivor, of Cilsant. Arms : Argent, a lion rampant,
gardant sable. Crest, griffin segreant, or.
Bleddyn ap Maenarch.
The Morgan and Vaughn descendants carry the Cadivor arms,
and the Gamages carry the same crest.
After the Conquest there was added to these princely rulers the
Herbert family, the Gower family and the Advena^, as the Normans
were called. The Gamage family came under the head of the Ad-
vena% they being of the Norman conquerors who married Welsh
heiresses. The last of the British race who was lord of Coity was
Morgan (apMegryg, ap Griffith, ap Jestyn, ap Gwrgan), who was
King of Glamorgan and Prince of the Seven Cantredes of Saluria,
which country included all the territory between Gloucester Bridge
and the river Towy.
Of Morgan's daughter, Sar, the following story is related in old
manuscripts : Payne Turberville, one of Fitz-IIammon's knights,
who came for the spoliation of Wales in 1089, finding that no grant
of land had been made to him, demanded his share. Fitz-Hammon
replied, " There are men and arms, go, get it where you can." Tur-
berville set his eyes on " Fair Coity " and commanded Morgan to
give it up. Morgan took his daughter by one hand and, wnth drawn
sword in the other, replied, " If you marry my daughter and come to
my castle like an honest man you may have it, if not, let my arm and
sword and those of yours decide who shall call the castle his own."
Turberville surrendered his sword, took the daughter's hand, married
her, and so came into possession of the lordship of Coity. Their
descendants, " of Coity," were as follows :
Simmonet — 2. Son of Payne Turberville (1). lie erected the
new castle about the year 1120.
Sir Payne — 3. Married Matilda, daughter of Morgan Gam,
(ap Caradoc, ap Jestyn, ap Gwrgan).
Sir Gilbert — 4. Had two sons, Payne and Gilbert.
Sir Payne — 5. He died without issue and was succeeded by his
brother.
Sir Gilbert — 5. He married Meiwen, daughter of Lord Cad-
wgan (whose estate or castle was on the river Alain. A son of
Ithel, descended from Jestyn ap Gwrgan). Their son was
Sir Gilbert — G. His son was
INTIi on UC TION 5
Sir Richard — 7. Sir Richard's fourth son was
Sir Payne — 8. He married Gwenllian, daughter of Sir Richard
Talbot. They had four sous : Gilbert, Richard, Siinmonet, Edward,
and four daughters : Agnes, who married Sir John de la Bere, lord
of Weobly Castle in Gower ; Margaret, who married Sir Richard
Stackpole of Pembroke ; Catherine, who married Sir Roger Berke-
rolles of New Orchai'd, in St, Athans ; he was lord of St. Athans ;
and Sarah, who married Sir William Gamage, lord of Roggiet, Mon-
mouthshire, six and a half miles from Chepstow.
Sir Gilbert — 9. He left no legitimate children, and was followed
by his brother,
Sir Richard — 9. He, also, left no legitimate heirs, but a natural
son, Simmonet, took possession of the estates upon Sir Richard's
death. He was not allowed to remain, as Sir Richard had settled the
whole estate upon his nephew. Sir Laurence Berkerolles, lord of St.
Athans, son of his sister Catherine.
Sir Laurence next succeeded to the estates and lordship of Coity.
He married Matilda, daughter of Sir Thomas de Spencer, then lord
of Glamorgan, who lived at the castle Caerphilly. Lady Matilda
poisoned her husband, Sir Laurence, and was buried alive, agreeable
to the sentence pronounced upon her (according to the country law)
by the Lord Sir Richard Beegan. After the death of Sir Laurence
Berkerolles the property passed to Sir William Gamage.
The estate had now descended three times by distaff (heiresses),
hence, according to custom, the lordship over courts of justice and
seigniory reverted to the King or Crown ; but the Gamages were
lords of the land, and to them appertained the possessions and
manorial supremacy of the estates.
GAMACHES IN NORAVAY AND ENGLAND.
The name Gamache, later Gamage, is of ancient origin, and is
traced in France to Inczar, who came with Rolla the Dane to the
coast of France in 912, in search of lands or booty. These northern
pirates, for as such they were regarded, had become such a terror,
not only to the people but to the crown, that Charles the Simple
gave to Rolla a portion of the province of Neustria, and Rolla gave
to his companions landed estates in this province that they called
Normandy. The name de Gamache was for several generations
6 INTR OD UC Tl ON
famous in the militaiy and literary Avorld of France, but is now
dropping out of the lists of noted names as the years bring greater
numbers to fill the records. Among the most conspicuous were :
Joachim Rounalt Gamache, a French officer, born at Poitou.
He fought against the English in 1450. Louis XI. made him Marshal
of France, 1461. He died, 1478.
Philli]) de Gamache, born 1568, Professor of Divinity at Sor-
bonne 25 years. His works were called the "dictionary of fine
thought." A man of sterling character as well as of talent. In his
relations with Richelieu he displayed integrity, firmness and honora-
ble pride. He died at Pai'is, 1625.
Etienne Simon Gamache, born at Meulon, 1672. Canon regular-
He published " Systeme du Ca?ur" in 1704, and Avas considered one
of the most graceful and versatile of writers ; equally learned on
moral or scientific subjects. He was a member of the French
Academy and wrote under the nom de plume of " Clarigny."
The following early pedigree has been collected from reliable
English and French publications :
GAMACHES OF NORMANDY.
1. Inczar received lands called "Gamache Marshes," in Viskin, in
the Archdeaconry of and near Rouen, from which lordship
and estates the family name is derived. His son was
2. Count Herluin, whose paternal grandson,
4. William, married Alice, sister of Hugh Capet, King of France.
Their son was
5. Bernard de Gamache, Count de Guines and Lord de Gamache.
He also became Count de St. Valeri by marriage with the
heiress. His son was
6. Gilbert de Gamache, who married Papia, daughter of Richard,
second Duke of Normandy. Their paternal grandsons, Ber-
nard 8 and Reginald 8 came to England with William the
Conqueror. They were lords of St. Velari, which, by the
marriage of a descendant of Bernard's, an heiress, passed to
the Counts de Dreux. After remaining some time in England,
Bernard returned to France, leaving his English estates to his
brother.
INTR OJD UC Tl ON 7
8. Reginald dk Gamachk, whose estates were in Hereford, the
westei-n part of England. His son,
9. Sir Thomas de Gamache, married Joan, daughter of Roger
Arnold, Esquire, of Monmouthshire, the first of the Arnolds to
adopt a surname. His son was
10. Sir Godfrey de Gamache, who served Henry II. with fifty
knights and one thousand retainers. He gave the name Mansel
Gamache to his estates in Herefordshire. He still held estates
in Viskin, near Rouen. In 1159 he received from Henry II. a
grant of land in Hottesdon, Salop County; and in 1172, from
Richard I., the estate of Marmshall. He was the ancestor of
the Gamaches of Royiade (or Roggiet) of Monmouthshire, and
of Coity, Glamorganshire. He also held two knights' fees
under the Lacys in Hereford. He died before 1176, leaving
Sir Mathew and William.
Sir Mathew received from King John estates in Dymock,
called Gamache Hall ; and also estates in Gloucestershire, He
returned to Normandy, leaving his estates to his brother,
11. Sir William de Gamagb, who adopted the change in the
name from Gamache to Gamage. He married Lisabet, daughter
and co-heir of Henry de Mineris (son of Sir William Myners).
He was custor (keeper) of Ludlow Castle in or before 1201.
He also held Mansel, Gamage Hall in Dymock, Gloucester,
granted by King John in 1199; and lands in Hereford, Rut-
land and Gloucester. He died before 1240, and left three
sons — Sir Godfrey, Sir Henry and John.
Sir Godfrey acquired lands in the Welsh marshes. He died in
1253, leaving wife Alda and three daughters. The estates of
Gamage Hall passed to the Penwardine and Pembruge (or
Pembridge) families by the marriage of the heiress. The
estate was still called Gamage Hall as late as 1569.
John de Gamage was Prior of St. Guthlake, Hereford, and also
Abbot of Gloucester. He was sixty-two years a monk of the
Abbey and twenty-three years its abbot. The royal assent to
his election was dated October 4, 1284. In 1303 he built a
new dormitory for the monks. In 1305 he entertained, at a
long-remembered festival, the King's Judges, who sat upon an
inquest of Traylibastion, in the great hall of the Abbey. He
8 TNTR OD UG TION
died May 15, 1306 or 1307, leaving the reputation of a pious
and frugal man, who found the Abbey one thousand marks
in debt and left it wealthy, increasing its fold of sheep
ten thousand. He was a liberal donor of books and orna-
ments. He was buried near the door of the cloister, where
may be seen a portion of his family's arms, cut in the stone —
" portions of the three escoUopes," says " Guillams." A short
time before his death, while attending at the funeral of the
Queen Mother, at Amesbury, Wiltshire, King Edward I., sur-
rounded by the Prelates of England, declared :
"^o/i apparet mishi tain venerabilis pater in regno, mio siscut
Abbas GZouce.sirieusis."
12. Sir Henry de Gamage, second son of Sir William, married
Ela, daughter of Sir Milo de Regni, widow of Sir Simon de
Raleigh ; probably the heiress who carried the Dinas, Povis
and Winster estates into the Raleigh family. His son was
13. Sir Godfred de Gamage, the reputed founder of the Mon-
mouthshire family. He married Joan, daughter of Gilbert
Strongbow, and held Royiade, six and a half miles from Chep-
stow, southwest. His son was
14. Sir Payne de Gamage. He was lord of Royiade, under the
lordship of Striguil. He married Margaret, daughter of Roger
St. Pierre. It is with Sir Payne that the pedigree of the house
of Coity begins. His sons were Sir Robert, and Andrew Payan,
who married a daughter of Elizabeth and William Kenneys.
15. Sir Robert de Gamage. In a Presentment of the " Free-
holders of Wentwood (Gwent or Wales)," it says, "Robert
and his ancestors always had rights in Wentwood to the house
at Rogiet." He held Mansel Gamage, in Hereford County.
He married the heiress of Martel Llahangel, of Rogiett. His
sons were Sir William, and John of Rodley, County Gloucester,
who had a son, Thomas, 1346. The Gamages were " Lords of
the Marchs," which means they were noblemen who, in times
past, inhabited and made secure the marches of Wales and
Scotland, ruling as petty kings, enforcing their own private
laws ; whose soldiers were marched up and down upon the
boundary to the west and south, to prevent depredations from
pirates and highwaymen. The custom was abolished by Henry
VIII.
INTROBUCTION 9
16. SiE William de Gamage was Sheriff of Gloucester in 1325.
He was in the suite of Robert Fitz Payn, attending King
Edward II. in 1313. He married Sarah, fourth daughter of
Payn Turberville of Coity Castle, Glamorgan, and co-heir with
her brother Gilbert. His son was
17. Sir Gilbert de Gamage of Royiade. He married Lettice,
daughter of Sir William Seymour of Penbow. His son was
18. Sir William de Gamage of Royiade. He obtained Coity
Castle on the death of Sir Laurence Berkerolles of New Or-
chard, Lord of St. Athan. He married Mary, daughter of Sir
Thomas Radburgh. Their children were Sir Thomas, and
Margaret, who married Sir Richard de Beere, who received as
crest, for his services at Cressy, " Five ostrich feathers issuing
from a ducal coronet." He lived to be very aged. By the
inquisition taken in 1419-20, it appears "Sir William Gamage,
Knight, died seized of Coity Castle — two parts of the manor
and lordship — of Glamorgan — Lanhany Manor, the Advourson
of the church, Newland Manor — Tenements in Coity, called
Laurensland — Jordan Place or Fairfield, Newcastle Hundreds,
and Manor. He took a Seige from Glyndwr and in 1404 the
Commons prayed Henry IV. to take steps for his relief." His
son was
19. Sir Thomas Gamage of Coity and Rogiett. He married
Matilda, daughter of Sir John Dennis (whose arms were:
Gules, three leopards' heads jessant, fleur-de-lis or, over all
bend engrailed azure). Sir Thomas dropped the "de" from
the name. His successors are said to be " of Coity."
20. Sir John Gamage married the daughter and co-heir of Morgan
Llewellyn (ap Evan Llewellyn of Radiz, ap Cynorig, ap
Howell, ap Modroc, ap Jestyn, ap Gwrgan, whose arms are
quartered with the Gamage arms), with whom he owned lands
afterwards known as Gamage lands, in Miskin, or Viskin,
France. His children were Morgan, William, Jenet, who
married William, ap Robert Mathews of Castell y Mynack ;
and Margaret, who married Hugh Fleming.
21. Sir Morgan Gamage. He married Eleanor, daughter of Sir
Roger Vaughn of Tretower County (Brecon, Lord of Cantriff,
Celiff, Penkelly, Merthn Cynoc, &c., and half brother to Wil-

24. Sir John Gamage married Wenlien, daughter and co-heir of
Sir Thomas ap Jenkyn Powell of Glymoyer. They had Bar-
bara, sole heiress, born 1561; died at Penshurst Castle, Kent,
May 26, 1621. She was a very considerable heiress, and her
property, birth and connections brought her many suitors. She
was a favorite lady in waiting at the Court of Elizabeth, who
married her to Robert, son of Sir Henry Sydney. This Robert
was a younger brother to the celebrated Sir Philip Sydney, by
whose untimely death he became the head of his house and heir
to his uncle, Sir Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Robert
Sydney was born 1653, made member of Parliament for Gla-
morgan 1585, In 1586, accompanied by his uncle, the Earl of
Warwick, he was knighted at Flushing. In 1605 he was
created Viscount de L'Isle, and in 1616 received the Garter.
In 1618 he succeeded to the Earldom of Leicester, his mother
being the sister of Robert Dudley. Lady Barbara lived to
share all her husband's honors, whom she survived. Her port-
trait, with those of her children, still grace the walls of Pens-
hurst. In the Sydney armorial shield the last four quarterings
are due to the Gamage family. The Gamage arms are : Argent,
five fusils in bend, gules : on a chief azure, three escollops, or,
Crest, a griffin segreant, or. The home life of Lady Barbara
is made memorable by Ben Jonson in his poem " To Pens-
hurst." With her the titled line of Gamage ended.
There has been a tradition in the New England families of all
branches, that brothers settled in America, but no one of the last three
generations has been able to say whom they were, or whence they
came ; and it has been only by a long and diligent search through
church, town and probate records that the New England family has
been traced back to John Gamage of Ipswich, Mass.; beside whom,
* The Arnolds descended from the ancient Kings of Wales.
12 IJSrTE OD UCTION
there died in Boston, 1729, "Thomas Gamage, formerly of Taunton,
Eng'd," no descendants of whom have been found.
There was a Thomas Gamage of Taunton, a convicted rebel,
transported February, 1685, in ship John Friggat, of Bristol, and
sold to Ann Salop, in Barbadoes, with ten others. — (Hotten's Emi-
grants). If a rebel at that time, he must have been in Cromwell's
second army and, after the Restoration, arrested ; or in Monmouth's
Rebellion of 1684-5. He probably received a sentence of fifteen or
twenty years' servitude, after which he, naturally, came to Massa-
chusetts to be near his brother, who had escaped from England during
her troublous era, and long before his own exile. He settled in
Boston, a place offering larger facilities for trade than Ipswich. He
was a merchant clothier (seller of cloth). We note that two daughters
of John were married in Boston, without doubt, from the home of
Thomas.
It is only in the line of Thomas, second son of Sir Robert, (23)
that the names John and Thomas occur as brothers. This suggestion
of relationship offers a clew for further research. It is hoped that at
no far distant day we may be able to place our New England ances-
tors in the line of direct descent, and, with the knowledge of an
ancient and honorable lineage, there should be some of the younger
generations incited to pursue a systematic research in England to
accomplish this object. The collateral line in which the names John
and Thomas are associated is as follows:
1. Thomas, second son of Sir Robert, (23) bore arms Argent, on a bend
azure, three mascles of the first, a chief of the second charged with
three ©scollops, or, quartered with arms of Vaughn. He married
Joan, daughter of William ap Thomas Vaughn, whose arms were:
Argent, a lion rampant, gardant, sable. Their children were: John
and Edward.

INTB OB UC TION 1 3
The homes of the Gamage family were in the counties of
Glamorgan, Hereford, Gloucester and Somerset shires, with the
exception of the few who went to London, whose records could be
easily traced.
Authority is found for these early pedigrees in " Clark's Gla-
morgan Pedigrees " and " Sir Thomas Nicholas' Antiquities of
Wales." As all the Gamages of Great Britain sprang from these, the
New England family can be no exception. To know one's ancestry,
to be assured that honor and courage are one's inheritance, is a much
desired knowledge ; yet one need seek no farther back than the
seventeenth century to find courage, fortitude and Christian faith—
those virtues whose lustre shines with a brilliancy that lights the long
pathway of time, that those who walk therein may revere, emulate
and honor.
These virtues were possessed in an eminent degree by that com-
pany of early emigrants who settled these shores. Imagine, if
possible, the final, painful parting from the land of their birth, the
last loving clasp of friendly hands, the tearful, heartbreaking embrace
of parents and family — the slow, comfortless voyage of months dura-
tion, the early life in an unsettled country, where privation, disease
and death lurked in every shadow, a prey to wild beasts and fiercer
savages. Yet their hearts were strengthened, for faith sustained them
in their hours of need. That, indeed, was " the time that tried men's
souls," Their struggles and trials were not in vain. It is impossible
for us to appreciate the inestimable blessings bequeathed us until we
consider the countless thousands who yearly, fleeing from the cruelty
and tyranny of the eastern world, rush hither to share with us our
rich inheritance.
Let us write these ancestral names in letters of gold upon our
hearts, emulate their virtues, perpetuate and reverence their memory
in the land the Lord their God gave them. The Gamage family is
not numerous, neither has it produced celebrated men ; but its mem-
bers have ever been loyal, law-abiding citizens, generally prosperous,
with a marked tendency to be the proprietors of any business, how-
1 4 INTE OD UC TIOX
ever small, in which they engage. They are not agriculturists, but
possess a taste for medicine, music, study or mechanics, in the latter
of which they show, in a remarkable degree, a nicety of workman-
ship. They have ever commanded the respect of the community in
which they resided and held offices of local trust, though politics
never appealed to their tastes.
It has been the privilege of the author, with the assistance of
Mrs. Louise Fisher McLain, D. A. K.; Mrs. Caroline Fisher Bogardus,
I). A. R.; IMrs. Addie Gamage Gleason, D. A. K.; Olonzo Gamage, M.
I).; Prof. Frederick Gamage and Mr. Park T. Burrows, to place a
stone, marking the tomb in the P^irst Parish Cemetery of Cambridge,
Mass., where so many of the early family were laid away. It is hoped
that the spot may soon be determined and marked where rests the
dust of our ancestor, John Gamage of Ipswich.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN GAMAGE
OF IPSWICH, MASS.
JoHN^ Gamage of Ipswich, Mass., the ancestor of the family in New
England, is first known as a soldier in King Philips' War,
1675, serving under Col. Samuel Appleton, The date of his
death has not been found, neither his burial place. He was,
without doubt, laid in the Knight tomb. He married Mary,
daughter of Alexander Knight. She married, second, Henry
Osborn, and had one son, Henry, later of Newport, R. I., as
mentioned in will of his half-brother, John. In deed of sale of
real estate, 1734, Mary Osborn sells land left her "by her
father, Alexander Knight," and calls herself " widow of Henry
Osborn." In her will, made Sept. 10, 1734, she leaves estate
left her "by her brother (blurred) Knight, to her beloved
son, John Gamage, with whom she lived, who had so tenderly
and faithfully cared for her in her old age." Her place of
burial has not been found.
Children of John and Mary Gamage were :
i, John, b. February 6, 1676; m Hannah Adams. He died April 25,
1753. In his will he mentions " children of his brother Joshua,"
" children of his brother Nathaniel," and names "Cousin Wil-
liam of Watertown" as executor (cousin meaning nephew). The
latter, in papers of settlement, calls John "Uncle." His wife
died March 10, 1753. They left no children.
ii. Nathaniel,2 b. Feb., 1678. He died about 1741. In this year a
guardian was appointed for minor son, John. No further records
can be found of either.

SECOND GENERATION.
JosHUA.2 Gamage was a weaver by trade and settled in Cambridge,
Mass., about 1708. He was admitted to membership in First
Parish Church in 1727. The date of his death has not been
found, but it was later than 1744, as he bought land in Attle-
borough in that year. He was laid in a tomb of P'irst Parish
Cemetery. It was the custom at that early date to allow mem-
bers of the church to select their last resting places in the
churchyard, hence the irregularity noticeable in old grave-
yards. His wife died about 1773. ■ In a sale of real estate,
dated June 18, 1773, the following heirs of Joshua and Deborah
appear: "William of Watertown," "Martha Hagar," "Sarah
Palmer," " Rebecca Bull," " William Dick Gamage, Mariner, of
London," " his mother Agnes Gamage of Shrewsbury, N. J."
She was laid in First Parish Cemetery, Cambridge. He mar-
ried, June 22, 1710, Deborah, daughter of William Wyeth, (a
son of Nicholas Wyeth, a mason, who came to New England a
widower, with three children : Sarah, Mary and Nicholas, Jr.
He bought an estate on the west side of Garden Street about
1645. It remained in possession of the heirs over two hundred
years, passing into the possession of Deborah, and was, finally,
sold by the heirs of Dr. William Gamage and removed to the
Flats, where it still serves as a tenement house. ; He married,
for second wife, Rebecca, widow of Thomas Andrew. Their
children were: Martha, John, William. He died July 19, 1680,
aged 85 years. /His son, William, born January 1, 1657, was

THIRD GENERATION.
Nathaniel^ Gamage (Joshua,^ John^) was born March 1, 1712-3. He
mysteriously disappeared and it was believed he had been
seized by the press gang, a method often pursued at that time
in order to secure men for the English navy. He was never
heard of and his wife returned, with her little children, to her
home in Rockport, Mass. Soon after 1795, she went with two
sons and their families to Bristol, Maine, where she died in
1821, aged 104 years. She was buried on the farm, where the
graves of herself and other members of her family are still to
be seen. She was a small but very active woman, intelligent
and quick witted. She had bright, black eyes and dark hair
that never turned gray. Her activity of mind yielded to the
touch of time a few years before her death, but her bodily use-
fulness remained to the last. He married Mary Norwood, born
Oct. 18, 1717, daughter of Joshua Norwood.*

year he sold an estate in Cambridge, in deed of which he styles

his son William Dick. He died in Shrewsbury, New Jersey,
1772, intestate.* Administration papers were granted May 9,
1772, to Joseph Price, " William Dick of Great Britain, and his
mother, Agnes Gamage of Shrewsbury," mentioned in the
settlement of the estate of Mrs. Joshua Gamage of Cam-
bridge, 1783. Agnes was, probably, the daughter or grand-
daughter of Sir William Dick of New York. She had in her
possession a portrait of Sir William, in steel armour, which is
attributed to the artist. Sir Godfrey Kneller— now owned by

sister, Eliza, " to be careful of it as it was the portrait of their
mother's ancestor." These papers regarding Sir William Dick
were found among the papers of Rev. John William Shering-
ham, after his death. " Sir William Dick of Braid, Scotland,
loaned to Charles First of England £52,000, in 1642. When
the claim was presented, in 1656, it was acknowledged by the
CrowTi, but not paid — was presented again by Sir William's
widow 1695. Again by their son Sir William — later of N.

been paid. This has been traced by the present Baronet, Sir
Page Dick, whose Grand Father w^as Sir Robert Dick tenth
Earl of Walpole." Among the State papers at Albany, New
York, are these statements : " William Dick appointed Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs July 13, 1734." " Gen'l Corbey

SIXTH GENERATION.
Amory* Gamage (Richard,^ Samuel^) was born at Hopkinton, Mass.,
July 20, 1812. He settled in Boston in 1833. In early man-
hood he was a school teacher, but the love of music, combined
with a taste for mechanics, induced him to enter the field of
manufacture. He became one of the early Piano Forte Makers
of Boston, Mass. In 1849, during the gold excitement, he
visited California, remaining there three years. He married,
in Boston, Nov. 1, 1835, Nancy, daughter of Capt. William
Lyman (a son of Ezekiel and Elizabeth Bliss Lyman. He was
born at Canterbury, Conn., about 1781, whose family moved to
Royalston, Vt., 1782. When a young man, he joined his
brother in Canada ; but, enamored with a sea life, he became a
sailor — later, a mate ; and, finally, captain of a trading ship.
He married, at Frankfort, Me., Sept. 22, 18M, Huldah, widow
of Henry Jenks, and daughter of James and Susanna (Lam-
pher) Colson. Their home was, first, at Frankfort, where
three children were born ; later, at Castine ; and, finally, at

b. 1818 ; died young ; Lydia, died young; John, b. 1822; Wil-
liam Osborn, b. June 14, 1825. Capt. Lyman was lost at sea,
with his ship, in 1826. His wife died at Bath, Me., March 31,
1826, aged 36 years. He was a descendant of Sir Richard
Lyman.— See Lyman Genealogy.) Mr. Amory Gamage died
suddenly of pneumonia, April 16, 1882, and was buried at
Woodville, Mass. Mrs. Gamage married (2) Levi Hardy of
Oxford, Mass. She died August 19, 1895, aged 79, and was
buried in East Cemetery, Webster, Mass., in the lot of her son-
in-law, E. P. Morton. Her graceful presence, loving and
sympathetic nature, endeared her to a large circle of friends,
who sincerely mourned her loss. After but a few days of
illness, her bright, active spirit fled to its Heavenly home.
Children of Amory and Nancy Gamage were :
Mary Augusta, b. Aug. 4, 1836; d. Aug. 25, 1836.
i. William Amory, b. Sept., 1837; d. July .30, 1843.

a graduate of Phillips, Exeter, N. H., a student of
"Physicians and Surgeons" College, N. Y. He died
of blood poison, the result of an imperfect operation
performed for appendicitis ten years before, and dis-
covered too late to save life. He was a young man
eminently endowed with every qualification to ensure a
long, useful and honorable life; of a remarkably strong
constitution, as shown in the long endurance of his
trouble. He was deeply interested in the study of his
chosen profession, and possessed a lofty, honorable
and religious mind. A bereaved mother pays this
tribute to the memory of a noble, loving son.

PHIPS.
James Phips, a gunsmith, came from Bristol, England, to
Charlestown, before 1648. A number of his children were born
there. He settled, later, at the mouth of the Kennebec River —
then a part of Massachusetts — the place is now known as
Phippsville. He went, later in life, to Pemequid, Me.
Children (of whom it was said there were twenty-three, but
which is a doubtful story), there are now known: Solomon,
who remained in Charlestown; Gov. William, John, Mary,
Margaret, and Anna. The last four were mentioned in Gov.
William Phips' will.
John, who is said to have been born in Charlestown, went with
his father to Maine, where descendants now live. Only one
son, John, has been traced by the author.
John, who lived with and was educated by his uncle. Governor
William, was promised to share equally with Spencer Bennet
(the nephew of the Governor's wife, who also lived in the
household) in his uncle's fortune ; but the influence of his wife
caused the Governor to change his will in favor of her nephew,
leaving but a comparatively small sum to John Phips. The
Governor told John he would give him a sufficient sum to make
up an equal share. Unfortunately, the Governor died sud-
denly, in London, with his promise unfulfilled. John brought
suit to recover. Mrs. Phips sought to compromise, but without
avail. John was stubborn, and would take only an equal share,
as his uncle had promised. Yet, despite the proven uncom-
fortable temper of his wife, the Governor's will held good, he
being, supposedly, of sound mind. John settled in Wrentham
before 1690. His marriage record has not been found.
Children were : Elizabeth, Margaret, Anna and John.
