Biography
"Stephen 2 Gary was born in Charlestown, Mass., in 1691/2.[1][2] When he was about twenty years old he removed to Taunton, Mass., where on Nov. 9, 1711, he married, Mary Gilbert,[3][2] daughter of Eleazer and Elizabeth (Crane) Gilbert. In 1713 Stephen Gary and his wife "Mary Gilbert, now Gary" (an unusual wording) sold land in Taunton, which had belonged to Eleazer Gilbert, deceased. Stephen Gary lived in Taunton the greater part of his life, though there is some evidence that he passed a few years in Boston in middle life. He returned to Taunton however and died there between Feb. 2 (the date of his will) and Feb. 12 (the presentation of the same) 1749/50. His will mentions all his children, his eldest son being left one‐fourth of his farm. His widow was appointed guardian of her sons, Ebenezer and Seth, minors, "above the age of 14 years," in January 1750/51. In 1771, the aged widow of Stephen Gary, then residing in Rehoboth, Mass., was declared "non compos mentis," and a guardian was appointed over her estate. She died in Taunton in 1782, very aged. Her death record mentions her as " Mrs. Mary Gary, the mother of Major Elijah."
