Of these colonial ancestors I shall refer to a few of the

JOHN GARY was a belated Pilgrim from Bristol, who, 

 having missed the Mayflower, reached Plymouth in 1630. 

 "A graduate of a French college," "a man of much 

 influence by reason of his superior education and up- 

 right character," he "taught the first Latin school in 

 the colony." John Gary, his son, a London merchant, 

 settled in Bristol, where "he made a great quantity of 

 ale which he shipped to Newport for distribution through- 

 out the colony." House and brewery gave the name of 

 "Malt Hand Lane" to the street on which they were 

 located, and by which it is still known. "When the 

 church was organized, he was elected one of the deacons 

 and held that office until his death." His tombstone 

 reads: 



Remember death. Here lies ye dust of Deacon 

 John Gary, a shining pattern of piety, whose 

 spirit returned to God that gave it, July I4th, 

 1721, in ye 76th year of his age. 



A man of prayer so willing to do good, 

 His highest worth, who of us understood? 

 Fear God, love Christ, help souls their 



work to mend, 

 So like this saint, fit for bliss without end.
