She is the bride of whom Alice M. Erle, in "Manners and Customs of New England" speaks as "appearing out" on
the Sunday following her marriage, attired in a peach-colored silk dress and a hat and head-dress trimmed with 16 yards
of white ribbon, while her husband walked by her side in small clothes of white broadcloth. According to the custom
of the time, they sat in the middle of the front gallery, and during the service deliberately arose for inspection,
turning slowly around to exhibit their costumes more completely" quoted from The Spalding Memorial

Notes for EBENEZER GAY:
                                    REVEREND EBENEZER GAY (1718-1796)
           Ebenezer Gay, the third minister of the First   Congregational Church of Suffield, was born on
   May 4, 1718 in Dedham, Mass. His father was a   substantial farmer, and his uncle was the famous
   minister, Ebenezer Gay of Hingham. Young   Ebenezer graduated from Harvard in 1737, where
   he took the Hopkins Prize and had a speaking   part at Commencement. In June 1740 he
   preached for the first time in the Third Church of   Dedham and then went on to preach in
   neighboring parishes.
 
           Gay became a candidate for the pastor at   Cohasset and then at Suffield. On November 5,
   1741, the church and congregation of Suffield   called him, and the ordination was held January
   13, 1742, which turned out to be a very snowy   day. In spite of this, there was a most
   distinguished gathering headed by Uncle Ebenezer   who preached the ordination sermon.
 
           On July 9, 1742 he married Hannah Angier   and on November 14, 1743 he moved into the
   house he had built-"The Gay Manse” on Main   Street. They had no children, but their adopted
   black girl Sybil was baptized as the “child of   Ebenezer and Hannah”. There were other black
   members in the Gay household in later years, of   whom the best known was Ti.
 
           Ebenezer’s sermons reflected a plain kind of   preaching and the simplicity of his religion. “His
   religious sentiments were formed on the gospel;   not on human creeds. Attached to no system, and
   calling no man master, he repaired directly to the   fountain of truth . . . . He was steady in his
   principles; but, despising bigotry, he ever   manifested an amiable liberality of spirit. He never
   was severe to censure, or forward to condemn   those of different sentiments.” Many of his
   sermons have been preserved, including The   Work of a Gospel-Minister (New Haven, 1755),
   the Sovereignty of God (Hartford, 1767), and   Evangelical Preacher (Boston, 1763).
 
           This tolerance led to his close relationship   with prominent people of various political and
   religious convictions of the period. His line-a-day   diary for the years 1738-1794 tells of frequent
   contact with Rev. Jonathan Edwards   (Northampton), Rev. Stephen Williams   (Longmeadow), Presidents Clap and
Stiles   (Yale), Rev. Eleazar Wheelock (Dartmouth), Rev.   Cotton Mather Smith (Sharon), and other political and
military leaders of the day.
 
           When he was not traveling to preach in other   parishes and visiting family, Gay supervised work
   on his farm, keeping slaves as was customary for   ministers, magistrates, and tavern keepers, who
   were freed by his sons after his death. Gay also   found time to tutor students preparing for Yale
   College, including his own two sons, one of whom   followed his father’s ministry in Suffield so that
   between them they served church and community   for nearly 100 years. After the death of his first
   wife in 1762, Gay married Mary Cushing of Scituate. One of their five children, Mary, married  Timothy Swan.
 
           After a long and distinguished career,  Reverend Ebenezer Gay died on March 7, 1796.
   His sermons and diaries have survived, a rich source of 18th century religious and social thought
   as practiced in what was then a leading town in New England.
