The English origin and parents of John (GATER) GAITHER, born 1599, of
Virginia and Maryland are unknown.  John GATER age 36, Joan GATER age 20,
and a John GATER age 15 were on a list of 24 July 1635 to sail from London
on the Assurance.1 Research by George Riggs Gaither published in The
Gaither Connection in a series beginning in 1991 stated that John
GATER baptized in 1603/4 at Lamberhurst, Kent, England had married Joan
MORLEY, and had a son John born (sic) 5 March 1635.  He stated this was
the family that arrived in VA.  Examination of the original Lamberhurst
parish register showed the following:2

1. John GATER had a daughter Elizabeth bap. Dec. 1632 [exact date not
   viewable on the microfilm
2. John GATER and wife Mary had a son John bap. 5 Mar. 1634. [1635
   Gregorian calendar]
3. John GATER and wife Mary had a son William bap. 20 Mar. 1637 [1638
   Gregorian calendar]

The VA settler was NOT the John "GUTER" (sic) baptized 23 Feb. 1603 [1603/4]
at Lamberhurst, Kent, England, for which no parents were stated in the
baptismal register.  THAT John of Lamberhurst MAY be the son of William
GATER and Tomson LINDREDGE who were married there on 9 May 1602.  The
subject of that John's parentage is a moot question, as he is not the
ancestor of the American GAITHER family.  Some Internet researchers have
outright forged/falsified/changed the above baptismal date in their records
to report that this John was "born" on 15 Feb. 1598/99, to agree with
John's age of 36 stated on the 1635 passenger list.

That the John at Lamberhurst with wife MARY was still living there in
1637 [1638], he cannot be identical to John with wife JOAN that arrived in
VA in 1635. He was also not likely the father of the John GATER, born
about 1620, that was on the same ship. The elder never claimed any land
for transporting the younger. He did claim 800 acres for transportaion
of himself, his "wife Joane" [Jane in one land claim] and 14 other persons,
all named.3 IF the elder John were the father of the younger John (born ca.
1620), he would undoubtedly have paid for his transporation, and claimed
land for paying for the transportation. That he did not indicates the
younger apparently paid for his own transporation. As no record has been
found for land claimed by anyone for transporting the younger, he likely
either died soon after arriving in VA, or returned to England.

There is no evidence that John GATER's wife Joan was surname MORLEY as
claimed in the article by George Riggs Gaither.  There is no marriage 
record for a John GATER to John MORELEY (or anyone else) at Lamberhurst.

For other errors in the George Riggs Gaither article, e-mail me at the
address below for an article regarding this.

John secondly married Mary -?-.  At a court on 16 Jan. 1653 (1654) a deed
from John Godfrey of the County of Lower Norfolk to Thomas Dadford for
800 acres was ordered to be recorded.  The deed was dated 16 Jan. 1653
(1654) and was stated to be 800 acres originally granted to John Gather
by patent on 26 July 1638.  The original grant was recorded in Nansemond
County on 12 July 1649. "John Gater aforesaid by & with consent of Mary
Gater his wife" had assigned the land to John Godfrey on 12 July 1649 for
other considerations.4

Since John Gater’s [the immigrant's] 1638 grant included land for transportation
of his wife Joan, and was assigned by the "aforesaid" [same] John Gater and
wife Mary, this shows this is the same man with two wives.  This would show
Harry Wright Newman's theory5 that the John born ca. 1620 married Mary, and
was the son of John born ca. 1599 to be incorrect.

In 1646 John GEATHER was administrator as "brother-in-law" of the estate
of Henry WATERS6/WALTERS.7  Whether one of John GATER's wives was a
sister to Henry WATERS, Henry WATERS had a wife who was a sister to John GATER,
or one of John GATER's wives (either Joan or Mary) was a sister to a wife of
Henry WATERS is unknown.  There is NO evidence to indicate that is was by John
GATER's wife Mary being a WATERS as claimed by some.

John GATER moved to Anne Arundel Co., MD about 1649/50, where letters of
administration were issued on his estate on 24 Nov. 1652 to his widow Mary.8

He was not living in 1666 as alleged by Harry Wright Newman.  The records
show that the VA land mentioning John GATER in 1666 as an adjacent land
owner in VA, was the same land that John assigned in 1649. The records
were reciting old land owners from previous deeds, and had not been updated
to show current (1666) land owners.

JOHN GATER had one known child. It is unknown which wife was the mother, but
it should be noted that his son named a daughter Mary, as did at least four
of his children.  The name Joan was not used among his known children or
grandchildren. John GATER had child:
1. John GAITHER b. by 1646 VA;9 bur. 12 Nov. 1702 All Hallow's Parish,
   Anne Arundel Co., MD;11 m. Ruth -?-.  Claims that she was a daughter of
   Joseph MORLEY are in error.  This appeared in print with Harry Wright
   Newman's 1st Edition (1933) of "Anne Arundel Gentry," based on MORLEY's
   1672 will in which he made Robert PROCTOR and John GATHER his executors
   and legatees.21  Newman corrected this in his second edition (1970), as
   court records show Joseph MORLEY died with no heirs.10 

   There are also claims that Ruth's surname was BEARD, daughter of Richard
   BEARD.  To date, noone has been able to supply any records proving that
   Richard's BEARD's daughter Ruth,12 and John GAITHER's wife Ruth are the
   same person.  

   After the death of John GAITHER, his widow Ruth secondly married Francis
   HARDESTY on 13 Jan. 1703 [1703/4].11  Francis HARDESTY and Ruth had child:
   Francis HARDESTY born 27 Feb. 1707 [1707/8].11  Ruth was buried 5 Oct. 1719
   at All Hallow's Parish, Anne Arundel County.11

Harry Wright Newman claimed that Edward GAITHER's wife was the widow Eleanor
WHITTLE, of which nothing else was known.  The evidence is that Eleanor, wife
of Edward GAITHER and Eleanor the widow WHITTLE are NOT the same person.
