Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gary Genealogy: The Descendants of Arthur Gary of Roxbury, Massachusetts, With an Account of the Posterity of Stephen Gary of Charlestown, Massachusetts, and Also of a South Carolina Family of This Name
The result was disappointing! The series of Court Rolls is singularly incomplete. For the reign Of Eliza beth there are but four rolls (19 Elizabeth, 20 - 22 Eliza beth, 2 3-26 Elizabeth and 27 Elizabeth). For the reign of James I. There is but one roll (2 James I). Whilst for the reign of Charles I. There is not a single roll.
The Bailiffs' Accounts of Bishop's Stortford which we have so far found are not rendered in any detail; so that we got hardly any names of tenants.
We have now to report a very significant fact. In the Court Rolls of Bishop's Stortford still extant, there is not a single entry relating to the name of Gary or to that of Warman; though hundreds of names occur in the admissions to copyholds, in the records of the receipt of fines for trivial offences, and the like.
There appear to be a number Of parochial records at Bishop's Stortford, in the custody of the church-wardens, besides the registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. Very copious extracts from these miscellaneous docu ments (some Of which go back to the fifteenth century) were printed in 1882 by the late Mr. Glasscock, and from this work we send you every entry relating either to the name Gary or Warman.
In 1642 (a few years after Arthur Gary had left England) we have reference to Nathaniel Gary, evidently his father, who then resided in North Street, Bishop's Stortford. In the same document there is reference to John Warman, who lived in South Street.
