Dr. William Gager married by 1618 Hannah Mayhew. They came from Little Waldingfield, Suffolk to Massachusetts Bay in 1630 in the Winthrop Fleet, but probably not on the "Arbella." First settled in Charlestown; moved to Boston in 1630. She died in Boston by 29 November 1630.
They had nine children (all baptized in Little Waldingfield, Suffolk): Sarah, John, William, William again, Rebecca, William again, Thomas, Sarah, & Rebecca.
When the last of the Gager children was baptized in Little Waldingfield, the main body of the Winthrop Fleet had already departed for New England. There were, however, several ships which sailed in May and the Gager family (or at least the mother and newborn child) must have come across at that time.
Jacobus prepared an excellent treatment of this family, including the evidence needed to identify the wife of John Gager.
