Gunn, Mary, wife of Jasper.
Jasper Gunn married by about 1637 Christian _____. She died between 6 May 1690 (date of will) and 31 October 1690 (date of inventory).
They had six children: Nathaniel, Jobamah, Mehitable Fenn Camp, Abel, Daniel, & Samuel.
How many wives did this immigrant have? He was accompanied on his voyage to New England by Ann Gunn, who may have been his sister, or a first wife. The suggestion has even been made that this is actually his wife Christian, represented here only by the last syllable of her given name. At his admission to Milford church in 1641 his wife's name was given as Mary, but most writers have considered this an error. For the purposes of simplicity, we join other writers in giving Jasper Gunn only one wife, realizing that this position may need to be corrected.
Jobamah is usually given as the eldest son, followed by Nathaniel. However, inasmuch as Nathaniel was married five years before Jobamah, and we have no other evidence to go by, we have reversed this order. In view of this five-year difference, we may even have slightly underestimated the age of Nathaniel.
