A John Gee came in the Transport of London in 1635 at the age of 18 but it cannot be stated this is the same John Gee. His first appearance at Great Harbor, as far as the records show, was on Dec. 23, 1661, when he submitted to the Patentee's government, but it is probable that he had been there some time before. The Boston records contain the birth of a son to him and his wife in May, 1662, so that we may conlude his residence here had lately begun and that the family remained at the former residence. Two years later he was granted land on Aug. 20, 1663: "Voted by this town (Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, MA) that John Gee shall have that lot and commonage which was given to Thomas Trapp: itt forfeited: which lot is ten acres upon the line and half a commonage and he to build and inhabit according to the order in fifty two. (Edgartown Records, I, 140). He participated in the divisions of Felix Neck and Machemys Field the next year, and on March 12, 1665 was chosen 'to divide the fish' caught at the town weir. (Edgartown Records, I, 113) This seemed to be his occupation for some time as on May 11, 1667, the town voted that 'John Gee is to have three thousand of fish for orderly dividing of the towns fish every morning.' (Edgartown Records I, 140) He was one of five men chosed by Chief Magistrate Thomas Mayhew in 1667 to dispossess Francis Usselton from Homes Hole Neck, and received as compensation one-sixth part of the land there which remained a part of his estate, undivided, for sixty years. None of the six shareholders remained for settlement at Homes Hole. John Gee's share became a source of subsequent litigation because of his death in 1669 and the removal of his heirs to the mainland. In 1730 Mary Pickering made deposition showing her parentage and sold her rights to her kinsman, Amos Merrell of Boston, who in turn disposed of the share to Joseph Callender of Boston. This land was joined to the town of Tisbury in 1673 (later West Tisbury). He was lost at sea, and is marked as deceased in the town records, Dec. 27, 1669 (Edgartown Records, I, 41) Supposedly drowned off the coast of Martha's Vineyard.
"Hazelelponi Willix - Born in Exeter, Essex County, MA. Daughter of Balthasar Willix and Anna. Servant of Henry Walthan of Weymouth. She was living at the Vineyard in June, 1670, but had removed to Boston the next year, when she was received for baptism at the First Church in that town (Sup. Jud. Court Files, No 971; comp., Records 1st Church, Boston) She remained in Boston for a number of years, until Obadiah Woods, a widower and a baker of Ipswich, met her, proposed, and they were married after 19 Nov. 1671, William Harris of Ipswich testified that he 'well remembers Obadiah Woods intermarrage with the widdow Hazelelepony Gee...that sd Wood brought her from Boston, that it was the Talk of the Times when she came to Dwell at Ipswich.' (Dukes Deeds, VI, 238). It does not appear what caused this 'Taulk of the Times,' but it may be surmised that her name was enought to excite village gossip. No known descendants on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Have seen her name as Hazel el poneh, Hazelelponah, Hazelelponi, Hazelelpony. She survived her second husband, and died at Ipswich. Her stone reads 'Haselelpony Wood widdow of Obadiah Wood, died Novem'r ye 27, 1714. Aged 78 years. Wright Blessed are ye Dead who Die in ye Lord' - Buried at the Old Burying Ground, Ipswich, MA. Children: Mary, Annah, Martha, John."
