ANCESTOR OF BRENDA COX (MCLAUGHLIN)
THROUGH MOTHER Henrietta Tibbetts Twombly

John Hooper married Charity Kay (sometimes recorded as Key or Keay) before 1701. Her family name appears in the "Province of Mayne" records before 1650. Her father was John Kay. (See Province of Mayne Probate Records.) John Kay was a Scotchman. The family came early into Maine, but how early cannot be stated positively. The family surname appears frequently in the court records of "ye old Province of Mayne," between the years "1636 to 1686." They may have come into Maine at the time of the settlement of the Piscataqua, when "the Laconia grant" was made to Sir Fernando Gorges. It is more likely, however, shown by the court records, that they were one of those Scotch families who were "disaffected with King Charles I.," and were complained of as "discontented spirits, hostile to the government of the established church who are now settling on the grants made by the Plymouth Company." It is many years since the name of Kay or Keay has appeared in York County records.
