"Mary Glynn,
Here’s some additional information about the William Gay property in Henrico, VA.
While investigating the assortment of people mentioned in the Pvt. William H Gay Obituary, I also found the attached Smith’s 1853 Map of Henrico County, VA, which is a detailed map showing all of the various family farms in Henrico County in 1853. The second 1862 map, based on the Smith's 1853 map, best shows the William Gay family farm on New Market Road in Henrico County, VA.
Here’s the links to the Henrico maps:

Pleas let us know if there's a problem finding the map.
Best regards,
Don & Shirley Gay "
