Notes:

Christoher Gales married first the widow of Governor Thomas Harvey: she was Sarah Laker before her marriage, the daughter of Benj. Laker, of Perquimans County. Mr Gale was Chief Justice of the Colony; he lived and died on his plantation adjoining the town of Edenton; the place of his burial is unknown; a marble tablet in the court house at Edenton perpetuates his name and services to his county. William Little married his daughter Penelope.
