Ebenezer Gay, an American clergyman, born in Dedham, Mass., Aug. 26, 1696, died March 18, 1787. He graduated at Harvard college in 1714, and was in 1718 settled over the church at Hingham, Mass., where he remained till his death. On his 85th birthday he preached a sermon from the text: "Lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old," which, under the title of uThe Old Man's Calendar," has been frequently republished in America, went through several editions in England, and was translated into one or two of the continental languages of Europe. Many of his other sermons were published. In theology he was liberal. John Adams said, on the first distinctive announcement of Unitarianism in this country, that he had heard the doctrine from Dr. Gay long before.
