The son of Ralph Gee of Manchester, he entered Merton College, Oxford as servitor, on 22 February 1583.
[1] On 19 September 1599 Gee was instituted rector of Tedburn St. Mary in Devon, on the presentation of the Queen.
He was also chaplain in ordinary to James I and a fellow of Chelsea College, where he was appointed by Matthew Sutcliffe, the founder.
Lord Chancellor Egerton made him his chaplain, and presented him in 1616 to a prebend in Exeter Cathedral.
[1] Gee's wife Jane died at Tedburn in 1613, and a lengthy epitaph was on a brass removed in the 19th century (published in John Prince's Worthies of Devon, and Richard Polwhele's History of Devonshire).
