ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Many persons, past and present, have provided information that made this publication possible. We shall ever be grateful for the loyalty and interest of Mrs. Millie Reed Uhl who passed away on January 5, 1963. Our inspiration, and a good portion of our financial sup­ port came through Mrs. Lela Sage Dawson, of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, who now lives in California. Mrs. Dawson made four trips to Virginia in the interest of this project, and accompanied the editor to the National Archives at Washington, D. C., in 1955. One of our research authors, Mrs. Marguerite (Sage) Parker (Mrs. Sterling Parker), of Vancouver, Washington, has conducted a wide research on Sage and allied famiiJes through­ out the United States. Mr. Jo~n Edward (Pat) Gwin-Sage, the other, has been responsible for most of the genealogical research in England. He has also aided measurably by making photo-copies of docu­ ments, other records, and photographs. A few hundred persons in all areas of the country have provided data for this volume through completing family-group sheets, replying to letters, or volunteering information. To these we hereby express our whole-hearted thanks for their splendid co-operation and assistance. We have made an effort to give credit for each contribution when such is possible. Please accept our eternal gratitude in behalf of generations yet unborn. The Editors

FOREWORD

THE MARCH OF THE SAGES was planned primarily for a permanent record of the descendants of James Sage of Gray­ son County, Virginia. However, more than a decade of research has produced scores of unindentified Sage families, that we hope can be attached to the correct family tree through our publication. As an additional feature we are including some of the allied families, who have intermarried with the Sages or related families. We cannot assure replies to all letters and queries concern­ ing data in this volume, but will make an effort to comply when possible (if stamped, addressed envelopes are enclosed). Letters in the form of questionnaires are preferable. Unless there has been recent correspondence with the authors, no persons born after 1959 have been listed in this genealogy. While we have made every reasonable effort to avoid errors, it is unwise to claim that the material is flawless. In some instances those who provided data may have erred without intention of doing so; or names and dates may have been mis­ read, or misspelled. It is impossible for one who has never attempted to compile a family history to conceive of the numerous problems one encounters in securing records, and arranging them in the proper order. We trust, however, that this volume will serve its purpose-­ to provide a family history for the present generation, and for posterity.

8 PART I

The Sages of England

There has been much speculation regarding the origin and medieval genealogy of the Sage families. The Patronimica Britanica states that it is probably a name that is a translation of "Le Sage," which is still a fairly common French surname. "It has reference to the wisdom of the original bearer; wise, as an English surname is a precise analogue." It has been assumed that a family, or man, of this name came over with William the Conqueror, and was the founder of the Sage family in England. Furthermore, the fleurs-de-lis in the arms indicates a French origin of the name. The motto, "Not for self, but for Country", is one of which any family might be proud. The description, as given by Burke: Arms - per pale erminois, and vert three fleurs-de-lis counterchanged. Crest - A stag's head erased and erect proper. Motto - Non Sibi Sed Patriae (Not for himself, but for his Country.) (The Welsh Sage coat of arms will be described in a later paragraph, along with two descriptions of other existing coats of arms used by various Sage families.)

9 Little is known of the family in England, as military men of valor, or heroes in time of war, since no research has been conducted along that line. However, a number of Sages were Colonial soldiers in the American Revolution, and will be listed hereafter. It has been stated in some encyclopedia that the first woman who ever ascended in a balloon was a Miss Sage, in England, sometime about 1800.

The Coat of Arms of David Sage of Wales (1639) and his descendants.

The above coat of arms, which is used by many descendants of David Sage of Wales, (1639), shows a stag as a crest. The wreath of grain, fruits, and flowers, surrounding it indicate a

15 people devoted to agricultural pursuits. It is claimed by the author of "Genealogical Records of David Sage", (Elisha Sage), that the Sage family had a Scandanavian origin, and the name was probably "Saga" when the Norsemen conquered Norman­ dy. In France it was believed to have been modified to "Sage", with the prefix "Le" added to denote landed occupation. He further thought that, as those of that name spread to other countries the name underwent various changes, such as "Sarge" or "Sauge" in Germany and Switzerland, and Le Sage in France. The word "Saga" among the Scandanavian tribes suggested the written or spoken accounts of a literary person, or historian. In the British Isles the name was unknown until after the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and on the Battle Abbey roll it was listed as "Sageville". Mr. Sage further stated that the name is found in all countries of the British Isles, but that the first introduction there was through their English conquerors. The author, Elisha Sage, seemed convinced that the above coat of arms was the one granted by William the Conqueror in 1066, adding that it was brought to America soon after the Revolution, from London, by Captain Nathan Sage. Its motto is "Non Sibi", (Not for self). It was also claimed by the above source that there exist two other coats of arms for the name of Sage - one represent­ ing a bleeding, severed head, and the other a group of venerable old men, both of which may be authentic, but of different origin. It was suggested that the severed head may have represented some event in French history, and the group of venerable old men one of German origin.

(Note: James Sage then lived in Montgomery Co., Va., but was probably in the Army in 1782.) David Sage (1639) and Related Branches Since David Sage of Wales was one of the first known immigrants of the name, we shall give a brief introduction to his family here, but shall not attempt a genealogy of his de­ scendants, which was adequately done by Elisha L. Sage, and published in 1878. The volume contained hundreds of de­ scendants of David Sage up to that time. The author believed that these included about ninety percent of all Sages in the United States at that time. However, the percentage now ( eighty-eight years later) would be somewhat lower, we believe. "A Genealogy of David Sage and Descendants" was brought up-to-date and published by Charles H. Sage in 1919, at Batavia, New York, as "THE SAGE FAMILY". A genealogy was published, we understand, in the 1950's. While we are making no attempt to extend this line any farther, there will be sections of the volume hereafter given to miscellaneous and unidentified Sages, among which some of David's descendants may be found and identified. David Sage (born 1639) was a native of Wales, and was among the first settlers of Middletown, Connecticut, in 1652. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Kirby in 1664. They had four children: David, John, Elizabeth, and Mary. Eliza-

19 beth died, and in 1673 he married Mary Willcox. They had Jonathan, Timothy, and Mercy. Since the above genealogies are still in print, these sons and daughters may be traced in many cases down to the present generations. Below is the partial line of a present-day descendant of David Sage with whom we have carried on a correspondence. Mrs. Laura (Sage) Jones, who with her mother, Mrs. Clara Sage, compiled the court records and history of Hampshire County, Va. (W. Va.) over thirty years ago, stated that her father was Charles Augustus Sage, whose father was Henry William Sage, a son of Chauncey Sage, born 1793, and died in 1892. According to "THE SAGE FAMILY" they are descended from David Sage through his son, John, and Comfort (Starr) Sage. They are also descended from Abiel Sage, a Revolution­ ary soldier. Mrs. Jones had a brother, Robert Henry Sage. In 1959 she was living at 1134 - North Ogden Drive - Los Angeles, Calif. Their Hampshire County, Virginia (W. Va.) History con­ tained only two Sages listed in the index. One was Samuel Sage who witnessed a document in 1799, and is unidentiifed.

20 The Western Pennsylvania Sages Another Sage line that claims possible descent from David Sage (of Wales) is that of Mrs. Myrtle (Sage) Campbell, (Mrs. R. J.), of Middletown, Delaware and Mrs. Olive B. Hawk, of Bruin, Pennsylvania. Mrs. R. J. Campbell is now deceased, but during the 1950's she wrote most interesting letters concerning her family and ancestors. They are Western Pennsylvania Sages, and she lived there most of her life. Mrs. Campbell stated that she had never met but two of that name outside her own family. One was a doctor's son, Frank Sage, who was with her in the first grade in school. The other was Mrs. Sarah (Sage) Phipps, who once showed her a well-bound and rather thick volume of a Sage genealogy from William the Conqueror down to the late 1800's. * Since she was then not interested in genealogy, she had no idea if ( or where) the book could be found. Mrs. Campbell thought that her family was descended from David Sage through his son, Jonathan (1674-1712). Her father, James E. Sage, Esq., followed oil developments, was a contractor for building rigs - made of timber in those days. "He was lucky enough to be in on a gusher once in Forest County, Pennsylvania. John D. Rockefeller stepped in, as usual, to buy the field, and because the company refused to sell it, Mr. Rockefeller saw that my father was frozen out that whole winter. I distinctly remember my mother saying, "Well, if it hadn't been for your father's oil interests we might have had slim pickings this winter". He went alone to Sistersville, West Virginia when it was nothing but a boat landing, vvhere he was in charge of building for Carter Oil Company, a branch of Standard Oil." Both James E. Sage and his wife are buried at Sistersville, W. Va. Below is their family record as we have it: James Sage-b. Sept. 26, 1806, Cumberland Co., Pa.; m. Margaret Horn (or Hoon), who was b. Oct. 11, 1810, in Cum­ berland Co., Pa. They were m. Jan. 30, 1833, and were Mrs. Campbell's grandparents. Children: *(This may have been the book of David Sage's descendants.)

Hawk, of Box 236 - Bruin, Pennsylvania; also Mr. Robert J. Campbell, Jr. of Indiana. * * * * * * Russell Sage of Wall Street Russell Sage was b. Aug. 4, 1816, in Oneida Co., N. Y. His parents were Elisha and Prudence (Risley) Sage. His grand­ father's name was Elisha, whose father was Amos. The father of Amos was Timothy, son of David (of Wales) At the age of thirteen, Russell Sage was a salesman in a country store (for a brother), earning $4.00 per week. He resolved to acquire two vacant lots near his work, saved his money, and paid $200 for them. He became a horse trader, and was known as a "shrewd judge of horse flesh" while still a clerk at his brother's store, (Henry Sage) in Troy, New York. In 1848 Russell Sage was a delegate to the National Whig Convention. In 1856 he was opposing slavery in the United States Congress. In 1863 he gave up the Troy business and moved to New York to devote himself wholly to the promotion of his railroads, and to operate in the stocks. He soon became one of the largest railroad owners in the country. In 1891 (Dec. 4), while in his office at 71 Broadway, he escaped death by a miracle. An insane crank named Henry W. Norcross, of Somerville, Massachusetts, entered the office carry­ ing a bag loaded with dynamite, and demanded $1,200,000, or he would blow up the building. Knowing that he was a mad­ man, Mr. Sage retreated. The man lifted the bag above his head and dashed it violently against the floor. It blew the man's head off, killed a clerk, injured others, and wrecked the office. Mr. Sage was badly shocked, and received minor wounds, but returned to his business within a few days.

23 One of those most severely injured was William R. Laidlaw, who had called on business. Laidlaw brought suit for damages against Russell Sage, claiming that the latter had used Laid­ law's body as a shield from the impact of the explosive. The jury awarded Laidlaw $25,000 damages. Mr. Sage insisted that the charge was untrue. He appeal­ ed, got a new trial, and the jury failed to agree. Then the plantiff obtained a $43,000 judgment. Again Sage appealed, and in January, 1899 the court of appeals reversed the judgment. Russell Sage m. (1) Maria L. Winne, of Troy, New York, in 1841. She d. in 1867. Two years later he m. (2) Margaret Olivia Slocum. He died July 22, 1906 in New York, leaving no descendants, but a vast estate, a large portion of which was given to philanthrophy.

Sage of Alma, Kansas In January, 1966 a friend sent us a clipping from the Kansas City Times, which contained the column of Mrs. Ada Sage Laverty. Mrs. Laverty was the daughter of Frank I. Sage.

They lived in a house built of native stone, as shown in Mrs. Laverty's article. They are descended from David Sage of Wales. Mrs. Laverty stated in a letter that she had noted a tendency in many of the Sages to be on the "bookish side". Her present address is: Mrs. Frank W. Laverty - 4321 King's Circle North - Fort Worth, Texas 76111. * * * * Hampshire County, Va. (W. Va.) Family Mrs. Laura (Sage) Jones and her mother, Mrs. Clara Sage, compiled a volume of Hampshire County, Va. (W. Va.) records during the 1930's. Mrs. Jones is a descendant of David Sage, whose son, John, had a great grandson named Abiel Sage, a Revolutionary soldier. Mrs. Jones' great grandfather was Chauncey Sage, b. 1793, d. 1892. Her grandfather was Henry Williams Sage. They descended from John, who m. Comfort Starr.

Miscellaneous Sage Families (From data of Mrs. Robert L. Hacker - 312 Columbia Pike - Arlington, Va.) Robert Sage of North Carolina Robert Sage, of Onslow and New Hanover Counties, North Carolina, was b. March 30, 1730, the son of James and Mary Sage. His birthplace is not definitely known. He was described as a bricklayer of New Hanover County when he acquired acreage in the Beasley Swamp area of New Hanover and Onslow Counties in 1763 and 1764. In 1765 he sold his acreage on Panther Branch in New Hanover County, declaring himself to be a bricklayer of Onslow County. His place was described as a regular post stop between Snead's on New River Ferry and Collins. A 1755 deed calls him an inn-keeper of Onslow County, and his inn was described as a good stage in 1791, when the itinerary of George Washington's tour was planned. His place was then said to be on the road between New Bern and Wil­ mington. Snead's Ferry is still indicated on modern maps, and we may be correct in saying that his house was located on what is now Federal Highway 17, a few miles southwest of Holly Ridge, since it was said to have been thirteen miles from Snead's. Robert Sage is known to have been alive in 1799, and is probably the one listed in the Onslow County census of 1800, with household consisting of one male over 45 (himself) ; one female of 45 or more (who was his wife, Sarah - b. Nov. 24, 17 40, , and one female between 16 and 25. Their youngest daughter was 18 in 1800.) In 1799 Robert Sage gave her a slave girl named Jeanny to repay her for caring for him, and nursing him. No will was recorded, so far as is known. He had sold his lands on Beasley Creek, disposing of them in deeds of 1775 and 1795.

27 The names of Robert's and Sarah's ten ,~t;hildren were entered in a family Bible, which in 1899, was in the hands of Sarah James, (probably the wife of Hetty-Bella's grandson, John.) (1) Hester - b. Jan. 31, 1758; m. _____ Edens, and had Robert and Sally. (2) Mary - b. Aug. 23, 1759. (3) Prudence - b. Jan. 28, 1761. (4) James - b. Oct. 8, 1762. (5) Elizabeth - b. Oct. 8, 1765; d. Sept. 30, 1796; m. (as his first wife), Thomas Cowan, (1767-1831), son of John and Priscilla Cowan). They had one child, who d. in 1827, after two marriages and five children. (6) Robert - b. March 15, 1769. Removed to Baltimore, Md. ( 7) Margaret - b. June 11, 1771. She was living June 14, 1843, aged 72, when she filed a pension claim. She m. March 11, 1793, John Eden, who d. at sea in 1798 or 1799. They had: Robert, Sarah S., and Ann.

(8) Sarah - b. Oct. 14, 1774; d. Oct. 14, 1866. She m. (as his second wife), her sister's widower, Thomas Cowan. They had seven children: Thomas, Jr., Robert H., Thomas (again), Sarah Eliza, Priscilla Ann, Caroline L., and James Monroe. Only Robert H., Thomas, the younger, and Sarah Eliza lived long enough for marriage and offspring.

(9) George Washington - b. (probably) March, 1779. He sailed to the West Indies as a super-cargo, died, and was buried at sea.

(10) Hetty-Bella - b. Oct. 22, 1782; m. in Feb., 1805, Joshua James, and had three children: (1) Joshua James, who removed to Mississippi, (2) John - m. Martha Tilling­ hast ; and ( 3) Robert.

Personal Data and Anecdotes - Robert Sage According to his daughter, Sarah Sage Cowan, Robert Sage was a man of immense physical proportions. Too heavy for military duty, he made his house the headquarters of Rebel sympathizers during the Revolution, and was said to have been a wise and conservative counselor. Sarah related this story about him to her grandson, David Stone Cowan: "He kept King George's picture hanging on the wall in his parlor. His friends earnestly protested, insisting that it looked a little disloyal. He defended his act. Finally they carried the matter to General Washington, who happened into that section. The General was, at first, disposed to decide against Mr. Sage, who remarked, "Why, damn it, General! When the Bluecoats come here and see the picture, they will take me for a local subject. Why, Sir, it's equal to five hundred men in our cause!" The General told him to keep it there. * * * * * * The Rockingham County, Virginia Sage Family The following is an excerpt from the National Genealogical Society Quarterly (in 1956 or 1957) : Mrs. Minnie Browning, of Brownlove, Indiana, stated, 1933, that John Sage was born in Virginia. Russell Sage, of Ewing, Indiana, quoted the following from "THE SAGE FAMILY", by Elisha Sage, "John Sage had two sons in the Revolutionary War, and served under Col. Daniel Boone. John Sage, Jr., b. 1777 ( ?) , was his grand­ father; m. 1805, Harrodsburg, Ky.; came to Washington Co.,

29 Indiana, where he died in 1843. His wife, Nancy (Hart) Sage, is buried in Jackson Co., Ind. "Also two brothers, John and William Sage, son of a man whose given name is unknown, came to Rockingham Co., Va., and settled there in 1745." The Veterans Administration states that this is the only Revolutionary soldier by the name of John, who applied for a pension. However, we find a record (which will appear here­ after) of a John Sage who died in Rutherford Co., Tenn., and whose family later migrated to Mississippi. This John was also said to have been a Revolutionary soldier, but did not apply for a pension, yet his wife, Mary, did after his death. John Sage of Rockingham County, Virginia, according to descendants, moved to Kentucky. His known children were: Henry - b. 1774, and John, Jr. - b. 1776. There was a William Sage in Hampshire County, Virginia, as shown in the tax list of 1782-1787, with a large family. It is possible that this William Sage was a brother of John Sage of Rockingham Co., Va. Below is the family record of descendants of John Sage, Jr., as given by Mr. Russell Sage of Ewing, Indiana (from family Bible) : John Sage II (son of John Sage I) - b. Nov. 17, 1777; d.

National Genealogical Society Quarterly Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Applications Below is the record of one John Sage, who served in the Revolution, who may, or may not, have been the John Sage, 1isted by the Indiana descendants: John Sage, soldier, applied for a pension Sept. ~' 1818, Maury Co., Tenn. ; moved to Tennessee from Kentucky, 1798 ; not stated when he moved from Virginia; in 1820 a resident of Rutherford Co., Tenn.; age 64 years; enlisted Aug., 1776 as private in Capt. Stephen Ashby's Co., Col. James Wood's 12th Va. Reg't.; was discharged at Stony Point, Hudson River, Oct. 1778 ; served in Militia, and was at surrender of Cornwallis; in 1820 his family consisted of himself, his wife, daughter, Lucinda, 18, and son, Abner, 13. Mary Sage, Marshall Co., Miss., applied for a pension 13, March, 1840, age 69 years; moved to Miss. in 1838 from Ruther­ ford Co., Tenn. She m. John Sage 12 March, 1790, Madison Co., Tenn. In 1848 she still lived in Marshall Co., Miss. Travis Sage, son, testified March 16, 1840, in Marshall Co., Miss. A leaf of the family Bible was produced to show the record of children born to John and Mary Sage, and to prove the marriage. Their children were: 1. Margaret Sage - b. Nov. 6, 1791; m. Jacob Brown, of Pa., Nov. 2, 1815. 2. Jesse Sage - b. Feb. 28, 1795 3. Thomas Nash Sage - b. Jan. 28, 1797; m. Nancy Right, Jan. 21, 1823.

32 4. 1Travis Sage - b. Jan. 13, 1801; m. Rachel Potts, Oct. 1, 1822; lived in 1848 at Holly Springs, Marsh Co., Miss. 5. Lucinda Sage - b. Apr. 1, 1803. 6. Abner Sage - b. Apr. 10, 1808.

Travis C. Nash, Bedford Co., Tenn., 1840, age 59 years, deposed he was acquainted with John Sage and Mary Nash Sage in Kentucky. No relationship stated.

A letter dated Jan. 24, 1963, from Mrs. Lewis 0. Bowman, Sr. (216 Croyden Ave., Rockville, Md.) gave other data on the John Sage whose wife was later proven to be Mary Nash. The names of her parents are not known, but a Capt. John Nash, Sr. and another John Nash were in a later census of Lincoln Co., Ky., and supposedly went to Tennessee.

Below is an extension of this John Sage line, which was provided by Mrs. Sterling Parker, of Vancouver, Washington. In a letter to Mrs. Parker from Mrs. Susie Sage, of White Hall, Tenn., the latter stated that the Sages in that area ( around Nashville) were descended from Jeremiah Sage that came from Auburn, Indiana. The following was copied from the David Sage Genealogy (1878) by Mrs. Parker: "John Sage, 1747. His father immigrated from England or Wales about 1740-5, (father's name lost). John was in the War of Independence; remained in Va. after its close; removed to Ky. about 1790; afterward to Tenn. Had four sons: William- 1792, Jesse-1795, Thomas N.-1797, Travis N.-1799; one daugli­ ter. Jesse (No. 2) had 2 sons and 3 daughters: William, Thomas, Tennessee, Elizabeth, Caroline. Thomas N. (No. 3) had 6 sons and 3 daughters: William F. Calvin C., Thomas N., John W., Travis N., Elisha W., and 3 daughters, unnamed.

33 Travis (No. 4) had: John A., Abner P., Thomas J., James M., and William W. These lived in Mississippi, or most of them did, and many of them had issue. If the John Sage who was born in Virginia, moved to Kentucky in 1790, and was in Rutherford Co., Tenn. in 1820, and had married Mary Nash, was the father of John Sage (b. 1777), and his brother, Henry Sage, there would have been a previous marriage for him around 1774, when he wa.s only about 18 years of age. This is not impossible, but it re­ mains one of those genealogical puzzies. Perhaps a reader may know the solution. If so, Mr. Russell Sage, of Ewing, Indiana, would like to find it. Perhaps we should extend the above line a bit farther in order that those who may belong to this line of the family will recognize their branch. William F. Sage, (son of Thomas N. (1797), was b. in 1825, Murfreesboro, Tenn.; 4 sons: William H.-1856; Thomas N.- 1860; John W.-1865; James F.-1872; and he had 4 daughters. Travis N. Sage (1799), 5 sons: John A.-1826; Abner P.- 1827; Thomas J.-1830; James M.-1837; William W.-1838; and fl daughters. John W. Sage (1834), son of Thomas N., had 1 son, Robert E.-1869; 1 dau., Myrtle D.-1867. Rev. Abner P. Sage (1827), Carrolton, Miss., son of Travis N. ( 1799) . No issue. Thomas J. Sage (1830), Hope, Hempstead Co., Miss., son of Travis N. (1799), had sons: Henry A.-1848; William A.- 1850; Travis E.-1855; and others. William W. Sage (1838), Cockrum, Miss., (son of Travis N. 1799), had 2 sons: William F.-1873; Robert H.-1876; 2 daughters: Julia-1870, Emma-1872. * * * * Miscellaneous Sage Records of Unidentified Lines Early Pennsylvania Marriages: Sage, Alexander, and Ann Dark; Jan., 1748.

One was History of the Sage and Slocum Families, by Henry Whittimire. The other was The Last Rustler (Lee Sage), which contained an autobiographical account of a rustler, known as Lee Sage I had heard of this man, and had prepared myself to accept the frequent :::aying that almost every family tree concealed some­ where :imong its branches a horse thief, or other type of rascal, if one probed too carefully, and dislodged him from a hollow or decayed branch.

39 But Mr. P. J. E. Gwin-Sage had his doubts, and in 1965 he made an investigation of the personal record of the so-called Lee Sage. Through a representative of the Utah Historical Society at Salt Lake City, he learned that the name, Sage, was only a pseudonym, and his real name was Lee Nielson. He was known in Salt Lake City as "Snap Nelson". Through other sources of reliable nature Mr. Gwin-Sage received the following information concerning "Lee Sage": His father was at one time a minor member of "Butch" Cassidy's "Robbers' Roost" gang. He was in some way related to the Lee family of Torrey, one of which spent two years in the "pen" for horse-stealing in place of Neilson, while the latter took care of his family. He was known ju one area as "Pete Thief". He took the name of Sage because he thought it was more romantic for an author, than that of Neilson. It is said that he did not write the book, which was written by a woman he later married; also that most of its contents included his father's activities, and that he, himself knew very little about horses. The summary of his qualities is that, if he ever did an honest day's work, his acquaintances never heard of it. Therefore, we eliminate "The Last Rustler" from our "March of the Sages." * * Some Sages of Iowa In October, 1964 there was a letter from Mrs. Harold Fagen of Earlham, Iowa, concerning one Celinda Sage who m. Hiland Hall Breckenridge ( of Vermont) on March 23, 1838. She d. March 10, 1882, and is buried at High Prairie Cemetery, at Muscatine, Iowa.

Another Sage family that lived in Iowa was listed by Mrs. M. Wales from a Swayze genealogy, for Mr. P. J.E. Gwin-Sage: Israel Swayse - b. Nov. 5, 1809; d. June, 1855, Ontario, Canada; m. Matilda Sage, of West Oxford, Ont. She was b. Nov. 6, 1811; d. Aug. 17, 1870, at Victor, Iowa.

Mariam Swayze (sister of Israel) - b. 1819; m. Levi Sage; left West Oxford with her husband for Iowa in Sept. 1865, living with her dau., Hester Nace, who had several children. (Record written in 1910) "Israel was a Tory, and had to flee this country. His property was "alienated". He had 2000 acres at $4.00 per acre." (Note: I am not sure whether this means property in Canada, but there is no indication that he owned property in the United States. Ed.) Issue of Levi Sage and Mariam Swayze: 1. Martha Sage - b. May 25, 1842, (near Ingersoll, Ont.); 2. Emerson - b. ]\fay 3, 1843; 3. Mary H. - b. Oct. 17, 1844; 4. Susan C. - b. Oct. 16, 184 7; 5. Levi I. - b. March 28, 1849; 6. James E. - b.

(All were born in Ingersoll, Ontario) . "Some of this clan became doctors' and settled in Cali­ fornia."

We recently received a clipping from an Iowa daily news­ paper, concerning a man named William Nelson Sage, who was approaching his ninetieth birthday at Keokuk, Iowa (in 1962). The article was written by Dorothy Pickett, who described William Nelson Sage as a rather colorful figure. He was b. in Clark Co., Iowa on April 10, 1872. His grand­ father homesteaded a farm west of Keokuk in 1840, and it still remained in the family.

41 William Nelson Sage spent a number of years in the lumber industry. In 1895 he went into the grain business at Alex­ andria. Nine years later he was associated with the Hubinger Company, moving to Keokuk on Sept. 10, 1905. The Hubingers were peddling ironing boards from door to door in the east, but found women clamoring for a cold-water starch. They bought a "secret" recipe from a Chinese laundry, experimented with it and found it successful. Thus was the founding of a world-famous institution. William Nelson Sage was a manager in the firm. Later the Hubingers engaged in race-horse activities. Sage remained with them until 1915, when the company sold out. Seven years prior to this he had been a director of the State Central Bank, and was still serving in 1962. In 1911 he became a director in Iowa State Insurance Company. After he left Hubingers he became vice-president and general manager. He also played an important part in building a dam for water power in the area. He spent one year as a "dollar-a-year" man in Washington, D. C., with some unusual experiences. No genealogy of Mr. Sage is given here. He and his wife lived at 711 Franklin (in Keokuk) in 1962. He purchased the home in 1905. His business activities were then confined to directorship of the bank, and looking after his farms. (Note: Mr. Gwin-Sage also sent along a blank check headed, "Alexandra, Mo. ____ 191_. The Sage Banking Company", which apparently had a connection with the banking activities of William Nelson Sage.) * * * * * Colorado Census from 1885 (From P. J. E.

Buried from St. John Evangelist Roman Catholic Church­ Butte, Montana. Mass at Church, burial in lot 65, Block 7, grave 3&4, Holy Cross Cemetery. His wife, Mary Donolan Sage, d. Jan. 18, 1923. Mass at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, burial in Holy Cross Ceme­ tery, plot of Robert Donolan - lot 1, block 285. Mary Sage, age 3 years, d. Sept. 28, 1914. Joseph left two children, a brother - Frank Sage of Gary, Ind.; and a sister, Mrs. E. Locke, living in Wheaton .. Mo.; also a brother in Los Angeles. Headlines of a Newspaper: "Mexican Gang Suspected of Foul Play; Partial Recog­ nition of Two by Victim; Third Man and Woman Sought by Police Authorities." The two partially identified by the officer were: Valdez, who was under arrest, and Ferdinandez, who was placed in a car with Mr. Sage.

43 Prior to his life as a policeman, Mr. Sage had been em­ ployed at a state asylum at Warm Springs, and later engaged in mining at Butte. He was 50 years old, and survived by two children. Chief Murphy of Butte Police Department, said, "Butte has 1ost a good officer." One brother, Frank Sage, of Gary, Indiana, is an engineer, who at one time operated in Montana. Record Numbers at City Hall, Butte, Montana: 19059 Mary D. Sage (Daughter) 29005 Mary E. Sage (Wife) 31129 Joseph Sage (Husband) Joseph was said to have been older than he claimed, and is also thought by some to have been a great grandson of James Sage, Revolutionary soldier, of Montgomery County, Virginia, through his descendants: Charles, and William W. Sage, (to be listed hereafter). However, the names of his surviving brothers do not appear to prove this, unless called by different given names. (Source of data: P. J. E. Gwin-Sage).

Russell Sage, Sheriff - Billings, Montana Russell Sage - b. Feb., 1884, at Clarence, Mo., and died July, 1926, at Billings, Montana, as the result of bullet wounds inflicted by a supposedly insane prisoner. He went to Billings in 1902, as a young man of 18. Before becoming a peace officer he worked on ranches, and as a teamster. About 1905 he was appointed a patrolman of the city police force, and served a few years. In October, 1909, while serving on the force, a demented Chinaman barricaded himself in a house. A shot through the door struck Sage in the side, but was deflected without causing serious mJury. With the help of another officer, he finally wounded and captured the man. In 1911 he went into a draying business. Later he served as a street commissioner a little over a year. From there he went to Ringling, where he engaged in farming and livestock raising for some years.

44 About 1918 he returned to Billings, purchased several trucks, and carried on a trucking business, until his election to the office of sheriff of Yellowstone Co., in 1922, again in 1921 and 1926.

Russell Sage was m. to Miss Fannie Parks of Billings, April 22, 1911. They had 3 children: Helen -14, Mary Jane - 5, and Russell - 2. He was survived by 4 brothers: Emmet Sage - Clarence, Mo.; J. F. Sage - Billings; Clem Sage -­ Boyd, Mont.; and David Sage - Oklahoma City, Okla.; two sisters: Mrs. Gentry Withers and Mrs. Ida Snodgrass, of Clarence, Mo.

In correspondence with Mrs. Mae (Sage) Withers, sister of the slain sheriff, it was learned that they were descended from a man named John Butler Sage, a son of one James Sage. The family originally came from Kentucky, but the sheriff and his brothers and sisters were born in Missouri. Their brother, Clem Sage, later lived in Yakima, Washington. Again, while Yve are not sure, it seems possible that this family may also be descended from James Sage, of Montgomery (and Grayson) Counties, Va., through his son, Charles, and grandson, James.

James Sage, Virginia Soldier of the Revolution, and Descendants (Montgomery County, Virginia) (I) The earliest records we have of James Sage come from his old notebook, with a home-tanned leather binding, which is still intact, and owned by a descendant. He was born about 17 49 somewhere in the area of London, England. In the notebook he referred to Shepton Mallet as his "dwelling place". Another note inscribed in the little book revealed his oc­ cupation: "James Sage, Baker, for His Majesty, King George

50 HI." And the only clue we have ever found to the date of his immigration was penned in this little book: "James Sage, Baker, from London 23 July, 1773."

A tradition has persisted that James Sage first lived in the area of Frederick, Maryland before migrating to Virginia, which is possible. However, to date we have been unable to locate any immigration, tax, or census record of him in Mary­ land. Neither have we found any Revolutionary service for him from Maryland, while there seem to have been war records for either two James Sages of Virginia, or one James Sage with two intermittent periods of service, ( 1770's and l 780's).

He was married to Lovis (or Lovice) Ott (or Utt), daugh­ ter of Sylvester Ott, in Montgomery County, Va., on December 25, 1780. (See "Documents and Records of Sage and Related Families", PART V).

The original home of the Sages and Otts, in Southwestern Virginia, was on Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. Since Wythe County was formed 1789-90 from Montgomery County, all soldiers of the Revolution from the area now known as Wythe County would have then lived in Montgomery County.

In her application for a pension in 1851, Lovis stated that James served 8 months in 1779 as a private in Capt. Robert Sawyer's company; 6 months in 1781 with Capt. James Mont­ gomery; 6 months in 1782 with Capt. John Montgomery, under Col. John Rual; also 6 months under the last-named captain, in Col. Crockett's regiment. He was drafted in 1781 and 1782, but volunteered in 1783. She stated that he was discharged in Pennsylvania, but left his discharge in a pair of buckskin trousers. She was unable to remember all battles in which he Participated, since she was in her middle nineties at the time of the application. However, she did recall the battles c-f Mon­ mouth, Bunker Hill, and Sullivan's Island. She also stated that he had learned the trade of a baker in London. The pension was never granted, because Lovis died before she could complete the necessary proof needed by the War Department.

51

James and Lovis apparently remained on Cripple Creek in Wythe County, Va. for about ten or eleven years following their marriage. About 1791 James purchased a tract of land on Elk Creek, then in Wythe County, but in 1792, was in the newly organized county of Grayson. The deed for his property is on record in the Grayson County, Va. clerk's office, where there is also a drawing of the tract. James and Lovis Sage loaded their household belongings and implements into a wagon for the move across Iron Mountain to Elk Creek. There were about five or six children, also. A number of families were already living on Elk Creek, but, according to a great grandson, Peter Delp, James was the first to attempt the journey up Dry Run Creek, and through the gap in Iron Mountain, on four wheels. The trail followed the bed of the swift little creek. Well up the trail, as the land grew steeper, the family found themselves confronted by a water fall six to eight feet high. James "scotched" his wheels, and surveyed the situation. Then he loosed the horses, hitched them to trees, after which he laboriously dismembered the wagon and carried it, piece by piece, around the falls. Then he reassembled it and resumed the trip. (This story was related by James' and Lovis' youngest daughter, Elizabeth, to her grandson, Peter M. Delp, who showed the --writer the waterfall in 1935). The children of James Sage and Lovis (Ott) Sage were: 1. Samuel Sage - b. August 5, 1781, Montgomery County, Va.; m. Charity _____ ? (Of whom liereafter). 2. John Sage - b. Oct. 24, 1782, Montgomery County, Va.; d. in infancy. 3. James Sage - b. June 17, 1784; d. April 21, 1869; m. Cathe­ rine Cannoy, Grayson Co., Va. 4. Mary (Polly) Sage - b. Dec. 4, 1785; m. John Hall, Oct. 30, 1804, Grayson Co., Va. 5. Catherine Sage (Caty) - b. Jan. 5, 1787, (Montgomery Co., Va.; d. Jan. 21, 1853 in Wyandotte, Kansas; m. three times. ( Of whom hereafter) . 54 6.

James and Lovis Sage reared a grandson, Martin Sage - b. 1803. Since the names of Martin's parents are unavailable, he will be listed as number 15 in the genealogical system used therein.

After James Sage and family moved to the farm in Gray­ son County, on Elk Creek, he purchased a stallion, and raised a number of good horses. During the summer of 1792 two of his horses were stolen. He immediately organized a posse of settlers to go in search of the horses, which they found grazing on White

55 'fop Mountain, a peak some miles from his home. The posse re::overed the horses, but the thief escaped capture. After the horses were recovered the incident was soon forgotten, until one day in July, while James was working in his crops with his sons, five-year old Catherine (Caty) suddenly diS':cpearcd from the vegetable garden, as Lovis went about the chore of washing the family's clothes at the creek bank. A posse was quickly organized to search for the child, who was not located, until fifty-six years later, by her brother, Charles, who had migrated to Jackson Co., Mo. Although she was then living among the Wyandotte Indians, everyone was sure that she had been abducted by the out-witted horse thief, and "traded" to Indians. (For complete details of this dra­ matic, but true story, read Red Trails and White - (Bonnie Ball, 1955). James Sage died March 17, 1820, without any knowledge of foe whereabouts of the lost Caty, whose name was omitted from his will. Lovis died August 28, 1854, as she neared the century mark, she was notified in the swing of 1848 that her lost Caty had been located in the Wyandotte Nation near Kansas City, but she was not able to see her again. Caty lost her vision about 1850, and died of 1menmonia i'1 1851. (For further details see paragraphs on Catherine Sage, and a sketch on the Wyandottes in Part VI.) Both James and Lovis Sage are buried in the Sav,;yer Cemetery at Elk Creek, Va. In 1936 the Black's Fort Chapter D.A.R. marked the grave of James. Lovis' grave is unmarked.

58 Samuel Sage 1-1 Samuel Sage, the first child of James and Lovis (Ott) Sage, was b. Aug. 5, 1781 in what was then Montgomery County, Va. He m. Charity _____ ?, b. in North Carolina about 1785. The date of their marriage has not been established, but it was probably about 1804. 'There have been conje::ture:; that Charity may have been a Fleming, or even a Gordon, because she used the two names for one of her sons. Samuel was in Lee County, Virginia in 1812-13-14, when he enlisted in the army for the War of 1812, having served two terms. He was living in Sevier County, Tenn. in 1830, near his son, Morgan. His land grants are dated 1825 to 1832. Some time near 1840 he migrated, with most (or all) of his family to Taney County, Missouri, but was not included in the 1860 Census of that county. The date of his death is not known definitely. One Samuel Sage's name appeared in the Grayson County, Va. Death Register, as having died on Feb. 20, 1864, of dropsy. However, his age was copied as 60, but could have been misinterpreted (as was that of his younger brother, James). His wife, Charity, had died during the early 1850's, and it is possible that he may have returned to his native Vir­ ginia to spend his last days. If so, he would have been 82 years old in February, 1864. The only insight to the personal life of Samuel Sage was revealed in a description given in a letter from his younger brother, Charles Sage, to their mother in Grayson County, Vir­ g1ma. Charles gave a vivid description of Samuel's deep emotional reaction when it became necessary for him to identify his long-lost sister, Caty, in the Wyandotte Nation, only to learn that he could not converse with her in their native language. She had forgotten how to speak English. Samuel's post office address in Taney County was Forsythe, Missouri. The children of Samuel and Charity Sage were:

1. John D. Sage - b. Jan. 13, 1805, Grayson Co., Va.; d. Oct. 18, (or 13), 1882; m. (1) Sarah Thrash, (2) Polly Ann

59 (Roode) Laughlin; (3) Nancy (Strickland) Monday. (Some descendants discredit the first marriage to Sarah Thrash. Others insist that her name was "Thrasher", or "Thresher". However, there is as much proof, as there is lack of it. So we include all three possible marriages. No. 2, Polly Laughlin was b. April 15, 1807; d. May 3, 1854. She m. John D. Sage on Nov. 13, 1828. He m. Nancy (Strickland) Monday on July 15, 1854. She was b. in 1817; d. May 6, 1866. She had been m. previously, (1) to James Scott, (2) to Edward Monday; and after the death of John D. Sage, she m. a fourth time, Thomas Kinkaid. The children of John D. Sage are listed below. It is sup­ posed that the first four were of the first marriage: 1. Cynthia Ann Sage - b. Aug. 12, 1830; d. Oct. 20, 1833. 2. Joel Walker Sage - b. Feb. 3, 1833 ; d. Sept. 17, 1859 ; m. Sarah Hall (Jan. 21, 1855). 3. Eli McCeldon Sage - b. July 14, 1835; d. Nov. 8, 1895; m. Mary Elizabeth Iceanburg ( ?) 1856. 4. Angelina Sage - b. Nov. 6, 1837; d. Nov. 11, 1855. Buried_ in Burns Cemetery, Sec. 32, Twp. 50; R32W. ( Of second marriage) 5. (Rev.) William J. Sage - b. May 26, 1844; d. March 15, 1903; m. (1) Emma Norton, (2) Lucinda Ann Sheridan. 6. Rhoda Sage - b. Sept. 7, 1849; m. (1) Edwin Harvey Car­ ter; (2) John Leonard Carter. (Of third marriage) 7. Gordon F. Sage - b. April 19, 1855, at Walnut Grove, Mo.; m. his cousin, Elizabeth Ann Sage, dau. of his uncle, Gordon Sage. In the Census of Miami Co., we find John D. Sage and his last wife listed in 1880, as follows along with birthplaces: John D. Sage, 75, Farmer, Va., Father - Va., Mother - Ky.; Nancy Sage, 61, Mo.; Delilah Scott, 11, gr. dau., Mo., Father - Mo., Mother - Mo.; James Scott, 6, gr. son, Mo., Father - Mo., Mother - Mo.

tiO John D. Sage was buried at West Point Cemetery, Merwin, Mo. From records of the National Archives, (Washington, D. C.), John D. Sage was a private in the Wayne City, Mo. Citizens' Guards in 1863-1864. He is said to have had a boat burned on the Missouri River by Rebels. His occupation was given as a mail contractor, and it appears that he used the boat to transport mail across the Missouri. He was a member of the West Fork Baptist Church, Raytown, Mo. in 1869. Nancy was given a letter of transfer on December 7, 1877, probably when they moved to Miami County.

Joel Wa]ker Sage 1-1-1-2 Joel Walker Sage, the second child of John D. Sage, m. 'Sara!-. Hall in 1855. They had two children, but Joel Walker died at the age of 26, leaving Sarah ,vith the two children: 1. Jo Anne Sage - b. 1856; m. (1) John Maxwell, (2) Joe Mulder. 2. John Hugh Sage ("McGaverty") - b. Jan. 4, 1859; m. Ella Nora Harris, b. Sept. 1, 1863. (Sarah later married Peter Baker, (1865). She was a member of New Salem Church, Mo.)

In 1850 Morgan and Caroline were living in Greene Co., Mo. At that time they had the following children: 1. John Sage - b. about 1831 in Tenn.; (m. Mary Ann Hart, Jan. 8, 1852, Greene Co., Mo.) 2. Samuel Sage - b. about 1836, in Tenn.; (m. Sarah Hart, Feb. 23, 1860, Greene Co., Mo.) 3. Elizabeth Sage - b. about 1839 in Tenn. No further record. 4. Celina Sage - b. about 1841 in Arkansas. ( Of whom here­ after.) 5. Eleanor Sage - b. about 1844 in Mo. 6. William Y. (or T.) Sage - b. about 1848 in Mo. (Of whom hereafter.) Morgan Sage appears to have died before 1860, since we find in the 1860 Census of Greene Co., Mo., that Caroline, 50, was head of the house, and a "farmer". Listed in the family were: Nancy, (who may have been the same as Eleanor in the 1850 Census), William, Mary, 3, and James, an infant. (The last two were evidently grandchildren.)

John (M.) Sage 1-1-2-1 John Sage was evidently the John M. Sage, who m. Mary Ann Hart in Greene Go., Mo. in 1852. In the 1860 Censu.3 of

119 Greene Co., Mo. he was listed as an ox-driver, and was 29 years of age, while Mary was 25. Both were horn in Tenn. Known children: 1. Louis B. Sage - b. about 1853, Mo.; m. Palestine Best, Nov. 25, 1877, Greene Co., Mo. 2. James Sage - b. about 1855, Mo. 3. Thomas Sage - b. about 1857, Mo. 4. John Sage - b. about 1859, Mo. (There were probably others born after 1860.)

Samuel Sage I-1-2-2 Samuel Sage, son of Morgan and Caroline, - m. Sarah Hart, Feb. 23, 1860, in Greene Co., Mo. (One Samuel Sage m. Mrs. Frances Terry in Greene Co., l\'Io. on May 5, 1890. Whether this was Samuel, above, or a cousin, it was likely a second marriage.) Known children of Samuel and. Sarah were : 1. Charles T. Sage - m. Sarah Kilgore, July 21, 1876, Greene Co., Mo. "Married at home of Samuel Sage; wit. Samuel and Louis Sage." 2. Louis J. Sage m. Eliza Wilkerson, Apr. 1, 1886. "Samuel Sage, father, has given consent.") 3. Laura Sage - m. George Laws, Sept. 25, 1889, Greene Co., Mo. ("Samuel Sage, father, has given his assent.") (There were probably other children that may later be proven.)

Celina- Sage · 1-1-2-4 According to the 1860 Census of Greene County, Celina was b. about 1840 in Arkansas. It is possible that the "Celia" Sage who m. William D. Anderson in Jackson Co., Mo., was Celina,

120 even though her age was copied from the 1860 Census as 27 (instead of 21), and her birthplace was given as Tennessee (instead of Arkansas). As she was the only one of the family born in Arkansas, it would have been easy for another member of the family to have forgotten her birthplace. There were two Anderson children in the home - Thomas -7, and Elizabeth -4, who were doubtless step-children. Also there were two Sage children in the home - Joseph ,7, and Mary, 4, who have been identified by family genealogists as: Joseph (Meridith) and Mary Sage, children of Gordon Sage, a brother of Celina's father, Morgan Sage. We have no record of Celina's family, or whether she had any children.

William (Y.) (or T.) Sage 1-1-2-6 William Sage, son of Morgan, was b. about 1848, in Mo. He is thought to have been the William Sage who m. Lucy Haslip in Greene Co., Mo. in 1872. We have no further record of him or his family. * * * * * * Samuel Sage 1-1-5 Samuel Sage, son of the elder Samuel, was b. about 1823, in Ky. He was apparently living alone in Taney Co., Mo. in 1860. His record is incomplete. * * * * * Patsy Sage (Hall) 1-1-6 The only lead we have as to the family of Patsy Sage Hall, daughter of Samuel and Charity Sage, is found in the 1860 census of Jackson Co., Mo. (There is no proof, and our possible solution is only a conjecture.) The age, birthplace, names of neighbors, and the fact that the name "Martha" is sometimes called "Patsy", lend a degree of support to the probability that the Hall family listed below might have been that of Patsy

121 (Sage) Hall, the only known daughter of Samuel Sage, the elder, of Taney Co., Mo. (See supplement on Samuel Sage family).

* * * * * * Gordon Fleming Sage 1-1-7 Gordon Fleming Sage, the youngest child of Samuel and Charity Sage, was living in Jackson Co., Mo. in 1850, when Charles Comer Sage, (his uncle), wrote to his family in Vir­ ginia: "Gordon broke his thigh and is a cripple." He m. (1) Mary ______? (2) Sally Ann Williamson, Dec. 23, 1852, Greene Co., Mo. He d. March 24, 1855, of a knee injury, sus­ tained while using an axe. The 1850 census of Jackson Co., Mo. list his family thus: No. 631 - Gordon Sage, age 30, b. Tenn.; Mary Sage, age 27, b. Tenn.; Charity Sage, age 6, b. Mo. They were living in the home of C. H. Litsinger. Since Gordon was a cripple, and Mary ill, they were probably with relatives. Charles Sage wrote in May, 1851 : "Gordon Sage's wife died last fall, ( 1850). She left two small children." ( The second child, Elizabeth Ann Sage,_ was b. March 22, 1850, but is not recorded in the census of that year.) The children of Gordon and Mary were: l. Charity Sage - b. July 5, 1845; d. Jan. 27, 1919; m. Allen Martin Chappell.

122 2. Elizabeth Ann Sage - b. March 22, 1850; d. Jan. 19, 1919; m. her cousin, Gordon F. Sage, a son of John D. and Nancy (Stricklin), (Monday), Sage. (See record of Gordon F. Sage.)

Elizabeth Ann Sage 1-1-7-2 Elizabeth Ann Sage, ( dau. of Gordon and Mary), m. her cousin, Gordon Sage, ( a son of John D. Sage). Their family record appears among those of John D. Sage's children.

(Joseph) Meredith Sage 1-1-7-3 Little is known of Joseph Meredith Sage. According to Mrs. Sterling Parker, Meredith was a breeder and trader of horses, who often traveled for his wife's health. (Her first name was thought to have been Mary.) They had two daugh­ ters: 1. Bertha, ( or Bessie) Sage. 2. Jessie, (or Vesta) Sage.

Mrs. Parker has located records of a tract of land that Was once owned by this family in Fannin County, Texas, near Bonham. Since the male heir in this case, had died, the widow, unaccustomed to handling financial affairs, entrusted the management of the estate to a "friend" of the family, who, without her knowledge, paid the taxes in his own name, and thus cheated the Sage heirs out of their rightful property. (A family tradition).

125 Perhaps readers will later be able to supply further infor­ mation on these families, for future generations. The preceding records on the descendants of Samuel Sage have been largely collected by Mrs. Marguerite (Sage) Parker, (Mrs. Sterling Parker), and Mrs. Sybil Daw~on Scofield. Census and other records have been provided by Mr. P. J.E. Gwin-Sage, of Portland, Ore. Miss Nanon Carr, of Kansas City, Mo., was also helpful in coyping census and marriage records, and other historical data of that area. We are grateful to all who shared in this re­ search. - Ed. * Mrs. Sterling Parker's Supplement on the Descendants of Samuel Sage, (1-1) Samuel Sage's daughter, Patsy Sage, may have been listed as "P. Sage" in the 1850 Census of Taney County, Mo., as living in the home of a Chenowith family. (This is possible, but would have been before her marriage to Mr. Hall. - Ed.)

Ac~ording to one report, John D. Sage, son of Samuel, d. Oct. rn, 1882; is buried at West Point Cemetery, Merwin, Mo. ( or Adrian, Mo.) . Hem. (1) Sarah Thrash (Thrasher, or Thresher). lt has been said that they had two daughters, who after her death, were taken to Texas to live with their grandfather, Rev. Buck­ ley. John D. Sage's second wife, who was a widow, named Polly Ann (Roode) Laughlin, had 2 children: Rhoda, and William J. Sage. (records shown on preceding pages - Ed,) John D. Sage's third wife, Nanci Stricklin, had previously m.: (1) _____ Scott, (2) She also m. Samuel Monday ( or Mundy), prior to her marriage to John D. Sage. Later she m. _____ Kinkade, after his death. One of her daughters was killed by an ox.

126 Otis Meridith Sage had only a fourth grade education, since he was the oldest child, and was needed to help his father at home; but, "schooling or not, he could figure with the best of them". His occupations were: farmer, cattleman, real estate and livestock dealer. He was also a deputy sheriff for Greenwood County, but served where he was, and not out of the county seat. He owned a livery stable, a house in town, hauled mail from the depot to the post office, and once drove a hearse. At another time he owned a drug store, pool hall, and garage. He traded for a herd of wild horses in Colorado, and got the pool hall somehow in the deal. He started a rodeo, and a business of breaking in horses to ride. He had the first Ford car in the area. Otis lost an eye while building a cow shed of native timber. A nail struck him in the eye. Soon afterward he had other misfortunes when he lost his livestock through poisoning by some vicious person. Two of his children died that summer in epidemics that plagued the family. He was a most charitable man. He helped nurse the sick, frepare the dead for burial, and no stranger ever left his house hungry. * James Sage II 1-3 James Sage, the third child of James Sage, the Revoluntion­ ary soldier, and Lovis (Ott) Sage, was b. June 17, 1784, in Montgomery Co., Va. In 1809 he m. Catherine ("Caty") Can­ noy, in Grayson Co., Va. James purchased a tract of land in Lee Co., Va. in 1817. but sold it in 1819, and was back in Grayson Co., Va. in 1820. From his service record for the War of 1812 we find that he lived in Ashe Co., N. C. prior to the time he lived in Lee Co., Va. However, he was living in Grayson County at the time of the 1850 Census, and he d. there in 1869, on April 21, at the age of 87. (Catherine d. on May 1, 1869.) In the 1850 Census his household then included three of his children, ( one of which

127 was probably a married son), and 3 grandchildren; also a daughter-in-law. We feel sure that we have not "rounded up" all their children, unless some were deceased. Some were probably married and remained in North Carolina. In case of daughters, some may have lost their identity through marriage, and change of names. Below are records of the children, as far as we know: 1. Jonathan Sage - b. 1815-1820; m. Rosamond Hale, Feb. 3, 1842. 2. Delilah Sage - b. ca. 1819; m. Lewis Haga, in 1841, Ashe Co., N. C. 3.

In 1850 they were living in the home of James and Catherine Sage, his parents. Matilda was b. ca. 1828. They had the following children in 1850: 1. Louis P. Sage - b. 1846. 2. Rosamond Sage - b. 1848. 3. Riley W. Sage - b. 1849. (We have no further record of their children, who may have not remained in Grayson County.)

Mary (Polly) Sage (Hall) 1-4 Mary ("Polly") Sage, the fourth child of James Sage, ( 1) , was b. in Montgomery Co., Va., (in what is now Wythe County, Va.), on Cripple Creek, Dec. 4, 1785. Her marriage to John Hall is on record in Grayson Co., Va., on Oct. 30, 1804. She wias mentioned in the will of James Sage (in 1820) as Mary Hall, but did not appear to have been living in Grayson Co. in 1850. Over three years ago we contacted Mr. W. F. Hall, (Route No. 1, Box 65, Marion, Va., whose father, James M. Hall, was

141 born at Cedar Springs, Wythe Co., Va. in 187 4, and m. Mary Frances Fulton. Mr. W. F. Hall stated that the latter's memory was "short", but he had been told that the father of James M. Hall's father was Henry Hall, and that his grandfather, James Hall, was a son of John Hall and "Polly" Sage Hall. However, the elder Mr. Hall was unable to remember more than three of John's children's names, they were: 1. Lucy Hall 2. James (Jimmy) Hall 3. Elizabeth (Betty) Hall Two of these three names suggest a "Sage background", and there was likely a John Hall, Jr., since one John Hall m. Sally Bedwell in Grayson Co., Va. in the 1820's. We regret that we are unable to extend this line farther, but perhaps some­ one may read this who can at some time in the future, assemble the puzzle, and complete the family record. We owe Mr. W. F. Hall, of Marion, Va. our thanks for supplying these small clues to this lost branch of the family tree.

Catherine (Caty) Sage 1-5 Catherine ("Caty") Sage was b. in Montgomery Co., Va., Jan. 5, 1787*, and d. at Wyandotte, Kansas, Jan. 21, 1853, at the age of 66 years. At the age of five, Caty was abducted from the family vegetable garden on Elk Creek, in Grayson County, Va., presumably by a white man who had stolen her father's horses, and then been outwitted by a posse led by James Sage, who discovered the horses on White Top Mountain, and re­ covered them. Caty was first sold, or given, to a band of roving Cherokees, who later gave her to the Wyandottes as a good-will offering. During her fifty-odd years with the Wyandottes she learned

143 their language, and forgot her own. She had learned to read and write, and had accepted Christianity through the teachings of early Methodist missionaries to the Ohio Valley Indian tribes. The Wyandotte tribe had migrated to the Missouri-Kansas area in 1843. Caty, (or Sally, as she had been known in Wyandotte), had been married three times - (1) to a chief named Crane, (2) to another chief, Between-the-Logs, (3) to a chief known as Frost. Her only child, which was of the first marriage, had died in infancy. (See the biography of Between-the-Logs in "Allied Families") . Due to an eye disease that swept the Wyandotte settlement, Caty became blind during the early 1850's. Her brother, Charles, who had miraculously discovered her, was never able to fulfill his desire to have her accompany him to visit his home in Jackson Co., Mo., or to return to Virginia to visit her aged mother, Lovis, and sisters and brothers, many of whom she had never seen. She died of pneumonia on Jan. 21, 1853, and was buried at the "Church of the Old Methodist", (Quindaro Cemetery), near Kansas City, Mo. Her grave was beside that of the wife of James Whitten, a former Lee County, Va. circuit rider. *In James Sage's old diary he had written Caty's date of birth as : Jan. 5, 1786, but this was undoubtedly an error on his part, since her older sister, Mary, was born only a month earlier, in 1785. She was not a twin, and was said to have been five years old when abducted. (For further details on the mysterious life of Caty Sage, see RED TRAILS AND WHITE, a book written by Bonnie Ball (1955). Sources of the foregoing chapter: The letters of Charles Comer Sage, Independence, Mo.; the notebook of James Sage; Wilburn Waters' story, ''The Lost Girl of Grayson", in his "History of Southwest Virginia"; "Historic Spots in Wyandotte", by Grant Harrington; the story as nar­ rated by Mrs. Sarah Comer, (once a daughter-in-law of Caty's youngest sister, Elizabeth). * *

144 Lovis Sage (Rouhoff) 1-6 Lovis Sage, the sixth child of James Sage, was b. March 1, 1788, in Montgomery Co., Va. She was married in Grayson Co., Va. to Peter Rouhoff (also spelled "Rauhof", "Rauhuff", etc.). They were m. either on May 20 or May 28, 1811 (or 1812). (The confusion here is due to the fact that two marriage dates for this couple are recorded in the Grayson County Marriage Register. It is probable that one was a "Civil ceremony", and the following year a religious rite of marriage was desired. The name is pronounced by Grayson County, Va. relatives as "Rti-h6f".) Lovis and Peter Rouhoff were living in Grayson County in 1819, when Lovis' father mentioned her in his notebook. The births of three Rouhoff children are also recorded in the old notebook, but the third is faded and illegible. There may have been others, but the absence of their names in the 1820 census of Grayson Co., Va. indicates that they moved elsewhere around 1820. Their known children were: 1. Samuel Rouhoff - b. Apr. 3, 1812, Grayson, Co., Va. 2. Sampson Rouhoff - b. Apr. 3, 1812, (twin).

3. ( ?) Rouhoff - b. Jan. 19, 1815. (There was a Sampson "Rauhooft" listed as the head of a family in the 1830 census of Sevier Co., Tenn., which also listed Samuel and Morgan Sage. Sampson Rouhoff, above, would have been only 18 years of age in 1830. However, it is possible that he married at that age, or lived with a widowed mother, and managed the farm.) A few years ago we had a slight clue to the possibility of descendants of these Rouhoff twins in the area of Chicago, Jllinois, but the contact was lost through illness, surgery, and possible death of the two men who knew the answers. One of these had referred to two "Rauhof" brothers named "Saul and Sampson", but it would not have been difficult to confuse "Sam'l" with "Saul". For further details on the Rouhoff

Marriage Records; 1830 census of Sevier Co., Tenn.) * * * * * * Sampson Sage 1-8 Sampson Sage, the eighth child of James and Lovis Sage, was b. Feb. 11, 1792, in Grayson County, Va.; d. March 25, 1872, Lee Co., Va.; m. Lydia Fletcher, Nov. 28, U~16, Lee Co., Va. She was o. Feb. 3, 1798, Montgomery Co., Va. (later Giles Co.); d. May 1, 1872. Sampson Sage served in the War of 1812. Lydia was a daughter of Aaron Fletcher and Elizabeth (Milam) (Davis) Fletcher, who were married in Montgomery Co., Va. in 1797. Sampson Sage purchased a farm on the foothills of Powell Mountam, near Wallen's Creek, at Stickleyville, in Lee Co., Va. Adjoining his farm lay that of Claiborne Young, whose grand­ daughter married Sampson Sage's grandson more than two decades after his death. Lydia became widely known as a midwife, and traveled miles to perform services. According to one informant, she ushered his uncle into the world for a fee of fifty cents. For many years following her death a legend persisted that Lydia saved her coins, and hid them away in a small pottery container. It continued that she concealed the money crock in a secret place about the farm during the perilous days of the Civil War, and did so for some years afterward. It was even rumored that the "money pot" was still in hiding at the time "Granny Sage" died, and was never recovered. Some of her grandsons believed this story, and spent fruitless hours search­ ing for the "hidden treasure". Sampson and Lydia were buried at the Fannon Cemetery just west of Stickleyville, which is sometimes called the Fletcher Cemetery. They had four sons: 1. John Davis Sage - b. Dec. 28, 1818, Lee Co., Va.; d. July 11, 1862. (See story of John Davis Sage's capture and slay­ ing); m. Sarah Minerva Lloyd , Sept. 7, 1843.

John Davis Sage 1-8-1 John Davis Sage, the oldest child of Sampson and Lydia, was born at Stickleyville, Lee Co., Va., Dec. 28, 1818; d. July 11, 1862. He m. Sarah Minerva Lloyd, a dau. of Absalom Lloyd, a pioneer Lee Co. settler, and Mary (Luck) Lloyd, on Sept. 7, 1843. They lived on a farm overlooking Powell River, near the present site of Woodway. During the summer of 1862, a "gorilla" warfare raged in the Cumberlands of Virginia. A southern renegade leader known as "Witcher", and his company preyed upon those citizens of Southwestern Virginia and surrounding areas who were opposed to secession, and in sympathy with the Union. One of them was John Davis Sage, who was captured by Witcher's band while going to a grist mill near Powell River. He was taken, with a number of others, to a log church called Blue Springs Church, at Stickleyville. Here, only a few hundred yards from Sage's birthplace the group was imprisoned for the night. Their captors barricaded all windows and the single door, then built a campfire under the large oak trees in the church­ yard. Today a deep depression may be seen in one of those trees. It lives and thrives even though a small person can stand

147 inside the hole burned at the base of the trunk - a gnm reminder of the tragedy which followed that suffocating night on the bank of Wallen's Creek. It happened that two of the prisoners were smaller than the rest. They discovered that, by lifting a loose puncheon in the floor, they could squeeze themselves through the opening and crawl from under the floor, into the deep shadows of sur­ rounding willow and sycamore saplings at the rear of the old church. The two were missed when time came for the morning round-up. Their captors were infuriated by the escape. The remaining prisoners were taken eastward under heavy guard, and were brutally slain, one by one. Southeast of Stickleyville, on the south side of Powell Mountain, near a spring, John Davis Sage was decapitated. As soon as friends and relatives dared, they recovered his body, which was identified by his under­ clothes that Sarah had improvised of bed ticking. He was buried in the Duff Cemetery at Stickleyville. His box-like tomb bears the story of his slaying. It was carved of native limestone by M'Nelius V. Glass, a stone mason and union soldier, whose daughter, Martha, married a nephew of John Davis Sage eleven years later.

167 James ("Doc") Sage 1-8-2 James W. Sage ("Doc"), was the second child of Sampson and Lydia (Fletcher) Sage. He was b. at Stickleyville, Lee County, Va., on June 28, 1820. He was known as "Doc" Sage because of his successful usage of herb remedies. The only marriage record known was on Dec. 30, 1860, when he m. Rebecca Hammond. However, old-timers sometimes referred to "Doc" Sage's estranged wife as "Lettie". The only child of James and Rebecca was : 1. Harvey Sage - b. in 1862, Lee County, Va.; m. Clementine West; d. Feb. 18, 1944. (After the separation, and possible divorce, of James Sage and "Lettie", there were three other children who bore her name of Sage: (1) Isaac Harrison, (2) John, (3) Mary).

Harvey was a unique man in many respects. The most remarkable thing about him was his keen memory. He never forgot dates or events. Having grown up somewhat as an orphan, he reached manhood without having learned to read. His desire to read became so intense that he asked the wife of a cousin to teach him to read in the Bible. Not only did he learn to read the Bible, but he could quote practically the entire book from memory. He was a boisterous conversationalist, enjoyed jokes and old tales, but also possessed a violent temper when involved in a disagreement. For many years he lived alone, after the death of his,,wife, who was blind for some years. He was drowned in a flooded stream on Feb. 18, 1944, near Pattonsville, Scott Co., Va. With him ended the direct line of "Doc" Sage. * * * * * *

She was a daughter of Bryant and Abigail (Munsey) Fannon, of Giles (later Bland) County, Va. Her paternal grandfather was Jessee Fannon, and her mother, Abigail Mun­ sey was said to have been a close relative of Dr. William Elbert Munsey, the noted "pulpit orator", and a descendant of Samuel Munsey (Monsier), the immigrant to Kent Co., Delaware, and the cie Monsier family of France. William Winfield Sage was the third child of Sampson Sage ( 1792-1872) of Grayson Co., Va. He served as sheriff of Lee County, Va. during the 1860's. Quite a versatile man, he worked with farms, timber, and trading, having accumulated con­ siderable property, but his generosity and tendency to "secure" his neighbors' loans, etc., reduced his holdings in later years. He carried on extensive correspondence with friends and relatives. It is to his prolific pen that we are now indebted for the many names and dates recorded in his large notebook, which is still in possession of his son, Sampson Sage's family. Billy again demonstrated his versatility when he was licensed to preach as a lay Methodist minister in Lee Co., Va. in 1878. He remarried at the age of seventy-one.

182 "Harrison". He was b. Oct. 20, 1851; m. Martha (Mattie) Ellen Glass, (a dau. of M'Nelius and Elizabeth (Rasnic) Glass, in Feb., 1873. Harrison died 9 years later - just ten day~ before the birth of their youngest son. Their children were: 1. George Vastine Sage ("Vas") - b. Dec. 12, 1873, Lee Co., Va.; d. July 3, 1954; m. Mary ("Mollie") E. Duncan, Oct. 2, 1895. 2. Mary Almeda Sage - b. March 8, 1876; d. in infancy. 3. Charles W. Sage - b. March 24, 1878; d. Aug. 18, 1929, Lee Co., Va.; m. Ephia Cody, 1906. 4. Henry Harrison Sage - b. April 17, 1882, Lee Co., Va.; d. Aug. 6, 1940, Blackwater, Va.; m. Dora Belle Horton about 1905. (Martha Ellen (Glass) Sage married a second time to Jesse Anderson. For a list of their children see "The Glass Family".)

(George) Vastine ("Vas") Sage Vastine Sage grew up on Blackwater Creek, Lee Co., Va. His mother remarried late in 1883. Her second husband, Jesse Anderson, brought 3 sons and a daughter to live at the big two­ story (frame) house on West Blackwater. In the course of a few years three more sons and a daughter \Vere added to the family. Those were lively years with "his" children, "her" children, and "their" children, and three sets of boys. However, Vas decided to "clear out" at an early age and try it on his own. His uncle, Wesley Glass, took him under his wing, and taught him the ropes in trading and raising live stock, having given him his first horse, "Old Joe", which Mollie rode to their wedding, and their children rode until he was quite old. During boyhood Vas had acquired a strong yen for ad­ venture. His favorite hobbies were guns, hunting, and fishing. While still a lad he lost the sight of one eye in an accident with

183 2.n exploding pistol cap. This did not lessen his enthusiasm for weapons, for, at the age of seventy-five he was a "dead shot" with a revolver. In 1914 he went into a sawmill and timber business. In order to cut down expenses, he and his oldest son conveyed wagon loads of lumber to the nearest railroad station. Again he met with an accident. A heavy load of lumber overturned and broke his hip. Like the Glass family, he acquired a middle­ age obesity. He traveled on crutches for some weeks, then a cane. He had a cantering sorrel mare he called "Dinah". It was not long before he was rambling over the hills and valleys as he had done in former years, to scout for good cattle for the market and sheep for his mountain land.. During his thirties he had experienced adventures as an officer of the law, a trustee of Old Bluespring Church, a Sunday School teacher, supervisor of a rural telephone line, and a participant in community programs and amusements. Now, following his latest accident, he settled down to the life of a "country squire", serving as Justice of Peace, recorder of Vital Statistics, an authority on legal matters, an auctioneer at public sales. He was an ardent "Prohibitionist", and perhaps most of all, a Republican. Vas Sage's adventure stories, which- if recorded, would fill a small volume, including trips down the Blackwater, the Clinch River, and the Tennessee, on log rafts; the account of how he happened to take a preacher to jail for disturbing public worship, and those railway trips to Cincinnati with train-car loads of cattle. Although he arrested criminals, served warrants, and tried cases, always with a gun handy, he never shot at a man, and was never shot at, himself. He always carried a fountain pen and wrote business, legal, political, and personal letters. He spelled "by ear", but wrote a smooth, neat script, seldom seen in his generation. Another passion of his was for farm machinery. He learned to drive an automobile in his fifties, but less efficiently than the job of driving horses. He liked to repair and operate machines that he could ride, like disc harrows and hayrakes. At the age of seventy-eight he sustained a blow on the head while

184 repairing a mowing machine, which may have caused an injury that led to total loss of vision soon afterward, and possibly to sudden death in 1954. He is buried in the Duff Cemetery at Stickleyville. Mollie survived him by over ten years. She died on Sept. 1, 1964, at Holston Valley Clinic Hospital, Kingsport, Tenn. She is buried with him, at the Duff place at Stickley­ ville. She was a rare specimen of Christian motherhood, and an "angel of mercy" among the poor and the sick of her com­ munity. They reared ten children, and lost three during child­ hood: l. Garrett Millard Sage - b. Sept. 14, 1898, Blackwater, Lee Co., Va.; m. Wanda Pataline Fannon, Oct. 16, 1937; d. March 18, 1965. 2.

243 Mrs. J. Clifton Horner, who lived at 611 Goodson St., Bris­ tol, Va. in 1936, is a descendant of Esther (Sage) Cooper, but her parentage is not m our records. * * * * Sources of the above information on the descendants of Esther (Sage) Couper, and her husband, John Cooper are: James Sage's notebook; Campbell Co., Tenn. Census reports; Mrs. Ada Cooper Carmichael, Knox­ ville, Tenn.; data of Mrs. Marguerite Sage Parker - Vancouver, Wash.; records of Mrs. Lela Sage Dawson, and Mrs. Sybil Dawson Scofield - California; Mrs. Clara (Mitchell) McConnell - Abingdon, Va.; D.A.R. Records.

* * * * * Anna (Ann) Sage (Nelson) I-10 Anna Sage, the tenth child of James Sage and Lovis (Ott) Sage, was b. Oct. 26, 1795, in Grayson Co., Va. She m. James Nelson, but the date and place of their marriage is unknown. Anna died sometime after 1853, and is buried on Fox Greek, Grayson County, Va. Even though we have contacted Nelsons of Washington and Smyth Counties in Virginia, and LaFollett and Mountain City, Tenn., and other areas of the United States, we have been unable to establish proof of any living descendants of Ann and James Nelson. The Grayson County, Virginia Census of Gray­ son County, Va., listed the following children: 1. Seth Nelson - b. about 1829. 2. Ann Nelson - b. about 1831. 3. William H. Nelson - b. 1832. 4. James W. Nelson - b. about 1834. 5. Martin M. Nelson - b. about 1837. 6. Daniel Nelson - b. about 1841. We feel sure that there were older children. Allen Nelson who m. Eliza Vaught in Grayson Go., Va. 'in 1834, may have been their son.

244 There were Nelsons in Anderson, Campbell, and Union Counties, Tenn., who had the same given names as those of this family, but no proof of relationship has been found to date. As an example, one correspondent stated that "Jimmy and Daniel Nelson were Confederate soldiers, and lived in Union County, Tenn. Daniel was never married." There was also a Martin Nelson living in East Tennessee at that time, but his family migrated from Richmond, Va. This was the family of the Rev. James A. Nelson, of Carey­ ville, Tennessee. Mr. James R. Nelson of LaF'ollett, Tenn., a postal employee, was descended from a Lindsay Nelson, b. in 1839, but again, we were unable to connect him with James and Anna. We can only hope that through this brief chapter, at least some of their descendants may be located, and added to future genealo­ gical records of the family.

Sources of data in this chapter: James Sage's notebook; Grayson 'Co., Va. Census Reports; Mr. and Mrs. James R. Nelson - LaFollett, Tenn.; Mr. King Nelson - Mountain City, Tenn.; Mr. Walter Nelson - Saltville, Va.; Rev. James A. Nelson - Bossevain, Va.

Charles Comer Sage 1-11 Charles Comer Sage, the eleventh child of James and Lovis Sage, was born July 11, 1797, in Grayson County, Va. He died on Dec. 3, 1879* He m. Elizabeth Bryant about 1816, place unknown. She was b. Dec. 22, 1795, supposedly in Grayson County, Va., and d. Feb. 1, 1844 in Jackson Co., Mo. Charles Sage apparently spent some time in Lee County, Va. near his older brothers, James and· Sampson, prior to 1820, but was in Whitley Co., Ky. at the time of the 1820 Census there. In 1832 he was again in Lee County, Va., as Rhown by land records there.

245 About 1840 he moved to Jackson County, Missouri, near Independence, where he was living eight years later, when he miraculously located his sister, Caty, who had been abducted from their home in Grayson County, Va. in 1792, (before Charles was born), and had lived with the Cherokee Indians for some years. Later she lived with the Wyandotte tribe that migrated to land near Kansas City, in 1840. Following the discovery of his long lost sister, Charles wrote ten interesting letters to his aged mother, Lovis, in Vir­ ginia, nine of which are still in existence. (For the complete story see RED TRAILS AND WHITE, by Bonnie Ball, and photos in this volume). (*Charles Sage lived to be eighty-two. He spent his last years with John W. Sage, his oldest grandson, and his son, William, at Miami County, Kansas, where he died in 1879.) The children of Charles Comer Sage and Elizabeth (Bryant) Sage were: 1. Margaret (Pegga) Sage - b. Jan. 13, 1917 in Va.; m. (1) Isaac Guin ((Gwin), (2) Enoch B. Reed. 2. Charity Sage (twin of Margaret) ; d. at birth. 3. James B. Sage - b. Oct. 26, 1818; m. (1) Lavinia M.

Margaret (Pegga) Sage (Gwin) (Reed) 1-11-1 Margaret (Pegga) Sage, the oldest child of Charles and Elizabeth, was born in Virginia, (possibly Lee County), Jan. 13, 1817. She m. (1) Isaac Guin (Gwin), a son of William

247 and ___ (Daugherty) Guin; (2) Enoch B. Reed, of Bates Co., Mo., on June 19, 1844, in Jackson County, Mo. According to the records of Mrs. Azalia Badgley, of Wash­ ington, D. C., "Margaret Sage Guinn came with a colony of forty (families or persons) from Virginia, and settled in Jack­ son County, Mo. in the fall of 1840." The family moved to Cass Co., Mo. in 1846, and was still there at the time the 1850 Census was taken. In 1856 they moved to Linn Co., Kansas. The above dates and other information were obtained from an old diary and daybook kept by Charles Comer Sage, Mar-­ garet's father. The books were given to Charles' daughter, Lydia Sage Massey. After her death in 1911 her daughter, Allenia M. Nichols, owned them. Later she gave them to John Massey, son of Catherine (Sage) and Isaac Massey. John gave the books to his son, Guy W. Massey, who had them in his possession in Nov., 1936. The dates of the migration of the family were copied from an obituary of Lydia F. (Sage) Massey, which was also in possession of Guy Massey. The children of Isaac Guin (Gwin) and Margaret were: 1. John Wesley Guin, (later known as John W. Sage), b. May 27, 1837, Lee Co., Va.; d. Nov. 21, 1913, Bates Go., Mo.; m. Sarah Elizabeth Smith March 31, 1859, Jackson Co., Mo. 2. William Washington Guin - b. June 16, 1840, Lee Co., Va.; m. Lucy Ann Green June 19, 1870. (D.A.R. Bible Records.) 3. Elihu ( or Hugh) Guin - b. Oct. 20, 1842, m. Cinderella Stevenson Jameson, July 25, 1869; d. Dec. 5, 1899. The children of Margaret (Sage) and her second husband, Enoch B. Reed, were: 4. Thomas Taylor Reed - b. Feb. 28, 1847 or 1848. 5. Enoch Reed II - b. July 13, 1850. 6. George Washington Reed - b. Aug. 8, 1855; d. Aug. 10, 1914. 7. Martha Louise Reed - b. Jan. 10, 1858; d. Sept, 19, 1861.

248 John Wesley Guin (Gwin) (Sage) 1-11-1-1 John Wesley Guin (Gwin), the oldest child of Margaret and Isaac Guin, was later known as John W. Sage because he was reared by his grandfather, Charles Sage, after the death of his father. He m. Sarah Elizabeth Smith. He was b. in Lee Co., Va. May 27, 1837. They were m. on March 31, 1859, Jackson Co., Mo. John W. Sage served in Co. A, Wayne City, Mo. Militia in infantry, in Capt. Smith's Company; Jackson Co. Volunteer Cavalry. He applied for a pension for this service, but his claim was rejected March 4, 1919, because the units in which he served were not mustered into the United States Service, or shown by reports of the War Department. Sarah E. Sage, his widow, lived at 404 N. 6th St., Walla Walla, Wash., in August, 1920. In 1902 John W. Sage changed his address from Merwin, Bates Co., Mo., to Haines, Baker Co., Oregon. In 1913 Sarah described John W. Sage as: five ft., 11 in. tall, gray eyes, dark hair, light complexion, a farmer, b. in Lee Co., Va. He enlisted at Mission Creek, Kan., in Kansas State Militia in Indian War; 28 years old, resided after service at Inde­ pendence, Mo., 1863, for 5 yrs.; at Linn Co., Kan. 35 years; Haines, Oregon 8 years; Bates Co., Mo. 57 year. He d. at Adrian, Mo. Nov. 21, 1913. John Wesley Sage (Guin) was an ordained minister, and served at one time as pastor of Mill· Greek Baptist Church, which later united with Salem Church (when the church dis­ solved). In "Reminiscences of the life of Rev. John W. Sage," com­ piled by William Jewell Sage, in December, 1914, we find the following lines in the foreword: "Being converted in the early '60's, he was a faithful and devoted worker in his master's vineyard, the greater part of his work being among weak churches, where little salary was received, and while raising his family, laboring early and late

249 on the farm for their support, he rode horse back long dis­ tances through storms and icy cold to meet his appointments. He counted his friends by the number who knew him." "At the funeral service of Rev. Sage, on Nov. 26, 1913, the Rev. R. L. Wood, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Amsterdam, Mo., read the following text from Numbers 23 : 10: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end he like His."

250 The above booklet contained 26 pages. Included in them ,vere: adventures of John W. Sage on the western frontier; loading freight at Westport Landing (Kansas City), at the age of 17; a trip across the plains to Santa Fe in 1856; an expedition to Fort Bridger, Utah in 1857, in which he ac­ companied a supply train for Gen. A. S. Johnson's army, and a hazardous trip back to Fort Leavenworth, when the party ran out of food and ate a mule; their capture on the Platte River by thirty Sioux Indians, after which their release was secured by a Frenchman, an old friend, who was an interpreter. In 1858 he helped buy cattle to take to Gen. Johnson'R army, and then went to Santa Fe with stage coach mail, in which he gave this description: "The average day's journey was forty-five miles. At night we slept on the ground. The passengers we carried boarded with us. When there were ladies in the number they were very curious about our cook­ ing methods, and the buffalo chips we used to build fires." John W. Sage was in Salt Lake City when Order Number eleven was issued in Missouri. Jackson County, Kansas City, and Independence were in a military district. All men were enrolled as Home Guard Militia. In 1865 they were enrolled in the State Militia, after returning to Independence to care for the wounded and bury the dead. In 1867 he became a minister. He was pastor of the New Salem Church for twenty years. Later he organized the Mill Creek Church in Jackson County. It grew from five to over 300 members in four years. His next church was at Louisburg, Kansas. He helped organize fifteen other churches, and held meetings in Kansas, Missouri, Washington, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Idaho, and Oregon.

MEMORIES OF BYGONE YEARS By Charles R. Roberts

We meditate in a haze of silence, thinking of bygone years, While we gaze upon a memorial that may bring about some tears, In memory of a little girl who played near a lonely spot While her mother placed a fire beneath the family laundry pot. The father and young brothers were in a nearby field of grain, Not knowing what had happened that would fill many hearts with pain. The waving corn was in velvet tassel, covered with morning's silver dew. That was many years ago, in the year seventeen and ninety two.

320 A little girl with pearl-blue eyes and a head of golden hair Was busy chasing butterflies that were flying here and there, Without a thought of danger in her pure and youthful mind She vanished out of sight-to where? A place her seekers failed to find. The hearts of all her loved ones were filled with sudden grief, But her disappearance finally settled on one lone revenging thief. The thoughts still live to the present time that he came madly riding by, , And took the little girl atop his mount like a falling meteor from the sky. A search was made by friends and kin that lasted many months and years; And the only thing that could be found was endless days of naught and tears. From the valleys low to the mountain tops, and everywhere the searchers went Without a clue or a faded track their hopes were finally bent. Then came a day in the mountain green, the father still with delving hope, At the end of a foot path trail, came to a cabin on a hillside slope. An eccentric old woman told him, "Your child is safe and is not dead." After many years in a western land it all came true, what Granny Moses said. That little girl who had then grown old, was found with people she called her own, ,vith her hair now gray, and fading eyes, and a memory blank, of a childhood home. She had lived her life on the red man's trails, and knew their language and their song, By faith and chance she was told the truth of what took place in years long gone. There is a book about that little girl, the title, "RED TRAILS AND WHITE".

321 Inside the covers are written facts that bring some dark events to light. Before these lines were put in verse, I read book, page after page, By Bonnie Ball, the author, who wrote of the mysterious life of Katy Sage. And as I finish these last four lines We still have mysteries in these modern times, Some in harmony, others in ill discord, But there are no secrets with our good Lord.

360 WAR DEPARTMENT

• I'he Adjutant General's Office Washington

June 11, 1928 Dr. Lerton V. Dawson Amarillo, Texas The records of this office show that one James Sage served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. Joseph Crockett's Company, 7th Virginia Regiment, (1776-1778) ; also designated 7th and 3rd Virginia Regiment, commanded suc­ cessively by Lieut. Col. Holt Richeson and Col. William Heth. He enlisted Feb. 27, 1778 for one year; was transferred in June, 1778, to the Major's Company, same regiment; was transferred in November, 1778, to Capt. Thomas Buckner's Company, 5th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. William Russell, and was discharged Feb. 16, 1779. The records also show that one James Sage served in that war as a Sergeant of Virginia Infantry, organization not further indicated. His name appears under heading: "A list of Soldiers in Virginia Line of Continental Establishment who have received certificates for the balance of their full pay agreeable to an Act of Assembly, passed November Session, 1781" which shows that on November 30, 1785, the sum of nineteen pounds, thirteen shillings, and eight pence was re­ ceived by one Mr. Sayers. The records of this office do not show the place of resi­ dence of either of the above soldiers. The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that additional information may be obtained from the Librarian, Virginia State Library, Richmond, or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C. (Signed) C. H. Bridges Brigadier General Acting Adjutant General (By E.W.M.)

Taylor, Ashland, Virginia. Translated Section from old German Catechism of Lovis Ott (Sage). (Translated by the German Department of Hamr;den-Sidney College). Page 47 *Is it then such a great sin to commit perjury or to take a false oath? Yes: It is a terrible contempt of Goel the Omniscient/ who is truth itself/ to swear falsely in his name/ and to call him a witness of lies and falsehood; which contempt the Lord as a true, holy, and omnipotent God will not let go unpunished. What does (illegible) say about foolish swearing? One who swears vainly is not without sin. His house will be severly punished. Is conjuring a sin? Yes: It is an abominable crime through which a man is deserted by God and is taken into the communion and fellowship with the Devil _____ 399 Page 48 How is a man to pray? 1. With true devotion of the heart and not with the mouth alone. 2. With humility and the recognition of one's sins and un­ worthiness. 3. Believingly and with the confidence of a child. 4. In the name ,of Christ, with clean hands so one may not defile them in vices and lies against the conscience. What are you to pray and ask of God? Anything that tends toward the honor of God, and is neces­ sary for our bodies and souls as our Father teaches us. How often are you to pray'? The Lord Christ says: You are to pray at all times and without giving over. And St. Paul says: Pray without stint. Concerning the third commandment What day is called a Sabbath or rest day?

407 Between-the-Logs (Wyandotte) ( Historical Collections of Ohio; Vol. 2, by Howe, beginning page 897). Between-the-Logs, who d. in 1826, (age 50 years), was one ,of the husbands of Caty Sage, the daughter of James Sage that was abducted (supposedly) by a horse thief, in 1792, who was reared by the Cherokee and Wyandotte Indians. The Methodist Church main­ tained a mission among the Wyandottes for many years. Prior to the establishment of the Methodist Chu:rch there (in the Ohio Valley), a portion of the tribe had for many years been under the instruction of the Catholics. Between the Logs The first Protestant who (Wyandotte Chief and preacher) preached among them at Upper Sandusky, (according to this account), was John Stewart, a Mulatto, and a member of the Methodist denomination, who came of his own accord in 1816.* His efforts paved the way for an established mission a few years l:1ter, when the Rev. James Finley formed a church, and started a school there. This was the first Indian mission formed by the Methodists in the Mississippi tributaries, and the first Protestant mission in America.

'The church was built of blue limestone about 1824, from Government funds. It stood on the outskirts of the town, in a small enclosure, surrounded by woods. Connected with the mission were a schoolhouse, and a farm a mile square. Young Indian women were taught to cook and bake, and sew, while young men learned to farm, do carpenter work, and blacksmith­ ing, the trades of civilization.

408 ( *One account states that the Rev. George Duffield was. one of the earliest Methodist missionaries to the Wyandottes in the Ohio Valley in 1816. Grant Harrigton described in his "Historic Spots in Wyandotte", this Indian Mission at Upper Sandusky.) In 1842 a treaty was affected by which the Wyandottes were rEmoved to a reservation w:est of the Mississippi. (Near Kansas City). Thereafter the Methodist Church assumed re­ sponsibility for their hallowed burial grounds left behind by the tribe. Between-the-Logs was born about the year 1780, his father a Seneca and his mother a Wyandotte, of the Bear Tribe. He participated in the battle when the Indians were defeated by General Wayne. He became chief of his tribe at an early age, and, because of his retentive memory, and ability in discussion was constituted chief speaker of the Nation. He spent a year with the Shawnee Prophet, Tecumseh's brother, and returning to his tribe, convinced them that the Prophet's pretensions were "destitute of truth". He also de­ tected the fallacy of the Seneca Prophet's pretensions. As head chief of the Wyandottes, in the Indian Council at Brownstown, he rejected all overtures to join in War against the Americans. He and his warriors left the Council and joined the American cause. When General Harrison invaded Canada, Between-the-Logs, in company with a party of Wyandotte chiefs and warriors, accompanied him. After the War he settled permanantly near Upper San­ dusky. He became intemperate, and, in a drunken fit, killed his wife. When sober, the horror of his deed caused him to abandon measurably the use of ardent spirits. When Stewart, the missionary, went among the Wyan­ dottes, Between- the-Logs was the first man converted. He became a regularly appointed exhorter in the Church. Rev. James Finley, from whose autobiography this sketch is derived, says of the Indian Chief: ''Between-the-Logs was rather above common stature, but otherwise well proportioned,

409 with ar1 open and manly countenance. His memory was so tenacious that he retained every matter of importance, and related it when necessary, with a minute correctness that was truly astonishing.

And such were his natural abilities otherwise, that, had he received a suitable educatio11, few would have exceeded him., either :ls a minister of the gospel, or as a statesman or poli­ tician." Between-the-Logs was the second husband of Caty Sage, who was abducted and taken to the Indians at the age of five. The Cherokees later gave her to the Wyandotte tribe as a good­ will offering. Caty had first married Chief Crane, and had one child, which died in infancy, Crane was evidently an old chief. The date of her marriage to Between-the-Logs is not known, but was sometime between the coming of the mission­ aries in 1816, and his death in December, 1826, at the age of 50. Caty became a Christian, as was later borne out in one of her brother, Charles Sagels letters to Lovis, in Grayson County, Virginia. Charles miraculously discovered her in 1848, about eight years after he had migrated to Jackson County, Missouri. She later married a third time to a Wyandotte named Frost, but had been a widow for some years when Charles found her in 1848. With the exception of her two brothers who moved to Missouri, Caty was never re-united with her family, due to her inability to speak English, after living with the Indians for fifty-six years, and the eventual loss 0£ her sight, and death in 1853.

John William Fletcher - b. in Switzerland 1729, educated at Geneva. He aided John Wesley and Whitefield in founding the Methodist Church. 4. Robert Fletcher was an army surgeon from th2 Royal Col­ lege of Surgeons during the Civil War; lecturer on medical jurisprudence at Columbia University; was editor of Index of Medians, and lecturer in the medical department of Johns Hopkins University. (The New Americanized En-• cyclopedia.)

In Badeker's, "London and its Environs", on page 400, John Fletcher (1579-1625), and Lawrence Fletcher, (d. 1608), are mentioned in connection with Southworth Cathedral and Globe Theatre. Lawrence Fletcher was a lessee, along with Shake­ speare and Richard Burbage of the Globe, and one other theatre.

THE WORLD BOOK 2, (Page 705) : Francis Beaumont ( 1584-1616), and John Fletcher ( 1579- 1625) were English dramatic poets who worked together. They were contemporaries of Shakespeare, and their plays were popu­ lar. Beaumont was considered better in composition, and Fletcher better in poetry. * * * * * * (From the CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, January, 1959; as copied by Mrs. Joris B. Catron, Pennington Gap, Va.) When seventy years old, John Wesley became ill. He wondered about the future of Methodism. He started looking around for a successor...... He wrote to John Fletcher, saintly vicar of Madeley Parish......

411 Wesley was not alone in his high esteem of Fletcher. Robert Southey, the English poet, and Methodist historian, wrote: (Fletcher) "was a man of rare talents, and rarer virture. No age or country has ever produced a man of more fervent piety, or more perfect charity; no church has ever possessed a more apostolic minister." Born Jean Guillaume De La Flechere, in Nyon, Switzer­ land, on Sept. 12, 1729, Fletcher came of an aristocratic back­ ground. He received excellent religious training. As a student, he distinguished himself for his intellectual capacities, and his unusual diligence. He went to Germany to study the German language, and after that, to England to study English. He became tutor to the two sons of Sir Thomas Hill, and remained in this post for several years ...... Soon after January 25, 1757 he was ordained a priest in the Church of England. On his ordination, he hurried to a Metho­ dist chapel to assist John Wesley in the administration of the Lord's Supper ...... One of his happiest associations was with Trevecca College, which Lady Huntington had organized in 1768 to educate young men for the ministry. She asked Fletcher for advice about courses of study and textbooks. Finally she asked him to be­ come the president. He gladly consented because this would not interfere with his responsibilities as vicar. In 1776 the long controversy over Calvinism came to an end. Fletcher had worked day and night answering the attacks upon the Methodists...... His health was so impaired that he finally allowed a curate to take over the duties of his parish, and retired for a time to the hot wells of Bristol; then to London to consult the best physicians. When this proved ineffective he went to France, and later to Switzerland; but returned to England in 1781 with improved health. Shortly afterward he married Miss Sarah Bosenquet, who operated an orphanage, upon which she had expended the large fortune she inherited. Fletcher could help her in her financial difficulty, while she could be a help-mate for him.

412 His final contribution to Methodism was in the role of a mediator. At the conference of 1784 Wesley introduced his famous Deed of Declaration, the plan for continuing the work after his death. He designated 100 preachers to guide and govern the Societies. This created a storm of controversy be­ cause it left out about 100 preachers...... It was only the love, prayers, and compromises of John Fletcher that prevented a serious dissension in Methodism at that time...... His useful ministry was ended in the summer of 1785. An epidemic of fever broke out in his parish, and he did not hesitate to visit the sick and dying. In a short time he fell victim of the fatal disease, and died August 14, 1785. . . He has been often called "The Saint of Methodism". * * * * * * (From "THE HOTTEN LIST") Burials - Parish of St. Michael's Fletcher, Mr. Wm., 26 March, 1678. Fletcher, Noah; 5 July, 1678.

429 Summers' HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, VA.: Patterson Fletcher was in House of Delegates from Washington Co., in 1825. * * * * * F'letcher - Jackson: Mrs. Marjorie J. McDermott, 1367 Park St.; Huntington, W. Va. states: "Several of our Jacksons married Fletchers who lived on Fletcher Ridge. The first Richard Jackson had a son, James, and the descendants married Fletchers". (Russell, and Buchanan Counties, Va.) * * * * * * The Lee County, Va. Fletchers Aaron Fletcher and E1izabeth (Milam), (Davis) Fletcher migrated to Lee County, Va. from what is now Giles County, Va.,* prior to 1820. Elizabeth probably had children by a former marriage, and Mr. Marvin V. Koger (deceased), an authority on the Fletcher and allied families, thought that Aaron Fletcher may have been married previously, and may have had sons: James - b. about 1784, and John - b. about 1790, and possibly others. However, his will showed only one son, Aaron, and four daughters. One daughter, Lydia Fletcher, m. Sampson Sage, (the eighth child of James Sage), in 1816. Their family record appears _under descendants of his. (*Aaron and Elizabeth Davis were m. in Montgomery Co., Va. in 1797. About 1800 this part of Montgomery County became Tazewell County. In 1806, Giles County was formed, and they lived in that county until they moved to Lee County.) Below is an abstract of the will of Aaron Fletcher, Sr.: Will Book 2, Page 35, Lee Co., Va.; 3 December, 1841. Wife, Elizabeth. "To children hereafter named": son, Aaron, Jr.; daughters: Lovice Hyden, Lydia Sage, Elizabeth Whorton, and Malinda Hix. Exr. - Aaron Fletcher, Jr., and friend, Benjamin Hill. Wit.: Jacob Rasnik, John Garrison, William P. Duff. Will proved May, 1844. (Aaron, Jr. received as his bequest, land on Wallen's Creek.)

437 Mary can vaguely remember conversations about Harper's Ferry in Jefferson Co., Va. ; also something about Tazewell ( or Teaswell), Va. It is likely that she was a dau. of Rowland Fletcher, whose family is listed in the 1850 Census of Tazewell Co., Va. The discussion of Harper's Ferry may have had to do with the Civil War.

469 Fannon ( Fannin, Fanning), etc. From PIONEER AND PATRIOT FAMILIES OF BRAD­ FORD, PENNSYLVANIA, by Clemen F. Havely, (1915). The family is thought to be of Norman origin, dating back to Richard Fanyn, of Ireland, in the 13th century, who was killed in a rebellion against Henry III. Edmund, a descendant of Richard, came to America in 1635, settled at New London, Conn. He served in King Philip's War, as did his sons : Edmund, Thomas, and John. The younger Edmund m. Margaret Billings, of Stonington, and located at Groton. Jonathan ( '?) m. Elizabeth Way and had five daughters, and sons: Jonathan and David, who was a soldier in the French and Indian Wars. He was m. twice, and was the father of 18 children. His son, Elisha, was a soldier in the American Revolution. He had children: Elisha, David, Polly, John, Abi­ gail, Amos, Jesse, Betsy, Nancy, Daniel, Alvin, Hiram, and Almira. (Copied by Mrs. F. L. Carlson, P. 0. Box 273, Estacada,. Oregon).

From the "History of Stoningham, Conn. and Genealogies," by P. A. Wheeler - 1900; p. 365). Edmund Fanning d. in 1693, leaving a widow, Ellen Fann­ ing. Another tradition would make him a descendant of Domini­ cus Fanning, who was mayor of a city in Ireland, under Charles I, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Drogheda in 1645. All the garrison, except himself, were put to the sword. He, was beheaded by Cromwell, his head stuck on a pole at the principal gate of the city, and his property confiscated. His son, Edmund - b. at Kilkenny, Ireland, immigrated to America with two sons: Thos. and Wm. They settled at Ston­ ington, Conn. According to tombstone records, he d. at River­ side, Long Island in 1683, or 1693. Neither of these traditions can be relied upon.

470 The children of Edmund and Ellen Fanning were: (a) Edmund - m. Margaret Billings; (b) Thomas - m. Frances Ellis Oct. 19, 1684. He also served in King Philip's War; (c) John; (d) William; (e) ,James; (f) Mary - m. Benj. Hewitt; (g) _____ ?; (h) Nathaniel - b. May 31, 1755, Capt. of a ship; (i) Gilbert - b. Jan. 30, 1757; (j) Huldah - b. July 19, 1762, d. Apr. 10, 1765; (k) Huldah - b. May 30, 1767; (1) Samuel - b. Apr. 21, 1771; (m) Richard - b. June 22, 1774; (n) Henry - b. Apr. 13, 1778. (Above copied by Mrs. Sterling Parker, Vancouver, Wash.) * * * * 3-18-1964: Many Fannons, (Fannings, etc.) think that there may be a Bryant (Bryan) and Fannon connection, since a Bryan Fannin left a will in Amelia County, Va. in 1765, and may have been an ancestor of the Virginia and Georgia Fannin(g)s. Mrs. C. R. Amis, (Vada Mae Jackson), care ASARCO, Cosala, Sin, Mexico), has the following line of Fannins: William Benjamin Fannin - b. 1858 in Ga. - great grand-­ father; a son of John William Fannin - b. 1835, in Ga.; son of Ben Fannin - b. 1770-1775, in Va.; probably a son of Laughlin Fannin, a son of Bryan Fannin, of Amelia Co., Va. "David Turnipseed, a student at Georgia Tech, stated: ( of the Wilkes Co. Records) : John Fanning d. in Ga. in 1803. (Now we feel that this .John is the young John mentioned in Bryan, Jr.'s will, 1767, Amelia Co., Va.") Laughlin Fannin was his "sort of" guardian. "So it is no doubt the young John of Bryan, Jr.'s, who was in Ga., and whose oldest orphan is Bryan.'' * * * * Mrs. Ralph Wolfe, 203 E. Santa Fe, Marceline, Mo.: Elizabeth Fanning - b. abt. 1782, dau. of John and Eliza­ beth Fanning, who had a land record in Grayson Co., Va.

471 Mrs. Carrie Halliday, 540 Logan St., Bethalto, Illinois: Interested in a Joseph and a John Fanning; one Middleton John Fanning. All were from Virginia, and settled in Illinois. * * * * Mrs. Luther Isbell, of Atlanta, Ga., is a descendant of Laughlin Fannin's daughter. She thinks that most of us are Bryan Fannin's descendants (of Amelia Co., Va.) * * * * * I, (Bonnie Ball), had a great grandmother, Elizabeth Fannon, of Lee Co., Va., who m. William W. Sage._ She was a dau. of Bryant Fannon and Abigail (Muncey) Fannon, who were m. in Giles Co., Va. on Feb. 14, 1812. According to a daughter-in-law of Elizabeth Fannon (Sage), Bryant Fannon was a son of Jesse Fannon. But we have been unable to trace this line farther. There were Fannons (Fannins) in Wythe, Lee, and Scott Counties of Va. in 1850. The known children of Bryant and Abigail Fannon of Lee Co., Va. were (Not in order of birth): a. (Thomas) Landon ("Lan") Fannon - m. Jane Burke, Lee Co., Va. (He was b. March 8, 1822, d. Nov. 19, 1909). (Lee Co., Va. cemetery records). b. Abigail Fannon - m. John Rasnic (k). c. Nancy Fannon - m. Crockett Thompson, Wythe Co., Va. d. Ardena Fannon (twin) - m. Jonathan Stewart. e. Lucinda Fannon (twin) - m. Boyd D. Miles. f. Loudema Fannon - m. Robert Young.

The known children of (Thomas) Landon Fannon and Jane were: (a) Charles F. Fannon - m. Maggie Anderson; (b) Thomas Jefferson Fannon - m. Dora Gillenwater. (Jane Burke previously married John Fletcher and Daniel Koger. Mr. T. L. Fannon was her third husband. They probably had a daughter.

(He had a known son, David, a Tory, a copy of whose will from Nova Scotia is in possession of Mrs. Amis.) (Since the Fannin (Fannon, Fanning) material we have collected must be "sifted,; from records and notes received in letters, and those copied in note book, we canndt attempt to continue it as a co-ordinated, or orderly, chapter, as to sequence.)

From Vada Mae Amis: Illinois History: Fannings of that area are from Middleton John Fannin and Joseph Fannin. There was a Middleton Fannin in Caswell Co., N.C. in 1788 tax list. Bryan Fannin's descendants are said to have been in the Orange Co. area of N.C., and that other descendants - sons, even - were in Va. counties adjoining N.C. Elbert Co., Ga.: The son of Nathan Arundel, in his application for his father's pension from American Revolutionary service in Dobbs Co., N. C., said that his father went to Elbert Co., Ga., after the War, and m. about 1790, Susanna Fannin, the dau. of Laughlin Fannin, (evidently the one in Mecklenburg Co., Va., 1771-1787, and the son of Bryan Fannin, of Amelia Co., Va. (Will-1765). John Hubbard Fannin got land in Elbert Co., Ga. in 1790, but would probably be found in Franklin Co., Ga. records. He sold in 1808 to Benjamin Fannin, in Filbert. John Hubbard Fannin's wife was Polly. There was a John Hubbard Fannin in Mecklenburg Co., Va., also Elbert Co., Ga.

474 Laughlin Fannin was in the militia of Elbert Co., Ga. in 1792. No "Jr." is used. It is supposed that he was the older Laughlin Fannin, of Mecklenburg Co., Va., the son of Bryan. Laughlin voted in Elbert Co. in 1795. Middleton Fannin got land from Benjamin in 1796, but it is not known whether he was Laughlin's son, or the Middle­ ton of Caswell Co., N. C. (1788) ; whether his wife was Delpha, or the Jincy mentioned in the Vann's Creek Baptist Church records, (church established 1785) ; whether he was unmar­ ried; or the one excommunicated from the above church in 1805, after confessing to drinking to excess, swearing and fight­ ing, and having been forgiven several times. A book on Coryell-Bell-McClennon Cos., Texas, mentioned -a Jesse Graham from N. C., whose mother was Martha, the dau. of Middleton Pannin. Their son was b. in Jackson Co., Ala. Mr. La Fayette Lamb, of Waco, Texas, gave the children of Jesse and Martha (Fannin) Graham as: Mike, Ben., Thomas, "Buck," Jim, Martha, and Sallie (Hill). The family all lived in Franklin Co., Tenn. It is said that the Fannin in the Goliad Massacre in the Texas War was of this family. Coryell Co., Texas Census, 1880: Jesse Graham, 76, b. N.C.; Martha Graham, 69, b. Tenn. (Both of their parents b. in Va.)

Mrs. Amis thinks that Middleton Fannon, of Elbert Co., Ga., is the same Middleton as the father of Martha Graham, and that he was a brother of her ancestor, Benjarnin Pannin.

A Charles Fannin, (over 45 in 1820), was mentioned in Elbert Co., Ga. records in 1805.

A Preliminary Chart Made by Mr. David Turnipseed (from notes he received from Mrs. Lloyd B. Raisty, 120 Mock­ ingbird Lane, Decatur, Ga. 30030).

475 These are Fannins (Fannings) of S. C., Ala., and Texas, mostly. Mrs. Amis has added notations in parentheses. I. _____ Fanning, (ancestor) appears to have had~ John ( ?)

(This was before Wythe County was formed from Mont­ gomery.) * * * * * Glass From "The Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their De­ scendants", by T. K. Cartmell, (1909), are abstracted the follow­ ing data on the Scotch-Irish Glass family: "Samuel Glass and Mary Gamble, his wife, who came in their old age, from Banbridge, ( or Benbridge, or Bainbridge), County Down, Ireland, were among the early settlers taking their abode on the Opecquon in 1736. His wife often spoke of her two fair brothers who perished in the siege of Derry. "Mr. Glass lived like a patriarch with his descendants. Devout in spirit, and of good report in religion; in the ab­ sence of the regular pastor he visited the sick to counsel, in­ struct, and pray. His grandchildren related in old age, by

486 way of contrast, circumstances showing the strict observance by families -- Mr. Glass, in the midst of wild lands. to be purchased at a low rate, thought sixteen hundred acres enough for himself and children." From a clipping in a Belfast paper: "In 1736 a number of families emigrated from Bainbridge and neighborhood. Amongst them were members of the Glass, McDowell, Magill, Mulholland, Linn, and other families. Those people settled in the Shenandoah Valley on the banks of the Opekon, Virginia." From the same paper: "Samuel Glass had six children: John, Eliza.. Sarah, David, Robert, and Joseph, all born at Benbridge." Samuel Glass purchased 1600 acres of land from Jost Hite and Lord Fairfax, whose grants were divided by the Opequon, ( or Opekon). His children: b. John Glass - m. _ _ __ Becket, in Ireland, settled in Augusta Co., Va. His children removed to Tennessee, and did not keep up communications with the family; names unknown. b. Eliza Glass - m. James Vance in Ireland. They had two children: Samuel and William. c. Sarah Glass - m. _____ Becket, and had 5 children. d. David Glass - m. _____ Fulton. His children moved to Ky.; names unknown. (Note: This may have been the David Glass who lived on the Holston in the 1770's, and possibly the David Glass described as having lived at Castle­ wood, on the Clinch (Russell Co., Va.), when Daniel Boone was traveling to Ky. However, some. local historians state that this man was not a Glass, but a "Gass", or "Guess". Fulton was an early surname in Washington Co., Va. (Ed.) e. Robert Glass - b. in Ireland, 1716, m. Elizabeth Fulton. They had 13 children and many descendants, who lived in Frederick County, Va.; and the Shenandoah Valley.

487 f. Joseph Glass - b. 1722, in Ireland, lived at Greenwood; d. 1794; m. Elizabeth Wilson. They had 12 children. Joseph's son, David Glass, m. Sarah Steele, and had 10 children. "Some descendants may be found in Tennessee, or Kentucky. They intermarried with names: White, Thompson, Venable.

Gravestone Inscriptions: Frederick County, Va. Glass: Graveyard No. 29; Glass Monument: "This monument was erected by descendants of Robert and Joseph Glass, A.D. 1845. "The Righteous Shall be Held in Everlasting Remembrance" (Front). · "To the memory of Samuel Glass and his wife, Mary Gamble, emigrants from Bainbridge, County Down, Ireland, 1736. (Right side) "Their children: John, Eliza, Sarah, David, Joseph, were all born in Ireland, and came with them." "Their descendants are to be found in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana."

There is yet no definite proof that the Glass family of Southwest Virginia descended from this pioneer family on the Opequon. If so, they could have descended only from John, David, or Joseph. It is likely that John Glass was the ancestor of the Glasses found in Tennessee records, and that David Glass probably founded the Kentucky branch mentioned in "Kentucky Pioneer and Court Records," by McAdams. The Glass families of Wythe, Giles, and later Lee County, Va., used such given names as: Jacob, George, Joseph, John, James, William, Rufus, Julia, and Rhoda.

In the Roster of Va. D.A.R. (1890-1958), is the name of Miss Louise Baker, No. 257663, a descendant of Samuel Glass, Revolutionary soldier. One Samuel Glass was a petitioner for the establishment of a ferry across the Ohio River in 1787, Oct. 29, Ohio Co., Va. One Samuel also appeared in Greenbrier, Va. (W. Va.) records.

During the past ten years there has been correspondence with some of the Glass descendants of various other lines. One of these, Mrs. David J. Thorson, 3129 School St., Oakland (2), California, has worked out a most comprehensive list of all known Glass descendants in the United States, along with those who married Glasses, in alphabetical order. This list required fifty-odd typewritten pages. Others who have done work on the Glass families include: Mrs. Ruth Dillon, 3605 33rd St., San Diego (4), Calif.; Mrs. James A. Webb, Jr., whose last known address was: 3851 Portsmouth Drive, San Antonio (10), Texas. (They lived at Arlington, Va. in 1957.) Mrs. Webb is a descendant of John and Nancy Glass, of Ill. and Mo. John d. about 1803; also Mrs. H. W. Coone, 1100 Shipman Lane, McLean, Va. (Mrs. Coone has been most helpful. She is interested in William Henry Glass, of Halifax Co., Va.). Mrs. Ila Fuller, of Crofton, Ky., has also conducted some research on the Glass lines. Mrs. Coone kindly copied wills of Robert Glass, (1796), Frederick Co., Va.; Joseph Glass, (1795), and David Glass, 177 4, both of Frederick Co., Va.; and John Glass, of Augusta Co., Va. * * * * * The Glass Families of Southwestern Virginia In Kegley's "Southwest Virginia Frontier," William Glass was in Capt.

Little is known of this son until he reached young manhood. According to a family tradition, he was threshing wheat one day when mili­ tary officers seized him, and he was conscripted into the Hessian Army by order of the ruling monarch of that day. Despite his widowed mother's efforts to secure his re­ lease, she was unsuccessful. She gave him a German Bible to carry with him into future conflicts. One of his earliest assignments was with the Hessian troops hired by King George III of Great Britain, to fight against the rebelling American colonies, on the other side of the Atlantic. In the battle of Saratoga in 1777 he was captured by American armies, and later sent as a war prisoner to the Valley of Virginia. When the war ended the Hessian prisoners were given a choice of being returned to Europe, or taking the oath of allegiance to the new government in America. Jacob Rarsnich took the Oath and became an American citizen, with an Angli­ cized name of Jacob Rasnick.

524 Jacob had already met many people of German blood and speech in the Shenandoah Valley. The following year he mar­ ried one. She was Mary (Molly) Koontz (Kountz, Counts), a dau. of John Counts, a pioneer citizen of Shenandoah County. In the late 1780's Jacob's name appeared on the Shenandoah County tax list, with assets of 2 horses and 2 cattle. About 1789 Jacob Rasnick, along with the Counts family, moved to Russell County, Va. They settled in Glade Hollow, near the present site of Lebanon. He died either late in 1826 or early in 1827. Both he and Molly are buried in Glade Hol­ low. Their children were: a. John Rasnick - m. Rachel Fields. b. Jacob Rasnick, Jr. - m. (1) Judith Finney, (2) Martha Hobbs. He was an Ensign in the Va. Militia, 1810. They had 12 children, and remained in Russell Co. c. Elijah Rasnick - d. in 1868; m. (1) Elizabeth Skeen, (2) Elizabeth Litton, (dau. of Solomon Litton). There were children by both marriages. (For complete record of de­ scendants of Jacob Rasnick, see Records of the John Counts Family, by the late Judge E. J. Sutherland.) d. Margaret Rasnick - m. _____ Miller, and moved to a western state. e. Lazarus Rasnick - b. 1793; went to Indiana and m. Eliza­ beth Holmes, a native of New York state. He later moved to Burlington, Iowa, where he d. in 1855. They had 10 children. f. Mary (Polly) Rasnick - m. John Robinson, and moved we8t­ ward. g. Nancy Rasnick - m. Broady Fields, and lived at Glade Hollow. Record incomplete. h. Jonas Rasnick - m. Rachel La Force. He was a noted hunter of the Sandy Basin. They had 7 children.

1. Christina Rasnick - m. John Fuller of N.C., who was said to have been a son of George Fuller of Scotland. They lived at Sandlick, Dickenson Co., Va., and had eight children.

525 John Rasnic(k) John Rasnick, son of the first Jacob, married Rachel Fields. They lived on a farm in Glade Hollow for several years. In 1829 they moved to Lee Co., Va., where they bought a tract of land on Wallen's Creek. Eighteen years later, however, in 1847, John, Rachel, and most of their children, moved to Knox Co., Ky. They sold the farm to their son, Jacob, who remained there the rest of his life. (For some unknown reason, the Rasnicks of Lee County, Va., have consistently spelled their name R-a-s-n-i-c, leaving off the "k," while some in Russell and Buchanan Counties spell it R-a-s-n-a-k-e. Regardless of how .it is spelled, it has been assumed that all persons named Rasnick (Rasnic, Rasnake, etc.) in America are descendants of Jacob, the Hessian soldier.) The children of John and Rachel (Fields) Rasnic were: a. William W. Rasnic - m. (1) Julia ----~, (2) Mary _____ ? They moved to Ky., and later farther west. They had 8 children. b. Jacob Rasnic - m. Elizabeth Hobbs. He was a farmer and local Methodist minister; also a Justice of the Peace; d. in Lee Co., Va. in 1878. (Of whom hereafter.) c. Malinda Rasnic - m. Henry Reynolds, and was living in Scott Co., Va. in 1850. They had 7 or 8 children. d. Elizabeth Rasnic - m. ,James L. Goshen, 1867; lived in Ky). e. Artimissa Rasnic - m. John B. Black, and lived in Ky. f. Prudence Rasnic. g. John T. Rasnic - m. Rebecca Grindstaff; lived in Ky.

Jacob Rasnic (III) Jacob Rasnic, (son of John, son of Jacob I), m. Elizabeth Hobbs. They lived in Lee County, Va. for the rest of their lives, and are buried in the old Rasnic Cemetery about a mile below Stickleyville. Jacob and Elizabeth had the following chil­ dren:

526 a. John E. Rasnic, (called "Johnny"), who was a lay Methodist minister. He performed many marriages in Lee County; was also a farmer and a Justice of the Peace. He is the ancestor of most ( or all) persons of Lee County that bear the name, Rasnic. They reared a large family, and many of his grandchildren are today leaders in education, busi­ ness, and industry. (Further details on this family will be found in the chapter on Fannon. He m. Abigail Fannon,) b. Malinda Rasnic - m. John C. Hamilton, in Lee Co., Va., 1851. c. Nancy Rasnic - m. Jerome Glass. See chapter on the Glass family. d. Elizabeth ("Betsy") Rasnic - m. M'Nelius V. Glass about 1850. See Glass for family record. e. William P. Rasnic. f. Winnie Rasnic - m. _____ Saddler. g. Artimissa Rasnic (Artie) - m. _____ Unthank. She had two children: Isom and Kitty. Isom settled in Ky., and probably has descendants there. Kitty m. her cousin, Peter Rasnic, of Lee Co., Va. They had 2 sons. h. Mary Ardena Rasnic - b. ca. 1850; m. (1) _____ Lam- bert, (2) Ordley Gobble; d. in 1930's. She had 2 daughters by the first mariage: Emily and Annie Lambert. They m, two Hinkle brothers. Emily m. Ambrose Hinkle. Annie m. Floyd Hinkle. Both reared families and lived in Lee Co., Va.

Sutherland, Clintwood,, Va.; Records of Mrs. Fay Sage, Lee Co., Va. * * * * * Bryant (Briant, Brian) The name Bryant is believed to have originated from the French name, "Briand," later called Briant, Bryant, etc. It may have also included the surname Bryan. Mrs. Millie Reed Uhl, (deceased), of Oakdale, Nebraskai had a large collection of data on this family, some of which'

527 included European royalty, Huguenots, and Mayflower an­ cestors. Unfortunately there were few sources given for many of these claims, which may have been legitimate, even though not proven. From the data of Mr. W. T. Foster and Mrs, Artie Blon­ shine, as given to Mrs. Uhl, we find that Henry Barber, in his History of the British Narnes, states: "The name Bryant is from "Breaunt," a locality in Normandy. The French name was Briand." "Park Goodwin, the historian of 'William Cullen Bryant, the Poet, Scholar, Etc.," states that the name means broad hand, a chieftain, great strength." Barber further says that a coat of arms was granted Thomas Bryant by the English government in 1634. The de­ scendants of Thomas Bryant came to America. Stephen Bryant came in 1632, and lived in Plymouth, Mass. _____ He was the son of the above named Thomas Bryant. This Stephen married Abigail Shaw, who came from England, and lived at Plymouth, Mass. "Stephen Bryant, Jr., son of above, m. Sarah Snell in 1640, a descendant of John Alden, who signed the Mayflower Com­ pact. His wife, Priscilla Mullins, (1621), is "celebrated" in Longfellow's Miles Strlndish." "James Bryant, Sr., son of Stephen Bryant, Jr., was b, in Plymouth, Mass. in 1680, and moved to Manakin Town, Va. (No reference given.) He m. Elizabeth La Favre (LaFevre ?) , a Huguenot, by whom he had eight children: James, Isaac, (wounded at Guilford Courthouse, one of the founders of Mana­ kin Town, enlisted in Powhatan Co., Va.; served as a pvt.; m. Magdaline Paranteau, Huguenot). ______"James Bryant, Jr., son of James Bryant, Sr., b. 1720, lived and died in Va. He m. (5-11-1758), Jane Guerrant, a Huguenot, by whom he had 4 children: John, William G., Jane, and Sarah. His second wife was Jane Forsee, also a Huguenot, and they had 4 children: James, Stephen, Silas, and Mary. "John was the Revolutionary soldier. His father and brother, James, Jr., and William G. were privates in the battle

528 of Guilford Courthouse. His uncle, Thomas Bryant, a lieuten­ ant, was killed, and a brother, Isaac, wounded. John Bryant migrated to Kentucky in 1763 ( ?) , m. Mary Owsley of Ky. John was appointed a civil engineer and surveyor by the gov­ ernor. He brought up a large family. He left living his sons: John G. Bryant, grandfather of Joseph Bryant of Bethany, Mo.; Thomas Owsley Bryant, _____ -----, George S. Bryant, father of the Independence, Mo. Bryants; Jonathan Bryant, father of the Maryville, Md. Bryants; Daniel Bryant, Isaac Bryant's grandfather; Edmond Bryant, father of the Pike Co., Mo. Bryants. Thomas Owsley Bryant was the father of Jonathan M. Bryant, of Harrison Co., Mo., and was my wife's father. I believe the genealogy to be correct, but some have claimed that James Bryant, Jr. was b. in England. I find that he was b. in Plymouth, Mass." Mr. Foster believes that the Bryants helped William the Conqueror in the conquest of England in 1066 A.D. It is further stated that they fought with English generals for 200 years in the Crusade wars, where they earned the cross and Eastern Star in their coat of arms. They participated in French wars under King Henry II, which he said explained the fleur de lis in the coat of arms. A description of the Bryant coat of arms: American flag decorations, for American Bryan ts; Badge of D.A.R., as de­ scendants of John Bryant, (or other soldier of that war); star and crescent moon; chevron, crusade wars; ox-horn and bugle, great nation of Wends; the hawk or falcon, first families of England; Plymouth Rock, Pilgrim Fathers. The above data is largely from notes of Mr. W. T. Foster of Washington, D. C. Others who have done research on the Bryants are: Mrs. L. H. Blonshine, 4202 W. Flora, Tampa, :B'la. 33614; Mrs. Hildreth Johnson, Box 753, St. Joseph, Illinois; Col. John D. Long, 3905 Juniper Road, Baltimore (18), Md.

The persons mentioned above were largely, or entirely, traced from John Bryant who m. Mary Owsley, a relative of

529 one of Kentucky's governors. Mrs. Reed believed that her line of Bryants were also descended from this John Bryant. However, to date we have not established proof of this. There were Elizabeths in that Bryant line, but none were found that could have been the wife of Charles Comer Sage. It has not been proven as to the place, or date, of Elizabeth Bryant's marriage to Charles Sage. They lived in Whitley County, Kentucky in 1820 and a few years that followed, which may have indicated that she was related to the Kentucky Bryants. In 1822 Charles Sage, (of Whitley Co., Ky.) applied for power of attorney, (in a land transaction, Grayson Co., Va.), for Susanna Bryant, who was likely his widowed mother-in­ law. The land was sold on Crooked Greek, (Grayson Co., Va.) to William Sage. (Deed Book 5; page 226; date 5 March, 1822.) Wit.: Robert Sutherland, Peter Delp, ____ Ban- ner.
