The following as to Savage was sent us.
Captain Anthony Savage, Esq.  Justice of the Peace of Gloucester Co. Va. 
as late as 1773 was my ancestor through his daughter, who married Frances 
Thornton.  I want all the information possible of his family.  I have been 
informed indirectly that he settled late in life, or his descendants in the 
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Had he other children beside Alice, if so, have 
descendants been able to learn the name of his wife?  And if he was of John 
and Alice (Stafford) Savage---Humphrey Stafford of Derbyshire.  If I can 
get proof that this is his true line, I will furnish what I believe to be 
the ancestry of this Humphrey Stafford, with my reason for furnishing same 
to be published in these columns.  Do not delay furnishing me with what 
proofs now held in the family.  Mrs. S.L.C. Aiken, S.C.


The Savages who came to South Carolina came because of a division in the 
family, caused by the Revolutionary War.  They were Revolutionists.

Jon Savage, said to be a brother of Anthony Savage who never married and 
died before 1850, either in Western Va. or Ohio, left a large landed 
estate.  James Payne Savage received from Attorneys a letter informing 
him that his family certainly [were] heirs to the said John Savage, 
deceased.  Received the letter July 4th, 1848, at Goshen, Ala. He nor 
any of his relatives ever made reply to the letter.
