I received the following email from Jennifer Huffstedtler [jhuffstedtler@gmail.com]
yes there is! George Washington and Charles Gage were brothers, sons of Samuel and Mary Ann Gage. Your GW was in the Civil War, while my Charles died while plowing his field (lightening!) before the Civil War started. Samuel died between 1830 and 1840 I think, maybe during the time that their family spent in Alabama. Samuel and Mary Ann got married in TN, the kids (the two boys and girl, maybe another girl) were all born in Alabama, then we find GW, Charles, and Mary Ann listed as a widow in McNairy County, TN by 1850 or so. My Charles married a woman named Nancy, and they had Emeline, John Jefferson, and Logan between 1845 and 1855. By 1860, Nancy is listed alone, and by 1870, Nancy and her 3 kids have all moved to southeastern Illinois. So here is my connection: Samuel and Mary Ann Gage Charles and Nancy Gage (brother to George Washington Gage) John Jefferson and Tabithan Ann Metcalf Gage Charles Arnold and Helen Louise Cleaver Gage Charles Cleaver and Erma Christine Shults Gage (grandparents) I have sketchy information on GW and Charles' lineage going back to a David Gage in NC, meaning I dont have great proof |
