James A. Sage

http://www.blueridgeinstitute.org/ballads/catysagenews.html!SAGE, James. Will proved March 1820. Names wife ........, and children, Samuel, James, Mary, Loves, Margaret, Sampson, Esther, Ann, Charles, Elizabeth and William.

My Sage family line in North America begins with James Sage of Elk Creek in Grayson County Virginia. The earliest records that we have on James Sage, "The Settler" was found in his old notebook made with a home tanned leather binding and this book is stilled owned by a descendant. James recorded that he was born near London England about 1749. He referred to Shepton Mallet, which is located in Summerset county of England as his "dwelling place." He also recorded in his notebook, "James Sage, Baker for His Majesty, King George III. He made a notation about his departure from England, this reads, James Sage, Baker, from London 23 July, 1773. We have learned from a ship manifest that James sailed from Middlesex, where he was sentenced to transportation. He sailed on the Hanover Planter and the Captain was Master William McColloch. James must been sent to the "New World" as a sentence for misconduct. This was a common practice for even minor infractions of the law. This may also explain why he was willing to serve in the Revolution against King George III. James arrived in Philadelphia and came down the "Great Wagon Road" that stretches from eastern Pa. through the Shenandoah Valley into the New River Valley. James settled in the New River Valley in the late 1770's on Cripple Creek near where it empties into the New River. It was here that he met his wife-to-be, Lovis Ott the daughter of a German settler, Sylvester Ott (Utt) and they were married in Montgomery County (now Wythe County) on December 25, 1780. James was the administrator for the estate of Sylvester Ott and at the time of Sysvester's death around 1803, Sylvester owned 60 acres of land on the New River at the edge of Peak Creek in Wythe County but was living in Grayson County when he died.
