  • Notes 

    • Here is the issue-STOP-: some say “Came from Ireland” in 1755...but if he was born in NC, he may very well be descended from Thomas Savage of the first settlement in Jamestown.

      Possibly a Prvt. in Capt. John Holcombe’s Company of the 4th Regiment of Foot commanded by Col. Thomas Elliot. (May 1777-Apr 10, 1778) Rev. War. [5, 6, 7]
