Christine, The Olivia Gage that was married to my William Hodges was the daughter of Benjamin Gage (born 1803 died 6 Jan 1858) and Sarah Elizabeth Harrell(born 1802 Ga died 9 March 1874). On August 3, 1838 Benjamin Gage received a second class patent #24 for land in Shelby County, Texas. Quoting the Gage family history Benjamin was born in South Carolina or Kentucky. He came to Texas from Indiana. He traveled through Kentucky, on to Tennessee and from Tennessee to Texas. He is in the 1850 Alabama census? His first three children were born in Alabama. I have not researched the Gage family yet, so this is all I have. I do know that Benjamin and Elizabeth are buried in the Hoover Cemetery along with a lot of their children. Elizabeth Gage is in the 1860 Upshur County, Texas census along with 5 children and one grandchild. Danny Sorrells
