Hi everyone, I am looking for a marriage record for John Jefferson GAGE and Tabitha Ann METCALF in 1874 in Pope County, IL. John was born in October of 1849 in TN, and Tabitha was born in November of 1856 in IL. I am also looking for information about Tabitha's birth and her parents and family. I know that her parents were born in Kentucky. If anyone can find tidbits of information about this family in Pope County, I would greatly appreciate it. Here are the names of all of their children, born in Bay City, Pope County, IL. : Ada Gage b. August 1877 Hariett Gage, b. July 1883 Susan L. Gage, b. August 1885 John Gage, b. March 1889 Charles Gage, b. February 1891 Cassie Gage, b. February 1893 Lester Gage, b. March 1896 This family shows up in Scott County, MO in the 1900 census, so it would appear that they may have lived in Bay City or Pope County from 1874 to at least 1896. I am hoping that because of the length of their stay, maybe there is hope in finding information about them. John and Tabitha are my great great grandparents. Thanks! I am certainly willing to share the information I have if anyone is interested.
