He left there and went west with a Mormon wagon train and settled in Carson City, Nevada. His Father was John Savage who was born in Ireland as was James. James wife was Elizabeth McManeaus. John's wife was Ellen Sullivan. Oral family history says she was a relative of John L. Sullivan the boxer. I haven't been able to verify that. According to family history James had a sister named Hanna. She married a Francis Purcell. 1860 census shows a John and Ellen with a son John (15) and daughter Catherine (13) and Calvin (10) all born in Ireland. Hanna was married in 1859 so would not have lived at home. I think John my G Grandfather had already left home. In the 1870 census shows a Cain. Is this Calvin?? I have some more information that I'm still trying to tie together. Is any of this helpful to you? Dick Savage
