Jim, Thanks for clearing up the dates. I did that off memory and knew he died bedor 1850. You bring up something that interest me. My ancestor that was married to Lucretia Savage, the niece of Dr. Savage was Thomas Horace Cleland. His 3rd wife was M.T. and owned a school in Delhi, LA, our notes are that this M.T. was possibly part of the Savage Family some how and her marriage to Thomas Horace Cleland was also her 3rd marriage. Do you think there could be any connection to this M.T. and Dr. Savage's Delhi Estate? Here is what I have: Thomas Cleland lived in Delhi, Louisiana, when he was married to his third wife whose initials were M. T. (Martha T.) It is believed that she was related to the Savage family. This was her third marriage also. She had a son Tollie by her first marriage and a daughter Lettie (Letitia) (Hattie Purvis?) by her second marriage. Thomas H. Cleland.s four children by his second marriage lived with them in Delhi. He has a son by his third marriage, George McDuffy Cleland, who died when he was 13. Besides preaching in Monroe, La., Thomas Horace Cleland taught school in an Academy he established on his property in Delhi. After he died on February 17, 1878, his four children by his second marriage went back to live in Kentucky with Ray relatives. Thomas Cleland.s grave is in the cemetery at Natchez in the plot with his first and second wives. His third wife was buried in Delhi, La. 1880 Census Delhi, Richland, Louisiana Martha T.
