My wife, Laura Reed Rogers Coleman, was born and raised in Blackwell, OK in Kay County. One of her ancestral families is the Savage family in Cowley County, KS. Other slightly distant Savage cousins of hers also settled in Blackwell, OK. In fact, Laura's sister, Carolyn Rogers married Mark Savage. Mark and Carolyn had common ancestors at the great great great grand parent level originally from Illinois and then Cowley County, KS. I have attached Laura's Savage ancestors to the bottom of this message. Discard if you have no interest. Let me know if there is a connection so we can compare information. Laura's GGG Grandfather, James S. Savage, was a Civil War veteran and we have quite a bit of Civil War pension information as a result.
