Family lore says that Samuel SAVAGE, the father, was a crew member of Wm Penn, but nothing has ever found to substantiate that. And his 1707 will showed he was a stone mason, and had a quarry with 24 acres of land east of the Schuylkill river in 'Skepack' that the 3 sons were to divide, but Samuel Jr bought them out in the deed of 1712! (His sons George and John were both masons, too.) His wife Ann was to receive his estate in Germantown until her death, and then divided among the sons, etc.... I had inquired on the Mercer Co NJ list several years ago about John and Mary SAVAGE, but no one had anything that early with SAVAGEs! Maybe I need to check in with them again!
