Kathleen: In 1992 I published a 426 page family history, The Savage Family of Shefford, which details many of the descendants of Abraham Savage and Mary Barnes, the parents of Capt. John Savage of Shefford. Its foundation is certainly the work done in the 1920's and before by Mary Olive Vaudry, but it attempts to pull together and sort out, using records which were probably unavailable to Mary Olive, the intertwined branches of the Savage family who settled in Shefford in 1792 and then exploded across the continent starting in the mid 1800's. Many of the early families of Shefford and that part of the Eastern Townships, are connected to the Savage family simply because of the vast number of descendants Capt. John and his siblings produced. The children of Capt. John Savage and his wife, Ann Pratt, were Abraham, John, Lydia, wife of Hezekiah Wood, Anna, wife of John Allen, Rhoda, wife of John Clark, Mary, wife of Silas Lewis, Olive (christened Olivia but always referred to as Olive), wife of William Augustus Garlick and Joseph Plumer Savage, who according to family tradition was adopted by the Savages as a 14 year old about 1808. Edward Savage, the younger brother of Capt. John was the father of Abraham, Magdaline, wife of Thomas Spencer, Peter, James, John Edward, Mary, and Richard. Hope this helps.
