In a book entitled Rockingham County North Carolina Deed Abstracts (1785-1800) by Irene B. Webster, 1983 I found the following: Book C, page 28. State of NC to Zebulon Savage 194 A on Pruitts Fork of Hogans Creek adj. Widdow Savage, James Martin, John Thompson, Aaron Arnold. Nov. 8, 1784. Book C, page 36. Zebulon Savage to John Savage for 30 pds, 100 A on Hogans Cr., a tract formerly granted to Robert Jones and sold to William Savage. May 14, 1786. I, Elizabeth Savage, widdow of William Savage, Sr. hath sold...my thirds share of above tract. Samuel Watt Jr., Thomas Savage, Robert Duncum, John Hamilton, Robt. Craig. Note: Is is possible that Zebulon, William, and Thomas were sons of Elizabeth and William Savage, Sr. and that John was a son to Zebulon? It would be nice if we could find a will for this William Savage, Sr. Book B, page 237. Thomas Redin to William Washington for 65 pds. 80 acres adj. William Savage, Samuel Watt. March 1, 1787. Chas. Collings, Sherwood Nance. Book B, page 242. John Triplet of Caswell Co. and Thomas Redin to William Washington for 85 pds. 100 A on both sides of Hogans Cr. adj.

Zebidee Savage. Aug. 27, 1794. ===== In a book about Laurens Co. SC Deed Abstracts, I found the following: Thomas Savage and wife Ginney of Franklin Co. GA to William Washington for 90 lbs. str., 37 acres bordering on Zebulon Savage, John Duncan, Wm. Obannon. Wit: Wm. Owings, Zebulon Savage, Ruben Yager, Ruben Nash. (1799) Note: I believe this same William Washington owned land adjacent to the Savages in Rockingham Co. NC. ===== Below is a summary of the Laurens/Abbeville Savages: (1) Thomas Savage, born in the 1750s was in Laurens County in 1790. His wife at the time was Ginny ___. They lived on land just north of the Saluda River, probably near the present-day community of Princeton. The land bordered land owned by Zebulon Savage. Thomas sold his land to William Washington in 1799 and moved to Franklin Co. GA. By 1830, Thomas and family had moved to Hall Co. GA. I believe this is the same Thomas Savage who married Jane Taylor on 10 Jun 1775 in NC. He was a soldier in the NC line in the Revolutionary War. Thomas died in Hall Co. GA on 1 May 1839. Thomass youngest son was named Zebedee. (Ginny is a nickname for Jane). (2) Zebulon Savage, Sr., born in the 1750s was listed in the Laurens Co. Census of 1790 as Zebulin Sawing. He lived near Thomas Savage who was about the same age. I believe they were brothers. Zebulon Savage, Sr. remained in Laurens Co. until his death. He died sometime before 1810. (3) Zebulon Savage, born in NC about 1780 first appears in the Laurens Co. Census of 1800. Zebulon and family remain in Laurens Co. until about 1841 when they moved to Tuscaloosa Co. AL. Zebulon died in Tuscaloosa Co. in 1862. Zebulons first wife was named Rebekah Cox. His second wife was named Elizabeth Pinson. Zebulon had the following children: Wesley, Wiley, James, William, Starling, Pendleton, Sarah, Rebecca, Mary, Virginia, Elizabeth, Lucy, Dianna, Catherine, and Emma. I believe this Zebulon Savage was the son of Zebulon Savage, Sr. (4) William Savage was born in NC in the 1780s. He first appears in the Laurens Co. Census of 1810. He was living next to the Zebulon Savage who later moved to Tuscaloosa Co. AL. I believe the William and Zebulon were brothers. William and family moved to Abbeville Co. SC by 1830. By 1840, they had moved to St. Clair Co. AL. Williams wife was Nancy ___. Their children were Linda, Mary, John, Gallington, Drucilla, Zebulon, and Jane. William died in St. Clair Co. in 1851. ===== The line could go this way (this is a reach!): Generation 1: William Savage, born abt. 1720s and wife Elizabeth. Generation 2: Zebulon Savage, born abt. 1750s (may have brothers named Thomas & William) Generation 3: William Savage, born abt. 1780 and wife, Nancy. (may have brother named Zebulon) Generation 4: John Savage, born abt. 1807 and wife, Rebecca. ===== Rockingham Co. NC is just across the border from Pittsylvania Co. VA. Rockingham is bordered by Guilford Co. NC. My guess is that these Savages may have been in VA before NC. Ken Slade [email protected]
