Hi, this is probably a stretch but I am attempting to knick down a block wall also so I will make this feeble attempt.
I just found a James Gage in a line who is the Father of William (Bill) Martin Gage. The birth date for my James doesnt match yours however I do know that ailliam was born in NC and Died in Arkansas. Williams birth date is 1792 and I do not have a list of all of his Siblings.

The following article from the Junction City Union gives the details: "Frank Gage, city recreation director, has been granted a leave of absence by the city and will leave this afternoon for New York City to enter national defense work.
"Mr. Gage has been in Junction City for slightly over a year, and since January 1 has been city recreational director. Under his guidance, the city's Municipal Social Center has been built into one of the nation's most outstanding centers for men of the armed forces.
"His position in New York will be with the Wesley Block company, as an engineer-salesman. An engineer by vocation, he has a master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, and was in charge of the institute's electrical engineering department for 1 1/2 years. He came to Junction City from Salina where he was engaged in radio entertained work.

Floyd Gage who was in Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua, Mexico 1924

marmaduck — 2009-07-25 17:17:17Z

Floyd Gage who was in Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua, Mexico in 1924. He could have come from New Mexico with a group who in 1922 brought down 3,000 steers and 300 horses to increase the herds and return them to New Mexico for a government sales contract. My father Jim Lafferty was one of the men that went down there. My father also known as Santiago Lafferty stayed in that area buying and selling cattle until 1942. Dad left photos and among them is a Floyd Gage taken 10 January 1924 in Colonia Dublan. He looks to be in his 30's and his eyes look a very light blue and he has blond or sandy color hair. He may be related to the Lafferty / Lipsey / Frances clan. I put the photo on Ancientfaces.com. I will share a better scan of the picture with anyone who is interested.

Would you mind contacting me at my regular email address? It is jdevkar@gmail.com I have lots of questions for you and lots of information on the Haynes family, much more than it would be appropriate for this forum. I descend from a Thomas Haynes and Mary Ann Walker Haynes and believe that "Collis" Haynes is actually their son, Thomas Haynes. I'll try to give you much more explanation in future. I think that "Collis" is probably an error by the enumerator.

Thanks, Jane

Re: Trying to find history on the Gages of Minnesota

If you are still researching this line, I'd be most interested to know if you have more information on Thomas Haynes (1839 - 1875) and Almira Higus Haynes (ca. 1847 - ?) If I am correct, these are the parents of Ella Mae Gage of Cedar Rapids IA. I am researching her parents and other members of the Haynes family.

Hope you are still working on this family!

Bonnie,
Have you had any luck? Jonathan Gage is very difficult. My mother pointed to Nancy Elizabeth Gage Phillips (a granddaughter to Jonathan) in a photograph and said she had Indian blood. After studying Jonathan for a while I am thinking she may be correct. He stayed close to the Berryhill's for many years and they had Creek blood, perhaps his wife, Elizabeth was a Berryhill. Proof will be hard to come by. You probably know that Jonathan died in Cherokee County, TX.

Wendell "Windy" Gage
Wendell "Windy" Gage, 86, of E. South St., Corry, Pa., died on Saturday, January 17, 2009 in the Corry Memorial Hospital.

Mr. Gage had moved to Corry at the age of three was raised and educated in Corry where he graduated from Corry High School in 1940. He started to play trumpet at the age of 11 and played in the school band, city band and city orchestra. At the age of 15, he started to play taps for the American and for most military funerals and memorial services. He was inducted into the Army in January of 1943 and was camp bugler in four camps and played trumpet in their dance orchestras. He was sent to the European Theater and served in England, France, Germany and Austria. His trumpet was always with him, in fact as he was going through the "Battle of the Bulge" his trumpet was tied to his backpack. Ending up in Innsbruck, Austria, he met a beautiful young Greek girl whose Austrian husband had been killed in the war, leaving her with two beautiful children. When he returned home he went through channels to bring them to America. Wendell and Maria were married in July 4, 1947. Wendell had worked at Corry-Heibert Corp., he had joined the company as a Product Design Engineer in 1940 at the age of 18 and had retired after 47 years with the company. Following his retirement, Wendell and his wife, Maria spent summers in Austria with their daughter Kathie and family. They also spent summers on Maria’s native Greek island of Patmos, Greece in the Aegean Sea. He was an avid musician playing in dance bands most of his life and teaching music at his business, Gage Music Center. Mr. Gage was an active member of the First United Methodist Church in Corry

Roy or LeRoy Gage born Kaw Reservation, Oaklahoma 1870-80 Est

kimmiehop — 2009-02-03 15:53:05Z

Looking for any information. My grandfather was Thomas Edwin Hill born 21 Aug 1907 to Elizabeth William Hill (b 11 Nov 1887 Arkansas). On my grandfathers passport application in 1935, he listed his father as LeRoy Gage born Kaw Reservation, Oaklahoma and living in Arkansas City, KS.

On a supplemental passport application in 1958, he listed his father as Roy Gage, deceased. (Whether he was deceased or not is a mystery as well, may have been a rift). I don't even know what year LeRoy/Roy was born other than to guess the 1870-1880's. It is believed that my great-grandmother was not allowed to marry LeRoy/Roy Gage and after my grandfather was born, her family picked up and moved to California.

I have lots of other family data, just a dead end at the mysterious LeRoy/Roy Gage.

If anybody has any info, I would love to hear it!

This message is a little late in coming. Just found your message today. David Gage was my great great grandfather by way of Thomas Rusk Gage (his son) then John Monroe Gage (TRG's son) and my dad Floyd Hays Gage, Sr. I have a rough drawn map obtained from a relative probably ten years ago that shows where David is supposed to be buried on the family property in Rusk County. I think it's a real shame any grave marker left is apparently gone. I don't know why he didn't have a more stately burial. My dad and I tried to find it but could not locate it some years ago. If you have located his grave could you please let me know. Thanks Brenda Gage

Re: Elizabeth Gage searching for Robert Gage from Ireland. .

mckendry66 — 2008-12-20 03:55:59Z

I am researching Robert Gage, born in Ireland in 1841 and emigrating as a boy to Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where he became an architect, practicing in the mid 1870s to late 1880s. At that point, he left for Riverside California to join his brother, Matthew (1844-1916), a jeweler from Kingston, who built irrigation canals in Riverside from 1881. I do not know Robert's year of death but, in the 1920 census, he and his wife Mary seem to be still alive in Oneida NY. At the time of Matthew's death in 1916, Robert lived in Utica NY. If this sound like your ancestors, please contact me at mckendryXkos.net but substitute @ for the X. (the actual email address invites spam) Thanks, Jennifer McKendry, Kingston

Re: Trying to find history on the Gages of Minnesota

strauss55 — 2009-02-25 03:04:46Z

Yes I am. I have a Collis Haynes (1840 England - died in railway accident after 1870), not Thomas, who married Almira Higus (1845 Penn-?). He was a railroad engineer according to the census (1870 Census IA Linn Cedar Rapids Ward 1 pg 132). Note that his neighbor is Andrew Hygus (1824 Penn), a Station Engineer, who is Almira's father (see also 1860 IA Linn Cedar Rapids pg 144 where she is in his Higus household). They had three girls, Birdie, Ella May, and Minnie.

Ella May still has several grandchildren living, two of whom have mtDNA samples (that match!) in the Family Tree DNA database in case you have someone you can test in the maternal line from either Ella May Haynes Gage or Almira Higus Haynes. I don't know any farther back than that, but I am overdue to go quiz my cousin (who grew up on the Gage dairy farm in Dallas and only recently closed it down) about all things Gage and Haynes. Anything you know might help me with questions for him.
