Hello everyone!!

 

I have just found something interesting online at Ancestry.com.  Their 1880 census is free to search. I located a Wesley W. Savage, child of Elender. He was born c. 1830. The location is Dagsborough, Sussex, DE. He is listed as the head of household. In the house are the following:    Freeborn G. Savage born c 1833 relationship to Wesley - brother

                 John T. Savage born c.1842 - "   "  brother

                 Elender Savage born c. 1806 -  "   "  mother

                 Matilda E. Savage born c. 1850 - "   "  sister

                 Isaac J. P. Savage born c. 1866 - "   "  nephew

                 Sarah J. Truitt born c. 1865 -  "   "  something other than a direct relationship

   If Elizabeth Jane died 1870, this would make sense. Why there are no spouses for the siblings is a mystery. What is more interesting, is there may be a relationship between ELENDER and some other folks in my extended tree. I have three individuals who are children of Elisha and ELLEN (or NELLLY). Two fit the age range and one may or may not fit. I have:

   Isaac J. Savage born c. 1843-1848. His fist marriage was to Patience Jones in 1870. He is described as from Wor. Co. Md, son of Elisha and Nelly. His second marriage was to Lydia A. Jones in 1890. He is described as a widow from Sussex Co. Delaware,  son of Elisha and Ellen.

   The second individual is Mary Savage born C. 1837. She married Ebe Jester in 1858. She is described as from Sussex Co. Delaware, daughter of Elisha and Nelly.

   The third individual may or may not fit due to he recorded age . I have a Jane Savage born c. 1875(per marriage record.) She married James T. Birch in 1896. She is only described as from Maryland, the daughter or Elisha and Ellen. However, in "From Tears to Memories," Jane C. Savage Birch is listed as 3/20/1841 -8/31/1912. Wife of James T./ had one son/ Daughter of Elisha and Ellen Savage/ married 7/10/1896 - died of apoplexy.

  Please let me know what you think of  the above!!!     B. J
