From Find a Grave contributor about the ancestor of William Savage Jr.

At Beeston, Cheshire, England in 1620, John Savage was born. Like so many others, he was inspired to immigrate to the New World. He sailed to Middletown, CT where he married Elizabeth Dubbin/D’Aubbin who was born in Hartford, 1631. Their son, William Savage, born 26 April 1668, who became a captain of the North Company of Middletown militia in 1719, married 6 May 1696 in New London, CT, Christina Mould. They had six children. He served as a Deputy in the General Assembly. Their son, William, born 18 September 1689 in Middletown, married Sarah Savage, born 2 September 1700. As the family continued to prosper, the couple’s son, William, born 19 February 1727, wed Martha Gibson of Middletown on 20 May 1756. This William, fathered 12 children: Martha, Joel, Roger, Jahiel, Mercy, Sally, Roxia, Daniel, William, Eva, David and Gibson. Most of the males fought in the Revolution. By the end of the war, William and Sarah had moved to Canaan, Columbia Co., NY. It was possibly here that in 1784, Joel married Abigail Smith, daughter of Polycarpus and Dorothy (Skinner) Smith. Their first child, Rhoda, was born 21 August 1784.(Mexico Historical sketches).
