Margaret Gage

Marriage settlement dated 26 May, 1st Elizabeth

from The History and Antiquities of Hengrave, in Suffolk By John Gage.  Page 236:

I. John Gage, of Firle, his heir: he married, first, Elizabeth, who,‘from. the armorial bearings on his tomb, appears to have been of the family of Littleton, of Frankley ; secondly, Margaret,° daughter of Sir Roger Copley, of Gatton, in Surrey, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Shelley; and dying on the tenth of October, 1595, at the age of fifty-six, without issue, his estates devolved on the issue of his brother Thomas. The tomb of Sir John Gage, in Fi'rle chapel, is made to correspond with his father’s; upon it are the efligies, in brass, of himself and his wives, and a label with these words:

"HIC JACET JOHES. GAGE ARMIGER. ET DUE UXORES EJUS ELIZABETHA ET MARGARETA QUI OBIEBUNT ANNO DNI. MILESSIMO QUINGENTISSIMO NONAGESSIMO QUARTO QUORUM ANIMABUS PROPICIETUR DEUS"
