About William Montgomery Gage, Sr.

Parents unknown.

“William Gage first appears in 1721 as the schoolmaster of Freetown, Mass., Bristol County, and as there was a Thomas Gage in the same town at the same time, they may have been brothers. William was apparently a Quaker, and with his sons William, John, Thomas, Joseph, Remembrance, Sylvester and David, left New England and sought a new home in Dutchess County, where Quakerism was well established. From here, the sons scattered in various directions, William (1725) with his sons went into Vermont, John (1726) and Thomas (1729) apparently left for the Vermont frontier; as yet no record of their families has been found. Joseph (1734:1811) with his sons lived in Washington, Dutchess County, N.Y. Remembrance (1738:1828) moved to Duanesburg N.Y. with his sons. David (1744:1802) remained in Dutchess County and had four sons, Samuel, Nathan, William and Jaboz. Nothing is known at present concerning Sylvester (1741) but he apparently remained in Dutchess County. Several branches of the family migrated with other Quakers, settling in Western New York and Pennsylvania.”
