I am looking for the family of James N. SAVAGE, who was born about 1800 and died about 1836. His widow, Phoebe YOUNG?, remarried a Cyrus SANDERS in Laurel or Blooming Grove in 1838, and after he died in 1859, her son James Campbell SAVAGE and wife Mary Elizabeth JOLLY moved to White Co, IL, from Cincinnati, OH. No one in our family has been able to track down James N. SAVAGE's parents or other family members, but have always concentrated their search in Cincinnati. Since Pheobe was in Franklin Co. maybe other family members spent time their. Phoebe supposedly took care of Cyrus SANDER's children by a previous marriage for many years, and was much younger than Cyrus, who was a veteran of the War of 1812. See my page on the White County Historical Society and Genealogy Library at http://www.midwest.net/scribers/cbconly/wchs.htm. Thank you.
