I have an early early will of a Samuel SAVAGE, my ancestor, who died in Roxborough, Phila Co., PA in abt 11/1707.
In his will, and subsequent land deed, one of his pieces of property, a quarry and some land, he bequeathes to his 3 sons equally. In a 1712 deed, son Samuel bought from the quarry and land from his 2 brothers, John, a mason, and wife Mary of West Jersey Province of Maidenhead, and George and his wife Mary, a stone cutter in Roxborough. I think this Maidenhead is now Lawrenceville, Mercer Co NJ........

Does anyone know of any SAVAGE descendents who would come from that area of NJ?

I have no other info on John other than his wife's name.

Two other sons of Samuel SAVAGE stayed in PA., and Samuel's line became the more prosperous one, as he married a RUTTER and her father started one of the first iron forges in PA. His son Samuel Jr continued in this business and there were intermarriages with POTTS family, founder of Pottstown, PA - also a big iron baron in PA. The book 'Potts Memorial' has information on some of the SAVAGEs in it.

George SAVAGE is my line, a mere stone cutter! He died 1719.

Anyways....just curious about the John SAVAGE in New Jersey!
