| Notes |
- Sterling SAVAGE had married early, but his young bride died when he was about 25 years old, leaving him with two young sons, Jesse and Sterling King SAVAGE.
He soon married young Susannah Swales, and together they added three children of their own to the two boys Sterling brought into the marriage.
Sterling and Susannah SAVAGE appear on a land deed in 1786 in Martin County, NC, and are listed on the 1790 Census there as well. In 1794, Sterling SAVAGE died, leaving his widow Susannah with five children, including her two step-sons Jesse and Sterling K..
Susannah remarried to Henry J. A. Hill, the son of the Sheriff of Edgecombe County, North Carolina, and shortly thereafter the new family moved to Georgia around 1800 for a few years, and then on to Warren County, Tennessee. Before we go on with the Tennessee SAVAGE story, a footnote about Susannah and her new husband is in order. Around 1808, Henry began an affair with 16 year old Polly Johnston, and continued the relationship, eventually having six children. The arrangement apparently was common knowledge to Susannah and the community as well, and the children of both families are entered in the same Family Bible. Henry Hill was well liked, and served three consecutive terms in the Tennessee Legislature. Oh well.... [2]
