Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of Dr. John Smith Sage, of Sag-Harbor, N. Y On the east bank of the Connecticut river, where it sweeps around a bend opposite the city of Middletown, Conn., the picturesque town of Portland is situated. In Colonial times it was called Chatham. About fifty years since, when the Portland stone, which is found here, was becoming popular, the name was changed to that of Portland, after a place in England, famous for freestone quarries. Chatham was the home of John Sage´s American ancestors. It is claimed by descendants that they came from France and were Huguenots, also that name has been corrupted form La Sarge. David Sage, his grandfather, was its first Representative to the General Assembly, and held that position from 1768 to Oct. 1775. It is recorded that in 1803, when eighty-six years old, he was one of the Justices. A brother was one of the victims of the prison-ship cruelties during the Revolution. Comfort Sage (a relative) it is said commanded a company of light-horse at the battle of Lexington, 1775. Ebenezer Sage, son of David and father of John, was born in Chatham, 1755. He graduated from Yale College, 1788, in the same class with Joel Barlow and Noah Webster. He was a physician, and in 1784 settled in East-Hampton, N. Y. He was a skillful doctor and a gentleman of scholarly attainments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
