(For my HOLT Family )
Many have heard the story of Caty Sage, the daughter of my 5th Great Grandparents, James Sage and Lovice Ott Sage. Caty disappeared from her home at the age of 5 and was found some 50 years later by her brother Charles.
Read the letter to the United Order of the Golden Cross, 10 letters written by Charles to his family and newspaper articles and learn Caty's story. A special thanks to the Grayson County Virginia Historical Society for providing me with copies of these letters.
As a reminder, the original letters were hand written. The below letters were transcribed by W.R. Cooper.
Letter #1 dated April 2, 1848
Letter #2 dated June 20, 1848
Letter #3 dated August 15, 1848
Letter #4 dated November 14, 1848
(Wix Hale is the son of my 5th Great Grandparents Lewis Hale and Mary Burwell)
Letter #5 dated June 1, 1849
(Martin, who is mentioned at the end of the letter is my 3rd Great Grandfather. He married Susannah Wright)
I will close this blog at the 5th letter. Next blog, you read the rest of the story and see the article that is mentioned by W.R. Cooper.
