Notes	"Richard, son of Pierce and Eunice (Eaton) Gage, wass born in Pelham, June 25, 1784. He moved to Wilton with his parents, in 1789, and always resided in that town. He married Betsey Hutchinson of Wilton, Mar. 16, 1809, by whom he had nine children. He died July 16, 1854. His wife died 29, April, 1863. Of their nine children, eight have at some period of life res. in Washington." RICHARD, b. Pelham, N. H., June 25, 1784; removed with his father to Wilton, N. H., when a child, and always resided there on the farm which his father purchased in 1789. He was a man of firm and resolute character and of the strictest integrity, an excellent neighbor and citizen. Although in no sense a public man — a man known best at home and among his townspeople — he was one of those strong men who have given character to New England society. His wife was Betsey Hutchinson, whom he married March 16, 1809. She was a daughter of Samuel and Mary (Wilkins) Hutchinson, and was born in Wilton, N. H., July 3, 1785. She was a woman of very amiable disposition and fine character, exceedingly well adapted to be a companion to a strong and resolute husband. They raised a family of nine children,all of whom lived to adult life, married, and had children. About the year 1815, they took into their family Lucy Sawtelle, a child who had just been deprived of a mother's care, and treated her withparental affection until her marriage, about thirteen years afterward, in 1828. She married Abner Mansur and resided in Groton, Mass., the most of her married life. She died at Ayer, Mass., May 25, 1890. Richard Gage and his wife lived to see all of their children grow up, marry, and have children of their own. He died July 16, 1854. His wife died April 29, 1863.
