  	This date is based on his deposition of 27 Sep 1654 when he recalled marking steers for Capt. Jno Stringer 5 or 6 years earlier. If he was age 19 when he deposed, then he would have been age 13 or 14 when he was marking steers.
  Gender	Male
  Court - named in order	3 Nov 1654	Accomack-Northampton Co, Virginia   [2]
  	Whereas an order was formerly granted that Capt Jno Stringer should have satisfaction of Thomas Savage for a steer killed by him, in difference between the said Mr. Stringer & Tho: Savage. (in case the ear mark by the reports of viewers of his cattle appointed by the Court did not appear to be of the same marks as the ears of the said steer killed were of) which ears were presented by the said Capt. Jno Stringer unto the Court; The said viewers accordingly brought into Court the said Savage's marks (which mark appeared not to be the same mark). And also it is confirmed by Jno Savage, his oath that the beast was so marked by him (That was showed unto Capt Stringer & killed by the said Savage. It is therefore further ordered that Tho: Savage shall forthwith make payment unto Capt. Jno Stringer one steer of the same age & bigness according to the judgement of Tho: Dimmor who best knew the former beast so unjustly killed by the said Thomas Savage). 400 pounds of tobacco & Caske, with Court Charges.
  Deposition	3 Nov 1654	Accomack-Northampton Co, Virginia   [1]
  	The deposition of Jno Savage taken 3 Nov 1654 (which he signed 27 Sep 1654). That, I, Jno Savage five or six years since showed unto Capt. Jno. Stringer one weaneinge brown steer calf; marked of both ears with a under half & over half on both ears; The tips being left (as it were sphere pointed) which said calf I marked for Ittalye Hodgskins; And afterwards bought it to the said Hodgskins; also I do declare the Thomas Savage his man, did kill the steer that went in the name of Capt Jno Stringer; it being to the best of my remembrance, the same mark as those ears were of as Capt Stringer presented to the Court; The steer was running at the upper end of the neck. This I am able to declare upon oath when I shall be thereunto called. Signed: Jno Savage, 27 Sept 1654. (NOTE: It seems if the deponent, Jno Savage, was a son of this Thomas Savage, he would have referred to him as his father.)
