Where did the English Sage family come from? What is the English Sage family crest and coat of arms? When did the Sage family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Sage family history?

The Sage family has descended through the lines of the ancient Normans that came to England following their Conquest of England in 1066. The Sage name reveals that an early member was a wise or learned person. Further research showed the name was derived from the Old French word sage, meaning wise.

Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Sage family name include Sage, Sayge and others.

First found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times.

To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Sage family to immigrate North America:
