Message Board Post:
I am a decendent of his first wife: Mary Ann Cayce-Baker (widow of D. Davis D. Baker)
(1823-1850). Thier marriage is recorded in the records of Matagorda Museum - married April
10, 1846 in Matagorda county, Texas. I think the Stewart surname that you mention is
confusion with other Cage's that married a Stewart, as I find no proof that he ever
married a Stewart at all. Benjamin Franklin Cage and Mary Ann Cayce-Baker-Cage were my
3rd Great grandparents. They had two children before Mary Ann Cayce-Baker-Cage died in
1850 :
1) Sarah Jane Cage (1847-1914) (who married Thomas Jesse Teas) and they are both buried
in Teas Family Cemetery on the old Teas place just south of Lockhart, Tx with double
headstone (they are my 2nd great grandparents). They are TEAS-CAGE 2nd great
grandparents.
2) Thomas Jesse Cage (1849-1929) whom had at least two marriages: 1st: Agnes
Andrewnette "Nettie" Wright (1856-1894) and had at least 9 children; 2nd: Martha
Almira "Mattie" West (1855-1930) and they had one son. Mattie was the daughter
of my WEST-GILL 2nd Great grandparents: Peter Lawley West & Virena Clementine
Gill-West.
2d Marriage: After Benjamin's first wife (Mary Ann Cayce-Baker-Cage) died on January
10, 1850 and was buried in Cage's Place in Clinton/Wharton, Dewitt county, Texas,
Benjamin remarried to a Nancy Elizabeth Bethia Grier on April 6, 1851 in Wharton, Texas
and they had at least 4 children:
1) Phillip P. Cage (1852-1899) who married Nancy S "Nannie" Gillespie and had at
least 6 children.
2) Benjamin Franklin Cage (1854-1895) who married Emma Frances Carson and had at least 8
children.
3) Thadeus "Thad" Eli Cage (1857-1922) who married Annie Thompson Durham and had
at least 7 children.
4) William James Jackson Cage (1860-1934) who married first Della A. Anderson and had two
children before she died in 1888; 2nd married to Cora Lee Price and had several children.
I do not believe that Benjamin ever married a STEWART, as he was only a widower a short
time between Mary's death (1st wife) and his 2nd marriage date to GRIER. There were a
couple of other CAGE's that did marry STEWART's but I do not believe Benjamin F
Cage ever married to a STEWART at all.
