GAGE

GAGE. The oldest copy of the so-called Battel Abbey Roll mentions a De Gaugy or Gage as having come into England at the time of the Conquest. He settled in the forest of Dean, and his descendants were ennobled. Banks, i. 89. " Modem Heralds trace the genealogy of the family of Gage, now flourishing in the rank of the peerage, from this ancient stock." Ibid, p. 87.
