My gggrandfather was William Cage Sr.My ggrandfather was William Cage Jr. younger brother to Riley Madison Cage. (Monica Reliford and I are evidently distant cousins) A 1920 Wilkinson Co. census shows William Cage Sr's state of birth as Mississippi, another record I've seen shows state of birth of his father to be Tennessee.These brothers were obviously illegitimate sons of one of the Cage men from Tennessee fathered with one of the slave women due to race listed as Mulatto. That is what I'm trying to uncover.Could it possibly be the Chas C. Cage listed as a Planter of 40 years of age on the 1850 Wilkinson Co. census? I think that Chas C. Cage is also known as Charles C. Cage.Any input would be appreciated.
