Francis Street Cage - Memphis TN (?)
I'm trying to find information on a woman with the married name of Francis Street Cage, possibly from the Memphis TN area, or her family. She was the mother of Corrine Cage and Susan Ann Cage (b. 1820). Susan Ann Cage married Thomas Gloster Anderson (1820 - 1882).
I have a photo of Francis Street Cage, if anyone is interested.

Re: Francis Street Cage - Memphis TN (?)
She was Frances "Fanny" Street, daughter of Richard Street & Elizabeth Clapton, born ca. 1784 in North Carolina and died in Nashville, Tennessee in 1875. (Some records give the date of death as 3 Feb, but the records of Christ Episcopal Church in Nashville have a notation of her burial: Fanny Cage, age 91, bur. 20 Jan 1875 in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.)
She was married, on 12 Mar 1800 in Sumner Co. TN, to William Cage, Jr. (29 Jun 1774-12 Aug 1836), son of William Cage & Elizabeth Douglass. William & Fanny lived in LaGrange, TN. They had several children, who were scattered across Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana:
Susan Ann Cage (1799-ca. 1850) George Washington Cage (ca. 1800-1827) Maria Elizabeth Cage (ca. 1809-aft. 1895) Marcus Winchester Cage (1811-1853) James Douglass Cage (1812-1870) Dr. Edward R. Cage (ca. 1815-1866) Rufus King Cage (1820-1906) Lycurgus Cage (1818-1876) Corinne C. Cage (1824-1913)
They also probably had a son, Wilson Cage.
I'd love to see the photo and swap information with you!

Re: Francis Street Cage - Memphis TN (?)
Wow! Thanks so much for this great information. It clearly shows 'Fanny' as the mother of both Susan (my gr. gr. grandmother), and Corrine, who we knew about. But the BIRTH date is off. We show Susan Ann Cage born in 1820, the same year as her future husband Thomas Gloster Anderson was born. If your date of birth is correct, then Susan would have been 21 years OLDER than her husband, which seems unlikely.
I also just found a note in some data I have that mentions Susan wat born "abt. 1820 in Tacoma, Washington"
I also see a note that mentions a 1850 census for Fayette Co,TN which lists T.G. Anderson age 32, born NC, and Susan, age 30, born TN. So those ages are closer to what we have for the birth date, and it has Susan born in Tennessee rather than Washington state (as the other note said, or North Carolina as you have).
Oh, and I just found another footnote in my papers, (from 'Family History: Southern Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s, Historical Southern Families, Vol.II, Reade of York County, Virginia, page 200') which lists the birth date of Susan's husband (T.G. Anderson) as February 12, 1819, rather than 1820. It also notes that The family moved to Fayette County, TN after the first 5 children (including T.G.) were born in NC.

Re: Francis Street Cage - Memphis TN (?)
Oh, and 'Fanny' and William were apparently married in 1806, not in 1800 as you, and others, had.
A friend of mine was able to find a copy of their marriage certificate, since we had the additional info which you gave us! I've attached it below:
