SAR shows:

Name Alice Savage
Birth Date 15 Nov 1651
SAR Membership 92386
Role Ancestor
Application Date 20 Jan 1965
Spouse Francis Thornton
Children Anthony Thornton

From what I've seen, she was born in Virginia. Her mother's profile states of the mother:

"... She probably died before going to Virginia but her husband went and bought 50 acres of land..."

and then Alice is shown as being in Virginia, which makes me think her mother did come to America with her husband and had Alice OR Alice would have to have been born in England, her mother died and she came to America with her father. ?

Sarah Savage

As it appears now, the mother Sarah (Constable) Savage died in England but her daughter Alice was born in Virginia.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have info to shed light on whether Sarah died in England or Virginia.

Alice was born calculated 1653 and died 5 Jun 1695. Daughter of Capt. Anthony Savage Esq. "The Immigrant" & and unknown wife[1]. No primary source for her birth has been found, but it is estimated between 1651 and 1653[2][3]

We have no death date or location for Sarah Savage

Thanks, Erica. I'm thinking her mother 'probably' died in Virginia like Alice and her father. That would make more sense than having her mother died in England and then Alice born in Virginia.

Yes, but since we have no information, one way or another, I think better to leave blank. Her daughter could have been born in England; many adventurers left their families in England, or returned there. The first record we have for Alice is her marriage gift. It’s not even certain that Sarah Constable was her mother, although I believe she most likely is.
