Let me see if I have this correct. First of all David GAGE Sr. was the son of Nicolas GAGE of Wales, England and his first wife Mary. His wife died and he married Esther SCHIFFMANN of Germany the mother of Danile SHIPMAN who married Elizabeth BURLESON in Virginia. David Gage Sr. was born 20 Jule 1701 in Stephney, Saint Dunston, London, England and married Abigail BURLESON the sister of Elizabeth BURLESON. David GAGE Sr. and Abigail had a son named David GAGE Jr. born about 1734 in Woodbury, Orange County, New York as were all of their children. The younger David GAGE Jr. married Esther SHIPMAN in Orange County, New York and I think that she was kin to the Shipman's from England as a desendent of Edward SHIPMAN and one of his two wives, Elizabeth COMSTOCK or Mary CHANDLER of Connecticut. She may have been a sister to the Daniel SHIPMAN of Orange County, Mew Your who married Sarah EASTMAN but I have never made a connection. That is not the same branch of Shipman family as those who settled in North Carolina. Of course she could have been related to Daniel's older brother Joseph SHIPMAN who also came to the New World from Hamburg, Germany through Wales, England and married Mary Catherine MAREIKET and had two children named Harmon and Maretije that I lost in New Jersey. I hope this helps you.
