| Notes |
- John Gage was born at Bristowe in Surrey on 28 Oct. 1479, the feast of the Apostles Simon and Jude, and was baptized on the same day in the parish church of St. Michael immediately after vespers by the rector. Tradition has it that after his father's death in 1496 Gage became a ward of the 3rd Duke of Buckingham, but Buckingham was then only 19 years old: the wardship was bought on 16 Oct. 1499 by Robert Tate, an alderman of London. In April 1502 a marriage was arranged between Gage and Philippa Guildford, daughter of the comptroller of the Household; she brought a dowry of 300 marks and a rent of 100 marks out of Guildford Marsh in Sussex
His sons Robert and William were already provided for when he made his will, James was to receive lands at Pevensey and Gage's servants, who included Jasper Culpeper and Thomas Gravesend, were to have sums of money. By petition of his executors to the Queen and Cardinal Pole, Gage asked that the profits of a parsonage at Ascham in Shropshire, in his son William's hands by gift of the Queen, should be used for the chantry in West Firle church, William being compensated by receiving an equivalent annual rent from the heir, his brother Edward. The executors of the will were Edward Gage and John Caryll, with (Sir) John Baker I as overseer. A drawing of Gage by Holbein survives.
