Margaret Kemble Gage
Margaret Kemble Gage (1734–1824) was married to General Thomas Gage, who led the British Army during the American Revolutionary War, and is said to have spied against him out of sympathy for the Revolution. She was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey〔New York Historical Society, Vol. 17 of The Kemble Papers, (New York: New Historical Society, 1884), xiv, http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Qq4FAAAAMAAJ.〕 and resided in East Brunswick Township.〔Allen, Thomas B. (''Tories: Fighting for the King in America's First Civil War'' ), HarperCollins, 2010. ISBN 0-06-124180-6, p. 52. Accessed February 13, 2011. "Oliver was a nephew of General Gage's wife, the former Margaret Kemble, from East Brunswick, New Jersey, who adapted to British ways while clinging to her American identity."〕 She died in England in 1824. Mrs. Gage was a gateway ancestor to centuries of English nobility who have Dutch and Huguenot ancestry from what was once New Netherlands and later the Thirteen Colonies of British North America.
==Patriot Spy==
Historical texts, most notably ''Paul Revere's Ride'' suggest that Mrs. Gage provided Joseph Warren with information regarding General Gage's raid at Lexington and Concord. Although there is no documented evidence that confirms Gage as Warren's informer, speculation of her being a spy for the patriots remained due to her familial ties to America. Among the skeptics was her husband. Fischer writes in ''Paul Revere's Ride'', "All of this circumstantial evidence suggests that it is highly probable, though far from certain that Dr. Warren's informer was indeed Margaret Kemble Gage - a lady of divided loyalties to both her husband and her native land". 〔David Hackett Fischer, ''Paul Revere's Ride'' (New York: Oxford University Press 1994), 96. 〕 As a result, Gage was sent to England aboard the ''Charming Nancy'' on her husband's orders in the summer of 1775.〔David Hackett Fischer, ''Paul Revere's Ride'' (New York: Oxford University Press 1994), 290.〕
