Descendants of Richard and Patricia Savage
•Victor Savage, son of Richard Henry Savage and Patricia Clarke Wildman.
•
•John Savage, Australian Millionaire and son of Victor Savage.
Richard Henry Savage and Patricia Clarke Wildman had only one child of their own; Patricia died in childbirth. This son was Victor Savage, top picture.  Little is known of the life of Victor except that he was murdered by his uncle Culverton Smith, who apprehended by Sherlock Holmes as recorded by John H. Watson in “The Adventure of the Dying Detective.”

What Watson did not record was that Victor Savage had sent his wife and son to Queensland, Australia to live when he discovered his uncle’s evil intentions.

Over the years the Savages prospered in Australia, with Victor Savage’s son John becoming a millionaire. Savage had made his fortune through his cattle property “Orion”  and with a typical Savage love of adventure designed and built the yacht Astradora and sailed around the world. The picture of John Savage is taken from the society page of The Globe newspaper during his final trip to England. Sadly Savage was murdered, although at the time his death was ruled a suicide.
