Aaron R. McCage, farmer, and native of the county, was born September 6, 1841, and is one of ten children - six living - born to William B. and Winnie (Potter) McCage, who were both Tennesseans. They were married in Hickman County, and then moved to Lobelville in the early settlement of Perry County. In 1842 they moved to Henderson County, and after a twelve years' residence the family returned to Perry County. The mother died while in West Tennessee, and the father afterward married Mrs. (Crowder) Burchard in 1856, a native of Maury County. The father died August 10, 1874. Aaron B. remained at home until the commencement of the war, when he enlisted in the Fifty-third Tennessee Infantry, and served with it until the fall of Fort Donelson, when he enlisted in the Tenth Tennessee Cavalry, and served until the close. April 5, 1808, he married Martha Jane Burchard, and six children have blessed their union. In 1871 Mr. McCage came into possession of the old homestead, a farm of 200 acres, near the mouth of Lagoon Creek. Just in front of Mr. McCage's residence is a large cave, containing very rich saltpeter veins, but it has never been explored very far. The family are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
