The Stage name has several variations. I have found the spelling in the same families to be different. Such as STAGG, SAGE, STEIGE, STEEGE and even HEK and HAGMAN. I believe it to be English, but the families immigrated into the Dutch Colonies in America. The pronouncation and spelling probably depended on who could read and/or write and who and/or how they spoke.
