Some Famous People called William Cage

William Cage (MP for Rochester)

William Cage (28 March 1666 – 21 January 1738) was an English Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons of England from 1702 to 1705 and in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1710 to 1715.

Cage was the son of William Cage, lawyer of Hollingbourne, Kent and his wife Cicely Culpeper, daughter of Sir Cheney Culpeper and Elizabeth Stede. His father and grandfather died in 1676 and 1677 and he succeeded to his grandfather's estate at Milgate Park. He was High Sheriff of Kent in 1694 but was fired from the justice's bench in December 1695 and arrested in February 1696 for betraying confidants. Nevertheless, he became a Deputy Lieutenant and a colonel of the militia by 1701.

At the 1701 election Cage stood for parliament at Rochester but was unsuccessful as a result of a smear campaign under the allegations of disloyalty. However he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochester in 1702 and sat until 1705 when following his defeat he was described as a "violent man". He was re-elected for Rochester again in 1710 in a Tory landslide and sat until 1715 when he declined to stand.

William Cage (MP for Ipswich)

William Cage (died 4 November 1645) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1614 and 1645. He supported the Parliamentary side in the English Civil War.

Cage was the eldest son of Edward Cage of Ipswich (d. 1607) and his wife Beatrix (d. 1631), previously the wife of Thomas Wood. He was a portman of Ipswich and seven times bailiff of the town.

Cage was elected Member of Parliament for Ipswich in 1614, 1621, 1624, 1625 and 1626.

Elected again in 1628, he held the seat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule for eleven years without parliament. He was then re-elected for the Short Parliament in April 1640 and the Long Parliament in November 1640, holding the seat until his death. Cage had a country house at Burstall, Suffolk with an estate considered at about £300 per annum. He was "reputed a wise man". He died in 1645 and was buried in the church at Burstall.

Cage's daughter Elizabeth married Thomas Blosse and their son Thomas inherited the estate at Burstall.
