Thomas Gage was born in Firle, England in 1721. His birth date was never actually known. Thomas was a son of an English viscount.[8] His home life was very care free and he wasn't disciplined much. This is most likely why he became who he did. He was a hardworking man who strived on seriousness and discipline. Thomas Gage was a Lieutenant- General. [9] While being a General and a Governor, he had a mass amount of money. More than anyone could imagine.[10] Gage was appointed Governor when he was in his 50's. Thomas Gage was known to be a handsome man but some say he always looked tired. Gage had gray hair and a receding hairline. Without a doubt, it was his work that made him look worn out. Gage never acted as if he was "worn out" to the public he was lively while showing forceful dominance like in his portrait. [11]
