Margaret Kemble Gage (1734–1824) was the New Jersey-born wife of British general Thomas Gage. Married in 1758, she lived within military and colonial governing circles as her husband became commander in chief and Massachusetts governor. Some historians suspect she warned Joseph Warren of the planned expedition to Lexington and Concord in 1775, but the evidence is circumstantial and her role remains unproved. She returned to England during the war and survived until 1824.
