Is anyone familiar with the history of Cattus Island. I have heard that it used to be called Page's Island. And have noted on a map that there is also a Page's Point and am curious about how it came to have that name. I do know that this land is now part of the Cooper Environmental Center. I have found them on the internet and they list a lecture schedule and one of lectures is the history of Cattus Island. Has anyone heard this lecture or know if a copy of it could be obtained. I have discovered that my 6ggf JOSEPH PAGE who was of UpperFreehold Twp., Monmouth County NJ purchased on Dec 5 1789 - 300 acres of land in Dover Twp, that was located on Mosquito Creek and Mosquito Cove near Barnegat Bay which is part of Cattus Island. He purchased this from David Rhea Esq. He also purchased an additional 10 acres of land of Jacob Applegate at Mosquito Cove from Amos Pharo on Apr 13, 1795. He sold both of these lands to his son TIMOTHY PAGE in 1797/1800. thanks Mathew Page mapage@prodigy.net
