Hi Brenda: I have not run across these two set of PAGEs from Rehoboth, MA before! There is NO obvious connection between the two sets of PAGEs that I note. In the first set, Ebenezer Page, who is listed as the father of Samuel Page (b. in 1711) would have been b.c. 1680 and seems to me to have been the father of MOST of the rest of the PAGEs listed in that set. In the line of John and Phoebe (Payne) Page, Samuel Page (b. in Watertown, MA 20 Aug. 1633 [Watertown VR, 3], lived in Concord and Salisbury, m. Hannah (Dean ?*) and d. in Watertown in 1691) who was one of their younger sons had several sons including their youngest, Ebenezer Page (b. Jan. 17, 1676) of which nothing was noted on Chart #2 by C.N. Page in Dec. 1917. That Ebenezer Page also had brothers, Joseph Page (b. 1667) and Samuel Page (b. Jan. 5, 1670) plus sisters Hannah Page (b. Feb. 10, 1669 m. Thomas Corey), Mildred Page (m. John Harridon), Mercy Page (m. Thomas Ingram in 1702), Elizabeth Page (m. Mr. Perry), Sarah Page (m. Joseph Sanderson, 1714), and Experience Page, and ALL of these names are listed in the set shown below, but the names in the set below seem to be a generation later! [Chart #2 of the line of John and Phoebe (Payne) Page by C.N. Page; * Thomas Dane or Dean of Concord, in his will of 1675, made a bequest to daughter, Hannah Page; Thomas had a second wife Mildred, and Samuel and Hannah Page named their second daughter Mildred.] In the first set, I wonder why the John Page (b Mar 9, 1725/26) is out of order from the rest of the others listed. He may not have been a son of Ebenezer and Sarah Page! I have no clue as to the individuals in the second set except to note that they seem to have been the children of a Steven Page who was in turn the son of a Steven Page, a combination of names I have not found in the line of John and Phoebe (Payne) Page. In fact the name Steven only appears as Stephen in that line b. about 1790 in Haverhill, NH, the on of John Page of Lunenberg and Hannah Greene who m. to Haverhill, NH in 1762. That name appears as Stephen in the line of John Page of Haverhill, MA, but not near that early!

Looking for information on John Page "of Philadelphia, PA" (b.1751 ? where; d. abt. 1790) Married Deborah Bell. John and Deborah had a son Thomas Till Page who moved out to Warren County, PA, and was one of the early settlers there. The family homestead was along the Little Brokenstraw River in the vicinity of Pittsfield TWP. Thomas Till (10 Sep 1780 to 14 Dec 1849) married Margaret Steele. They lived and died in Warren County and they had 10 children. This information comes from Warren County, PA historical records. I found 2 similiar profiles on the LDS site; One had a Thomas Page married to Deborah Bell with a son John Bell Page, b. 1789 Philadelphia. The other had Joseph Page of Philadelphia b. 1752 married (31 Jul 1777)to Deborah Bell; on this record Deborah Bell's parents are Jacob Bell and Ann Jones. The submittion was madew by a relative, Theodore Mckean. Can anyone make a connection? There are A LOT of John Page's in PA during this period. And I may have the wrong given name as well.

Hello again Pat. Still no luck with Solomon's father (Josiah?) yet? As I'm sure you remember I am descended from Solomon's brother Marion Washington Page. I too have had no luck finding more info on his father Josiah or further ancestors. If anyone can help us...PLEASE. Thanks.

Hi....I have been most interested in ready about the Virginia Page families recently, as well as John Page. I have a dilemma that I hope someone can help me with. My grandmother told me when I was growing up that I was a descendent of Governor Page of Virginia...this sort of thing was very important to her because she was the wife of a U.S. Senator. However, I have not yet been able to find the connection. My grandmother divorced my natural grandfather when my mother was young. His name was Samuel Cheatham. His mother was Deloca Page, daughter of Solomon Hardy Page and Elizabeth Davidson. Deloca was born in Duval County Florida. Solomon Page was born in Early County, Georgia on November 11, 1846. I believe Solomon's father was Josiah Page. He married Bersheba Phelps in Early County, Ga. on October 5, 1837. I believe he was born in North Carolina, however I have hit a total road block with Josiah. Does anyone have any information on this line of Page? Is my Josiah somehow a descendent of Governor Page? I would REALLY appreciate any assistance with this. I worked on it for a long time then got frustrated and just gave up for a while....but with the recently list activity about Va. Page families, it really got me going again. Thanks in advance for any help. Patricia Holsten

Seeing the many reponses to John PAGE, I decided to post my PAGE family. again. 1850 census of Somerville,Ma. Philip PAGE 35,m.1836 Eliza PAGE 34 from Vt.

Malinda: I'm researching the CARGILL family of VA. Rev. John CARGILL was a minister in the Surry/Sussex area, arriving in 1718. Harrison was one of the allied families of this line. Also, one of the descendants was Quartermaster General of the Army during the War of 1812 and according to his records he was on the Governor's Council. I haven't been able to determine what the Governor's Council was. thanks, Charles

I have been reading all the latest mails re Page surname and hopefully as it is so active someone can help. I am looking for a John Alexander Page born Nov. 1883 in Belfast Ireland. His parents are listed on his burial records as Joseph Robert Page and Elizabeth Patterson but I have hit brick walls on all of the above. John was married to Elizabeth Dean in Toronto Canada in 1911. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jackie Serna Page in Canada

I cannot help you with your PAGE line, but I am interested in Elizabeth DEAN. I have an early DEAN line that came from England to New York. Part of that line came to Iowa and part went to Michigan, which would not be far from Toronto... Do you have any info on your DEAN line? Ancestors, names, dates, etc?

I don't know if this applies....but I am both a VA Page descendant as well as a Washington family descendant (certified, card carrying...literally...#914). I am also a Harrison descendant and my VA Harrison line descends from a common ancestor with the Presidential and Signer Harrisons ( they're both from the same line...only much closer to each other than my folks). Colonial VA was a very small world.Many of the early arrivers were the younger sons of the gentry and nobility. Many of these were the "Military" sons and the "Merchant Prince" sons. A few of the "Church" sons came, but not as many of those...the Colonial Parishes were not well funded (better to stay at home if your people were well connected....unless of course you had been on the "wrong side" of either the Cromwell thing or the Restoration...then , better to stage a strategic removal). Most of these people had old world ties to each other of a familial nature....theirs was a rather closed society ...(and England remains somewhat that way even today) The old family ties were maintained for a very long time. I think things might have started changing (falling apart ??) in North Carolina...or perhaps, more accurately the Frontier in general.The Civil War pretty much finished it off. The remaining vestiges were obliterated by WWII and followed by the 1950s corporate relocations...leaving many of us with a sort of cultural amnesia. There have been times when I was subbed to both VA and NC lists where they would do roll calls at the same time and many of the surnames would be the same. People would just "disappear" according to the VA listers and the NC listers would be talking about their "aliens" who must have been dropped off by UFOs.. they just "showed up" one day...poof ! I started feeling like a switch board operator I was recently looking through a book about Irish landed gentry in the 1500 and 1600s and started having the same sensation....lots of familiar surnames. Unfortunately, it's on genealogy.Library.com...and the name "Page" is a nightmare to try and do a search on...if you know how, let me know. Anyway.....there are websites that have Presidential lineages posted. They are pretty limited in their scope, but you might find a connection. If you find one to my lines, please let me know. Hope that helped......malinda CHARLES S BRACK wrote: > Col. Page: > > While we're on the subject of the Pages of VA-- > > I read a book quite a few years ago on one of the MA Page families.

I can come close, but mine probably is not the one you want. I have a Reuben Page, b 9 Jun 1756 in New Fairfield, Fairfield Co, CT. I have no marriage nor death information on him. He is one of the children of John and Hannah (ROBBINS) PAGE. If you ever find that yours might have been born abt 1756, please let me know and I'll give you ancestry back to 1712. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kevin and rika" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2001 6:22 PM Subject: [PAGE] Reuben Page > Wondering if anyone has Reuben Page in their files.

Me too! I had the pleasure of being there today and hearing him in person (along with thousands of others) and took extreme pleasure in him talk about Gov. John Page, a close personal friend of Pres. Thomas Jefferson. This was especially since I have spent the last six months or so researching on the ancestry of Col. John Page who came to VA c. 1650 and the PAGEs of co. Middlesex, Eng. from about 1500 until 1700! As an aside, there was a couple who took off their coats in the rain as he started to speak, and they were completely nude! The were of course immediately arrested and hustled off, much to the delight of the audience who say them. George W.

Col. Page: While we're on the subject of the Pages of VA-- I read a book quite a few years ago on one of the MA Page families. I believe it was authored by the man who tried to connect with the Page family of London. The book stated that the Pages of VA were connected to Presidents and generals. I would like to know who the presidents and generals were and what was the connection. Also, was there a connection between the VA and MA Pages. thanks, Charles P.S. One of my lines has a "Master General" from VA in the War of 1812.

Wondering if anyone has Reuben Page in their files. He appears to have been born 13 Aug. 1772 and died Nov. 19, 1849 in Somersworth, NH. In between he married Abigail Berry March 6, 1798 (by Rev. Benjamin Randall of New Durham , NH). Hopefully during all this, he found the time to father Charles Page, born about 1820, Strafford, NH. In the 1830 NH Census, Reuben Page is listed in Farmington, NH. Mahalo and take care, Kevin

Prepared Inaugural Address of George W. Bush Reuters WASHINGTON, (Jan. 20) - Following is the prepared text of George W. Bush's inaugural address, delivered shortly after he was sworn in as 43rd president of the United States on Saturday: This peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions, and make new beginnings. As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation. And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit, and ended with grace. I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow. We have a place, all of us, in a long story; a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old. The story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom. The story of a power that went into world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer. It is the American story; a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise: that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born. Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course. Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity; an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel. While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise -- even the justice -- of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools, and hidden prejudice, and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country. We do not accept this, and will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity. I know this is within our reach, because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves, Who creates us equal in His image. And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward. America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests, and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American. Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character. America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness. Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small. But the stakes, for America, are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most. We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment. America, at its best, is also courageous. Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defeating common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing, by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations. Together we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives. We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. We will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans. We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge. We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors. The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake. America remains engaged in the world, by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth. America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise. And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love. And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls. Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens; not problems, but priorities; and all of us are diminished when any are hopeless. Government has great responsibilities, for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government. And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque, lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and laws. Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty. But we can listen to those who do. And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side. America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected. Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life, not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free. Our public interest depends on private character; on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness; on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom. Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone. I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility; to pursue the public interest with courage; to speak for greater justice and compassion; to call for reponsibility, and try to live it as well. In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times. What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens. Citizens, not spectators. Citizens, not subjects. Responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it. After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ''We know the Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the Strong. Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm?'' Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inaugural. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage, and its simple dream of dignity. We are not this story's Author, Who fills time and eternity with His purpose. Yet His purpose is achieved in our duty; and duty is fulfilled in service to one another. Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today: to make our country more just and generous; to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life. This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm. God bless you, and God bless our country.

For those of you who missed it: President George W. Bush mentioned John Page, statesman from Virginia, today in his speech. He quoted John Page and I would mess it up if I tried to quote what he said. If you get a chance, take a look at the last part of the speech and read it for yourself.
