PAGEs of Goochland Co., VA ERRATA Part #3: Under "E-4, 1." - add (J) after John PAGE, Sr.'s name. Part #4: At the bottom of the 3rd page, add Sally LEWIS to the names of the legatees named in Robert PAGE's will. Sally's marriage record states that she was Sally MANN (not PAGE) when she md. William LEWIS on 24 Feb 1774 in Goochland Co.. (Douglas: 31) 3rd page: Under R-2, add that Mary Ann had at least six children. Part #10: 1st page: Change "son" to "dau." in the line that starts that Christian was not a". New Part #12: 3rd page: Since we only know that Christian HODGES' father, Johnson HODGES, was dead by 25 Nov 1771, Christian was not necessarily born after her father's death as he could have died shortly before 25 Nov---so take "(after her father's death" out. However, it was evident that she was baptized after his death. Part #14: 2nd page: Change Jesse PAGE's number from "1-4-2" to "E-4-2". Part #15: 2nd page: Under E-4-6 (Sally PAGE), she was b. 15 Mar and bp'd 2 May 1773. The endnote is O.K. I read the date under a different child by error. Thanks to Dan Page for telling me about this one. Part #17: 2nd page: Under E-6-1, it should read that Elizabeth PAGE md. Thomas, son of Wright MORELAND, not William MORELAND. Another "thanks" to Dan Page for this one. Under Anderson PAGE (E-6-2) change that he sold land to James PAGE in 1809, not 1811. Part #17-S-1: See corrected post "New Part #17-2-1) dated 15 Mar 1999. Part #17-S-2: 3rd page: Put a comma after "Summer Shade" and before KY. Part #22: Under "E-7-3": Change the next part that starts "Mann md.

Part #29: 1st page: Under Robert PAGE (R-1-2) change the second endnote (6) to (7). Part #38: Substitute "New Part #38" for it. I wanted to make to many changes in this segment, so am submitting a new one. Part #40: Substitute "New Part #40" for it. Please send in any more ERRATA that you've found so that they can be corrected. THANKS!

Friends, I have decided to go ahead and make the final post of this treatise today.....the ERRATA. For those of you who may have missed my message of last Sunday, I have also prepared a Table of Contents for all the Parts. However, it is six pages in length and I don't want to split it up to post it on PAGE-L. Since I will not be making an Index to these posts and I've substituted "New Parts" for some of them, this Table of Contents is a "must" for you to be able to put the various correct Parts in their proper places if you have been saving them. If you want this T of C, you will have to contact me personally to receive it by personal E-Mail. For those of you who have already contacted me about this, I will be getting it to you either later this week or early next week. Thanks for your interest and support in this effort. You've been my mainstay throughout the past fourteen months. Warmly, Dolores

` COMMENTS on the Descendants of John PAGE, Sr. (J) COULD THE FOLLOWING PERSONS BE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN PAGE, Sr. (J)???? The 1830 to 1850 Censuses of Stewart Co., TN list several PAGE families with names that strikingly resemble those used by the John PAGE, Sr. (J) line of Goochland Co., VA. If they are, where do they belong in that family? 1830 p. 249: Joseph Page 1 male 50-60 1 female 30-40 1 " 15-20 3 " 10-15 2 " 5-10 p. 250: John Page 1 male 70-80 No females 1 " 60-70 1 " 30-40 1 " 10-15 1840 p. 324: Joseph Page 1 male 60-70 1 female 50-60 1 " 10-15 John Page 1 male 50-60 1 female 40-50 1 " 15-20 1 " 10-15 1 " 5-10 Vincent Page 1 male 20-30 1 female 15-20 1 " under 5 Absalom Page 1 male 20-30 1 female 20-30 (the last three names were next to each other in this list which was not alphabetical - there were nine names between the first and second names) 1850 p. 429: (Dwelling & Family #664 - taken 25 Oct) Absalom Page - age 34 - b. TN - farmer Elisa " - " 30 - " " George " - " 12 - " " James " - " 9 - " " Clinton " - " 3 - " " John " - " 1/12(?) " " p. 430: (Dwelling & Family #669 - taken 25 Oct) Henry Page - age 18 - b. TN (living with William Ellis & family) p. 436-437: (Dwelling & Family #773 - taken 31 Oct & 1 Nov) Vinson Page - age 35 - b. NC - carpenter - Real Estate: $100 Sarah " - " 27 - " TN William " - " 10 - " " Joshua " - " 8 - " " Poll " - " 7 - " " (female) John " - " 5 - " " Frances " - " 2 - " " Sarah " - " 1 - " " Mary Legate - " 14 - " IL p. 444: (Dwelling & Family #881 - taken 12 Nov) Gilmon Page - age 23 - b. TN - laborer (living with George & Sarah Robertson) It is also interesting that several CHERRY families, b. in NC, lived close to these families in the 1850 Census. Remember that a Levi CHERRY's land was next to the land that William PAGE (J-2-1) purchased from Thomas H. HALL in 1802. (See Footnote #4 in Part #38) The 1830 Census Index of Ohio shows a Vincent Page in Hamilton Co., but he is not there in the 1840 census. The 1840 Census Index shows Vincent Page and James Page in Wabash Co., but they are gone by 1850. This is not to state that these Vincents belong to the NC line....only to point out that the name appears in those counties. Hopefully, more research will determine whether any of these PAGE men are (or are not) descendants of this NC line. CAUTION In this treatise, I have attempted to lay out the known facts about this branch of the Goochland Co., VA PAGE family from what records are available to me at this time. Much is to be learned about the various John, Joseph and Williams of approximately the same generation in order to determine their correct placement in the family of this John PAGE, Sr.. Using only the official records available to me at this time, I have attempted to give a few ideas of possible placement. Other stories have been written about the family of this John PAGE and his wife, Hannah, but serious questions remain about the accuracy of some of them. A few ideas of the possible composition of their family and those of their children have been given in this work, but these are by no means conclusive and are my own as formulated from the NC deed and census records as explained heretofore. Please take them only as "ideas" and search out the truth for yourselves. Don't take the word of any one source as being the absolute truth in claiming ancestors as your own. We, as genealogists, do the best that we can to prove each generation; but, even as careful as we try to be, errors can creep in. Records can be copied or interpreted incorrectly. Keep an eye out for books, articles, county histories and family write-ups on your families. Family stories that come down the generations can be flawed, but they almost always have some elements of truth in them to help us in our work. Hardly any printed work has been without some errors that come back to haunt the author. These, compared with actual county, State and local records, all weighed together will help you make more educated decisions in your work. It is hoped that others who have differing ideas on the connections offered here will come forth and state them for discussion on PAGE-L and that those who have information on more descendants of the persons covered here will post their material for the benefit of the rest of us. I have more information on most of the families covered here and on many other early Virginia PAGE families, but I have taken up enough time and it's now the time for others to come forth and post their information. I will be glad to try to answer any questions anyone cares to ask on these families by personal E-Mail or on the List (depending upon how it is received); but no one person has all the answers. Perhaps, if I don't have the answer, I can steer you to someone who does or who is also working on the same branch of the family that interests you. Like many of you, I have lots more to learn about these families.... so please share your information with me and the others on this List. Genealogy is a fascinating hobby. It brings history alive and gives us a knowledge and appreciation of the times and lives of our ancestors. Solving the problems of lineages is like putting a puzzle together and solving mysteries. Traveling to their lands brings "tingles" to us to know that we are where others of our flesh and blood have trod and toiled. After all, we are a part of each member of our family who came before us. Enjoy the search! next - ERRATA (the last post in this series) I'm surely glad that I didn't plan to write a book!!!!! Never did I dream that it would be this long!!!

Hi Roger, Glad I could help. I don't think I mentioned it in my response, but I, too, am descended from the HOYT family, twice, I believe. First, I am descended from John and Frances HOYT's daughter, Frances (wife of Anthony COLBY). Their daughter, Mary COLBY married (1st) Theophilus GRIFFIN. My line descends through their son Theophilus, Jr. As a matter of fact, now that I am sitting here writing this, I just realized that this line converges with my second line at the point where the PAIGE Family Bible (my recent acquisition) comes into the picture. 1. John HOYT m. Frances __?__ 2. Frances HOYT m. John COLBY 3. Mary COLBY m. (1st) Theophilus GRIFFIN, Sr. 4. Theophilus GRIFFIN, Jr. m. Hannah FOWLER 5. Lydia Ruth GRIFFIN m. David OSGOOD 6. Mary OSGOOD m. Samuel PAIGE, Jr. 7. Osgood PAIGE m. Martha W. BLAISDELL (My 3rd great-grandparents and in-laws of the Bible's original owner, Ruth S. (Felch) PAIGE). Martha W. BLAISDELL was the daughter of Samuel BLAISDELL and Joanna HOYT. Joanna was the daughter of Samuel HOYT and Joanna WELLS. Samuel was a son of Abner HOYT and Joanna CRAFT. Abner was a son of Abner HOYT and Hannah EASTMAN. Abner was a son of Benjamin HOYT and Mary COLLINS. Benjamin was a son of Benjamin HOYT and Hannah PILLSBURY. Benjamin was a son of Thomas HOYT and Mary BROWN. (Thomas and Frances Hoyt COLBY were siblings). Thomas was a son of John HOYT and Frances __? __. Do we share any ancestors in common? Do you have any info beyond John HOYT, a settler of Salisbury, MA? In answer to your question regarding my e-mail address and whether or not I am a Mayflower descendant - the truth is I just don't know! Until yesterday, I believed I was descended from Mary WINSLOW (wife of John PAIGE; great-grandparents to Osgood PAIGE listed above). Based on information found in the History of Weare by Wm. Little, I also thought the same John PAIGE/PAGE was the son of Joseph PAGE (Samuel/Watertown, MA; John/Dedham, England). It now appears that Mr. Little made a 'slight' error in calculating Joseph's father. It happens! Vital Records prove conclusively that Joseph's father was NOT Samuel PAGE of Watertown. Thanks to Mr. George W. Page (and a book he cited, "The Family Of John Page of Haverhill, MA, A Comprehensive GeneaIogy from 1614 to 1977" by Lynn M. Case and Paul Sanderson) I now know that Joseph's father was indeed Onesiphorus PAGE, who was the son of John PAGE of Haverhill (quite a different person from the other John PAGE). I also discovered that Mary WINSLOW is actually Mary WINSLEY. So, I really don't know where I stand at this moment. I do know that I have a tremendous amount of research ahead of me! I do have a slight 'connection' to the Mayflower passengers (though many of my forebears arrived in the Winthrop Fleet) through my step great-grandmother, Agnes ALDEN, (1st wife of my great-grandfather, Rev. William Osgood PEARSON (grandson of Osgood PAIGE above). I know, that's really stretching it, but I would love to find all the information I can for my Mom's half-cousin, Rev. Alden W. PEARSON. He and his wife share my interest in genealogy and I try to share all I find with them. I have another reason for my desiring the lineage of Agnes ALDEN. Her son Albert William PEARSON (my grandfather's half-brother) was the first husband of my grandmother, Marian Elizabeth RYAN of NJ. Albert died in the Influenza Epidemic in 1918 (a week after his infant daughter), leaving my grandmother physically unwell and spiritually broken. At the end of W.W.I, Albert's youngest brother George (my grandfather), upon his return to the United States from Europe, called on his brother's widow to pay his respects. Grandpa was smitten with Marian immediately, but it took Marian a while to get over Albert. George and Marian eventually married. Although my grandmother dearly loved my grandfather, she always held a spot for Uncle Albert in her heart. In fact, she is even buried next to him! I want to know about the man who my grandmother never fully 'got over'. Well, Roger, I'm sure never expected all this when you sent your e-mail! Sorry, I sometimes get carried away! As for my e-mail address. Pilgrim was a nickname from school! Congratulations on receiving your Mayflower Society membership certificate. I'm sure, you must be flying high right about now! Who is your Mayflower ancestor? Look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Pam

The families mentioned in the Bible were from the following locales: Original Bible Owners: Samuel Blaisdell PAIGE (b. Weare, NH) m. Ruth S. FELCH (b. Francestown, NH) This family moved to California. Samuel's parents: Osgood PAIGE (b. Weare, NH; his folks from Salisbury, MA) m. Martha W. BLAISDELL (b. Weare, NH). Her father (Samuel Blaisdell, b. Newbury, MA) sold their farm in Weare and moved his family to Hopkinton, NH, and later to Manchester, NH. Martha's mother (Joanna HOYT) was from Hill, NH. Joanna's parents (Samuel Hoyt & Joanna WELLS) were from Weare and Hopkinton, NH. Ruth's parents: Amos FELCH (b. Francestown, NH) m. Betsey KELLY (b. Deering, NH). The parent's of Betsey (Moses Kelly and Elizabeth FLING) were from Amesbury, MA. I have no location for either John L. ADAMS (possibly John Le Adams), or Albert W. BROWN.

This is one I have not heard of before. I have a branch of my family from Weare (Dow, Hoyt, etc). Could you give me more info on this book (author, complete title, publication date)? >> Hi Roger, Mary Beth, and everyone, I have found the information regarding the 'book' entitled "Genealogies of Families in Weare." I apologize for misleading so many citing the book above. I had copied a few pages from this book while visiting the Public Library in Weare, NH last summer. I thought I had also copied the Title page (with all the important info, like author, publisher, etc.); however, I have searched through my files (which now need to be organized more than they ever have), only to come up empty handed! So, in an effort to find the information you have requested, I called the Library in Weare this morning and spoke with a most helpful lady. She explained that the pages I had copied with the words 'Genealogy of Families in Weare, was not the title of the book, but rather a section of a much larger book entitled "The History of Weare, NH, 1735-1888" by William Little. It was originally published by the Town of Weare in 1888. The librarian gave me an address and phone # of the resource they used to purchase their reprinted copy in 1993 (at a cost of $100.00) The address is: Kimball Hill Farms Attn: Paul Henderson 550 Penacook Rd. Hopkinton, NH 03229 Phone: (603) 746-3396. This book can also be purchased on CD from Family Tree Maker/Broderbund. It is CD # 117, and sells in the their catalog for $19.99. I hope this helps to clarify the mess I made of things. And Mary Beth, I'm sorry I wasn't much help to you yesterday. I just didn't know the answer! Hope you all find this information useful.

I hope this is useful to you. Good luck with your research. Sincerely, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com

` Hannah PAGE md. Sherwood HARRIS (J-4) Hannah's birthdate is not known. Her birth is not recorded in the Douglas Register, so she was no doubt born before her parents moved to Goochland Co., VA. She md. Sherwood/Sherard HARRIS in Goochland Co. on 16 Dec 1761.(1) The Goochland Co. records are full of HARRIS references. There appear to have been two Sherwood HARRIS men in this county at the same time. The older man of this name evidently left Goochland Co. about 1756 and settled in Granville Co., NC where he died in 1763. William R. TAYLOR of Lyme, CT has done extensive research on this HARRIS family.(2) The younger Sherwood HARRIS who md. Hannah PAGE evidently did not own any land in Goochland Co., VA, but he was involved in two court cases there. In one of the cases, John PAGE and Joseph HODGES gave bail for him.(3) In the other, his father-in-law, John PAGE, Sr., alone gave bail for him.(4) The court records also show that this Sherwood HARRIS and Thomas STARKE appeared at the June 1765 court and proved a deed from William PAGE to John PAGE.(5) No deed appears in the Goochland Co. deed books for it, but John PAGE, Sr. later sold this land to William Britt in 1767.(6) Sherwood may have left Goochland Co. at the same time as his PAGE in-laws did, but Hannah was pregnant and probably stayed behind until he could get settled in their new home. He was last taxed in Goochland Co. in 1767, but he does not appear in the 1768 lists. Hannah was still there when their third child, Hannah, was born and baptized in 1768. Mr. Taylor reports that he does not know where they went after that but, in 1797, this Sherwood HARRIS was said to be of Wake Co., NC and, in 1800, he sold some land there and was said to be "of Richmond Co.". His will was probated in Anson Co., NC. According to Mr. Taylor, Sherwood and Hannah (PAGE) Harris had five children. Most of the following information is from him. J-3-1 "Franky" HARRIS (female) Her birthdate was not given, but the date of 25 Jan 1763 was given for her baptismal date by Mr. Taylor. She md. Isaac J. EASON, but no date was given. J-3-2 John HARRIS He was b. 3 Apr and bp'd 26 May 1765 in Goochland Co., VA.(7) He was md. ca. 1790 to Nancy, dau. of William WILLIAMS (place not given). This couple had twelve children, one of whom died young. One of their sons was given the first name of PAGE and four of their children md. into the WILLIAMS family. John and Nancy were in Hale Co., AL by 1817 and John is buried there in the HARRIS Cemetery near Akron. J-3-3 Hannah HARRIS She was b. 19 Jan and bp'd 27 Mar 1768 in Goochland Co., VA.(8). She md. Reddick DEAN. J-3-4 Mary HARRIS She was b. 1 Mar 1771 and md. Dudley WILLIAMS. They died in Henderson Co., TN. J-3-5 Archibald HARRIS He was b. 3 Feb 1774 in Wake Co., NC and md. Susanna WILLIAMS. He was a minister. Hannah (PAGE) HARRIS died sometime between 1774 and 1777 and Sherwood md. 2) Elizabeth ? (who was possibly the dau. of William WILLIAMS). They had six more children and most (if not all) of them were born in Wake Co., NC. Elizabeth, the 2nd wife, died in 1846 in Pickens Co., AL where some of her children had settled. This WILLIAMS family may have been related to the Goochland Co., VA family of the same name. Members of that family migrated to NC in the mid-1700's along with a number of other Goochland Co., VA families. NOTES (1) Douglas: 25. The groom's name is entered as Sherard Harris. (2) This information is from William R. Taylor of Old Lyme, CT. Mr. Taylor has done extensive research on this HARRIS family of Goochland Co., VA and NC. His wife is a descendant of Sherwood and Hannah (PAGE) Harris. An article written by him on the HARRIS Family can be found in THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST, Vol. 22, #4 (1978), p. 261-270. It seems that there were many men with the first name Sherwood in the various HARRIS families. (3) Rutherford-Court: 6. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 9, p. 246) This was a case of debt brought by Alexander Baine, a merchant in the area, at the Dec 1763 court. The case was dismissed at the Feb 1764 court. (4) Rutherford-Court: 8. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 11, p. 7) This was a "Trespass on the Case" suit with James George as the plaintiff introduced at the Jan 1767 court. John Page, Sr. gave bail for the defendant, Sherwood Harris, and the case was continued to the next court. However, I found no further disposition of this case in these records. (5) Rutherford-Court: 7. (Goochland Co., VA Court Order Bk. 10, p. 1) (6) Rutherford-Deeds: 8. (Goochland Co., VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 117) The 150 acres that John's son, William, evidently sold back to him (per the previous court record) was included in the 250 acres sold to William Britt. The remaining 100 acres had evidently been redeemed by John Page, Sr. when his son, John Jr. had mortgaged it. (7) Douglas: 208.

Dolores encouraged me to post these notes to the mail-list that I had sent to her in response to Part #39: Dolores, As you know, I don't document well. Here's what I wrote to myself: !A will of a John Page dated Aug. 18, 1837 in Martin Co., North Carolina names children Kenneth, Eason, daughter Patsey Daniel, and wife Martha. (From Carolina Pages Vol III pg. NC48) Comment: There's no doubt in my mind that this John of Martin Co. NC md Martha Eason. What I am doubtful of is whether this John was the son of John and Unity (Harris) Page, though he is claimed to be. I have tentatively shown him as their son, only because I found record in Martin Co. of a Vincent Page., who I felt was probably the brother. I wish you had given me your lecture about proper documentation about 30 years ago. Here's what I wrote to myself about "Venson": !Name also appears as Vinson, or Vincent. He probably moved to Martin Co., North Carolina where records show a Vincent Page. (e.g. 1784 census Martin Co. Vincent Page 1 wm 21-60, 1 wm under 21, 2 wf - see Carolina Pages Vol III pg. NC 42) This is probably the Vincent Page who served in the Rev. War from the Newbern district of North Carolina. See NC DAR (1932) #1082. >From Vol III pg. NC 29: 1795 (?) John Page mar Martha Eason, daug of Isaac Eason (from "Friends of Edgecombe Co." and "Wills of Edgecombe Co, NC") 13 Mar 1805 - John Page bought from Isaac Eason 30 acres of land on Meadow Branch that John Page/Martha live on..... You're probably aware that some have claimed the John Page of Duplin and Edgecombe Co's NC was the "real" son of John and Unity. Some have asserted he was the same John as the one in Martin Co. with the argument "How many John Pages marry Martha Easons??" If so, then John was a Rev War vet, as was Vincent. John, Thomas, and Jacob Page appear in Edgecombe 1790 censuses. A John was in 1800 census for Pitt Co., and 1820, 1830 in Edgecombe Co., etc. This conflicts with the notion that John was on the censuses for Martin Co. for some of those same years. A mess. Clearly more than one John involved, but that does not preclude the possibility that John and Martha were in both localities. Incidentally, there is a prevalent story that the John who md Unity left her in NC about 1787 and went to GA "with the family bible" and that he died in GA. I never found anyone with any info from that bible! Seems like Merritt Page made a trip down there to see what he could find.... Dan Page dpage@ipa.net

I had sent the following to Dolores in response to her posting, and she encouraged me to post the info to the mail-list: Dolores, I'm still trying to muddle through the Johns and Josephs in NC. Your recent postings have focused my attention on them again. My theory is that the Joseph you're describing here was not necessarily the son of John and Unity, but rather the "missing" brother of John. That explanation would also fit all your evidence, and would help explain, because of his age, why he would be hard to find after 1800. e.g. Consider the 27 Apr 1774 Pitt Co. deed where Joseph Page bought 280 acres (someone else told me it was 300 acres) from George Evans. Then consider probable birth dates for any Joseph who was a son of John and Unity, say 1757 - 1766. Such a son would have been only age 8 - 17 in 1774, and unlikely to be buying that 280 acres... If this is correct, it should immediately be mentioned that the older Joseph also had a son named John, so any references to a John in Pitt Co. etc, must be viewed with great uncertainty as to which one he was. The John who md Martha Eason was all over NC, and would be of an age to match Joseph's son John. If the older Joseph was indeed in Pitt Co. initially, as I think, then it might be hard to separate the two young Johns in records. However, I'm in agreement that John who md Unity also had a SON Joseph. That is clearer considering: This younger Joseph then in Sampson Co. apparently died bef 5 Dec 1805; a deed there of that date mentions John Page of Hanover Co., BROTHER of Joseph Page, who sold to John Johnson of Sampson Co. for $27 his interest in the land owned by Joseph, deceased. (I haven't seen that document but have been assured it says brother..) (A Joseph Page married Elizabeth Bland Jan. 23, 1797 in Duplin Co., North Carolina. William Bland Sr. was bondsman for her marriage, and was probably her father. On July 24, 1801, Sampson Co., North Carolina, Joseph and John Page bought 180 acres of Sara Bland's father's estate in the counties of Sampson, New Hanover, and Duplin Co.'s. Wit'd by Morris Fennell and Rachel Bland.) Then, John of New Hanover, died there - will dated 27 Dec 1843. As you can see, there is a powerful argument that the John who was a brother of Joseph, both being sons of John and Unity, died abt 1843 in New Hanover. The John who died 1843 was not the one who md Martha Eason, for Martha was remarrying about 1841. To make it still clearer, 29 Dec 1835 New Hanover Co., John Page sold 724 acres on Bulltail Swamp, etc. In 1838 John Page >>Jr.<< assessed taxes on on 492 acres on Bulltail Swamp. So, that would raise the question "Who was the John whose will was 1837 in Martin Co., who md Martha Eason?" One obvious possibility is that the latter was the son of Joseph, the brother of the John who md Unity, though you have shown him, as others have, as the son of John and Unity - I wouldn't swear who is right, but do feel people ought to be strongly cautioned, unless you see something additional. The John d 1837 is consistently shown with a son Charles. However, Charles was the administrator of the estate of the John d 1843, and isn't mentioned in the will of the John d 1837!! Looks to me like people definitely have the two young Johns tangled. The Carolina Pages book consistently shows the John Page d 1837 as the son of John and Unity, and refers to him a couple places as "John Page Jr." though it isn't clear in these cases whether the "Jr." was someone's assumption or whether the document referred to contained the "Jr." - I suspect the former. In defense of the author, Robert E. Page, of the book Carolina Pages, he essentially just compiled all the info submitted to him by many contributors, and it is very unlikely that it was possible for him to have verified such a massive amount of data. Nonetheless, the book is a goldmine of info for those having Page-connections in North Carolina. I've seen queries posted on Owen Page, Bennett Page and other Pages which I suspect are are probably answered in that book, though I've not studied those families... Last I correspondence I have from Robert was early 1993 just after he had been reassigned to Europe. Had an APO address then, and he's probably reassigned by now. At that time he was assigned to the 54th AST (Planning Detachment). The military locator system might find his current address, but I don't know anyone who has access to it. (Later note: Robert may be retired. Can't find him or his kids. He was on the war-planning team in Germany. If still there he's probably very busy) Dan Page dpage@ipa.net
