This is a correction on the distances in the following paragraph. (I read the wrong map scale!) According to my map, Rattlesden is indeed in county Suffolk, about 8 miles SE of Bury St. Edmunds and 5 miles West of Stowmarket. Worlingham is in county Norfolk, about 8 miles West of Lowestoft on the coast. George W. Page __________ At 07:51 PM 5/31/1999 -0400, you wrote: > >-----Original Message----- >From: George W.

Hi Barbara, It never hurts to try a long shot. You know the saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Let's see if this pays off for you. You asked about the entries for ADAMS and BROWN. Here's what I have: John L. ADAMS - m. Jane P. FELCH (b. 9/10/1810; d. 6/8/1855) - 6/12/1832. Albert W. BROWN - m. Hannah D. FELCH (b. 5/29/1824; d. ?) - 9/23/1846. Both FELCH girls (above) were sisters of Ruth S. FELCH, the original owner of the Bible. Their parents were: Amos FELCH and Betsey KELLY (married 9/19/1809). I hope this was helpful. Good luck with your search. Sincerely, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com

Hi Ruth, You're so right - how I would love to hear those stories - if only! I'd be happy to tell you what PEARSONs and BLAISDELLs are listed in the Bible. They are: Martha W. BLAISDELL (b. 1/26/1797; d. 9/7/1851) - m. Osgood PAIGE (b. 2/18/1794; d. 7/18/1877) - 10/1/1816. (My 3rd Great-grandparents.) William Samuel PEARSON (b. 1826; d. 5/13/1885) - m. Sarah Blaisdell PAIGE (b. 5/31/1829; d. ?) - 6/13/1850. (My 2nd Great-grandparents.) Osgood Paige is the son of Samuel PAIGE, Jr., and Mary OSGOOD, and father Samuel Blaisdell PAIGE, husband of Ruth S. FELCH, original owner of the Bible. Martha Blaisdell is the daughter of Samuel BLAISDELL and Joanna HOYT. William Samuel Pearson is the son of Timothy PEARSON and Margaret Sanborn OSGOOD. Sarah Blaisdell Paige is the daughter of Osgood PAIGE and Martha W. BLAISDELL. If these names mean something to you, and you are looking for further information, e-mail me back. I have much info on this line that I will be most happy to share. I hope I have been of some help to you - or to someone! Best of luck with your search. Sincerely, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com

Hi Judy, I apologize for the delay in responding to your request today. It's been a hectic day! You inquired about the following names listed in the Bible: AYER, BLAISDELL, EATON, JACKSON, and YOUNG. Here's what I have: * Louis N. FELCH (female) (b. 2/9/1820; d. 6/4/1894) - m. Moses C. AYER - 11/18/1841 Martha W. BLAISDELL (1/26/1797; d. 9/7/1851) - m. Osgood PAIGE (b. 2/18/1794; d. 7/18/1877) - 10/1/1816 Mary Ann PAIGE (b. 1/26/1819; d. ) - m. George EATON - 1/26/1845 Osgood PAIGE (see above) - m. (2nd wife) Lydia JACKSON - 1/31/1852 Aaron YOUNG - m. Louisa B. PAIGE (b. 7/2/1831; d. 3/14/1893) - 4/25/1852 * The asterisk denotes a child of the Bible's original owner, Ruth S. (Felch) PAIGE and her husband, Samuel Blaisdell PAIGE. Martha W. Blaisdell (daughter of Samuel BLAISDELL and Joanna HOYT) was the owner's mother-in-law. Mary Ann Paige was a daughter of Osgood and Martha Paige and sister to Ruth's husband, Samuel Blaisdell Paige). Osgood Paige (son of Samuel PAIGE, Jr., and Mary OSGOOD) was Ruth's father-in-law and father of Samuel Blaisdell Paige. Louisa B. Paige was a daughter of Osgood and Martha Paige. I hope this information has helped you in some way. If not, I wish you luck in your search. Sincerely, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com

Hi Connie, You're right. As your husband so aptly put it, "You'll never catch a fish if you never throw your line in the water." Wise man! Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that you have even a 'nibble' here today! I'm so sorry. The MOORE I have listed in the Bible is C.J. MOORE, husband of the original owner's daughter, Martha B. PAIGE. They were married 12/7/1865, but it doesn't indicate where! No where in the entries made in this Bible is there a James Daniel Page, nor a Julia Moore. I really wish I could have been a help to you. But keep trying. Listen to your husband - you never know when you'll happen upon just the tidbit of information you are seeking. Keep casting that line into the water! Best of luck, Pam

I wish I could help you out with that one - but, I'm afraid I cannot. I looked through the book in the town of Weare, NH last summer while passing through. I stopped by the town hall requesting information about my family (Paige/Blaisdell/Stevens/Osgood), and the town clerk suggested this book. She brought out an ancient and dilapidated copy and kindly allowed me look through it. Later, when it became obvious that I would need several pages copied, she directed me to the library across the street. There I found another copy of the book (this one in much better condition), from which I made the copies I desired. I also spent a couple of days in Concord, NH at the Historical Society. What a charming place, chock-full of goodies. There I found another book entitled "The History of Weare" which mentioned several of my ancestors. I requested the copies pertinent to my research and never really thought about the books again until this all happened. Now I am curious! I wonder if Bob Bamford at Essex Books can help. Sorry I can't. Let us know if you find a source, okay? Best of luck. Thanks, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com --part1_3f42c9c5.2484a426_boundary--

Hi Dori, You wrote today requesting the information (found in the Paige Family Bible) concerning the following names: ADAMS, BROWN, CARTER, EATON, LIVINGSTON, and MOORE. Here goes: *Jane P. FELCH (b. 9/10/1810; d. 6/8/1855)& John L. ADAMS - m. 6/12/1832 *Hannah D. FELCH (b. 5/29/1824; d. 8/10/1883) & Albert W. BROWN - m. 9/23/1846 *Moses R.

Hi all, Boy, my inexperience is certainly showing! I have just received two requests for Bud's website that I referred to in my response to his message. I should have realized that you listers were not seeing his message to me, only my reply to him! There is so much to learn! I'm sure there must be an easy way to send both the message I receive as well as my response, but it's way above my understanding. So, I'll just stumble on, learning as I go! You are a very patient group of people - for that I am grateful. Bud's website is: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/a/i/Howard-R-Paige/GENE1-0001.html I've only had a chance to view the site briefly, but what I saw impressed me greatly. Bud has obviously put a lot of time and effort into his site. He also mentioned a book that sounds very interesting: "The Family of John Page of Haverhill, MA" by Lynn M. Case and Page Sanderson. Another gentleman (George W. Paige) also cited this particular book in a message. It sounds like a 'keeper' for anyone affiliated with the Paige/Page family. I apologize for my faux pas! I hope you enjoy Bud's website. Sincerely, Pam

The following may help you with your "genealogists' nightmare" of having two different sets of parents for the same person! In looking at the Genealogical Chart (#2) of Charles Nash Page of Point Loma, CA that he prepared in Dec. 1917, I can follow on his chart everything you have below up to the descendants of Samuel and Mary (Osgood) Page who are NOT show on his chart. Tracing both sources back it appears the problem may be the proper identification of the parents of #3. Joseph Page, b. 1667 who m. Elizabeth and ?. I believe that both Charles Nash Page writing in 1917 and, whoever your sources are, are wrong in showing Joseph Page, b. in 1667 to be the son of the Samuel Page, b. in Watertown, Aug. 20, 1633 who lived in Concord and Salisbury, who m. Hannah ? and d. in 1691. To support this thesis I refer you (and all other interested parties) to the excellent work done about the John & Phoebe (Payne) Page line by the eminent genealogist, G. Andrews Moriarty, A.M., LL. B., F.S.A. of the New Historical & Genealogical Society and published by that society as an article titled "The Page Family of Danvers, Mass." in NEH&G Register Vol. 105 in January 1951, pp. 25-32. He shows on p. 27 the children of Samuel 2 Page (John1) of Concord, Mass. b. in Watertown 20:6;1633, died shortly before 11 April 1704. Samuel, he states, m. Hannah __?-__ and settled in Concord. He writes: "On 11 April 1704, all of his children, except Samuel (b. 5 Jan. 1670/1, d. before 11 April 1, 1704, apparently without issue), entered into an agreement with their mother regarding the division of the estate. In this Ebenezer is called 'ye only son of the deceased.' [Middlesex Probate, vol. 7, pp. 397/8.]" The children of Samuel & Hannah Page were listed by Moriarty as: Hannah, b. 10 Feb. 1668; Mildred, b, about 1669; Samuel, b. 5 Jan. 1670/1 - d. bef. 11 Apr. 1704; Ebenezer, b. 17 Jan. 1675/6; Mary; Elizabeth; Sarah; Experience. In the John Page of Haverhill book on p. 23 the author states the following about the Joseph Page who was the son of Onesiphorus, son of John Page, and the father of John Page who m. Mary Winslow (sic) who were the parents of Col. Samuel Page who m. Eleanor Stevens: "3.34 Joseph Page (Onesiphorus, John ) b. 6 Apr. 1670 Salisbury, MA; prob in 1722; m. (1) 12 March 1691, in Salisbury MA, Sarah Smith (dau, of Richard Smith), d. 21 Oct. 1691 Salisbury, MA; m(2) Elizabeth __?__. Joseph signed the Bradbury Petition in 1691 and was a soldier in 1710. [From Salisbury MA VR: Hoyt, Salisbury, MA, 1: 274, 275, 336. 2: 798: NEHGR 8:161.]" One of the 7 listed children of Joseph and Elizabeth Page was 4.70 John Page, b. 17 June 1696. >From p. 28: "4.70 John Page (Joseph, Onesiphorus, John) b. 17 Jun 1696 Salisbury, MA, d. 11 Mar. 1767 Salisbury MA, bur Salisbury Plains Cem.; m. 16 May 1720 Mary Winsley (dau. of Samuel & Catherine Winsley of Salisbury MA), b. 26 May, 1698 Salisbury MA, d. 24 Aug. 1774, bur in same cem. [From Salisbury MA VR; will in NHSP, 38: 289; NH Wills, 666-67; Essex Co MA PR, 310:275; Amsden-Page Bible; Cutter, E MA, 3:2011; Hoyt, Salisbury MA; J. Kirball recs & ltr.]" One of their 10 children listed who were b. in Salisbury is #5.90 Samuel Page, bb. 24 July 1722. Note the spelling of her last name was WINSLEY not WINSLOW which can be verified by checking the Salisbury Vital Records. >From p. 41: "5.90 SAMUEL PAGE (John, Joseph, Onesiphorus, John) b. 24 Jul 1722 Salisbury MA; d. 1 Sep. 1800 Weare, NH, bur in Weare, NH Sugar Hill Cem.; m. (1) 1 Jan. 1747 Eleanor Stevens of Salisbury MA, b. 1725, d. 29 Jan. 1770 Salisbury MA. Res, Salisbury MA, S, Hampton & Weare, NH. ;From Salisbury MA VR; S Hampton NH VR; Weare NH Sugar Hill Cem. Recs; Hillsborough Co NH PR #010527; US Cen 1790 Weare NH, 57; J, Kimball recs.]" There were 7 children listed of which only the last 6 were b. in S,. Hampton. The eldest child was #6.109 Samuel Page, b. 27 Aug 1748 in Salisbury MA, which I quoted to you in my previous message. As I said above, I believe this is another honest mistake of Charles Nash Page in 1916 & 1917 which, unfortunately, was continued by the unsuspecting through the years. There are more than enough references cited to be able to prove conclusively who was the father of your #3 Joseph Page. I have no more information about this subject than what I have posted. Good luck. George W. Page of the George Page of Branford, CT line of Pages.

WOW! You've obviously put a lot of time and effort into it. I have 'zapped' it into my Favorites folder for later perusal. Though I knew some of the family spelled the name Paige with an (i), I always thought our branch spelled it without one. Then last summer I discovered a book entitled 'Genealogies of Families in Weare,' in which my line's surname was spelled PAIGE. I still didn't think too much about it - even posting queries with the name PAGE. It's really amazing the man who purchased the Bible even found me, as he had been searching for PAIGE (the way it's spelled in the Bible). I don't know what made him look at my query, perhaps it was the combination of BLAISDELL/PAGE. But whatever the reason, I am eternally grateful to him! Thanks for the info on Osgood Paige's line of decent. Your the third person who has cited the Haverhill book. I had thought Osgood descended from a different John Paige (born in Dedham, England) who settled in Watertown, MA, and was married to Phebe Paine (info cited in the Weare book mentioned above). I guess I have some rethinking to do! Take care, Pam --part1_dbfb3bcc.24846ef3_boundary--

Hi everyone, I am looking for an Abraham Page who was 61 yrs old in 1850 living in Potter, Yates County, New York. The 1850 census states that he was born in New Hampshire. Abraham was married to a lady named Sophia(don't know her last name, but she was born in New York). Their children are as follows: (1) Isaac, born abt 1821, moved to Wisconsin. (2) Elizabeth, born abt 1823. (3) Nancy, born abt 1825, married a Floyd McDonald. (4) Mary Jane, born abt 1827, married a Henry Fowler. (5) Lucy, born abt 1829, married a Joseph Gleason. (6) George W., born abt 1832, married a Mary Y.. (7) Emily A., borm abt 1835 in Yates County, New York, married 24 Feb 1853 in Yates County, New York to a Hiram F. Witter. She died in 1922 in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon. (8) Levitt C., born 4 Sep 1837 in New York State and died 3 Mar 1921 in Burlington, Calhoun County, Michigan. He married Apama J. Norton. (9) Harrison, born abt 1840 in New York State. (10) Reuben, born abt 1843 in New York State. If anyone can please help me extend this family line, it would be deeply appreciated. I would be willing to share all the information that I have accumulated. Thanks.

The Osgood and Martha (Blaisdell) Paige are recorded in the book "The family of John Page of Haverhill, Mass." by Lynn M. Case and Page Sanderson (p. 99). Your posting caught my attention because of the spelling of Paige with the (i). My Paige line also connects with this line. I can't tell you when the family started using the (i) however my line is first documented with an (i) in about 1771. Osgood's line is shown as follows; John Onisiphorus Joseph John Samuel Osgood & Martha You can find My line at; http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/a/i/Howard-R-Paige/GENE1-0001.html Good Luck, Howard (Bud) Paige

Hi all, Thanks for all your kind comments and requests regarding the Paige Family Bible. I'm working on my responses. Unless otherwise requested, I will be posting my responses to the three mail lists I originally posted my offer to - as well as to each of you personally. Those lists are: the PAGE-L, the NORTHEAST-ROOTS-L, and the ESSEX-ROOTS-L mail lists. I am new to these lists, and am rather 'green' regarding etiquette, so please bear with me. My intent is to share this information with those who may have a connection to this family. Thanks for your understanding. Sincerely, Pam Pamela Rhett Molzan Pilgrimpjm@aol.com

It does a better job of documenting sources than does many such books! The sources appear to be based primarily upon the Vital Records of the cities they lived in. In New England the VR are very good and very old!

Hello George! I would be very excited to hear if the book that you mention documents the sources of John Page's heritage. As another descendant this would be wonderful to find.

` Joseph PAGE (J-3) Joseph's birthdate is unknown and we can only guess that he was born sometime before 1740. He first appears in the Goochland Co., VA "Tithable Lists" in 1760 in his own household. However, because these early lists are incomplete and the 1758 tax list is not available, he may have been taxed somewhere before that date. The "Tithable Lists" show that Joseph was taxed in this county through 1767 and he disappears from there after that date.(1) He was md. in 1758, so a more realistic date for this birth would be around 1740 or before. He md. Elizabeth STEVENTON on 13 Apr 1758 in Goochland Co..(2) She may have been related to Jeanie/Jean/Jeny STEVENTON/STEVENS wife of Joseph's brother, William. Just where this STEVENTON family lived is not clear. Because the only other Joseph PAGE in this county at this time was Joseph PAGE (E-10), the son of Exolheath PAGE (E), and that one was only six years old at the time, this older Joseph is most certainly the Joseph PAGE who was the defendant in the court case "David Ross, assignee of Johnson Hodges vs. Joseph Page" called "On Petition" in May of 1762 in which Joseph pleaded that he was an "infant under the age of twenty-one years" when he signed the note. Despite this, the plaintiff won a judgement of three English pounds and court costs against him.(3) Most of these court records give very little information about the cases, so we are most often left in the dark as to what the cases involved. In several other cases involving this Joseph PAGE, his father gave "security" for him. It was customary in those days for the court to require that, in some cases, the defendant was required to have someone else give security for him in case he skipped out and didn't show up in court to answer the charges. These cases against Joseph PAGE were later dismissed. The last time that Joseph is mentioned in the court records was at the Sept 1767 Court.(4) There are no deeds whereby Joseph owned any land in Goochland Co., VA although he witnessed a deed dated involving his father in 1758. Joseph was listed as a neighbor of George SOUTHERLAND in a deed dated 1763.(5) If he was a neighbor of SOUTHERLAND's, he had to be living on some other land owned by his father. The next record found for this Joseph PAGE is dated 1774 in Pitt Co., NC. In that year, he purchased 300 acres on the south side of Briery Swamp from George EVANS.(6) I feel that it is this Joseph and not the son of William PAGE (J-1) who would have only been eighteen years old at this time.(7) Likewise, this could not have been the son of John & Unity PAGE (J-2) as that Joseph would not have been of age to purchase land. In 1786, Joseph sold 100 acres of this land to his brother, Melchisdeck PAGE, in 1786.(8) The other 200 acres of the land was sold by his heirs to Peter MAYO in 1802.(9) Joseph appears in the 1790 Census of Newbern District, Pitt Co., NC as follows: Joseph PAGE (p. 146) 3 white males 16+ 1 " males -16 6 females He appears in the 1800 Census of Pitt Co., NC as follows: Joseph PAGE (p. 270) 1 white male 45+ 2 " males 10-16 3 " " 0-10 1 female 26-45 He does not appear in the 1810 Census of that county and probably died sometime before the 1820 Census was taken. Joseph PAGE and his wife are known to have the following children (not necessarily in this order): J-1-1-1 John PAGE J-1-1-2 William PAGE From the above census records, they may have had at least three more son and five daughters.

Congratulations Pamela! Are you aware that Osgood PAGE is descended from John Page (b.c. 1614 near Hingham (sic), Norfolk(sic), England) of Haverhill, MA? His line is well documented in a book, "The Family of John Page of Haverhill, Mass, A Comprehensive Genealogy From 1614 to 1977" by Lynn M. Case and Paul Sanderson. I have a copy of the book in my possession. I have had correspondence with other researchers of this line who have identified the English origins and ancestry of this emigrant: He was the son of Thomas & Cicely Page who were m. Oct. 4, 1607 in Rattlesden, Norfolk, England. The emigrant was however b. in Worlingham, Suffolk, England, not in Norfolk county as formerly believed. Osgood PAGE, b. 18 Feb. 1794 the son of Samuel (Samuel; John; Joseph; Onesiphorus; and John) PAGE, appears in the book ("The Family of John Page of Haverhill, Mass, A Comprehensive Genealogy From 1614 to 1977" by Lynn M. Case and Paul Sanderson, 1978) on pp. 63 & 99. On p. 63 he is listed as the 11th and youngest child of Samuel & Mary (OSGOOD) PAGE. Samuel was b. 27 Aug. 1748 in Salisbury, MA, m. 30 Nov. 1769, d. 25 Jan. 1826. He was a Rev. War Vet. Samuel's write-up states the name was often spelled PAIGE. Samuel & Mary Page's children were b, in Weare, NH [Sources cited: Salisbury Vital Records; Weare, NH Vital Records]. On p. 99 he is shown as the head of his family. He m. Martha W. Blaisdell (dau. of Samuel Blaisdell), b. 6 Jan. 1797 in Weare, NH. They Resided in Weare & Manchester, NH. Eight children are listed: Samuel, b. 28 Jul 1817, m. Ruth Feltch (sic) of Newbury, NH; Mary A., b. 26 Jan. 1819, m. George Eaton; Betsey, b. 19 Feb. 1822; Harman, b. 26 Oct. 1823 - d.y.; Lucretia, b. 31 Aug. 1825 - d.y.; Martha, b. 17 Dec. 1826 - d.y. ; Sarah, b. 31 Jan. 1829; Louisa, b. 2 Jul. 1831. George W.
