I am looking for information on Robert Page (b.1604 Ormsby, Norfolk) and his ancestors. I seem to be stopped here. Any information would be gladly accepted. Stan Page stan_page@bigfoot.com

It has come to my attention that information has been in circulation that I have connected the John PAGE whose will was proved in Laurens Co., SC to the Goochland Co., VA families. Two of the sons of this John migrated to Warren Co., KY before settling elsewhere. I have NEVER at any time even thought or suggested such a connection. I have carefully reviewed all of my messages to anyone or any BB on this John and found absolutely no reference which even vaguely suggests that I had any idea that there was a connection to the Goochland Co. bunch. In fact, ALL of the messages that I've ever sent involving this John have emphasized that I felt that he was absolutely NOT a member or descendant of the Goochland Co., Va families. Some of our families DID go to NC and SC, but this John PAGE was not of that bunch. As for the Robert PAGE/Rachel BROCKMAN descendants, my collection of information on them after they left VA has mainly come from the researchers of that family who have concentrated on that line and I, too, have never even thought that your John could belong to that family. In November of 1987, there was a message on PAGE-L sent by "Elciedees" ---who did not post her full name---stating: "I am looking for information on John Page b. 1783 in Laurens, SC. He was the son of a John and Anna Page. Information that I have indicates that he was married to Mary 'Polly' Eubanks (dau of William Eubanks) ca. May 1806 in Warren Co., KY. He died 16 Nov 1849 in Caldwell Co., Tx. I am a descendant of his son, Robert Page b. 12 Jan 1834 Gibson Co., TN." Perhaps it was this message that people saw and thought that the John and Anna PAGE were the same people as the John and Hannah PAGE who went to NC from Goochland Co., VA....which they certainly were not!!! Maybe they attributed that message to me instead of to "Elciedees". After seeing the above message and receiving inquiries about this John PAGE from some other persons, I referred them to the author of the above message and to Robert E. Page of Florida.. I simply do not know how anyone to whom I have corresponded on this family could come to the conclusion that it was ME who made such claims ....it had to be someone else. Someone has their sources incorrect. I am so careful about sending out information on lineages and, to have something like this circulating around, is very upsetting. Not that I can't make a mistake at times....it happens to the most careful of persons. But I'd surely like to get this cleared up....the reason for this post. I don't mind taking the blame for my own errors, but do not like being blamed for those made by others. Dolores

Your Benjamin Page who m. Elizabeth Hobbs in 1788 appears with their children: Daniel Page (bapt. May 2, 1790); Benjamin Page (b. Rochester, NH on July 20, 1794, m. Huldah Hussey in 1824) and Joseph Page (b. July 11, 1802) on Genealogical Chart No. 6 of the Page Family, published by Charles Nash Page of Point Loma, CA in Jan. 1918 (Library of Congress: CS71.P133, 1917). This chart contains the known ancestry and Page descendants of the immigrant Robert Page who m. Lucy Wadd/Ward that were found by Charles Nash Page during his research. This same chart shows descendants of Benjamin & Huldah (Hussey) Page's second son, W.E. Page (b. Rochester, May 28, 1827, lived Boston, MA, d. Aug. 22, 1888) and his wife Nancy K, Jenkins, but none for their first son, Daniel Page. It also shows the parents of Benjamin Page (b. June 24, 1761-d. Nov. 3, 1838) to be Daniel Page (b. June 4, 1732; lived in Rochester, NH; Lieut. in the Rev. War; m. in 1753) and wife Abigail (Dame) Page. This Daniel Page was the son of Joseph & Sarah (Moulton) Page. Joseph was b. Nov. 25, 1686 and they were m. in 1721. Joseph Page was the son of Frances and Meribah (Smith) Page. Frances Page was b. about 1633 in Ormsby, county Norfolk, Eng., He immigrated with his parents, Robert & Lucy Page. Frances died in Hampton, NH on Nov. 15, 1706. This same chart shows the immigrant to be the son of Robert Page and his wife Margaret Goodwynge (Goodwin) who he m. on July 16, 1598. They moved from Acle Parish to Ormsby St. Margaret about 1600 and he died in Ormsby in July 1617. There children are show on his chart to be: Robert (b. 1604) the immigrant; Thomas (b. 1606) that he incorrectly states probably settled in Saco, ME (a thesis of my book is that the Thomas Page who settled in Saco was of my Kentish Page line); Rebecca (b. 1608); Henry (b. 1610); and Francis (b. 1612). An article by George Walter Chamberlain, M.S. of Malden, MA, "The English Ancestry of Robert Page of Hampton, N.H." appeared in the April 1912 issue of the New England Historical & Gynecological Society Register on pp. 180-183. Hope this helps. Col. George W. Page, U.S. Army (Ret.) 1100 Cataway Place Bryans Road, MD 20616 (301)283-2275 gwpage@erols.com

Hello! We're attempting to confirm the lineage of my great, great, great grandfather Daniel Dearborn Page ("Goldrush Banker"). He was senior proprietor of the "Page, Bacon and Company" banking house of San Francisco, Sacramento and St. Louis (1849-1855). Family tradition holds that Daniel Dearborn Page was descended from Robert and Lucy Page who immigrated from Ormsby, England to Hampton, New Hampshire (circa 1637). We have been unable to verify this information. The following facts about Daniel Dearborn Page are certain: -- Father: Benjamin Page (b.24 Jun 1761; d. 3 Nov 1838) -- Mother: Elizabeth Hobbs (m. 1788) -- Born: 5 March 1790 at Parsonsfield, Maine -- Married: Deborah Nash Young (b. 7 Apr 1779; d. 19 Jan 1864) from Scituate, MA (She was a descendant of Mayflower pilgrim Peregrin White) -- Children 1) Francis Wyman Page (b. Nov. 1820; d. 18 Sep 1883); 2) Julia Ann Page (b. 9 Aug 1826) wife of Henry Douglas Bacon (co-proprietor of the "Page, Bacon and Company" banking house). Any information would be appreciated. Much Thanks, David Winslow Page

Dear Page cousins, Thanks for the responses to my first post. Since there seems to be an interest, I will post selected passages from the book, THE PAGE FAMILY: UNIQUE ROUTE FROM VIRGINIA TO TEXAS, written and compiled by Fae Alice Etheredge in 1975 for your perusal. Since Miss Alice presents the information solely in narrative, I think it would be helpful to you if I were to give you an outline of the first four generations of individuals mentioned in the narrative. Sampson Page fathered 13 children and Melchisedec D. Page fathered 19 children. It is possible that you may be able to find a connection, inasmuch as there were some children about whom Miss Alice had no further information: William PAGE (Progenitor of this line) m. Rhody LANGLEY 1. William Page, Jr. 1. Melchisedec Page 2. Melchisedec Page, Jr. 1. Hannah Page (m. Benjamin McKeel) 1. James Page (died between 1810 and 1820 in NC) m. Rebecca (d. bef 1810) 2. John Page (Bef. 1810 - ?1847) (No information re descendants, if any) 2. Sampson Page (1809-ca. 1870) m. (1) Alla Jane COTTON (1815-abt 1860) 3. John William Page (1837-1894) m.

My Abner PAGE married to Jane PIGMAN. My family records have as his father Thomas Page married to Sarah Coat. I just discovered on Kindred Konnections a file that gives Abner's father as what I believed to be his brother, John who married a Rachel Hartman, and then a Joseph who m a mary as parents. I have been unable to connect with the writer of that information. Thanks Dorothy

I am looking ofr information on Winfred PAGE, married to Flora Girard, father of Rita Mae PAGE. He lived in MA, probably born in mid to late 1800's.

I hope that Pat will post the information on Melchisedec D. PAGE (and his ancestry) for us. Let's give her the encouragement to do so. Dolores

For your information: I checked "North Carolina Wills: A Testator Index, 1665-1900" It lists a will for John Page recorded 1866 in Martin County, NC, WB2/530; and another for John Page,Sr, recorded in 1838 in Martin County, NC, WB2/242. (I am assuming WB2/530 is referring to Will Book II, Page 530, and Will Book II Page 242). BUT.... under Martin County it says....The county courthouse burned in 1885 and, although the recorded will books from the time of the formation of the county survive, original wills probated before 1885 were destroyed.

In a message dated 7/29/98 8:24:45 PM Pacific Daylight Time, MAPAGE@prodigy.net writes: << describes him, as being of wonderful meekness, of a virginal modesty and purity, and of more than common learning and piety, and as having endeared himself to all by his singular candour of mind and sweetness of behaviour. He was condemned for being a priest, under 27 Eliz., c. 2., and was hanged, disembowelled, and quartered. >> ...gentle and learned didn't seem to pay off very well, did it? Connie

Ballentine PAGE of Martin Co., NC, born ca. 1785 (according to his age in the 1850 Census of that county) would have been about 15 yrs. old in the 1800 Census. The only PAGE there with a son of that age was John PAGE (p. 405 of that Census). Going back another ten years (to the 1790 Census), there are two PAGE men with sons of an age to be Ballentine: William PAGE (had 2 white males under age 16) John PAGE (had 1 white male under age 16) William does not show up in subsequent censuses of that county, so that leaves John as the prime suspect! This John PAGE received a Land Grant (#211, Bk. 64, p. 32) of 640 acres in Martin Co. in 1785 which, in it's description, mentions that it borders "Ballentines new Entry" in it's bounds. I do not have the 1820 Census of Martin Co., NC, so cannot check for John PAGE in that one. The 1830 Census shows Balentine PAGE in his own household with a wife and four children (1 female and 3 males), He also appears in the 1840 and, as you said, the 1850 Censuses. In the latter, he and his wife are living with Kenneth PAGE and family--probably his son). The PAGE names found in the earliest Martin Co., NC records are Vincent, William and John (all there by 1784-86, but not before that). These first names fit right into a family of a John PAGE who migrated with his family from Goochland Co., VA to Pitt Co., NC in the 1765-77 time period....and Pitt Co. is right next to Martin Co.. To summarize this whole thing, I think that rather than belonging to the Thomas PAGE of Isle of Wight Co., VA bunch, your Ballentine belongs to the family of this John PAGE of Pitt Co., NC who had four sons all born in Goochland Co., VA. William PAGE, b. 1758 John PAGE, b. 1760 Venson (Vincent) PAGE, b. 1762 Absalom PAGE, b. 1764 Of the above first names, the following also show up in the Martin Co., NC records: William PAGE ) John PAGE ) all there by the 1784 tax list Vincent PAGE ) Absalom PAGE - listed in the 1790 Census with William, John, and Ann PAGE The Pitt Co., NC records have a deed dated 1798 whereby some of the heirs of John PAGE (the one who md. Unity HARRIS in Goochland Co., VA and later moved to Pitt. Co.) deeded their interest in John's land in that county to Alexander Levy. Those who did so were: Absalom Page (of Martin Co., NC) John Page (residence not given) Joseph Page Unity Page (that would be the widow of the deceased John) William Page All of these above (except for Vincent, who was obviously dead by the 1790 Census) are known to have been the widow and sons of the John PAGE who md. Unity HARRIS in Goochland Co., VA (date not known, but before 6 July 1758 when their first child was born). This John and his sons all left Goochland Co. in the mid 1760's. Some of the above is from my personal research (especially that in Goochland Co., VA---which has been my specialty) and part is from the excellent book: "The Page Family in North Carolina, 1685-1850" by Jesse M. Page, Jr. Mr. Page has done a great job in abstracting and publishing PAGE family records all over the State of NC and this book is a MUST for anyone doing research in that State. It will save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in research. If you concur in this lineage (which, of course, should be further proven by wills or some other more concrete records), I can help you with the line back in Goochland Co., VA. I have abstracted ALL of the PAGE records through the early 1800's in that county----deeds, court, probate and tax (births and marriages were done by others). If you are interested in the above book by Mr. Page, I can give you the name and address of the company which sells it. Hope this helps. Dolores

Hello cousins, I am new to this list. My Page line starts with my 2nd great grandmother, Mary Catherine Page (b. 1837 in Greene County, NC- d. 1902 in Groveton, TX). She married twice: First, in the 1850's to James B. Davis in Gadsden County, FL; and second, in 1876 or 1877 to Rev. West, a Baptist minister. She was the daughter of Melchisedec D. Page and Fannie Lewis. I have a copy of a book written and compiled by a cousin, Fae Alice Etheredge, in 1975 entitled THE PAGE FAMILY: Unique Route from Virginia to Texas. In this book, Miss Fae Alice gives short bios on the descendants of Sampson and Melchisedec Page, two of the three orphaned sons of James Page, and describes the migration of the families from North Carolina to Florida and, after the War Between the States, on to Grimes/Waller County, Texas. This monumental task was accomplished WITHOUT the aid of a personal computer. The author of this book is now deceased (according to another cousin who saw the headstone on her grave while visiting a family cemetery) and there is no copywright information in the book. Since she never married and had no children, I do not know whom to contact for permission to copy parts of the book. If anyone is interested in her research, I will gladly submit portions of the book to this list on a regular basis. Chapter One starts with William and James Page of Virginia and North Carolina. Let me know what you want me to do. My email address is llandpa@aol.com. Best regards, Pat
