Dear cousin Ruthannem, et al: Yes, my ancestor Col. Samuel Page, Jr (1788-1863) descended from John and Phoebe (Paine) Page... I have Pheobe / Phebe's name spelled Paine, not Payne in my research notes. I happen to live in Lancaster, MA. My Page descending great-grandmother Alice Mabel (Wool) Lombard (1887-1951) came here to South Lancaster with her husband and children around 1928 (my maternal grandmother was one of those children, she said she was around 4 years old at the time of their move here). My great-grandparnts Lombard had met while my great-grandfather, Samuel Lombard [born Santo Lombardo] was working in an upstate NY mill along Lake Champlain. He'd become disenchanted with the good ole USA and was tring to earn enough money for his passage back to Italy. He had come when he was 17 years old around 1904. He met the pretty young bookkeeper, Alice M. Wool, who took the fairy back and forth from Burlington every day, and fell head over heals in love. Luckily for him she returned his interests and the two were married in December 1908. (Suddenly the New World wasn't looking so bad after all.) By 1917 they had converted to the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) and Samuel Lombard began working as a SDA religious book salesman, focusing on Italian literature for fellow immigrants. The family moved to Hartford, CT area several years later and remained in CT until one of their boys was struck and killed by an automobile when around five years old. My great-grandmother witnessed the entire tragedy and temporarily suffered a nervous breakdown. The doctors advised a new location to reside, somewhere that didn't have so much sentiment attached to it to remind her of her lost boy. So the family moved to South Lancaster, MA where the SDA church has maintained an academy and elementary school since the 1880s and a college since the early 1900s. My grandmother, mother and I are all graduates of this college: Atlantic Union College. If you look at a good Massachusetts map you'll note the very next town north of Lancaster is one Lunnenburg, MA. This little old town was founded by "Gov." Samuel Page and his descendants in the mid 1700s. The town was originally known by the name "Turkey Hills" and then Lunenburg. So, without realizing it, my great-grandmother's move to Lancaster was in a bit of a "coming home" of sorts. I have been to Page St. many times and walked the nearby cemetery, which has many Pages, including "Gov. Samuel Page (1672-1747). Sadly, the old Page homestead that once stood nearby had been lost in a fire a century or more ago. Here is my direct line back to John & Pheobe (Paine) Page: John Charles Schumacher-Hardy (1967-present), born Leominster, MA hospital, son of Donna Elaine (Hardy) Schumacher, Harrod (1943-present), born Clinton, MA hospital, (married first to John O. Schumacher), daughter of Alice Elizabeth (Lombard) Hardy, Bowden (1923-present), born Hamden, CT, (married first to D. Everett Hardy), daughter of Alice Mabel (Wool) Lombard (1887-1951), born Essex, VT, (married Samuel Lombard), daughter of Lewis Michael Wool (1859-1951), born Essex, VT, (married Kate Mae Paine), son of Caroline (Page) Wool 1820-1904), born Essex, VT, (married Michael Wool, Jr), daughter of Col. Samuel Page, Jr. (1788-1863), born Rindge, NH, (married Hannah Drury), son of Samuel Page, Sr. (1747-c1800), born Lunenburg, MA, (married Molley / Mary Towne), son of Lt. Nathaniel Page (1702-1779), born Lunenburg, MA, (married Mercy Sumner Gould), son of "Governor" Samuel Page (1672-1747), born Groton, MA, (married Sarah Lawrence), son of John Page ( 1630-1712), born Watertown, MA, (married Faith Dunster), son of Richard Page (1556-1???), born London, Eng., (married Frances Mudge) So there's the trail back along to my Page lineage. And now I'm soon off to Brattleboro, Vermont... for the semi-annual Dawn Dance (contra dancing from 8 PM clear through to 7 AM)! Happy Memorial Day all, John Schumacher-Hardy :-) On Sun, 27 May 2007 00:32:18 -0700 Ruthanne Page <[email protected]> writes: > Dear cousin John and fellow Page listers: > I have been reading your details of Col.

Ah, finally a mention of "my" Nathaniel Paige! I have been searching for old Nattie's descendants also and have followed down a genealogy to some present day family... all of the female line. I've contacted all I can find - No one seems to know of a male descendant we could check the DNA of... I would give my eye teeth to find one!!! Nathaniel is so difficult - his Bedford/Billerica descendants are well established, including the Cornets who bore the Bedford Flag, the oldest flag in the United States (it still exists and is held in the Bedford Free Public Library, where I would be pleased to show it to you!!! I have written the guidebook on it...) He owned land in Hardwick, btw, and some of his children moved there, but Nathaniel who d 1692 did not reside in Hardwick... I can show you his house here in Bedford. But my big bugaboo is the ancestors of that Nathaniel, and from whence they immigrated. There are various stories all sworn to in the literature - Plymouth, England; Middlesex, England; Boxted, England; Lincoln, England -- I have been to the records offices in all these areas and searched and cannot find him. I think that all of these theories are wrong. Help!! I keep subscribing to Ancestry hoping he will just turn up. The DNA would certainly help. I am eager to correspond with anyone who knows more than I do!!! Please use [email protected] Sharon McDonald Bedford, Mass

Hope this works Does any one know anything about the parents of one Archelaus Page born date not certain sometime between 1800-1810 maybe in St Lawrence Co New York (not certain) he married one Eurana Holmes there in 1825 and moved soon after settling finally in Livingston Co Illinois where he died in 1867with many children. Thanks Anna Page

Birth 1803, New York, Died 1867 Pontiac, Livingston, Illinois. Married to Eurana Holmes, 1825, St Lawrence, New York, 11 children born to this union 9 boys and two girls. Boys are certainly easier to trace. No indication as to who his parents were. Maybe this will give you a start.

Greetings: I have no information regarding "Marty", but I sure do know a lot about Col. Samuel Page. He was my great-great-great-great-grandfather! Col. Samuel Page was born in Rindge, NH on 23 Feb 1788, son of Samuel, Sr. & Molly / Molley (Towne) Page. According to his granddaughter, Alice (Wool) Brown, Monahan, Pilon, he was actually called Seth until he was 12 years old and then took his father's name. She also said Samuel Page, Sr. lived in Litchfield, CT before moving to Rindge, NH (where Samuel, Jr. was born), although I've found no proof of this yet. As early as 1809 / 1810, Col. Samuel Page purchased land in Essex, VT. During the War of 1812 he was stationed near the Canadian border. Among some earlier written Essex, VT records is the following: "Just previous to the war of 1812, Samuel Page, Jr. , an active, energetic business man, located here and gave the locality the name by which it is known, Page's Corners. He kept a tavern for many years on the place occupied by his descendants, established a blacksmith and wheelwright shop in which he did a large and flourishing business. / For many years almost the entire business of the town was transacted here. The annual town meetings were held here from 1805 to 1821. Mercantile and manufacturing business was carried on quite extensively. / Two taverns were in active operation and were quite liberally patronized. A sawmill was built near here about 1800. / / Undoubtedly, the lack of adequate water power and railroads prevented this locality from progressing. (The first settler of this town came from Salisbury, Conn.) [Essex, VT was settled in 1783] The industry and enterprise of Samuel Page, Jr. helped to make this part of the town a place of considerable business. One tavern was conducted by Samuel Page, another was run by Adanijah Brooks. This part of Essex is comparatively unsettled at this time, and it is rather difficult to think of it as being the center of sufficient activity to warrant the upkeep of two taverns. / Samuel Page, Jr. was a colonel in the War of 1812, being stationed between Canada and Vermont at the border town of Highgate to assist in enforcing the Embargo Act. Here he became acquainted with Hannah Drury, daughter of Sarah (Keith) Drury and Abel Drury. They were married [1813] and later came to Essex to reside. Here he built a substantial brick dwelling and became one of the respected and well-liked businessmen of the town of Essex. / He was a staunch Republican, and he and his family were Congregationalists. Although he was proprietor of a blacksmith shop and employed several men, he did little of the actual work in the shop as his time was devoted mostly to his hotel and tavern. / He was always so well-dressed that he was nicknamed by the townspeople "Colonel Slicky." / Caroline Page [one of his daughters] stayed with her grandparents (the Drurys) in Highgate while attending school. The other girls, Hannah, Lizette, Mariette and Sarah attended a girls' school in Burlington. / Lizette Page married Albert Sherman, son of Royal Sherman, who was the manager of traveling shows, marionette shows, etc." Frank Bent wrote the following in his 1963 History of Essex, VT: "At various times the [Pages] corner's businesses included the two taverns, the John Reed tavern becoming the Col. Page tavern and Adonijah Brooks, the Public house; blacksmith shop and wheelwright shop, these were located north of the Col. Page hotel. Col. Page owned the premises of these shops and at times leased them out, and at other times hired men to operate them. Michael Wool had finished his apprenticeship in Burlington and was hired in 1831 by Col. Page to operate the wheelwright shop. Later he became the lessee. It was during this period that he met and courted Col. Page's daughter, Caroline. They were married [1838] and later Mr. Wool built his home south of Bultlers Corner where he carried on a fine carriage trade. ... / Colonel Samuel Page, for whom these corners were named, arrived in town in 1812 [sic, as early as 1809 / 1810]. He bought the tavern on the northwest corner from John Reed. He commenced the building of a new house on the opposite corner. Although horn in Rindge, N. H. in 1788, he spent his boyhood at Pawnal, Vermont. His school chums were Branscom and John Perrigo who came to Essex in 1807. In 1807 we find Ensign Page stationed at Swanton to guard the frontier and prevent violations of the Embargo Act. Swanton was the headquarters whence were sent out squads or parties to intercept smugglers, seize contraband goods and property.

He ordered them to 'heave to' or they would be fired upon. The party did so and surrendered the valuable cargo. The news of the capture spread rapidly. Threats of recapture reached the ears of the intrepid captors. Sixty men, as was afterwards ascertained, were ready to put the threats into execution. The squad determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible if they were attacked, and prepared themselves for the expected encounter. Happily for them orders came to sail the vessel with its cargo to Burlington, thus averting the test of their bravery." Col. Samuel Page died in Essex, VT on 3 May 1863 (76 years 10 months). His grave stone, in Essex, notes that he was born in Rindge, NH in 1788. NOTE: There was another Col. Samuel Page in Vermont and he too was born in Rindge, NH. I know little about him but stumbled upon his death certificate when researching VT records. This other Col. Samuel Page died 11 Apr 1863 (80 years), in Cavendish, VT, only a month prior to my ancestor Col. Samuel Page. This other fellow was the son of "Samuel & Molly H. Page." The 1875 history of Rindge, NH recorded the following about this other Col. Samuel's father: "Samuel Paige was not related to the foregoing families [Page]. He was a brother of the wife of Capt. Solomon Cutler, and was descended from Nathaniel, of Bedford, Mass., a son of Nathaniel, the emigrant. He came to Rindge previous to his marriage, and remained several years, when he moved to Plymouth, Vt. In the few original signatures which I have discovered he spelled his name as here written, but the clerks have generally transcribed the name to correspond with the more numerous families of Page. He md. Nov. 23, 1775, Molley Hutchinson, of Bedford, by whom he had three or more children.

I descend from Col. Samuel & Hannah (Drury) Page via their daughter Caroline (Page) Wool (1820-1904). At least one of her sisters had descendants, but I have not been able to find out what became of their offspring. I welcome correspondence from any other descendants of Col. Samuel Page!

Greetings: I have no information regarding "Marty", but I sure do know a lot about Col. Samuel Page. He was my great-great-great-great-grandfather! Col. Samuel Page was born in Rindge, NH on 23 Feb 1788, son of Samuel, Sr. & Molly / Molley (Towne) Page. According to his granddaughter, Alice (Wool) Brown, Monahan, Pilon, he was actually called Seth until he was 12 years old and then took his father's name. She also said Samuel Page, Sr. lived in Litchfield, CT before moving to Rindge, NH (where Samuel, Jr. was born), although I've found no proof of this yet. As early as 1809 / 1810, Col. Samuel Page purchased land in Essex, VT. During the War of 1812 he was stationed near the Canadian border. Among some earlier written Essex, VT records is the following: "Just previous to the war of 1812, Samuel Page, Jr. , an active, energetic business man, located here and gave the locality the name by which it is known, Page's Corners. He kept a tavern for many years on the place occupied by his descendants, established a blacksmith and wheelwright shop in which he did a large and flourishing business. / For many years almost the entire business of the town was transacted here. The annual town meetings were held here from 1805 to 1821. Mercantile and manufacturing business was carried on quite extensively. / Two taverns were in active operation and were quite liberally patronized. A sawmill was built near here about 1800. / / Undoubtedly, the lack of adequate water power and railroads prevented this locality from progressing. (The first settler of this town came from Salisbury, Conn.) [Essex, VT was settled in 1783] The industry and enterprise of Samuel Page, Jr. helped to make this part of the town a place of considerable business. One tavern was conducted by Samuel Page, another was run by Adanijah Brooks. This part of Essex is comparatively unsettled at this time, and it is rather difficult to think of it as being the center of sufficient activity to warrant the upkeep of two taverns. / Samuel Page, Jr. was a colonel in the War of 1812, being stationed between Canada and Vermont at the border town of Highgate to assist in enforcing the Embargo Act. Here he became acquainted with Hannah Drury, daughter of Sarah (Keith) Drury and Abel Drury. They were married [1813] and later came to Essex to reside. Here he built a substantial brick dwelling and became one of the respected and well-liked businessmen of the town of Essex. / He was a staunch Republican, and he and his family were Congregationalists. Although he was proprietor of a blacksmith shop and employed several men, he did little of the actual work in the shop as his time was devoted mostly to his hotel and tavern. / He was always so well-dressed that he was nicknamed by the townspeople "Colonel Slicky." / Caroline Page [one of his daughters] stayed with her grandparents (the Drurys) in Highgate while attending school. The other girls, Hannah, Lizette, Mariette and Sarah attended a girls' school in Burlington. / Lizette Page married Albert Sherman, son of Royal Sherman, who was the manager of traveling shows, marionette shows, etc." Frank Bent wrote the following in his 1963 History of Essex, VT: "At various times the [Pages] corner's businesses included the two taverns, the John Reed tavern becoming the Col. Page tavern and Adonijah Brooks, the Public house; blacksmith shop and wheelwright shop, these were located north of the Col. Page hotel. Col. Page owned the premises of these shops and at times leased them out, and at other times hired men to operate them. Michael Wool had finished his apprenticeship in Burlington and was hired in 1831 by Col. Page to operate the wheelwright shop. Later he became the lessee. It was during this period that he met and courted Col. Page's daughter, Caroline. They were married [1838] and later Mr. Wool built his home south of Bultlers Corner where he carried on a fine carriage trade. ... / Colonel Samuel Page, for whom these corners were named, arrived in town in 1812 [sic, as early as 1809 / 1810]. He bought the tavern on the northwest corner from John Reed. He commenced the building of a new house on the opposite corner. Although horn in Rindge, N. H. in 1788, he spent his boyhood at Pawnal, Vermont. His school chums were Branscom and John Perrigo who came to Essex in 1807. In 1807 we find Ensign Page stationed at Swanton to guard the frontier and prevent violations of the Embargo Act. Swanton was the headquarters whence were sent out squads or parties to intercept smugglers, seize contraband goods and property. On one of these excursions, while at Windmill Point, Ensign Page, in command of a squad of nine, discovered a boat loaded with potash in full sail for Canada. He ordered them to 'heave to' or they would be fired upon. The party did so and surrendered the valuable cargo. The news of the capture spread rapidly. Threats of recapture reached the ears of the intrepid captors. Sixty men, as was afterwards ascertained, were ready to put the threats into execution. The squad determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible if they were attacked, and prepared themselves for the expected encounter. Happily for them orders came to sail the vessel with its cargo to Burlington, thus averting the test of their bravery." Col. Samuel Page died in Essex, VT on 3 May 1863 (76 years 10 months). His grave stone, in Essex, notes that he was born in Rindge, NH in 1788. NOTE: There was another Col. Samuel Page in Vermont and he too was born in Rindge, NH. I know little about him but stumbled upon his death certificate when researching VT records. This other Col. Samuel Page died 11 Apr 1863 (80 years), in Cavendish, VT, only a month prior to my ancestor Col. Samuel Page. This other fellow was the son of "Samuel & Molly H. Page." The 1875 history of Rindge, NH recorded the following about this other Col. Samuel's father: "Samuel Paige was not related to the foregoing families [Page]. He was a brother of the wife of Capt.

Attached is a scan of my Col. Samuel Page (1788-1863), son of Samuel & Molley (Towne) Page, and another of a picture I took several years ago of his house at Page's Corners, Essex, VT. I descend from Col. Samuel & Hannah (Drury) Page via their daughter Caroline (Page) Wool (1820-1904). At least one of her sisters had descendants, but I have not been able to find out what became of their offspring. I welcome correspondence from any other descendants of Col. Samuel Page!

The line of John Page of Haverhill, MA, who immigrated to New England in 1635 has one Martin Page in the reference book of his line; but he cannot be the Martin Page you are seeking: 8.856 Martin Van Buren Page, b. 15 Jan. 1838 in Bristol, NH, the son of Mitchell Hibbard Page (John6, Josiah5, Jonathan4, Thomas3, Cornelius2, John1 Page) [Lynn M. Case & Page Sanderson,"The Family of John Page of Haverhill, Mass. - A Compreshensive Genealogy From 1614-1977," p. 131] There was a Martin Page, b. 1790, in my line of PAGEs descended from the immigrant George Page of Branford, CT, who arrived c. 1662. I cannot find a Martin Page on the chart of the immigrants John & Phoebe (Payne) Page (who arrived in 1630) prepared by Charles Nash Page in Dec. 1917.

The immigrants and many of their descendants lived in Hampton, NH: <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9753>PAGE, Samuel d: 22 SEP 1759 in Kensington, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9681>PAGE, Samuel b: 3 MAY 1698 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9683>PAGE, Samuel b: BEF 3 OCT 1703 in Hampton, N.H. d: 9 AUG 1774 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9832>PAGE, Samuel b: 1 DEC 1741 in Hampton, N.H. d: 8 DEC 1821 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I3806>PAGE, Samuel b: BEF 3 OCT 1743 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9883>PAGE, Samuel b: 28 MAY 1799 in North Hampton, N.H. d: 1865 in Danvers, Essex, Mass. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I21516>PAGE, Samuel b: 3 APR 1805 <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I1283>PAGE, Samuel b: 3 Mar 1670/71 in Hampton, N.H. d: 4 DEC 1754 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I21328>PAGE, Samuel Herbert b: 17 APR 1867 in Charlotte, Chittenden, Vermont <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I13972>PAGE, Samuel Perkins b: 10 APR 1768 in Hampton, N.H. d: 23 OCT 1843 <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I9954>PAGE, Samuel S. b: 17 AUG 1844 in Hampton, N.H. d: 13 NOV 1866 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I7315>PAGE, Samuel Sherburne b: 22 MAR 1775 in Hampton, N.H. d: 13 MAR 1854 in Hampton, N.H. <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I21055>PAGE, Samuel Smith b: 27 JUL 1827 in Vermont [http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I15532] Another Samuel Page was indexed in the same list: <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampton-nh&id=I15532>PAGE, Samuel [Farnham, Russell C., "The Longfellow Family - Part 2," The Essex Genealogist, " (May 1995), p. 112.] There were no Martin PAGEs indexed! _______ At 11:21 PM 5/22/2007, Ruthanne Page wrote: >Hi Listers: > >Does anyone know any more of the families of these two PAGE men?

Hi Listers: Does anyone know any more of the families of these two PAGE men? They were known by their location under MANY different names (but it was ALL the same place!) Martin PAGE of Claremont NH The History of Alburgh , VT shows one Martin Page who was on the original Town Charter in 1781 and then shows him selling his land in 1782 where he is listed as Martin Page ‘of Claremont, NH’. Col. Samuel PAGE [of the Vermont Militia (?) by 1808] One Col. Samuel Page shown as lighthouse keeper or Customs officer at Windmill Point in this Town (really a Township but NY still calls them ‘Towns’). This is right on the peninsula at the Canadian border in the middle of Lake Champlain. Anyone can contact me for new maps superimposed on the historic maps of Alburgh Town – now in Vermont. History: This area was French for a long time and Point de Detour was the location of the stone windmill was built about 1743. Then it was known and accepted by everybody to be British before the Revolution. The whole area was known as Caldwell Manor and Col. Henry Caldwell leased farms and properties to many settlers. Even after the Revolution numerous jurisdictions were fighting over the area claiming it as ‘theirs’. It was known as Bennington Co. VT, -1779 Washington Co. NY, -1789 Rutland Co. VT -1781 Addison Co. NY -1785 Chittenden Co. NY -1787 Franklin Co.(?) -1792 Grand Isle Co. (?state) Both Clinton Co. NY and Chittenden Co. VT (which was soon to become a state) took Censuses of the area in 1790. This land area in the middle of Lake Champlain right at the Canadian border is a scant mile or two away from Missisquoi Bay which was also heavily settled. I think this whole area between Lake Champlain and Montreal is referred to now as the Missiquoi Bay Settlement Area. There are Rootsweb newsgroups under many other location names and a French English one as well. Many of them have queries about the confusion resulting from all the different names. Anyone wishing composite maps showing both old and new information on the same map (todays highways on the 1800 map)– please e-mail me off list with requests. I have a Thomas Page (from Vermont) who was an ‘Associate’ of one Isaac Todd (an early businessman from Montreal) applying for a whole township in 1796 from Missiskuoi Bay. I would like to learn more about ANY other Page names in the area in that time frame. I will go to the location newsgroups also but I think it would be faster to ask people who really want to know PAGE names as well. This is where everybody started losing track of their relatives - right around the Revolution and right around the constantly changing border. Even more amazing - some of the records are written in French. Previously all American families at this frontier area were only allowed to be married by a few 'approved churches'. Expect your all English and all Protestant relations in Roman Catholic records and cemeteries. Methodists and Quakers could not perform their own marriages and infant baptisms for a time - but traveling saddlebag preachers from Church of England or RC Priests could do the job - for anybody. What a surprise! Regards to all who search, Ruthanne Page
