Carla, I just thought of something that's rather odd. My family line of Page had a daughter by the name of Elizabeth who married a David Coursey. His Children were William, James, George, MaryAnn, Joseph, Pleasant, David Jr. (1839-1849) Lived in Humphreys Co, TN David Coursey Sr.'s son, William married a Nancy Shephers and their children were John, William, Marion, Tommy, Dollie, Martha, LUCY (b.1878), Dora & Charlie. Then, a J.J. Page married another Coursey...Mary Ann. Mary Ann was b. 1839 and they too lived in Humphreys Co, TN. Just thought the names were connected Page-Coursey as yours are. I haven't found anything yet for you...but I'm still looking. In June I will go up to the Genealogy library and see if they have something. Talk to you later, Barb

Unfortunately your two sons do not have any PAGE Y-DNA which is only passed down from father to son. [Their Y-DNA is from their father, and his father] IF you are a PAGE by birth you may have a father, uncle of male PAGE cousin who you could get tested. If that is the case I will send your the necessary info to order a test kit for one of them.

I have just realized within the past few days, that I belong to this family. While I am a female, I have two sons. I will ask both of them to submit a DNA sample, if Mom pays for it, of course Let me check with them first, then I will need details as to how to obtain the DNA kit.

Hi George, I am writing a narrative history of the family of Robert Page (my line of descent) who settled in Hampton, NH. Without re-reading the entire chronology there was his son Francis (who came with him from England), two Samuels, two Simons, a John Calvin Page who lived in Norridgewock, Maine, Ostinelli Page and my grandmother, Ruth Page. I also have several generations of Robert Page's parents/grandparents/etc. in England. My second cousin, Josiah Bartlett Page, is helping me write and illustrate the history. If any of this is of interest just let me know. Thorny (Thornton Lockwood) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I am trying to make contact with a confirmed male PAGE descendant of Robert Page of Ormsby Co. Norfolk, Eng. who immigrated with his family and servants to New England in 1637. IF you can trace your paternal ancestry back to him, please contact me. George W. Page PAGE Surname Y-DNA Project

You may be correct; but marriage is not a prerequisite for parenthood! It often follows the birth of a child (or children), and too often doesn't follow at all.

He was born in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts; married to Ann Eliza, last name unknown. He is buried in Evans, Erie New York, to the best of our knowledge after 1870.

I have a brick-wall with this ggg father. He was born in Mass., moved to New York, married to Ann Eliza, maiden name unknown. His children are John B Page, William Burton Page, Ann Eliza Page, Lucius J Page, Cordelia Dolly Page, and Sophia J Page. I have been able to trace all the children, except John B Page and Sophia J Page. Can anyone help me with John Page's parents?

John, I see you have been talking to Robert about John Page who died in 1803 Laurens District, SC. Since I live in Virginia I will do some research on Nathaniel in both Amelia & Charlotte Counties. Could be on the right track. My grandfather was also called Nathaniel. Just got back from Texas as my brother passed away. I'll get back to you & Robert to let you know what I find.

A History of Quakers in Southern Maryland The following summary of Quaker History in Southern Maryland was researched and written by Peter Rabenold. Peter is a founding member and long time cornerstone of Patuxent Friends. This booklet was prepared in his honor on the occasion of our first opportunity to host Chesapeake Quarterly Meeting, Ninth Month, 1997. 1655-56 Quakers first arrived in Southern Maryland after being expelled from Virginia. Among them was Elizabeth Harris, who proceeded to convince Puritan leaders like Richard Preston to see the "Inward Truth". [Source: http://www.patuxentfriends.org/history.htm] The Elizabeth Harris referred to was the subject of a book available on-line for a subscription fee from Oxford Dictionary of Biography: Steven C. Harper, ‘Harris, Elizabeth (fl. 1655/6–1663)’, first published Sept 2004, 610 words http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/69085 Her background, husband, location in Eng. are mentioned in the following article: She left her baby and husband, William Harris, in London when she sailed for Tidewater, VA in 1655/56 [Source: http://www.fum.org/QL/issues/9901/news.htm] Note: This was exactly the time that Col. John Page, Gent., a merchant from London came to Tidewater, VA, and built a magnificent brick home on the outside of present-day Williamsburg, VA. He donated the land used to build the Bruton Parish Church and its cemetery in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. Col. John Page, Gent. owned portions of several ships used in the tobacco trade with London. GWP From: Quaker Life January/February 1999 Triennial in Williamsburg-A Quaker Homecoming ... "Friends assembling for this year's Triennial in Williamsburg, Virginia, will meet just a few miles away from where the first Quaker messenger landed in America. "The messenger was Elizabeth Harris, a London woman about 26 years old; the time, late 1655, or 1656. George Fox had just written from his cell in Cornwall's Launceston Jail, "Let all nations hear the sound by word or writing. Spare not tongue nor pen...be valiant for the truth." And Elizabeth [Harris], Quaker for less than a year, answered the call. She set out for the New World, leaving her husband William and their baby son in London. "Elizabeth Harris evidently sailed aboard some ship of the tobacco fleet to Virginia's saltwater harbor, Hampton Roads. It lies some 25 miles down the James River from Jamestown and Williamsburg. Her sojourn here resulted in the appearance of five Quaker groups along the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, from Chuckatuck Meeting south of Hampton Roads to present-day Annapolis in Maryland. "Virginia in the 1650s was a royal dominion. All Virginians were required by law to attend the Church of England. The coming of the Quakers resulted in "An Act for Suppressing Quakers" passed by Virginia's legislature. It reads, "Whereas there is an unreasonable and turbulent sort of people commonly called Quakers, who, contrary to law do daily gather....To prevent and restrain which mischief it is enacted...that all Quakers...be imprisoned...till they...depart the Colony." "This law and others like it brought on a persecution that lasted over 120 years. Many Virginia Friends were jailed or whipped and their property confiscated. At least three died, martyrs for the faith. It ended only in 1782 when the Virginia legislature passed an Act for Religious Freedom. "The Friends in Virginia and elsewhere in the South developed an abhorrence of slavery. After 1800 when the Ohio Territory opened up for settlers, hundreds of Friends' families in Virginia-Antrims, Baileys and Bransons, Crews, Ellysons, Fawcetts, Ladds and Luptons, and their kin-packed up their farm wagons and headed west to Ohio. That rich new country was slave-free, declared so by Congress. _______ The descendants of two sons of William (d. 1697 presumably in London) and Elizabeth (Unk.) HARRIS are presented in the following Rootsweb messages dtd. Mar. 2006: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/HARRIS-COLONIALVA/2006-03/1143469050 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/HARRIS-COLONIALVA/2006-03/1143504560 _____________ I have found out that Thomas and Alice Page of Isle of Wight Co., VA, and their known descendants were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Details will be submitted shortly; but first some introduction into the Society's activities in Tidewater, Virginia in the 1600s - 1700s. The following quoted newspaper article provides that introduction. GWP ---------- QUARKERS' RESISTANCE HAS LONG VIRGINIA ROOTS George Fox (1624-1691), the 17th century English founder of the Society of Friends, familiarly known as Quakers, would have heartily endorsed the action of two of his latter-day Norfolk followers who were featured in a front page article in The Virginian-Pilot on June 4, 1996. (skip) Born in Leicestershire, England, Fox early experienced what he called the ``Inner Light of Christ.'' His mysticism attracted many who were then seeking for positive affirmation of faith during the troubled times of the English Civil War and the subsequent Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. Since Fox's teachings were contrary to those of England's Established Church as well as anti-military, it was not long before he and his followers were in trouble. Until the passage of the Act of Toleration by the British Parliament in 1688, Fox and his converts were subjected to violent persecution. But that only made the Quakers more zealous. Incidentally, the sect gained its popular name when Fox told an English judge to ``tremble at the Word of the Lord.'' Since Fox and many of his followers actually trembled when they proclaimed their faith, the name [Quaker] stuck and became the popular name for the persuasion from then on. As for Virginia, there were Quakers here from 1656, at which time Elizabeth Harris, one of Fox's missionaries, founded settlements of Friends along the James River. The movement spread rapidly eastward into Isle of Wight, Nansemond and Lower Norfolk Counties. Since the Virginia Quakers, like their English brethren, flouted civil obedience, the magistrates became increasingly hostile. After the restoration of Charles II in 1660, at which time the arch royalist, Sir William Berkeley, again became Virginia's governor, the persecution became intense. Since the Quakers had become particularly numerous in Lower Norfolk County (now the cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake), Berkeley fired off a steamy missive to the ``gentlemen of the County of Lower Norfolk'' in 1663, enjoining them to use every effort to root out ``ye abominal seede of ye Quakers.'' Berkeley's hatred of the sect was echoed by Henry Beecher, a Lower Norfolk County Anglican who declared of one dissenter: ``It would be better for that Quaker dog to go stark naked into a red hot oven than to put his foot on my plantation.'' Even so, the Virginia Quakers continued to thrive, and by 1672, when George Fox was on his missionary journey to North America, he preached to a great concourse of Lower Norfolk County people at the Elizabeth River plantation of John Porter, an event he described in his journal as ``precious and glorious.'' Fox died in London, England, three years after the Act of Toleration had taken the heat off the Society of Friends. Meanwhile, they had continued to increase throughout the world. That this was true in Virginia is evident from the following caustic quotation from The History of the Dividing Line (1729), written by Col. William Byrd II of Westover. ``We passed no less than two Quaker meeting houses. The persuasion prevails much in the lower end of Nansemond County for want of ministers to pilot the people to a decenter (sic, more decent) way to heaven. The ill reputation of the tobacco in these lower parishes make the clergy unwilling to accept of them except such whose abilities are as mean as their pay.''

HAHAHA>.. I did expect a comment or two like Roberts below... though I thought it would be in good humour and not shouting as he has done. Yes I am familiar with Great Britain ... I guess I was broadly speaking ... maybe I should have stated what I thought was the obvious. Anyway... there are a few emails that come though that are just a little confusing... no problem... Im sure those who are unsure will ask for clarification. The information that does come though is in-depth and a credit to the senders. I sure wish there was as much info available for some of the UK Pages that I research... meanwhile I will plug along.

A fair question, even from "Down Under'. Thanks for asking it. In all cases in my recent messages my references are to counties in Virginia. I believe it is normal modern British practice to refer to the word 'county' uncapitalized before the name (e.g., county Isle of Wight, Eng.; co. Surrey, Eng.; and co. Kent, Eng., etc.); whereas in America the word county is capitalized and used as a suffix. We refer to Isle of Wight County, VA; Surrey Co., VA; Kent Co., MD, etc.). Hope that convention helps.
