Ruthanne and all, I can't offer much history, nor can I connect them to my Joseph Page of Philadelphia, PA family , but I have a record for this family from Christ Church Philadelphia, PA....maybe you have this too. Joseph Page married Frances Chaterton 1 Jun 1770 at Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA. They had 3 children baptized at Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA at the same time. 1. Jesse, b. Aug 1771 baptized 22 Feb 1784 2. Mary, b. Sep 1773 baptized 22 Feb 1784 3. Benjamin, b. Mar 1775 baptized 22 Feb 1784 4. Ann, b. 8 Feb 1779 baptized 22 Feb 1784 There are military records for a Joseph Page in Philadelphia during this period, but I am fairly certain they are for my Joseph who was Quaker and condemned for joining the revolution. My Joseph Page married Deborah Bell in 1777 at Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church in Philadelphia; that is where the Quakers went when they were not permitted get married at Quaker Meeting. Gloria Dei was technically a Swedish Lutheran Church, but the clergy was always Anglican, supplied by Christ Church. Today Gloria Dei is an Episcopal Church. Susan Page Howland George W.

I have much information about them but nothing before this era which is messed up right around the Revolution of course - thanks to all the land and political squabbles at the border. I have found some of the family in Quebec and also some in Ontario who were definitely Loyalists. The big question is- Which DNA Page family do they fall into? All those families were going back and forth across the border area according to where land was given them at the time. I will gladly pass on notes to anyone who recognizes these people. They could be French - but they could also have been English Americans who were in the French region for a while, then moved on to Upper Canada around Niagara. There are so many references to Joseph and Jesse in the Niagara area that I always thought they were formerly American English but that could have been in error too. All input would be appreciated.
