    3. No! From extensve research, Exolheath Page was born the American Colonies. probably in King & Queen Co., VA. There are at least three Page Family Lines that have a living association with South America: 1. The Line of Col. John Page (Page-Nelson Society) who had a descendant Capt. Thomas Jefferson Page, US Navy, the eighth son of Mann Page, who entered the US Navy as a Midshipman in Oct. 1827 (two hundred years after his ancestor Col. John Page was born). He rose to the rank of Captain and in 1853 he was appointed to command an expedition for the exploration of the tributaries of the River de La Plata and adjacent countries (Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay(. He returned in May 1856. In 1857 Congress made a further appropriation to complete the exploration of Panama and the Paraguay Rivers,. He finished this project in Dec. 1860. 2.The line of Thomas Stokes Page from NJ who, on a passage around Cape Horn to California, jumped ship in Valpariso, Chile,. There he fell in love with a local girl and he settled down in Chile where they raised a family. Several of his descendants still live in Chile. 3. In my line from George Page, Gent. of Branford, CT, my father George Ava Page, took me and the rest of his family to South America to live. In 1947 we travelled by freighter from Long Beach to Valpariso, Chile, took the train across the Andes to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where we lived for four years. My father moved to Brazil and Chile before retiring in the Bahamas.

    3. There are two other Pages possibly associated with South America. They were mentioned in court during Charlotte Tappenden's claim to be the rightful heiress of the 'Page Millions'. In 1911 Charlotte Ann Tappenden claimed in court to be related to the legitimate heirs of Henry Page (who died in 1829 and had allegedly been swindled out of his huge estate). These ‘legitimate heirs’ were Richard and John Page. Their sister was Charlotte Ann Tappenden’s mother, Mrs Helen (or Ellen) Downs. During the court case Charlotte Ann Tappenden mentioned another sibling of Richard and John – a sister who had never married called Ann Page. Richard, John, Helen [Downs] and Ann Page can be traced back to Richard Humphrey Page and Hannah. Charlotte's mother, it was claimed, had been in touch with Richard and John Page, but after a while they ceased writing. When Mrs Downs discovered in 1864 that she had a claim on the Page estate and tried to contact Richard and John, but there was no reply. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
