Hello I am passing on this information in the hopes of finding more relatives and information on our family tree. Queen Victoria Page was the daughter of John Wesley Page and was born in Graves County, Kentucky on August 20, 1874. She was the 17th of the 18 children of Mr. Page and his second wife. His first wife Mary Ann Elnora Snowden had born the first nine before her death. Queenie married Lee Anderson McClanahan and bore him 5 daughers, Nola Lee, Ruby Pearl, Maude Adelle, Marion Alice and Mary Lee. Ten days after the birth of Mary, Lee contracted appendicitus and died. Several years later, she would remarry John Yarbrough. He was known to the girls as "Big Papa". John Yarbrough died about 1953, according to family sources. Queen Victoria died on March 31, 1958 and is buried in the Woodville Kentucky Cemetery. The family home was near Lovelaceville, Kentucky on the Ballard and McCracken County Line. At one point after Lee's death, the house burned and Queenie lived under a taurpaline while the house was being rebuilt by her son-in-law William Eaker, who was a carpenter by trade. Because of his diminutive size, he was known as Uncle Peck by the family. Her granddaughters, Elizabeth Elrod stayed with her during this time and related this story to Gary Pace. The only known photograph of Lee McClanahan was saved from the fire and is in the possession of a second cousin. Gilbert Elrod, his grandfather, gave Gary Pace a hand saw that he said belonged to Lee McClanahan. Thomas W. Rogers 924 E.

There was a John W. Page, b. 1835 in (Adair Co.?) KY that may be your John Wesley Page! The age and location seem to fit. John W. Page was the eldest known son of William Washington Page (b. 25 Nov. 1809 in Nelson Co., VA - d. 27 May 1877 in Adair Co. , KY and buried in City Cem. Adair Co., KY. I believe Adair Co. was formed in 1802 from Green Co.) and his wife Sophia Brawer, b. 1811. William was the son of Nicholas Page (b. 1 July 1780 - d. 16 Feb. 1817 in Adair Co.) and his wife Nancy (Ann D.) Smith (b.c. 1776 in VA - d.c. 1855 in VA) who were m. 3 Nov. 1803 or 1804 in Amherst Co., VA. Nancy was the daughter of William Smith. Nicholas Page was the son of Robert Page (b. 17 Sep 1743 in Albermarle Co., VA - d. 29 Aug. 1817 in Adair Co., KY) and his wife Mary Jane Murrell "Jennie" (b. 29 Aug. 1748 in VA - d. 2 Dec. 1831 in Adair Co., KY) who were m. 6 Dec. 1765. Both are buried in the Robert Page Sr. Cem. in Cane Valley, Adair Co., KY. [Brockman Family Bible of Mrs. Max Page Texas that emigrated from Barren Co., KY around 1815 and established Pageville, KY as cited in the KY section of a two volume book, CAROLINA PAGES by Robert E. Page III. ] John Wesley was no doubt named for the famed John Wesley who was instrumental in the Methodist Church. This is NOT my line of Pages and I have no further info on this line! George W.
