John William PAGE - died in infancy Barbara PAGE - never md. Lucy Burwell PAGE - md. Robert SAUNDERS of Williamsburg, VA I believe that the several PAGE-NELSON reunions held in VA in the past are of this family----mainly the family of the Gov. John PAGE's first marriage. Only two of Gov. John PAGE's sons married and had descendants: Mann and Francis. This information is partly from my personal research and partly from the book "Genealogy of the PAGE Family in Virginia" by Richard Channing Moore PAGE, M.D., Second Edition, 1965. This book has been reprinted, but I don't know where it can presently be purchased or the price. If I am wrong about any of this, would someone please correct me. Dolores
