There are several Abiah Pages in the John Page of Haverhill, MA line; however, none of their descendants are shown in the best reference book of that line. ["The Family of John Page of Haverhill, Mass, A Comprehensive Genealogy From 1614 to 1977" by Lynn M. Case and Paul Sanderson (Higginson, 1978). The book in reprinted form is available from Higginson on line under the letter "P." Double click on: <http://www.higginsonbooks.com/>] The latest entry in the book is on p. 59: Abiah Page. b. 1790 in Haverhill, is shown to be the son of Thomas (Amos, Thomas, Cornelius, John) Page. Thomas Page was b. 30 Mar. 1766 in Haverhill, MA and served in the Hudson Valley in the Rev.. He resided in VT and Milan, OH. George W.
