Subject: Which John is this?? >From Book: The Page Family--American Genealogical Research Institute 1975 John Page (April 17, 1743-October 11, 1808): Revolutionary patriot, congressman, and governor of Virginia. Born in Gloucester County, Va, John was the son of Mann and Alice (Grymes) Page. Page attended the College of William and Mary and there became the friend of Thomas Jefferson. Widowed by his first wife, Frances Burwell, Page remarried in 1789, Margaret Lowther. Both women bore him a total of twenty children. Page began his political career in the Colonial House of Burgesses. He served as Lt Gov. under Patrick Henry and helped grame the Constitution of Va in 1776. He ran for governor against Thomas Jefferson in 1779 but lost. After serving in the Va assembly for many years, he went to Congress where he spent eight years. Page supported Jefferson in his Presidential bid in 1800 and in 1802 succeeded James Monroe as governor of Virginia.
