Page Sr.  Much of it you are digging out now.  I made a trip to Warren Co, KY, and Lafayette Co, MO, to look for myself.  Gathered what data I could.  If I remember right, the Lafayette Co documents were a shambles. No control on books, many pages torn out, whole books missing.  Much better in Warren Co.  However, I do have a copy the Lafayette Co Page Obituaries from 1891-1905.  I can make it available if anyone is interested.  It was sent to me by JUPEP@aol.com in 1999. I also visited Exol Church and the nearby countryside in King & Queen Co (old New Kent Co).  Took many pictures.  Building still has walls covered in vine, trees growing inside.  A road was cut thru many years ago next to the building and thru the graveyard.  I guess several graves were lost.  However , several gravestones exist that I photo'ed.  Will dig out names if anyone interested.  I found them of no interest to me.  Also there was a very good article written by the King & Queen Historical Society (when it was in existance) that provided a very good history of Exol Church.  I have a copy somewhere around here.  Also I did extra research on their preachers.  I haven't worked the Pages in 10 years and my memory is not as good as it used to be.

Page Cc: Dolores; Donald Wilburn Page; Daniel Eugene Page Subject: Re: Descendants of Axcel Heath Page By the way, I fogot to finish a sentence in the message I sent last night. In one paragraph I said: "By the way, I haven't determined yet just how close to Axel, Linsey lived. They were several or many pages apart in their two Warren county censuses. And I haven't found any land records for Linsey.  The only other PAGE in those" I meant to look in my notes to finish that sentence.  The full thought was:     The only other PAGE in those "KY Land Grants" for Warren county was a PAGE, THOS. S., 152 acres on Big Beaver Creek, surveyed 23Jan1821, record book 25. So who was the Thomas S. Page?  Seems children of Axel or Linsey would not have been quite old enough to be obtaining land, but who otherwise?  I haven't looked for or investigated this Thomas at all. But I did notice that a THOMAS PAGE Sr. was an Ensign in the War of 1812, mustered in on 21Aug1816, in the Roll of captain Francis A. Gaines' Company, Kentucky Militia -- Commanded by Colonel "JOHN POAGE".  (Col. John Poage was also commander of some other KY companies of the War of 1812.) Unfortunately, although their ages should have made them optimum for serving in that war, no Linsey or Axel were found in such records that I've found on Ancestry.com. Other PAGE who WERE found as served KY in the War of 1812, were: David, David D., Lawrence, Thomas Sr. (as mentioned), William, and William F. Page.  There were also POAGE, Allen, James, John, Robert, Thomas, also a Joseph POAGE and a John POANGE. Axel's 4 (NOT 5, as I had said in my previoius email) land grants or surveys on 02Nov1805 (record book 16) to 15Apr1818 (were on Parkers Creek or Fork of the Gasper River, or on Gasper River, except for his last 30 acres, which was on Salt Lick Creek surveyed 24Apr1818.  On that same date he also obtained or was surveyed 100 acres on Gasper River.  A WILLIAM L. CHRISTIAN also obtained 100 acres on Gasper River, surveyed 02Nov1814.  (At least one and I think more than one CHRISTIAN was/were associtiated with PAGE in Amherst County VA.) The Gasper River on which Axel Heath Page settled runs either eastward or westward across the "elbow" of the western border of Warren County, with most of the river apparently in LOGAN county KY.  Possibly Axel's location there has something to do with the fact that other familar PAGEs with origins in VA are found (a bit later?) in Logan county.  On the other hand, on the early map that I had found, Salt Lick Creek apparently is all in Warren County, near the southwest corner, running more or less parrellel to and near the border of LOGAN County. Would any of these type land records show names of parents, siblings or inlaws?  We can be sure that the Axel Heath Page of Warren County KY and the Axel Heath Page who married Sally Innes in 1807 Amherst County VA are one and the same. At first it had seemed that Sally's father John Innes/Innis MIGHT have been the first to move to Warren County, and it could have been his presence there which then drew Axel and wife Sally. But further research suggests that he might have gone out there about the same time as Axel OR his daughter Sally. On page 76 of the book "Deed Abstracts of Warren County, Kentucky, 1797-1812" (Deed books A1, B2, C3, D4 & E5)", is the entry from one of the Deed Books, "Page 75. Bill of Sale from John Innis to Absalom Stratton and wife Winney Stratton, for $2.00, Negro children Sarah and Tom, and to Axel H. Page and wife SallyT (sic - Sally T.?) Page, for $2.00, Negro girl Patty and her children Elijah and Frankey.  Refers to purchase on 29July1797 in Amherst Co, VA, by Sally Innis and Winny Innis of Patty and fact that their father John Innis refused to provide for Sally, and instead hired her out for L47.  Wit:  James Wardlow, William Tankersley." (Bold face fonts are by me, Art Klinger.) At the time (in the Cincinnatee OH Library?) I didn't see a date for the above Deed Book entry, but apparently John Innes was transacting with Axel and his wife Sally, but speaking about a much earlier 1797 purchase while his still-single daughters Sally and Winny were still back in Amherst county. Those 1810 and 1820 Warren County KY censuses had the households still arranged "as surveyed" (not alphabetized), so the relative locations of the actual neighbors could be seen.  It is interesting to see that also in 1810 Warren Co KY were two "JOHN ENNISS" (sic) one of age 45 & over, the other 26 thru' 44, living side by side.  The only other Soundex Innis in 1810 Warren County, was a George Ennis, age 26 thru' 44, on the page directly after that of the two John Enniss.  The household of the son-in-law of John Enniss/Innis, "Absolam Stratton", husband of John's daughter Winney as shown in the above Deed Book entry, was just after that of George Ennis, seperated by only one household. Ancestry.com listed him as "Absolam Strutton". A "James Wardlaw" (sic) was in 1810 KY, Fayette County, Lexington, and another of that name was in 1810 KY, Henderson Co, Henderson.  Ancestry.com's index of 1810 KY does not show a William Takersley, but shows a George Tankersby/Tankersley and a Joseph Tankersby/Tankersly in Warren County.  In Ancestry.com's ' "Second Census" of Kentucky 1800 ', is shown in Tax Lists, a David and Jesse Ennis in Warren County in Jan1800, and a John and William Ennis in Lincoln County on 23-Aug-1800.  In this same re-created 1800 KY census, were the following PAGE (no PAIGE), all dated simply "1800" unless otherwise noted:  John in Madison Co, Jonathan in Harrison Co, "Little" in Logan Co, William in Madison Co, William in Shelby County on 07Aug1800, and William in Woodford County.  Also a "Joseph Pagg" in Henry County on 06Aug1800.  No variation of Stratton (or Allcock) was found by Ancestry's search engine for this particular database. By the way, one of those sons of Linsey/Lindsay (etc) Page and Polly/Pollie/Mary who were in Graves county KY near the aging "Pollie Page" in Warren county, was named "A. H. Page born about 1820, died 19Aug1875 in Graves Co KY, per "KY Death Records, 1852-1953".  But unfortunately, his name was ANDREW (second name almost surely HENRY) PAGE.
