The only reason anyone have have written the name Axel is the new who his father was.  I have over 35 of the original abstract documents and was promised the grant paper when the girls died but the family was so embarrassed after I found that error that it was taken by a cousin and not to be shown to anyone.  I went back a couple of times but could not find out who had it.  So I think they did call him Axel Page, but his legal name, used in legal documents, was Exolheath, or Axelheath.  In some cases he was refered to as Exol or Exoll.  According to his deed will in 1778, he signed (marked) the name, Exolheath Page.

There are other records showing spelling as Exolheath. e.g. In Goochland Co. Levy Court, Dec., 1754 "Exhollheath Page pd. for erecting two sign posts - 50# tobacco."  So, it remains a possibility that he was either Axel Heath, Exolheath, or whatever.  No need to make a final decision.
