Mann Page was the son of the Honorable Mann Page, Esquire (1690-24 Jan 1730) and his (presumptive first wife) Judith; and the heir to Rosewell plantation.[1] At least one genealogy attributes his mother to be Judith (Carter) Page, daughter of the Honorable Robert (King) Carter and Judith Armistead.[2]
The following birth entry for Mann Page was recorded, most likely by his father:
"Mann Page son of Judith & M. Page born the 8th of December, about three of the clock in the morning, 1716. On the twelfth day of December (the most unfortunate that ever befel me) about seven of the clock in the morning, the better half of me, my dearest dear wife, was taken from me, after she had endured the bitterest pangs of death about thirty hours, with the greatest patience imaginable, and most absolute resignation to the blessed will ot God" [3]
The family bible records are short notations, apparently written by different people at different times. The above-quoted memorandum was probably written by Hon. Mann Page himself, unless it is a copy. That and a memorandum regarding the births of Ralph and Maria Page (which see) are the only satisfactory entries, the rest being in different handwritings and without dates." [4]
His first wife was Alice (Grymes) Page (1723-11 Jan 1746), daughter of the Honorable John Grymes, Esquire of Middlesex County, of His Majesty's Council in the Colony. They had two sons and one daughter. Among their children were:[1]
His second wife was Ann Corbin Tayloe. Among their children were two sons who died young (buried at Rosewell).[1]
His tombstone does not survive, but the inscription for his wife's tombstone and others were transcribed in 1893 [5]The surviving stones from the Page family cemetery were moved in the 1960's by the APVA to Abingdon Episcopal Church cemetery. Although his tombstone does not survive, his remains are still interred in this cemetery.
