Mann Page[3] Birth 1749 Gloucester County, Virginia Colony Death 1781 (aged 31?32) Spotsylvania County, Virginia Spouse Mary Tayloe Page, 1759?1835 (m. 1776) Siblings John Page, 1743?1808 Judith Page Burwell, 1745?1777 Elizabeth Page Harrison, 1751?1782 Tayloe Page, 1755?1760 Lucy Page Burwell, 1759?1843 (m. 1776) Children Mann Page, 1781 ? unknown Maria Mann Page Burwell, 1784?1867 Continental Congress Member. The brother of Congressman John Page, he graduated from the College of William and Mary, studied law and was admitted to the bar. Page was a member of the House of Burgesses, and moved to Spotsylvania County to establish "Mannsfield," an estate near Fredericksburg. A supporter of the Revolution, he was elected to the Continental Congress in 1777 and served one term. He died at Mannsfield and was interred in the estate's family cemetery. Mannsfield was destroyed during the Civil War, but a small portion of it is included in the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. Burial: Page Family Cemetery Mansfield Hall, Spotsylvania County, Virginia National Daily Intelligencer (Washington, DC), Saturday, March 21, 1835: "At her residence, Millwood, Frederick county, Va. on the 26th ultimo, in the 77th year of her age, Mrs. MARY PAGE, relict of the Hon. MANN PAGE, of Mansfield, and daughter of the Hon. JOHN TAYLOE, of Mount Airy, Virginia. This truly venerable individual possessed a remarkable combination of the rarest excellencies of character. Familiar in her earlier days with the all the enjoyments that affluence and ease could bestow, and called to preside over the hospitality of a mansion where the most brilliant and accomplished spirits of those 'times that tried men's souls,' were accustomed to assemble and sojourn, she was subjected in no ordinary degree to the great moral test of prosperity, and proved herself capable of sustaining it, without forgetting God her Maker. And when subsequent changes and afflictions in the providence of God befell her, she came out of them all like gold seven times purified in the flames. In her, alike, when prosperity smiled, or adversity frowned, the bland, the benign, the sincere and dignified cordiality of manners, which so eminently characterized the olden days of Virginia, was doubly chastened and confined by the transforming lustre of pure and undefiled religion. This was her crown and her glory; and those who best knew her exalted worth, are constrained to believe that she was left but few equals behind her, 'in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.' She died as she lived, serene as the clear setting of a full-orbed sun, after a long day of golden light. Her whole life was like her preparation for death, and forms her best eulogy, now that she rests from all her labors." Alexandria Gazette (Alexandria, VA), Thursday, February 5, 1835: "Departed this life, on the morning of the 26th inst., at her residence in Millwood, Virginia, Mrs. Mary Page, relict of Col. Mann Page, of Mansfield. In recording the death of this most estimable lady, we feel how inadequate we are to do justice to her many and exalted virtues. Nursed in the lap of luxury and wealth--surrounded by numerous friends and a happy offspring, she witnessed, ere she had reached the autumn of her days, wealth and luxury vanished, and was doomed to suffer the bitter pangs of broken ties in all the dearest relations of life; and yet no complaint--no murmur--was heard to escape her ever placid lips. With Christian fortitude and resignation, she bore meekly the sad reverses of fortune and her sudden losses. Few persons, indeed, have either merited or enjoyed so high a degree of friendship, love and esteem, as this most excellent lady. As a wife, as a mother, as a friend, as a Christian, she was truly a high and bright example. Under the solemn conviction that to live to the glory of God, and to the good of our fellow creatures, is the great object of human existence, she devoted herself to a life of the strictest frugality and of active Christian benevolence. In piety, meekness of heart, and the steady observance and practice of the ordinances of our blessed Saviour can secure happiness hereafter, then, indeed, may we console her bereaved and afflicted relatives, who must so deeply deplore her irreparable loss, with the bright and charming hope that peace--happiness--Heaven await her. January 29, 1835." [S46] Marriage Record/Certificate, file:///R:/Users/mfe/Downloads/early-virginia-marriages-p1.pdf.
