| Notes |
A Nathaniel Page and William Page took the oath of allegiance in 1778 in Goshen District in Granville Co., NC. Walter Clark, State Records of North Carolina, Vol. 11, p 168-179. It is not proven whether this Nathaniel Page is the same person, but I think it is likely.
Nathaniel Page appears on the Caswell Co.tax lists in 1782 and appears every year until 1796. In 1791 he is listed as owning 200 acres of land. He is listed as owning 100 acres in 1792 - 1794. In 1795, he is listed without any land, but from deed records we know that he owned at least 100 acres. In 1796 he is listed as owning 100 acres and in 1797 he is listed as owning 120 acres.
The deed records do not match up exactly with the tax records. This may be attributable to errors in the tax records. According to deed records, Nathaniel's first land purchase was on January 25, 1793. Natheniel Page and William Adkins, Sen., bought 100 acres on Moon's Creek adjacent Somers and Dixon from David Pendergrass. (Deed Book H, p. 117). Nathaniel Page and William Page eventually sold this piece of property to William Page, Jr. on Nov. 18, 1798 (Deed Book K., p. 346). Nathaniel also purchased 20 acres on waters of Moon Creek adjacent from Benjamin Ransom for 10 pounds (Deed Book K, p. 20). Nathaniel Page also sold this property to William Page, Jr. on Nov. 18, 1798. (Deed Book K., p. 347).
Nathaniel Page does not appear in the 1800 census and I presume that he is deceased by this date.
A Nathaniel Page appears in the North Carolina Revolutionary War Army Accounts. (Mars ID 13.30.43199).
Nathaniel Page of Caroline County
Nathaniel PAGE and Hannah ? first were found living in Amelia Co., VA from ca. 1757 (when Nath'l purchased 100 acres of land from Wm. Cumpton).
(Amelia Co., VA Deed Bk. 6: 81.
Nathaniel & wf. Hanna PAGE sold the above land (100 acres) to John Spurlock in 1760.
(Amelia Co., VA Deed Bk. 7: 272.
They then purchased some acreage on Platt's Creek in Amelia Co., VA from John and Mary Ford the same year.
(Amelia Co., VA Deed Bk. 7: 274)
Then, they sold the above land on Platt Creek to Richard Johnson in 1768 and sold it to Richard Craddock in 1770.
(Amelia Co., VA Deed Bk. 9: 255 and Deed Bk. 11: 196)
NOTE: In the first deed, the acreage was given as 396, but the grantor deed gave it as 296 acres.
Then they moved to Charlotte Co., VA where, in 1770, Nathaniel purchased 400 acres of land from Richard & Elizabeth Craddock (prob. the same as the above man of the same name.
(Charlotte Co., VA Deed Bk. 2: 429)
Nathaniel and Hannah PAGE had four sons and one daughter that I know about:(not necessarily in this order)
1. Elizabeth PAGE md. John VAUGHN of Pr. Edward Co., VA
2. Richard PAGE md. Elizabeth JONES - Richard went to Union Co., SC
3. Nathaniel PAGE md. Rosanna ? (probably yours - went to Spartanburg Dist., SC.
4. William PAGE md. Nancy ? (probably COBB????)
Nathaniel PAGE, Sr. (who md. Hannah) "may have"(?) died in Charlotte Co., VA sometime between 1783 (when he deeded a slave to his dau. Elizabeth Vaughn and land to his son Richard Page) and 1796 when "a" Nathaniel PAGE and wf. Rosamond and Richard PAGE & wf. Elizabeth sold land to George FOSTER.
(Charlotte Co., VA Deed Bk. 4: 78, Deed Bk. 5: 37 and Deed Bk. 7: 178)
Nathaniel PAGE & wf. Rosanna deeded 100 acres to John Foster in 1798 and then evidently moved away.
(Charlotte Co., VA Deed Bk. 8: 155)
However, the last year that I found Nathaniel PAGE in the Charlotte Co., VA Personal Property Tax Lists was 1798. He could have been the father or the son of this name????? This is the last year that I found any of Nathaniel's family in the Charlotte Co., VA Pers. Prop. Tax Lists.
The Charlotte Co., VA Order Book of Nov 1787 gives the following item:
"Sarah Mitchell, orphan of John Mitchell, chose Nathaniel Page as guardian and her brother, William Mitchell, chose John Watkins". (Charlotte Co., VA Ct. Order Bk. 9 (1792-1794) - (above from "Magazine of Virginia Genealogy" article titled "Eighteenth Century Charlotte Co. Children" -Vol. 25, #4, Nov 1987: 111.)
