  Captain Francis Page b. 1657, oldest son of Colonel John Page, married Marry Diggs in Williamsburg, VA, about 1682; they had no sons. Francis died at age 35, in 1692, about three months following the death of his father; his only daughter, Elizabeth, was then 9 years old. Later, Elizabeth married Gent John Page, son of Robert Page.
  
  Madam Mary Page, was the widow of Captain Francis Page; her mother, Elizabeth (Page) Diggs, was a sister of Colonel John Page. Madam Mary lived on her estate in "Abbington Parish", which included 3,000 acres located in Glouchester county; another 550 acre estate in Glouchester county; 3,450 acres in New Kent conty; and 900 acres in James City county. She died 10 May 1703 at Williamsburg, VA
  
  Colonel Matthew Page b 1659, son of Col. John Page, married Mary Mann about 1689 in Williamsburg, VA. They had 4 children: Elizabeth, Mann, Mary, and Matthew. However, Matthew b 1702 died in infancy leaving only Mann to continue this Page name. He was on the Council of VA in 22 Jul 1693. He was listed that same year as one of the "Gents, Presidents and Masters", at the College of William and Mary. Matthew Page was appointed as "Commander in Chief" of Glouchester county in 1699 and he received the additional appointment to the "Elizabeth City Court of Admiralty" on 13 May 1700. Matthew's personal estate exceeded 300,000 acres. Matthew was one of the wealthiest men in the Colony when he died at age 43 on 9 Jan 1703.
  
  Major (Gent) John Page, single son of Robert Page (Robert was Colonel John Page;s brother) emigrated from Bedford Parish and was later appointed to the "York County quorum" in 1699. British land records, during this period, reveal that he was in possession of land in York county, King and Queen county and James City county. Major John Page married his cousin Elizabeth (daughter of Madam Mary Page) in 1702. Elizabeth died that same year at age 19. After Elizabeth's death he married Mrs. Mary (Mann) Page, widow of Colonel Mattew Page, after the Colonel died in 1703. They moved to England.
  
  Robert Page, brother of Colonel John Page, resided on his 175 acre Grand Estate at Abbington Parish in Glouchester county. Robert maintained a resident estate at Hatton, Bedford Parish in England. He died aft 1686.
  
  Henry Page, son of Robert Page, forfeited his estate on 16 July 1677; his mother, Margaret Page (bondsperson) was required to pay the delinquent taxes. She gained possession of Henry's seized property.
  
  Susanna Page, daughter of Robert Page, was granted a land title upon an Indian lease, which included 1,000 acres, in June 1699. she also had a recorded land patent of 1,419 acres in King and Quen county during October 1701.
  
  Richard Page was in possession of 150 acres adjoining the estate of Major (Gent) John Page in York county. It appears that this is the Richard who was heir to the "Great Page Estate" in Middlesex England. Richard Page was also the brother of Nathanial Page(b. 1645 who changed the spelling of his name to Paige; and he was a younger cousin to Colonel John Page.
  
  John Page Jr had 300 acres in King and Quen county and 400 acres in New Kent county. This appears to be the son of John Page (b. 1627) who was transported to the Colony of VA 4 July 1635.
  
  Colonel Thomas Page, of Old Rappahannock, made his will 10 March 1676. His heirs included a son, Valentine Allen, who only received a small part of the land where he lived. his daughter, Mary Allen and grandson, Samuel Allen received large grants. Elizabeth West, Mary Noell, and the children of William Hodge received large shares of Thomas' land. This Thomas and his only son, Valentine Allen appear to have no known"Page" decscendants.
