1857 The family of Elizabeth Page lived in Union City, which was first laid out as a town in 1849 and which had become a railroad center by 1855.

Page were shown near each other in sections 16 and 17, north of Union City, in an 1857 atlas of Jackson Twp, Darke County, Ohio. Charles Pickett and his widowed mother, Nancy, may have lived in the household of W.K. Marquess at this time. Elizabeth R Page likely lived with her father, M.C. Page. W.K. Marquis also owned land south of Union City in section 32. [1]

Union City Ind. April 23rd .95
Mr James Pickett, Dear Sir -
And beloved nephew --
It seems so strange that I of only your own age, should call you nephew. If it had been our fortunes that we would have been born and lived nearer, we possibly would have felt more as brothers. Yet it is enough that we are so nearly allied in blood that we forget not our common ancestry. Your father, My eldest brother I never met. Your Uncle my brother James M. I never saw. I was born in Ohio, Darke County, in which place I now live near my birthplace. My P.O. adddress is Union City, Ind. because our city is divided by the state line separating Ohio from Indiana. I live in Ohio. Our city together is about 8000 inhabitants a little more than half of which is in Union City, Indiana. We have distinct and separate municipal governments. The (Post Office ?) is on the Indiana side.Your letter, as was that of my nieces, so surprisingly kindly and conveyed to me so much affection and that loving kindness, which surpasseth understanding that I may well excuse myself of dilatory studies to know how to answer all. I rec'd from your brother Fred. a letter which I will try to answer soon, as I will all of them, but I must beg of you all to somewhat consider my capacity to either write or invite letters so fast to loving kinsman and kinswoman of whom I scarcely even know-
It is of myself you wish to know - I feel assured. Then I am old, broken in health, a lawyer with more practice than fees -- poor as the celebrated Christmas fowl of the late lamented Job of biblical history.
I have been a Union Soldier of the late war, was wounded three times, was in Salisbury N.C. Military prison, was garated, and discharged - came back to Mother (note: garrate is related to choking). Went into wholesale Grocery-business-broke up kite like. Went through the bankruptsy courts lost 13,000 dollars never recovered, finished my law studies was admitted to all the state courts-and the departments was sunstruct, and lost 5 years of my life about. Got a pension-at 54. My family consists of ten children six in heaven, and four with me - those 4 are Chas. Edd-25, Kate 18, Arielle 16 - and my baby Petrovna Jane 11.
I am very much inclined to accept your brother Fred's invitation to visit Florida - if you rebs down there won't quarrel with me. I am and have been since Grant's administration thoroughly identified with the democratic party. But I am now a Silverite to the bottom of the river. (historical notes: President Grant was a Republican whose administration devastated the South after the Civil War. At the 1896 convention the silverite-agrarian faction repudiated president Cleveland, and nominated the crusading orator William Jennings Bryan on a platform of free coinage of silver.)
My wife was a Page of the Page family of New Jersey - an old and very reputable family - I think I have no kin folks nearer geographically than you and my dear Sisters, your aunts - in Kansas Catherine Fowler and Mary Jane - I wish you would write me again and I will give you all the information of my county. You have never been our country - Ohio - first in grain and in grass - in learning - in politics and in - Fraud -.
I know you would like my family if you know them as I am sure I would yours - remember me kindly to all, and if opportunity affords give my affection to the widow of My verry dear dead brother Hiram whom I can yet remember.
Verry affectionately Your Uncle C.T. Pickett.

Research Notes:
The Page ancestry of Elizabeth R Page has been difficult to document with certainty. The links from Elizabeth R Page to her father Michael and her grandfather John Page and her great-grandfather Thomas Page are substantiated by her family relationships with Abner Page and Asahel C Page, two of grandfather John Page's siblings. Elizabeth R. Page cared for her great uncle Asahel C Page, according to her testimony in 1868. C. T. Pickett of Darke County was the informant for the 1876 will of Eliza Vantilburg, who was a spouse of Abner Page, son of Elizabeth's great-uncle Abner Page. In addition, Charles' brother Isaiah C Pickett had several land transactions in 1863-64 with the family of Abner Page. The estate of AC Page, brother of John Page, was settled by Michael C Page and IC Pickett. These documents provide a three generation link to Elizabeth R Page, daughter of Michael C. Page, grand-daughter of John Page, and wife of Charles Pickett, through Isaiah Cochran Pickett, brother to Charles Pickett. [107]
Here is a summary of how this branch of the Pickett family, which has deep roots in the South, ended up in Darke County, Ohio. [Story, Why Charles Pickett was in Ohio.]
Charles Pickett's granddaughter, Gladys Teegarden, wrote to his great grandson, Robert Wolfe (annotations by Robert Wolfe) [108]:
Charles Pickett was a lawyer. A very intelligent lawyer. At one time, when my mother (Petrovna Jane) was a little girl in a grocery store, she heard some of the businessmen of the city saying "If it weren't for that one habit (drinking) they would send that man to Congress". He handled some very important cases. Also, he served as an honor guard (cavalry) to President Lincoln when he lay in state at the White House (unverified). He was in Sherman's march to the sea. Also, some of his brothers served in the Confederate army (unverified). General Pickett, Southern army, was a relative.
