A biosketch reports [26]:
Joseph Page Sr., was a Jersey man, who came to Connellsville in 1801, and, on October 26th of that year, purchased the "Confidence" tract of 302 acres from Zachariah Connell for £536. This tract was located along the river immediately south of the "Mud Island" tract, and embraced the larger part of the ground now occupied by the Baltimore and Ohio yards. At the upper end of this tract he erected a mill, the race for which was more than a quarter of a mile in length. Mr. Page was the father of seven children—Jonathan, John, Samuel, Joseph Jr., William, Rebecca and Mary. Jonathan Page was a shoemaker and lived and died in the old stone house on Meadow alley. Samuel Page purchased the old homestead in 1814, but sold it a few years later to the Gibsons, bought the old Banning property on Water street and lived there for a number of years. He also kept the old stone tavern on East Main street. William Page became a Methodist minister, married a daughter of Zachariah Connell, and removed to Ohio. Joseph Page, Jr., lived and died in New Jersey. Miss Rebecca Page married D. S. Knox, and became the mother of Senator Philander C. Knox.
Anthony Page was, perhaps, the father of Joseph Page.
Anthony Page was a purchaser of the patent. [27]
1667 "Page, Paye—Anthony Page was given lot No. 12 at Middletown as recorded December, 1667. In March, 1671, he sold his lot to Thomas Potter and in November following, Potter sold it back to Page. The same year, 1677, the name of Anthony Page appears among West Jersey proprietors. iN. J. Archives, vol. 1, p. 209.) Joseph Page was a taxpayer in Upper Freehold in 1758. In 1799 Jonathan Page, of Upper Freehold, sold land to Rebecca Budd." [28]
1667 Anthony Page owned one of the 36 lots laid out in Middletown. [29]
Jonathan Page [30] and Mary Towle, of Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire, have been named as potential parents of this Joseph Page, of Monmouth County, New Jersey. [31] Although Jonathan Page did name a son Joseph in his will dated in 1769, Joseph's siblings were given oversight of his interests in New Hampshire. We suspect that this Joseph Page was a different person.
