1888 obituary for son John Page from Clermont Sun newspaper (02-15-1888)
The documents cited here suggest that Thomas Page and Sarah Coate were married in Burlington County, New Jersey. Thomas Page was perhaps a son of Thomas Page Sr, who died in New Jersey. After the death of Thomas Page Sr, Thomas and Sarah Coate Page moved to Clermont County, Ohio, which was on the "Western Frontier" of the United States at that time. They engaged in several business attempts. They interacted with the family of Ulysses Grant.
1772 Thomas Page Sr had a son (no name given in the source) born on 13 September (first day of week, Sunday), listed in a Quaker physician's records in Burlington County near Crosswicks. Crosswicks Creek is in Chesterfield Twp, Burlington County. [1] [2] [3]. We have assumed that the unnamed son was this Thomas Page Jr, who married Sarah Coate, daughter of Daniel Coate [4]. We further assume that Thomas and Sarah Coate Page was the couple that moved to Ohio in about 1805. [5] We have further assumed that Alice Scott was the minor daughter named in the 1746 will of Thomas Scott of Burlington County, New Jersey [6], which provides a family link between the daughters of this Thomas Page Jr, by his second marriage; and Barzillai Scott, likely the grandson of Thomas Scott (died 1746 in Burlington County); who lived in the same household with those daughters in Clermont County, Ohio in 1850 [7] [8]. We welcome further evidence to support or refute these assumptions. We suspect that Thomas Page Sr was the physician who recorded the birth of his son in his journal.
c 1793 Thomas Page and Sarah Coate may have been married about this time, based on the birth date of first child, John, in 1793 likely in Burlington County, New Jersey. [9]
1793 Thomas Page [perhaps Thomas Sr or Jr] was taxed in Chester Twp, Burlington County, New Jersey. [10]
1788-1801 The political boundaries of the residence of Thomas Page changed, but the geographical location might not have changed. The border between Evesham and Chester Townships, in Burlington County, was changed and defined. The townships of Evesham (see sections 67-73 of map 18 [11]) and Chester (see sections 58-65 of map 18 [12]) were formed in 1788 [13]. Their border changed position in 1801 [14] Chester Twp was incorporated in 1798. [15]

1804 Thomas Page deeded land to Nathan Middleton in Chester Twp, Burlington County, New Jersey. The tract was adjacent to lands of Hugh Hollingshead, deceased, and Benjamin Hollingshead.

[31] "The settlement commenced in 1803 by Collins, Higbee and McCollum, was the beginning of what was long known as the Jersey settlement. It was sometimes called Collin's settlement. The first log school-house erected there in was near the present grave-yard, and near what is now called the Bethel meeting House.

Mr. Page inherited considerable wealth; he bought five hundred acres of land, and in addition to the saw-mill, made costly improvements on his land. After living on it eight or ten years, he engaged in merchandizing and a tan-yard at the mouth of Big Indian Creek; he was not prosperous, and sold his five hundred acres to a Mr. Simpson, who lived many years at Mr. Page's homestead, and his son Samuel Simpson, now lives there, and owns a large part of the land."

The next several items, and the 1817 land sale to John Simpson above, relate to the family of Ulysses S. Grant. Jesse Grant, father of Ulysses S. Grant, worked at the tannery (now the U. S. Grant’s Birthplace and Grant Commemorative Sites Historic District in Point Pleasant, Clermont County [84]) that Thomas Page built in Clermont County.
In 1822 Page employed a young laborer, Jesse R. Grant to work in the tannery. Grant had just married Hannah Simpson, a local girl, the previous year. The young married couple (Grant) went down to the mouth of Indian Creek and rented the tannery, built by Page [85]. They rented the small, two-room cottage. In the north end was the living room with a huge fireplace at one end, serving for cooking and heating. At the south end was the bedroom in which on April 27, 1822 a future president was born. After the Grant's moved away, a lean-to kitchen was added. The Ohio Historical Society now maintains the house as a memorial open to the public. [86]
1820 Thomas Page built a tannery at Point Pleasant. [87]:
Point Pleasant … is the oldest and most historic village in the township. It was laid out in 1813, to contain 62 7/16 acres, at the mouth of Indian Creek, on the Ohio, by Joseph Jackson for the proprietor, Henry Ludlow. The plat embraced 100 in-lots and 13 out-lots, with a reservation on the river-bank for the use of the public, and streets named Indian, Locust, Main, Ohio, North, Maple, and Water. Henry Ludlow lived on the tract of land on which the village was laid out before 1810, and about 1820 removed to Cincinnati, where he died suddenly. In 1815 the place contained only two houses, that of Ludlow's and one occupied by John Thompson, a blacksmith, and son of the Rev. W. G. Thompson. The third house was erected soon after by Thomas Page, who opened the first store, built the first ware house, and established the tannery where Jesse R. Grant was employed in 1822. He had married Miss Simpson, of Tate, the year before, and the young and poor couple resided at Point Pleasant, in the house of Lee Thompson. This house yet remains as built, and is in a well-preserved condition, a lean-to kitchen having been added since its occupancy by the Grants. It is a one-story frame, the main part being 16 by 19 J feet, with a steep roof, the pitch being five feet, and on the outside of the north end is a huge chimney, affording a spacious fireplace. In the front of the house, which is on the upper part of Indian Street and faces Indian Creek, is a door, on each side of which are windows, having small panes of glass. Internally were a living room and, at the south end, a bed-chamber, in which was born, April 27, 1822, the distinguished Gen. U. S. Grant. After this event his parents remained at Point Pleasant about a year, removing to Georgetown in 1823.
1820 A biography of Jesse Grant reports [88]:
In 1820 he moved to Point Pleasant, on the banks of the Ohio River, some twenty miles upriver from Cincinnati, and commenced working at Thomas Page's tannery in order to accumulate enough capital to open his own business. He also wanted a wife. Page pointed him in the direction of Bantam, ten miles to the north, where John Simpson and his family, migrants from Pennsylvania, had settled on land purchased from Page. Jesse was soon courting Hannah Simpson … and on June 24, 1821, Jesse Grant wed Hannah Simpson. The newlyweds returned to Point Pleasant, where Jesse had rented a simple white frame house next to the tannery.
1822 A description of Point Pleasant reports [89]:
Point Pleasant, a little village or hamlet on the Ohio, about twenty-five miles above Cincinnati, will ever be memorable as the birthplace of Gen. U.S. Grant. This event took place April 27, 1822. The next year the family removed to Georgetown, Brown county, which became his boyhood home. His father the year before had married Miss Hannah Simpson, of Tate township. At the time of his birth Jesse R. Grant was employed in the tannery of Thomas Page. The house in which the young and poor couple resided belonged to Lee Thompson. It remains as well preserved as originally built; a lean-to kitchen has since been added. It is a one-story frame, 16 x 19 feet, with a steep roof, the pitch being five feet, and on the right or north end is a huge chimney, affording a spacious fireplace. The window-panes are very small, and it was quite a humble domicile, having but two rooms; that on the right being the living-room, and that on the left the bedroom in which the general first saw the light.

Sarah Page (age 25, born Ohio) and Elizabeth Page (age 23, born Ohio), perhaps daughters by Thomas' second marriage, lived in the household of Barcilla Scott (age 68, born New Jersey) in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. [138] [139] Barzilla Scott [140] was Thomas Page's first cousin, son of his mother's brother, Barzillai Scott, if the relationships that we show are correct.
1850 Rebecca A Page (age 23, born in Ohio), Elizabeth A Page (age 27), and Sarah Jane Page (age 21) lived in Washington Twp, Clermont County, Ohio, in a household with William J Thompson (age 82), Elizabeth Thompson (age 63), Enoch G Sanders (age 13), and Charls Burnside (age 22). [141] However, these are plausibly children of William P Page, relationship unknown. [142]
A family bible, naming Thomas Page, was described by a great grand-daughter. The bible was held by Mary Page Sly [Mary A Sly was listed as an heir in the 1888 estate record of John Page, son of Thomas Page. Mary Page, daughter of John Page, married William Slye.]. [143]
Family Record
Page
This family record and early date were obtained by the writer from the Old Family Bible that belonged to my great grandfather, Thomas Page. It was in the possession of Mrs. Mary Page Sly, daughter of John Page Sr., an uncle of my father Wm. B. Page. Aunt Mary, as she was familiarly known was, at the time I visited her in 1892, 84 years old. She lived with a grand neice in Clarmont County, Ohio. She was 89 years old when she died.The Pages are of pure English descent, and came to Ohio from Burlington County, New Jersey.
Thomas Page is as far back as record goes. He was born in Burlington County, N.J., Sept. 13, 1772. Was joined in holy wedlock with Sarah Coat who was born January 30, 1772. They were among the early settlers of Ohio. They settled, at Point Pleasant, where he owned and operated a tannery. To them were born:
John Page Sept 8, 1794
Ashiel Page Sept. 11, 1796
Abner Page June 22, 1801
Daniel Page Nov. 2, 1804
Thomas Page May 14, 1807
To his second wife, Catharine were born:
Sarah Page June 9, 1819
Elizabeth Page July 13, 1822
Caroline Page March 29, 1826
George Page Sept. 21, 1829Jennie C Page - Grand Daughter [I suspect that this was Jane Carlet Page, daughter of William Benton Page, and grand-daughter of Abner Page. [144]]
1927-1929
1854 Thomas Page died in Cincinnati. He had a wife named Anna, and had butcher knives [perhaps previously used in the tanning business?]. His administrator, William Highland, reportedly had ties to Samuel Eacrit of Clermont County [the grantee in the deed dated 1808], as did Anthony Highland, who was involved with the inventory of the estate of Thomas Page. Note that the name of the widow, Anna, disagrees with the marriages shown here. This may not be the correct death record, but no others have been found.
1854 Administration notes of Thomas Page, deceased reported "Administration granted unto William Highland. The widow Anna Page, having filed her relinquishment of right to administer on said estate. Israel Brown and William Hoon, sureties, Bond $700. John J Galloway, John Sowers and Anthony Highland appr. Bond taken and letters issued." Dated September 26. [145] In March 1885, William Highland, administrator, petitioned to sell land for the estate of Thomas Page, widow Anna. The order was recorded in Volume 1, page 640 [146].
1854 Inventory for Thomas Page of Columbia Twp, Hamilton County includes butcher knives and livestock. Appraised by John Galloway, John Powers, Anthony Highland. [147]
1854 John Gallaway, John Powers, and Anthony Highland presented the inventory for the estate of Thomas Page, late of Columbia Twp, Hamilton County, and set off for the widow provisions for her support "twelve months from the time of the death of the said deceased". The inventory refers to a widow and includes butcher knives and livestock, a brass clock, and bonds. Dated October 9. [148]
1854 Land records for the estate of Thomas Page, deceased, have been indexed in Hamilton County. [149] [150]
1855 A biosketch of this Thomas Page reports that he died in Cincinnati aged 83 years. [151]
From "Recollections of an Old Pioneer" by J. B. Simmons [152]:
As stated in a previous letter all of our roads in 1812, except the Round Bottom road, were individual by ways or blazed paths. The first regularly laid out road after 1812 was one from the State road, at a point two or three miles west of Bethel, to the Ohio River, at the mouth of Big Indian Creek, crossing the Round Bottom road, where Laurel now stands. This was called the Page road, because Thomas Page, sen., father of John Page, of Laurel, petitioned for the road. The starting point was near where he lived, and gave him an out-let to Point Pleasant. This was in 1815 or 1816. Mr. Page was one of the first to build at Pt. Pleasant, and soon after moved there and started the first store I think ever started in Point Pleasant. He also built a small warehouse. In this warehouse I heard the singular and famous Lorenzo Dow preach in 1816 ...
A biosketch reports [153]:
In 1805, Thomas Page came from Burlington, New Jersey, to be a part of the Jersey Settlement, founded by Rev. John Collins. In 1807, on the west Fork of Poplar Creek in Tate township, he began a brick house that was enlarged in 1811, so as to be one of the most substantial houses in all the country for many miles around. In 1815, Page went to Point Pleasant, where he built the third house, opened the first store, and established a tannery. In the fall of 1818, John and Sarah Simpson came from Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, to Tate township with a well grown family, and made their home in the house built by Page. Meanwhile, Jesse R. Grant came from Ravenna, Ohio, to work at his trade in a tannery at Bethel. There were no foolish frills on those people who expected to succeed with labor on the farm or in the shop. Nor were they low spirited, for they were associates of the first and took part in the best that was doing. On June 24,1821, Jesse R. Grant and Hannah Simpson were married in her father’s home, which has thus become famous as the John Simpson home, where Hannah had grown as a lovely, unpretending country girl, who never lost the sweet simplicity of her ways. Yet, she was not unknown, for only six months before, she was the bridesmaid of Julia, the daughter of Senator Thomas Morris, at her marriage to the brilliant Dr. John G. Rogers, where the noted and eloquent Rev. George S. Light was the minister. These young people rated as simply good with none better. When housekeeping quickly began, the young couple went down to the mouth of Indian Creek and rented the tannery, built by Page, and not a log hut as often told, but a strong frame house, covered with good full inch Alleghany pine, and containing two nice rooms with a cellar, where none of their simple needs were stinted. The wife came from a home a few miles away, teeming with pioneer abundance. The husband overflowed with a sagacious energy that cleared fifty dollars a month. There, on April 27, 1822, a boy was born, whose main name was Ulysses. The other name was much discussed then and long after. After twenty-two months at Point Pleasant, Jesse Grant found that he had cleared eleven hundred dollars, of which one thousand was in silver, which proves that he was one in a thousand. He then left the mouth of Indian Creek and went across to White Oak, ...
Research Notes:
There are many unanswered questions about the life of Thomas Page. We welcome further evidence to clarify the story of this family.
1847 T Page was shown as a landowner in Springfield Twp, Hamilton County, Ohio. [154]
The Clermont County deed index records the land sales made by Thomas Page with grantor on left and grantee on right. [155] [156]
1840 Names in a store account book of H & S Bainum, Laurel, Ohio from Mar to Dec 1840 included names that might refer to Thomas' son and grand-son: Page, Cote (Michael?); Page, John; and Page, Michael C. [157]
1836 Wm Page Jr [relationship unknown] was taxed in Monroe Twp for town lots 37 and 38 and one house at Pt Pleasant. [158]
1837 Wm Page was taxed in Monroe Twp for town lots 37 and 38 and one house at Pt Pleasant. [159]
1838 Wm Page was taxed in Monroe Twp for town lots 37 and 38 and one house at Pt Pleasant. [160]
We seek information about several possible Page families, that might be related to this Thomas Page:
Thomas Page [161], married to Alice Scott, of Burlington County, New Jersey, had heirs Thomas and Catherine, of Ohio. We currently show them as parents of this Thomas, but we are not confident about this relationship.
William Page [162], born 1772 in New Jersey, and died 1834 in Moscow, Clermont County, Ohio, had a family home at Point Isabel (about seven miles from Point Pleasant). Census records suggest that this family lived in Kentucky for a while. Thomas' son John and Rachel Page were listed at Point Pleasant in the 1870 census. The History of Connellsville, Pennsylvania mentions several male Page citizens, who were related to the family of William Page. [163]
Benjamin Page [164], wrote a letter in 1834, before his death [165], which is recorded at the Hamilton County probate court: [Photocopy, Benjamin Page letter.] The letter named wife Martha, son William B Page, son-in-law William J Madeira, son-in-law Thomas Bakewell, and witness John H Page. The will of Benjamin Page, dated 6/17/1834, is filed in Box 6, Hamilton County Probate and names Martha Page and William Page. [166]
1810 Thomas Page was taxed in Chester Twp, Burlington County, New Jersey for "Improved land 15; houses/lots 0; horses 1; cattle 1; covering horses 0; householders 1". Who was this Thomas Page, still in Chester, New Jersey? [167]
Sarah Page, sister of Thomas Page, married Gamaliel Bailey, a prominent abolitionist. The birth of Ulysses S Grant was attended by John G Rogers at the tannery that Thomas Page built at Indian Spring. John G Rogers was a prominent abolitionist and participated in the Underground Railway to help slaves get freedom in the North. The Quakers were involved with the abolitionist movement. We seek further evidence relating the Page family to the abolitionist movement or the Underground Railroad.
John Rogers delivered Ulyses Grant. [168]
Dr. John Rogers Home Site: Underground railroad sites near Dayton you should visit, item 4. 307 Front St., New Richmond. About this location: Dr. John Rogers was one of the most vocal abolitionists of his time. He became the Clermont County Anti-Slavery Society’s first president in 1836 and helped blacks fleeing slavery in Kentucky. In 1843, he and Rev. Amos Dresser of Lane Seminary wrote a strongly worded anti-slavery statement for the New Richmond Presbyterian Church and submitted it to the Cincinnati Presbytery. Rogers also delivered Ulysses S. Grant in 1822. His house is one of the Clermont County Freedom Trail’s 33 abolitionist or Underground Railroad sites. Nineteen of the sites have been approved by the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Click her for more information about the Clermont County, Ohio Freedom Trail.

1802 Ruth Rogers got certificate for children Mary, Ann, and Levi at a meeting in Ohio. [173]
Greene, P.F. "John G. Rogers MD: A Biography of the Man who Delivered President Grant," Ohio State Medical Journal, 59 (Jan- Feb 1963): 37-38, 142-44.
Abolitionist Dr. John G. Rogers helped deliver Ulysses Grant in a one room cabin at Point Pleasant, Ohio in 1822. Later little Ulysses moved to Georgetown, Ohio, and as a teen attended school in both Maysville, Kentucky and Ripley, Ohio. Most childhood stories focus on his exceptional affinity for horses; what goes unmentioned is Ulysses’ environment -- an area of early, intense, enduring antislavery and Underground Railroad activity. [174]
Dr. John George Rogers was the first president of the Clermont County Anti-Slavery Society and a financial supporter of James G. Birney, publisher of The Philanthropist newspaper. A staunch abolitionist, Rogers along with Caleb Walker and the brothers Francis and Thomas Donaldson were the nucleus of a group called the Chieftains of Liberty, a vigilance committee set up to protect Birney’s press from destruction by pro-slavery mobs from Kentucky and Cincinnati.
Dr. Rogers practiced medicine for over 60 years and is most noted for the delivery of Hiram Ulysses Grant on April 27, 1822 in nearby Pt. Pleasant. The child became better known as Ulysses S. Grant, victorious general of the Union Armies in the American Civil War and 18th President of the United States. Rogers died in 1882 thus he was able to see the child that he delivered win the war that liberated 4 million enslaved African Americans, the goal that Rogers dedicated most of his life to accomplish. [175]
Forman White and Mary Rogers were parents of T.P. White. Mary Rogers was a sister of John G Rogers, prominent physician. [176]
Samuel Eacrit, named in the 1808 deed above, was perhaps Samuel Eacrit who died in November 1817, in Hamilton County, Ohio, spouse of Jemimah. Jemimah has been reported as Jemimah Ingersoll, who remarried Thomas Hanking after Samuel died. Samuel was reportedly born in 1865 in Burlington County, New Jersey. We seek further information about these families, especially any further relationships or interactions with the Page family of New Jersey.
