"Upon the Palisado" and Other Stories of Place from Bruton Heights by John Metz Jennifer Jones Dwayne Pickett And David Muraca

When John Page died in 1692, the move of the capital was still to come, but his central location in Middle Plantation and his emergence as one of the most powerful men in the colony by the 1680s meant that he was a driving force in the move. Page left his Middle Plantation estate to his eldest son, Francis. Like his father, Francis Page enjoyed a successful political career. He rose more quickly within the ranks of government than his father had, and his future prospects looked even brighter. Francis however, died within three months of his father. ; Although his mother, Alice Lukin Page, continued to live in the house at Bruton Heights until her own death in 1698, Francis left his property, including the Bruton Heights estate, to his daughter, Elizabeth, and requested that it be leased until she reached the age of majority. Elizabeth had married her first cousin, John Page, by 1699, and Elizabeth and John may have lived in the house for a short time. Elizabeth died in 1702 at the age of twenty, leaving behind two small children, John and Elizabeth. She left the property to her husband John. ; In 1705, three years after Elizabeth's death, John II married Mary Mann, the widow of John Pages I's son, Mathew, and moved to Gloucester County. It was there, shortly after 1721, that Mary's son by her first marriage, Mann Page, started to construct an immense manor house called Rosewell. The last inhabitant of the Middle Plantation house was probably John Page III, the son of John II and Elizabeth. Unfortunately, very little is known about him from the documentary record. He appears to have gone to England with his father in 1709 and returned to Virginia some time between 1718 and December 5, 1727, when he died. Identified as "late of York County in the Colony of Virginia," he was buried at Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg (YCR, DOW 1728:523-24). It is likely that between his return to Virginia and his death John III stayed at the family house outside Williamsburg. Destruction of the Page House Archaeological evidence of the final resident of the house is relatively abundant due to a single calamitous event. The Page house burned either shortly before or shortly after the death of John Page III. If John Page III did live at the house, his tenure was very brief, and he left few clues either archaeological or historical that definitively proves he was there in the late 1720s. If he was residing in the house at the time it burned, the artifacts retrieved from the cellar would relate to his occupation. If it burned after his death, these items may represent the remnants of his unsettled inventory. There is no documentary evidence, but archaeological evidence is predicated most convincingly on the recovery of coarseware ceramics made at the Yorktown pottery, postdating 1725, and with the absence of artifacts first manufactured after 1730.

From CompuServe GEDCOM "Mann1.ged":
Stone in Williamsburg, James Co., Virginia. Emigrated from England to America (Virginia) about 1653 when he was 26 years old. He was a merchant. He was: baptized in England, 26 Dec 1628. Member of the King's Council. No will was found--perhaps destroyed in the American Revolution. He was buried in Old Bruton Church Cemetery. The original coat of arms and inscription on the marker was struck by lightning. A replacement was made by John Page--now in the cemetery of the old church.
