Ancient English Pages of Kent and London

The Probable Ancestors of the Pages of Colonial Connecticut and Maine

A hard cover book published in 1992, The Descendants of Robart Page of the King's House --- The Probable English Origins, Ancestors, and Relatives of George Page of Branford, Connecticut and Thomas Page of Saco in the Province of Maine, is being offered together with an Addendum on CD-ROM printed in August 2002 by the author, Col. George W. Page, U.S. Army (Ret.) of Bryans Road, MD.

Robart Page lived in the late 1300's in the King Edward III's manor house at Gravesend, county Kent, England, where his father was in the service to the King.

This authoritative and carefully researched and documented book uses parish and court records, deeds, wills, Visitation pedigree charts, monumental brasses, and other historical documents to present ancestry data and eleven generations of Robart's 300 descendants who lived in western Kent and eastern London from the Plantagenet through the 17th century of English history.

Descendent and allied families include: Page, Herendon, Swanne, Martyn, Parker, Collins, Rogers, Kempe, Dudley, Stevens, Somer(s), Strickland, Danvers, Thinne, Willet, Cressey, Yardly, Lemon, Haward, Boucher, and Edolph.

Evidence is presented to associate the immigrant (c.1662) George Page of Branford, Connecticut, with George Page (baptized at Shorne, Kent, England on 6 Sept. 1635) with the Robart Page Kentish line of Pages. The history and background of Branford, Connecticut, including the Baker, Barnes, Collins, Dayton, Goldhatch, Linsley, Page, Parker, Potter, Stapleton and Swaine families, are also presented together with an eleven generation Descendants Chart with over 1100 indexed descendants and spouses of George Page of Branford. Many of his descendants removed to upstate New York after the American Revolutionary War.

Evidence is presented to associate the immigrant (c.1635) Thomas Page of Saco, Maine, with the Robart Page line of Pages who lived in Shipbourne, Kent, England. The history and background of Saco, Maine, including the descendants of Thomas Page to include members of the Page, Cummings, Edgecomb, Grant, Littlefield, Mott, Oakes, Soper, and Travis families, are also presented. Through some of these descendants, Thomas Page and his wife, Elizabeth Felkin, were ancestors of (John) Calvin Coolidge (Jr.), the 30th President of the United States of America as well as the Littlefields of Block Island and Rhode Island. No proven PAGE family descendants of Thomas & Elizabeth (Felkin) Page have been found.
