  • Name John PAGE  [1, 2
    • The emigrant ancestor of the Page family was John Page, who came in the fleet with Winthrop, was admitted freeman in Boston May, 1631. He was from Dedham, Essex County, England. [1]
    • John Page lived in London, Middlesex Co., and later moved to Dedham,Essex Co., fifty-seven miles northeast of London. He emigrated to America with his wife, Phebe and three children, William, Phebe and Daniel (dates of birth unknown) in the ship "Jewell", one of the fleet under the leadership of John Winthrop. They left the port of Yarmouth, England, on April 8, 1630, and landed at Salem, Massachusetts. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Charleston, and then to the peninsula which is now occupied by the city of Boston. This company of about one hundred persons, of whom John Page was a member, purchased the entire peninsula from William Blackstone for a sum equalling about one hundred and fifty dollars. They became the first real settlers of what is now the city of Boston. The Colonists, however, were dissatisfied with the soil there for farming purposes, and many members of the colony moved to Watertown, about seven miles west of Boston. John Page lived at Watertown until the time of his death, December 18, 1676, at the age of about ninety years. His wife, Phebe died September 25, 1677, age eighty-seven years. John Page was a rather prominent man in the community, being appointed by the court first constable of Watertown. He was admitted a freeman on May 18, 1631, and a record shows that his house was burned in the same year, 1631. [2]
