WHERE HAVE THEY ALL GONE
It's interesting to note where some of the descendents of Thomas Page and Sarah Robbins relocated to when they left Massachusetts. All 9 children of Thomas Page and Sarah Robbins were born in Walpole, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts. Of the 9 children, only 2 actually stayed in the town of Walpole where they were born. Another child lived close by in Stoughton, MA. and the other remaining children relocating out of state.
The Original 9 Children:
Thomas Page Jr. married Elizabeth Allen and relocated to Keene, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire.
Sarah Page married Ebenezer Rhodes and relocated to Marlborough, Cheshire Co., Hew Hampshire.
Asa Page married Susannah Rhodes and appears to have remained in Walpole, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts all his life.
Charles Page married 1) Elizabeth Withington, 2) Mary Wales 3) Elizabeth Henery and appears to have been in Stoughton, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts most of his life.
Mary Page married Benjamin Wells and appears to have relocated to New York.
Ebenezer Page married Lydia Peck and relocated to Keene, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire.
Joseph Page married Lois Turner and appears to have remained in Walpole, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts all his life.
Anne Page married Timothy Ellis and relocated to Keene, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire but at some point in time relocated back to Dedham, Norfolk Co., MA.
Libbeus Page married Susannah Wales, younger sister of Mary Wales(?) and relocated to Marlborough, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire.
Why the majority of sons and daughters of Thomas and Sarah relocated to New Hampshire is unclear to me. All the sons fought in the War of Independence and possibly they were given land in return for the military service? Possibly they relocated to New Hampshire because this was cheap land at the time. I just don't know.
Where some of the other families relocated to.
It appears this is where people stayed from the later 1700's until the mid 1850's or possibly slightly earlier. Of course there were those who relocated locally. Such as Walpole to Foxborough, Sharon to Franklin, Milton to Dorchester etc. etc.
Some of those who headed West and North were......
