Thomas Page married and settled on the south side of Little Pee Dee, on the place where S. L. Page now resides ; I do not know who his wife was ; he raised one son, an only child, his name was William ; he married a Miss Smith, daughter of old Samuel Smith, who lived and died about 1843, just below "Temperance Hill," on the road from Buck Swamp Bridge to Marion Court House. That marriage connects the Page and Smith families. Captain William Page was an excellent citizen and a very successful farmer, and accumulated a large property ; he died in 1859 ; he left four sons, Samuel T., John S., William J. and Pinckney Page; the latter married a daughter of the late John L. Smith; he was killed or died in the war ; left three children, I think, a son and two daughters I do not know much about them. John S. Page married Miss Louisa Bass, and died about the beginning of the war, and left four or five children. William, a son of John S., was killed in 1873 or '4, in a posse of Sheriff Berry's, in trying to make an arrest. One of the daughters is now the wife of C. J. McColl, a cotton buyer at Mullins, S. C. The oldest son of Captain William Page, Samuel T., got into some trouble, in 1865, with the military authorities then stationed in Marion; he sold out his plantation, now owned by J. Robert Reaves; eluding the "Yankees," he went West, and for years it was not . generally known where he was — he was in Mississippi ; he remained there for twenty years or more, when he returned to Marion with his wife ; she soon died, and he has been with his son, John K. Page, and still lives with him ; he is in his eighty third year. John K. Page, with whom the old gentleman lives. is a very trustworthy man, a good manager and very prosperous. William J. Page, another son of Captain William Page, resides on his father's old homestead ; he married, first, a Miss Grice, by whom he had eighteen children, and raised sixteen of them to be grown, sons and daughters, most of whom are married ; they are all unknown to the writer, except the oldest son, J. Lawrence Page, a Magistrate for years, and a very good one, and a useful man ; he lives on the homestead of his great-grand-father, Thomas Page; he has children grown and married unknown to the writer, except the second wife of John K. Page. William J. Page is over three score years and ten, but vigorous and active, a good citizen. Old Captain William Page had several daughters; one married Joseph Deer (the name now extinct in Marion County) ; Deer died, and the widow married Rev. John B. Platt, of the South Carolina Conference; I think she had two sons and three daughters by the Deer marriage; Wm. P. Deer and John were the sons; Mrs. William Watson, one of the daughters, still survives; one other daughter, Ellenora, never married, and is dead ; the last daughter, Elizabeth, married John E. Elvington. By the Platt marriage, she had a son, R. B. Platt, a Magistrate, near Mullins, S. C, and two daughters, Mrs. B. Gause Smith, and the late Mrs. Dr. C. T. Ford; they all have large families. Another daughter of Captain William Page married D. W. Platt; they moved to Mississippi, fifty years ago or more. Another daughter married George J. Bethea, and still survives she had two sons, William A. Bethea and John D. Bethea, and several daughters; I do not know whom they married, except that one married W. B. Ellen and one married W. Joseph Watson, and is dead, leaving several children. Another daughter of Captain William Page married the late Samuel Watson, and is dead ; she left at her death, W. Joseph Melton, S. P. and Stonewall C. Watson, and two daughters, Sophronia and Maggie. W. Joseph Watson removed to North Carolina. Melton is dead, without child or children; he married a daughter of the late Charles Moody, who still survives. Sophronia was the first wife of John K. Page ; she left two sons, Samuel and Ernest. Maggie married Frank Easterling, a very worthy citizen, and is doing well. Another daughter of old Captain William Page married Levi H. Hays, and was the mother of our very worthy fellow-citizen, W. B. Hays, in Hillsboro Township. ;
