Note:
Referring to the family of Mann, Bishop Meade writes:-
I crossed the creek and sought the old homestead of the Manns for some sepulchral monument, showing that tradition was true in relation to the residence of a family whose name is only to be found incorporated with other names, inheriting an estate which not only once covered the half of Gloucester, if reports be true, but was scattered in large parcels over numerous other counties. In or near the stable yare, in an open space, there is to be seen a pile of tombstones lying upon and beside each other, in promiscuous confusion, on which mary be read the following inscriptions: "Here lyeth the body of John MAnne of Gloucester County, in Virginia, gentleman, age sixty-three years, who departed this life 7th day of January, 1694." Also another: "Here lyeth the body of Mary Manne of the County of Gloucester, in the Colony of Virginia, gentlewoman, who departed this life the 18th day of March, 1703-7, age fifty-six years." The daughter and only child, married Matthew Page, son of John Page, the first of the family. She died 24th March, 1707; age, thirty-six years. They left an only son, Manne Page, who married, first, Judith, daughter of Ralph Wormley, Esq., Secretary of Virginia; and second, Judith, daughter of Hon. Robert Carter, President of Virginia.
