These are some of the things I have found so far on The Page family.

Evert's Page 317 Tate Township

"On the farm settled by one of them, (part of the "Jersey Settlement")
Thomas Page, occurred an event which had much to do with the destiny of
the nation, - the marriage of the parents of Gen. U.S. Grant. In the
fall of 1818, John Simpson moved from Montgomery Co., Pa., and settled
on the Page place which he had purchased the year before, moving into a
brick house, part of which was erected in 1807 and fully completed in
1811, and which yet stands in a good condition."

It goes into the Simpson family at this point. I would say your Thomas
built that house see the note on Monroe Township. I assume this is the
house that still stands today, maybe someone else knows for sure.

Evert's Page 336 Franklin Township

About this time Joshua Pigman settled in the sane neighborhood (Bear
Creek). He had two sons -Joshua and Levi- and a daughter, -Sarah,-who
married Rev. Walter Griffith, a Methodist minister, who lived a long
time at Neville, but who died while on a visit to Urbana fifty years ago
(1850). Joshua Pigman Jr., was for many years a merchant at Sargent's
Mills and at Neville. His brother Levi was a trader on the river and
died on his return home, about fifty years ago (1850).

Evert's page 384 Monroe Township

In 1805 Thomas Page moved from Burlington, N.J., to a farm in Tate,
which became known as the Simpson place, and on which he erected a brick
house in 1807. In 1815, he moved to Point Pleasant, where he had the
first store, and after residing there a number of years moved to
Cincinnati, where he died in 1855, aged eighty-three years. His family
had among other members a son John, who married Rachel Hartman, of
Jackson, Jan. 9, 1817, and who after living a few years at Point
Pleasant, settled east of Laurel, where they yet reside at extreme
ages,-eighty-five and eighty-three. Abner, the third son of Thomas
Page, married a daughter of Levi Pigman, and settled on the Big Indian,
a mile above Point Pleasant, where he died in 1827.

Thomas Page was a Property Holder in 1826 and served on the grand jury

I already posted the info from page 387 about the first road being Page
Road.

All for now. Hope this helps.
