• Information: 1742, Kinglassie, , Fife, Scotland. Jane was the daughter of mariner and
merchant David Page and his wife, Jane Warren. Her parent's married somewhere in
New England in the early 1720s. David was born in either Belgium or Jamaica as his
father held property in both places, but lived in Strood. David owned a large manor at
Kinglassie, which is located across the bay from Edinburgh, and about twenty miles due

family held property at Strood, Boston, Bergen New Jersey, Brugge, Jamaica,
plantations at St. James Barbados, St. Nevis, and Charleston South Carolina. Jane's

Virginia February 16, 1771. He removed to Madison County Kentucky very early and
