Celia White

Not the daughter of Thomas Nelson Page & Julianna Page

I think Celia's father is Thomas Nelson Page (son of Mann Page) 1711-1735, Would have been 20 at her birth.

Disputed Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Page-4431

Celia Page (Brant) is not the daughter Of Thomas Nelson Page b: 1792 and Juliana Randolph b: 1711. Just look at Thomas Nelson alleged father of Celia page. Look at the birth dates. Celia Page 1731, her father Thomas b: 1792 and his wife Juliana Randolph b: 1711. I have information from other researchers and Celia's father and mother have not been confirmed. The rest of the info here is correct.

NOTE ON THE DISPUTE: the date of birth for Thomas Nelson Page must be incorrect or he'd have been 81 years younger than his wife! [Update: corrected birth date for Julianna Randolph. She was born 1805.]

Also seen as the daughter of a Thomas Nelson Page (b 1711 - d 1735), son of Mann Page I of Rosewell). Cannot find such a person.

I have the following text from a letter from Mary White Pearson to her son, James Madision Pearson,Paradise, Mississippi,January 14, 1876.I have no way to verify the information.This information is in conflict with the Ackerly and Parker book "Our Kin".I'd be interested in anything anyone has found on this branch of the family.

"Now about the Whites. My grandfather White named Henry (called Harry) came from England when about 18 years old. Grandmother came over in the same ship. She was about 10 years old. Her name was Celia Bryant.They settled in Virginia in Buckingham County. I don't know what time they were married. They had eleven children (and they were all good honest people - not a drunkard among them - and they all had property). John White was the oldest child. …. “

RE: Mary White Pearson's letter (dictated for Mary, more than likely, by one of her children)

There are a number of factual errors in the letter, the most glaring being the name of Celia Page which Mary declares, incorrectly, to be "Celia Bryant."Ancestors are still trying to determine why Mary used the Bryant name when, in previous communications (e.g., with W.W David just before Mary's own death), she noted that her grandmother was a Page of Virginia.
