("To the sacred and most pious memory of his most beloved wife, Judith, cut down in the very flower of her age, this moment of grief was erected by the Honourable Mann Page Esquire.

«/i» Judith died in childbirth at the age of 22-three days after the birth of her third child who also died. This monument erected by her husband:
"To the Sacred and Pious Memory of his most beloved wife, Judith, cut down in he very flower of her age, his Monument of grief was erected by the Honourable Mann Page Esquire. She was a most worthy daughter of the very illustrious Ralph Wormeley of County Middlesex, Esquire, formerly also a most deserving Secretary of Virginia. She was a most excellent and choice lady who lived in the state of most holy matrimony for four years and as many months. She left one survivor of each sex, Ralph and Maria, true likenesses of their Father and Mother. She also had a third named Mann, who scarcely five days surviving under this silent marble was inclosed with his mother. On the third day after his birth she exchanged mortality for immortality. Alas, grief! She was a most afftectionate wife, the best of mothers, and an upright mistress of her family, in whom the utmost gentleness was united with the most graceful suavity of manners and conversation. She died on the twelfth day of December in the One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixteenth year and the tweny second of her age." (This is translated from the inscription which was written in Latin)

Bible inscription probably written by Mann Page: "Mann Page son of Judith & M. Page born the 8th of December, about three of the clock in the morning. 1716. On the twelfth day of December (the most unfortunate that ever befell me)about seven of the clock in the morning, the better half of me, my dearest dear wife, was taken from me, after she had endured the bitterest pangs of death about thirty hours, with the greatest patience imaginable, and most absolute resignation to the blessed will of God." (This was from an old Family Bible, which was in the possession of Frederick M. Page, son of Capt. Thomas Jefferson Page, U.S. Navy)
