There is no documentation for the existence of a woman named Louisa Page.

Research Notes

NOTE. HIGHLY Disputed Profile.

Extensive material is available about John Page and Alice Luken that clearly prove they did NOT have a daughter named Louisa, Louise, Gowen or any variation.

If Louisa/Louise ever existed, she cannot be John Page's daughter.

Her purported husband, James Dillard or James Stephen Dillard has been proven to be a non existent person under that exact name.

There was a James Dillard in St. Peter's Parish with a son James, but no James Stephen.

“This James Stephen Dillard married, but the name of his wife is somewhat clouded, but was probably a Miss Lewisa Page. [2]”

No record of such a person have been found.

It has been proven that most of H. Moorman Dillard's Genealogy is not based on sound facts. There was never anyone named James Stephen Dillard nor anyone named George d'Illard from England who came as an attorney for the King.

Please see disproven Profile on WIKI for lengthy discussion.

James Stephen Dillard, born 1658, was said to be the son of George Dillard. The existence of anyone named James Stephen Dillard is disproven. Some records of a real James Dillard have been identified, which appear at James Dillard. H. M. Dillard reported that "According to George Dillard's will he had one son, but it is believed he had more and two daughters. This son, James Stephen, came to America at the age of two. He married Louise Page and settled in James City County, Virginia. He, with Captain Wise, was granted 25,000 acres of land known as Williamsburg Plantation."[6] However:
No record of a John Stephen Dillard has been found.

There is no record of such a person being granted 25,000 acres known as the Williamsburg Plantation.

Dorothy Dillard Hughes asserts, This person was not from Wiltshire, did not live in Virginia and was not the son of George Dillard. [5]

Hughes adds that "There was no James Stephen Dillard, but there was a James Dillard of record, who very well could have been George Dillard's son. This James Dillard had a son, James, also of record, who probably was the ancestor of some later Dillards, but he was not the progenitor of all later Dillards, as a number of printed genealogies imply. Dillards with other given names also had children. [5]

James Dillard, son of James, born 1710. This profile contains some documented information and also legendary information, as well as Henry Moorman Dillard's listing of Dillard descendants.
