THE PAGE AND MANN FAMILIES
From the book: «i»Old Virginia Houses«/i» (author unknown) pages sent from Par Corson of Rosamond, Ca.
Page 10: The ample rambling old mansion known as Timberneck Hall stands on the York River, opposite Ringfield, and not far from Powhatan's Chimney, which was built for Powhatan by Capt. John Smith. It was built by the first John Catlett in the county, c1776 [and of that printing] is now the house of Mr. & Mrs John Catlett--who are the fifth generation descendants of the first John.
In the latter half of the 17th C. it was the home of John Mann and his wife Mary. Their only child and heiress, was born at Timberneck in 1672. She was married to Matthew Page, son of Sir John Page of Williamsburg-and for some years lived at Timbernect with her parents. Practically all trace of the original Timberneck House is gone. About one hundred years ago Bishop Meade visited the scene and referred to the place as "Mr. Catlett's farm." In or near the stable yard, in an open place, he found tombstones lying around, or piled on each other. Acording to one of these tombstones, Matthew and Mary Page had buried a daughter here, Elizabeth, age three years. She died March 15, 1693.
John and Mary Mann were buried here. He died January 7, 1694, aged 63...She died March 1703-4, aged 56.
When John Mann died, his name died with him, but his daughter named her son Mann, and among his descendants..especially the Pages, the name has been used in every generation, for more than 200 years.
Part of John Mann's vast acres passed to his daughter, and on to her descendants, the Pages. It was sold in 1837 and it ultimately declined until it destruction by fire in 1916.
NOTE: The Page tombs at Rosewell were removed to Abingdon Episcopal Churchyard, Abingdon, Gloucester Co.,Va. in Dec. 1969. Twenty members of the family are now there. This includes Hon. Col. Matthew Page-his wife Mary Mann, his son Hon. Mann Page and his wife Judith Wormeley. These can be found on «i»findagrave.com«/i»

------------------------------------
From the «i»Colonial Williamsburg mag Winter 1993-94 The Ruins of Rosewell«/i»:
"Matthew Page died in 1703, and his widow who owned the Rosewell tract through dower right, married his cousin John Page. Two years later Mary Mann died. She left the land and the home to her son Mann Page I, who was then in England acquiring the education, taste, and aspirations of an English gentleman."
NOTE: Matthew Page & his wife Mary Mann built their home-a home that, until recently-was unknown. Excavations at Rosewell indicated that their son built the great Rosewell mansion on top of his father's original Rosewell. (See notes for Hon. Mann Page)
