I John Emery of Groton in the County of Caledonia aged eighty eight years do depose and say that I have been in this Town sixty years last October. I was one of the earliest settlers in Town. I remmember when Enoch Page moved into this Town. He came here in A. D. 1801. He formerly lived in Massachusetts in old Haverhill and moved from there to Andover New Hampshire and from there to this Town. Had several children when he came into Town. Enoch Page, John Page and Sarah Wormwood, who live here, are his children. He has one son by the name of Benjamine, he lives just across the Town line in the Town of Topsham.  Old Mr Enoch Page is dead. He died in this Town some over forty years ago. The said Page was reputed to have been in the revolutionary war and it was so understood in the neighborhood where he lived. Old Mr Enoch Page lived on a farm when he first came into Town that belonged to old Mr James Heath. His Widow Isabel Page survived him a good many years and died in this Town at her son John Page's some time ago. I was well acquainted with her untill her death. Mosses Page, Leveret
Page 44

Page, Samuel Page all died in this Town. I should think that old Mrs Isabel Page was eighty years old when the time she died.

I Dolly Page of Groton in the county of Caledonia being now seventy four years old do depose and say that I moved into this Town in the year A. D. 1800 and have lived here ever since. My husband's name was Mosses Page. He was a son of Enoch Page and Isabel page now deceased. Enoch Page, my Father in law died in this Town forty five years ago and his wife Isabel Page survived him untill May the ninth A. d. 1838. My husband Moses Page died the first day of December after my mother in law died. She never was married after her husband Enoch Page died. Enoch Page and his wife came into this Town in A. D. 1801. They moved from Haverhill Massachusetts to New Andover New Hampshire and from that Town to this Town. I know this fact for the reason that I and my husband moved from Sanbornton New Hampshire and Town bridges joined that Town Enoch Pages wife's name was before she was married to the said Enoch Page was Isabel [illegible]
Page 47

they had ten children their names were as follows Alice Page was born Sept 22d 1775, Moses Page July 20th 1777, Marry Page born Sept 17th 1779, Enoch Page born May 10th 1781, Isabel Page born August 18th 1783, Sarah Page born June 10th 1787, John Page born August 16th 1789, Benjamine Page born December 5th 1791, Leverett Page born March 2d 1794, Samuel Page born August 12th 1796. Alice Page Married Abel Wright and she died over forty years ago. Marry Page marrried a man by the name of William Flanders and she died seven years ago. Isabel Page married a man by the name of Hoit and moved to Canada and is dead. I suppose because she has not been heard from for sixteen years.  She had a cancer on her eye when she left and no doubt is dead before this time pains having been taken to find out about her. Samuel Page died in this Town in A. D. 1827 and Leverett Page died in this Town twelve years ago. Enoch Page's children are all dead except Enoch Page, John Page, Benjamine Page and Sarah Wormwood. They all live in this Town.
Page 48

My Father [illegible] Enoch Page was out in the revolutionary war. He served in A. D. 1775 as Lieutenant in Col. Fry's Regiment. He was also a Captain in the revolutionary war and went to Rhode Island in A. D. 1777. I only know these facts from family history. I have heard him relat a great many war dates about the war and also heard him tell a great deal about how much he sufered whilst he was out. My mother in law Isabel Page died at her son's house in this Town. She died at John Page's.

Application for a certificate of the services of Enoch Page in the revolutionary war by his son Enoch Page of Groton Vermont.

State of Vermont
Caledonia County ss.
The application of Enoch Page the secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is requested to furnish evidence from the rolls in his office of the services of Enoch Page who was a Lieutenant or Ensign in Captain Ballard's Company and in Col. Frys Regiment. Co.l Frys was from Nottingham New Hampshire. He served as Lieutenant in the year A.D. 1775 some six or eight months in the war of the revolution. I have heard him tell a great many times about his service in said war and have seen the money that he got for his pay. It became worthless and when Father moved from Haverhill Massachusetts it stuck up over the mantle piece the

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Enoch Page is borne on the rolls of 8 mo. service in 1775, as Lt. in Capt. William Hudson Ballard's Co., Col. Fryes Reg't. of Nottingham (N. H.) last return dated Oct. 6. It appears by petr. of his Lt. Col. that although he had served from commencement of service he had not rec'd his commission, it was ordered in Council Nov. 8, 1775 that Genl. Washington be recommended to issue a commission to him.
There appears to be no evidence of any other service by any person of the name.
