Life

William E. Page, who appears in every contemporary record as William F. Page, was born in Georgia on 20 September 1830, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and does not name his parents.1 Inference The "E." of the tree and of his Find a Grave entry is probably a misreading of "F."; the marriage and census records all give F.1 The federal census of 1850 lists him as William Page in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of William S. Page in Chambers County, Alabama.2 On 23 December 1852 he married Bethena A. McKinney, a daughter of Eli McKinney, in Chambers County.3 The tree names two daughters, Sarah Emma (1854–1936) and Alice E. Page (1857–1915).4 The census of 1860 lists Wm. F. Page as the head of a household in the Northern Division of Chambers County, with his wife Bythenia.5 According to the tree, he enlisted on 10 March 1862 as a private in Company A of the Fifth Battalion of Hilliard's Legion; no service record is attached.6 His wife died at Fredonia on 17 September 1862, and he died there on 20 December 1862; he was buried in the Fredonia Methodist Church Cemetery.7 Two 1857 marriage index entries attached to his profile read "Wm F Page" with Sarah McKinney and with Permelia A. McKinney.8 Inference These are almost certainly misreadings of the marriage of James M. Page and Permelia A. McKinney on 24 or 25 November 1857, since William's own wife Bethena was alive and living with him in 1860.8
