From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Mann Page (1749–1781) was an American lawyer and planter from Spotsylvania County, Virginia. He was a delegate for Virginia in the Continental Congress in 1777.
Mann was the third of that name and is sometimes referred to as Mann Page, III. He was born to Mann Page and Ann Tayloe (his second wife) on their plantation of Rosewell in Gloucester County, Virginia. Mann was one of the younger of seven children. He attended William and Mary before reading law.
Page moved to Spotsylvania County and established his own plantation, known as Mannsfield near Fredericksburg. He married Mary Tayloe (a cousin of his mother), and the couple had three children. He served only one term in the Continental Congress.
Mann Page died at home in 1781, and was buried in the family plot at Mannsfield. The plantation was mostly destroyed during the Battle of Fredericksburg in the Civil War, but a remnant remains in the battlefield park.
