We are really stuck in connecting our Page family to John Page of Roswell House Virgina, friend of Thomas Jefferson. The furthest back we can get is to Geoge Baylor Page born Farquier Co. in 1787, and George Page, died 22 Feb 1822 in Farquier,Co. VA. whose wife was Mary. Could her maiden name be "Baylor" Have no proof of this, nor birth date for George the elder.

New family info would be wonderful. Maybe someone who started their family history a couple years ago and hasn't "reached out" to other family members would know something we haven't found.

Hi Linda~
I'm searching for Mathesons with connections to either Kildonan Sutherland or the Red River Settlement. Where are your Mathesons from?

My Mathesons are from Caithness and Sutherlandshire. Gils Canisby has the Caithness "farm" still owned by my Matheson cousins. Orkney View is the house on the cliff in Portsherra, Sutherlandshire. The town is full of Mackay's which is the maiden name of my great grandmother Matheson. I have been in both houses. William Matheson is my great great grandfather

I found George Page's inventory of property at death and I know where Mann Page's will is located. I will be looking at his will soon along with any other Page that could be connected and possibly be Geroge Page's father.

I've done anything on here execpt sign up as of yet...Been busy doing other things...Only if we could clone ourselves!!

I see you have a Bartle. I have a Bartles. Also spelled Bartel or Bartels. The immigrants were a sister Augusta who married a Kleffman in York PA, a brothers Charles, Frederick and Henry. They came to PA in the late 1850's. These names ring a bell?

Hej Linda!

We are cousins but I lost contact with you when you moved a number of years ago,

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Matheson, William's sister, who married James Sutherland.

My grandmohter was Elizabeth Innes Sutherland who married George Arthur Rosie..

Hej Linda!

I only have one picture of my grandmother Elizabeth Innes and her brother James Sutherland c 1910 I suppose. I would love to have other pictures that could be the Mathesons.

So yes there were a James Sutherland Sr. and Jr.. Elizabeth Matheson died in 1913 in Lanark, James Sr died in Edinburgh in 1924 and James Jr married Margaret Leithead in 1925 and died in 1958.

Do you know anything about William and Elizabeth's brother John? I know he married an Alexina Mckay in Dickinson County in 1888 and moved back to Scotland around 1891 but am having trouble finding anything out about him or his future wife while they were in America. I believe Alexina was supposed to marry the father of her son John McDonald in the US but for some reason ended up marrying John Matheson instead. All of them were still in Scotland for the 1881 census.

I am working with a couple of people to try and prove or disprove that a John H McDonald b c 1862 and lived here in Montana, Colorado and finally California is the same person.

He worked for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, One of the people I am workng with wondered if the Matheson's were friends.
