Sion Page, son of Uriah Page and his wife Gracey, was born about 1807. At age 21 in 1828, he married a young lady named Nancy, age 23. Some say that Nancy’s surname is DOVE while others say that her surname is ALMOND. As of today that issue has not been resolved.
Regardless, Sion and Nancy set about making a living as a Miner and raising a family. Over the next 23 years between 1829 and 1851 Sion and Nancy would have nine (9) children; three (3) sons and six daughters. After the birth of the 9 children Sion would change occupation from that of a Miner to become a farmer. Nancy stayed home keeping house and caring for the children.
The children of Sion and Nancy are:
i. Allen McDaniel Page, born 14 Aug 1829, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Sarah Huneycutt, 8 Dec 1853, Stanly County, North Carolina.
ii. Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" Page, born 30 Aug 1835, Stanly County, North Carolina; married James W. Huneycutt, 20 May 1855, Stanly County, North Carolina; died 23 Mar 1915, Stanly County, North Carolina.
iii. Rosa A. Page was born on 29 Apr 1838 in Stanly County, North Carolina. 10 11
iv. Lucy G. Page, born 1 Aug 1840, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Evan Smith, 8 Mar 1861, Albemarle, Stanly, North Carolina.
v. Mary Frances Page, born abt 1842, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Lindsey F. Whitley, 13 Dec 1896.

ix. Eliza Jane Page, born 24 Jun 1851, Stanly County, North Carolina; married Israel Hagler, 30 Jan 1873, Stanly County, North Carolina; died 2 Jan 1911.
Sometime between 1880 and October 1885, Nancy Page, wife of Sion Page passed away. No Will, tombstone or obituary has been found documenting her death. But, Sion Page wrote his Will on 30 October 1885 and no mention of his wife was made within the will. His entire estate was left to his daughter, Mary Frances Page.
No death date or tombstone has been found for Sion but we know from probate records that he died before October 1887.
In the document above, Mary F. Page applied for Letters of testamentary on the estate of her Father, Sion Page. This document, Application for Letters Testamentary, is dated 3 October 1887. Therefore we know that Sion Page was deceased before 3 October 1887.
Sion Page and his wife Nancy are my 3rd Great Grandparents.
