"Here lie the remains of the Honble Mann Page, Esquire, one of His
Majesty's Council, of the Colony of Virginia, who departed this life the
24th day of January, 1730, in the 40th year of his age. He was the only
son of the Honble Matthew Page, Esquire, who was likewise member of His
Majesty's Council. His first wife was Judith, daughter of Ralf Wormley,
Esquire, Secretary of Virginia, by whom he had two sons and a daughter.
He afterward married Judith, daughter of the Honble Robert Carter, Esquire,
President of Virginia, with whom he lived in the most tender reciprocal
affection for twelve years, leaving by her five sons and a daughter.
His public trust he faithfully discharged, with candour and discretion,
truth and justice. Nor was he less eminent in his private behaviour; for
he was a tender husband and indulgent father, a gentle master and faithful
friend, being to all courteous and beneficent, kind and affable. This
monument was piously erected to his memory by his mournfully surviving
lady."

Mann, and inherited Rosewell. The following is the inscription
