Mary Tayloe Page
Mary Tayloe Page (1759–1835) was the daughter of John Tayloe II and Rebecca Plater of Mount Airy, Virginia, and the wife of Mann Page of Mansfield. Her surviving family correspondence from 1809 to 1834 is preserved in the Page papers at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture. These letters document relationships across the Page, Tayloe, and Burwell families. The museum’s lifespan conflicts with a secondary genealogy giving 1803; her husband’s dates also require care.
