Good Morning bloggers! Welcome to this week’s Transcription
Tuesday! This week in the ledger is a page addressed to Jonas Page. According
to the Early History of Dunwhich Township 1790-1903, an assessment roll of the Village of
Tyrconnell in 1858 states Mr. Page had owned 2 lots (most lots in the time
period were 1/5 to ¼ of an acre in size). Jonas Page also may have contributed to
the Methodist community. Many
circuit-riders of the Methodist community often lodged at Henry Coyne’s hotel
at Coyne’s Corner and in the homes surrounding it including Jonas Pages home.
*If you have more information on Jonas Page please feel free
to contact us here at the Backus-Page House. Have a good week and don’t forget
to tune in next week as we look at a page in the ledger addressed to James
Blackwood.
