"Rosewell construction started in 1725 by Mann Page I (1691–1730), who married Judith Carter in 1718, the daughter of Robert Carter I. Mann Page attended Eton College and Oxford University in England. He was appointed to the Governor's Council of the Virginia Colony soon after his return to Virginia. In 1775 he started construction of Rosewell , yet died just five years later, and did not see Rosewell completed. After Mann Page's death Rosewell passed to his wife Judith. Mann Page's son saw the house through to completion after his father's death.
The surviving stones from Rosewell were moved in December 1969 by Preservation Virginia (formerly APVA) to Abingdon Episcopal Church Cemetery. Inscriptions were transcribed in 1893 by Dr. Lyon G. Taylor who published in the W&M Quarterly, 1st series, Vol. 3, pages 185-189."
