Thomas Scudder Page (April 19, 1800-April 17, 1877) came to Frankfort from Richmond, Virginia in 1817. He was born in New York, the son of John and Harriet Eliza Page, and moved to Virginia two years later. His father died when he was five, and he left school in 1810. After an apprenticeship and other jobs, he met Reverend Silas M. Noel from Frankfort who influenced his move to Frankfort and was his mentor.

He immersed himself in the business and political life of the capital city and had widespread real estate and banking interests. Two marriages bolstered his position in the community. First he married Sophia W. Woolfolk, sister in law of Amos Kendall and daughter of a Jefferson County landowner, William Woolfolk. After her death, in 1828 he married Jane Briggs Julian (March 20, 1811-February 26, 1889), daughter of Dr. Charles Julian, a prospersous landowner in the Bridgeport neighborhood. Page built a handsome house at 206 Washington Street in 1831. They had at least ten children, including Jane Julian Page who married William H. Averill. In the 1860s the house was sold to Averill, and his family lived there until it was demolished in the early 1950s.
