I did not anticipate the scope of this project, since I had not yet completed much of the research. The Pace and Hammond lines were fairly well known from my previous research and analysis of the available data. However, the Keel, Kelsey, and Parker lines were a total surprise. Because of the size of the final product, this research is presented in two volumes. Volume I covers the research on Henry Alexander and Abigail (Hammond) Pace and Henry A.'s ancestors. Volume II covers the ancestors of Abigail Hammond. These volumes are intended primarily for the descendants of Henry Alexander and Abigail (Hammond) Pace. The information included is based on research completed by me as of July 1, 2009. There is still much to be done, but at least this much has been completed and documented. There may be errors in the content, but such errors can be corrected in the future as additional records and research expertise are brought to bear on the subject. Information about the Pace line extends back to approximately 1610 A. D., but data on both the Pace and Keel lines is severely limited due to the destruction of county court and family records in the South during the Civil War. The Hammond line goes back only to about 1815 A. D. I was pleasantly surprised to find information about the Kelsey and Parker lines extends to 1620 A. D., the Pilgrim/Puritan period in America's history. Vast sources of information are available to the modern researcher, particularly through New England Historic Genealogical Society's Internet connection, newenglandancestors.org. The quantity of original records and the transcription and publication of such records together with their availability in libraries and on the Internet made research into the early New England area almost overwhelming. I discovered many errors in previously recorded data during the research process and have corrected these after a thorough review of the sources cited in this document. Many researchers did not have ready access to the records available today, but their work has made possible much of mine. In addition, I have used much material from existing analyses as they stand, trusting in the integrity and care taken by other authors. Similar criticisms may be made of my work by future researchers as I have made about the work of past researchers. This does not slight what each researcher has contributed. Genealogical and family history work is a cumulative process, and many genealogical tools have and will become available through time.. The marriage of Henry Alexander Pace and Abigail Hammond brought together ancestral lines with similar beginnings in England who separated into disparate groups as they made their departure from that country's shores. The primary influence on their different histories appears to have been religious affiliation, with perhaps a touch of social class. The ancestral lines that arrived at Jamestown in 1611 A. D. affiliated originally with the traditional Church of England, while the those that arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony after 1620 A. D. were usually Dissenters. It was a joint commitment to a new religious tradition—the restored gospel as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—that brought these separate ancestral lines together again approximately 250 years later in their new homeland in North America.
