ENDNOTES 105 VI INTRODUCTION
This project began with my desire to tell the story of my paternal grandparents and trace their ancestral lines back to the point where each original family immigrant came into what is now the United States of America. 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. I hope these volumes will assist other family members in their efforts to verify and expand information about our ancestors.

vn Author's Note
In these volumes, Sr., Jr., Ill, etc., have been added to the recorded names to assist in differentiating between generational use of the same personal name. To differentiate between same- named children in a given family group, (1), (2), etc., have been used. Earlier in New England history, it was not uncommon for parents to give a child the same name as a child who had died. In evaluating whether temple work has been completed for an individual and a family, temple ordinance dates may vary. Some temple work has been repeated many times. It is the earliest date in the official records of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that has precedence. If a later date is shown on a record, it does verify that the temple ordinances have been completed. I appreciate the editorial suggestions of Linda Prince and Lance Edwards. Any and all remaining errors are mine

vm Henry Alexander Pace - Mission Photograph BOOK ONE: THE PACE1 LINE2
Henry Alexander Pace and Abigail Hammond
Henry Alexander Pace was born on April 22,1877, in New Harmony, Washington County, Utah, to Harvey Alexander Pace and Susan Elizabeth Keel.3 This was a polygamous union between two families who had joined the Mormon Church during its early stage in Nauvoo, Illinois, made the trek across the plains of midwest America to the mountains of Utah, and accepted the principle of plural marriage as taught by the Church's founding Prophet, Joseph Smith. Henry A. was the fourth and last child of this marriage, and was preceded by three sisters. We don't know much about Henry's childhood and youth, but at the time of his birth, his father, Harvey Alexander Pace, was well settled on fertile farmland north of the confluence of Ash and Joe Lee Creeks at the foot of Pine Valley Mountain. Harvey A.'s home was erected on the most southern street in the town, now 100 South, and often referred to as the lower street.4 Henry A. lived the hardworking life of a pioneer child and learned the skills of farming and ranching from his parents. He was baptized at the age of 8 years by his father on April 22,1885, and was ordained a deacon at age 12. The early years of his education were spent in New Harmony and Cedar City. He was literate and wrote a very clear hand.
Missionary Service Henry was as committed to the Mormon faith as were his parents, and he accepted a mission call to the Northern States Mission at the age of 21. Henry Alexander Pace left a detailed journal of his mission.5 It is from his mission journal that we learn more detail about his life until January 4, 1900, after he arrived back in New Harmony. Henry A. received his mission call in May 1898, and left home on July 4 for Salt Lake City. On July 6, he was ordained a seventy by Apostle A. O. Woodruff. On the night of the 7th, Elder Pace and ten other elders left for the Northern States Mission headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, where he spent almost three days. On July 12, he received his assignment to the state of Missouri, and left Chicago with his companion, Moroni Moulton from Charleston, Utah.
Return to New Harmony Henry A. characterized his arrival home at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 29, 1900, as "undescribable," and reported that the rest of the day was spent shaking hands and kissing. He saw his half-brother, Levi, for the first time in five years and other family members for the first time in two-and-a-half years. The next day, Sunday the 30th, he attended Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. and was called to be an assistant teacher in the Book of Mormon class and asked to give a short talk. In the afternoon meeting, he was again called upon to speak and then visited at his cousin Alex's. Monday and Tuesday were spent playing ball, attending a welcome-home party, and then a dance. On January 2, Henry A. was invited to a "splendid" dinner at his sister Nan's house with a number of other guests. While there, he learned that Brother Watts had just died. The next day, he was kept busy helping his father build a coffin for Brother Watts and digging the grave. The funeral was at 4:00 p.m., and by that evening Henry A. was attending a dress ball at the sehoolhouse. By Friday the 4th, he was busy helping with the corn shelling, but also spent a couple of hours in "pleasant conversation with Vilo."6 Henry A. was obviously a popular and well-loved member of his family and his community. He was not allowed to waste any time getting back into the responsibilities associated with church and community service and farmwork. He became a diligent Sunday School worker. After acting for some time as assistant superintendent, he became superintendent of the New Harmony Sunday School. He also acted as president of the ward Young Men Mutual Improvement Association. Very little is known about the courtship of Henry Alexander Pace and his future wife, but on May 25, 1904, he was married and sealed in the St. George Temple to Abigail Hammond.7 Abigail Hammond was born March 22, 1886, the daughter of Delta (Kelsey) Chinn of New Harmony and Joseph Hammond of St. George. Henry was 27 years of age and Abbie was 18. The children by this marriage were Pearl, Leslie Alexander, Anthon "H", Preston Levi, Ruby, and Gordon Harvey Pace.
Bishop of New Harmony Ward Henry A. was called as bishop of the New Harmony Ward (Parowan Stake), and ordained a high priest by Apostle James E. Talmage on March 24, 1912.8 He succeeded Gottlieb Schmutz, who had resigned. He served in this capacity for 14 years. He was 35 years old and the father of two children at the time he became bishop; three more children were born during his tenure of service. The following events placed great stress on the people of New Harmony. For over a year, the Kelsey family and their neighbors were in an uproar over allegations of murder brought by the State of Utah against Frank Kelsey. This must also have been the most difficult challenge Henry A. Pace had to deal with during his service as bishop of the New Harmony Ward since it impacted all the ward members, as well as his wife's Kelsey relatives:
June 2, 1922, Davis County Clipper-Salt Lake.-"Frank P. Kelsey of New Harmony, Utah, is under arrest at St. George, charged with attempting to kill the family of Francis Prince. . . ."
Feb. 22,1923, Deseret JVeH>.s-"Frank P. Kelsey, 29, farmer of New Harmony, is denied release on bail and remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Washington County to await trial for the alleged poisoning of his wife in an order issued by the state supreme court this morning . . . Mrs. Kelsey died in December, 1921, and the attending physician signed a warrant certifying death to have been from uremia poisoning . .. Ten months later Kelsey's mother and grandparents became ill and several horses died . . . [from drinking coffee that was bitter] and on examination declared to have contained strychnine ... These circumstances led to suspicion concerning the death of Mrs. Kelsey. The body was exhumed and State Chemist Herman Harms on examination reported arsenic present in the stomach in quantities sufficient to have caused death. A few weeks later Kelsey was bound over to the district court on a charge of murder in the first degree."
Apr. 19, 1923, Washington County News-"The case [against Frank P. Kelsey] was given to the jury at 5:30 Saturday night after lasting nearly three weeks and creating tense excitement. The jury discussed the matter all Saturday night and until 3 p.m. Sunday, nearly 19 hours, before they could agree on a verdict. They then rendered a verdict of not guilty and defendant was discharged." (Frank Kelsey lived the remainder of his life in New Harmony.)
It was after his service as bishop that Henry A. received his patriarchal blessing from Patriarch Alexander G. Matheson at Cedar City, Utah, on February 8, 1925. He was declared to be of the lineage of Ephraim.9 Farmer and Stockman Bishop Pace was a successful farmer and stock raiser, and one of the most enterprising citizens in southern Utah. He was also the owner of several of the best farms in that part of the country,10 and eventually became the owner of the old John D. Lee farm in New Harmony.
This property was sold to Lemuel H. Redd on September 17, 1870, for $4,500.00. It was some distance south and west of the town proper, and there were two houses on it, or rather parts of two houses. The house the Redds later moved into was unfinished. I have always been of the impression that the other house, which was frame, was the one that Lee and his families lived in, and that here in this frame house was the hall where they held their meetings."
By 1876, the Redd family had sold the farm property to Harvey Alexander Pace. At Harvey's death in 1917, the property ownership shifted to his heirs, with Henry Alexander receiving a one- ninth share. By 1929, the other heirs had transferred their interests to Henry A. and he became the sole owner. In 1944, large segments of the farm property were sold to his sons, Leslie Alexander and Anthon "H", in order to forestall the loss of the entire property. These transfers set up the potential for family misunderstandings as Henry A. and Abby later transferred their remaining property interests to their daughter, Pearl and youngest son, Gordon Harvey Pace. Anthon, particularly, resented the fact that he had bought his share of the property and was given nothing from his parents' estates. Gordon H. eventually transferred a one-third interest in some of the acreage on the far west side near the Old Pine Tree to satisfy Anthon's concerns. The following excerpt describes the mystique this property has always had for the Pace family and the other residents of New Harmony:
In December, 1889, they had a big flood in New Harmony. It came from the west of the farm down the canyon from Pine Valley mountain. Some think it was caused by waters being held in the canyon by debris which had accumulated for years until there was a big pond or lake. So much water collected that the debris gave way and let the waters come, making a great roar. People in town saw an immense wall of water, twenty or more feet high, coming down to Redd's farm, headed for the house. Everyone who saw it was terrified about what the results might be. Certainly, there was no place for the family to go to escape the water's destruction, and no time to go, anyway. It was right on them when they heard it and saw it. Fortunately, the natural terrain divided the waters above the house so that a big portion rushed down the creek and the rest dashed down north of the house through the meadow part of the farm. When the waters divided, their powers were lessened, and they left their burdens—rocks, timbers, brush, etc.—scattered all over the area. It took years to remove and dispose of all the rubbish. The flood left part of a big tree trunk beside the road through the meadow. It was never removed. This log—some six or eight feet long and about two feet thick—was used for many years as a resting place when going from and to the farm. Many called it "Lover's Log." I guess every one of the growing children at some time sat there of an evening with a loving friend. The log was still there when we left New Harmony to go to Canada in 1905. All the children of Lemuel H. Redd who grew up in the old home loved Ash Creek and all its turns and windings, its wide pools, and its narrow, trickling parts. They loved the old pine tree up near the foot of Pine Valley mountain, and with every excuse they hiked up to it, just as did all the children—and older folk, too—of New Harmony. They loved to climb around the base of old Pine Valley mountain, especially in the early spring when, through little patches of snow in the shade of the rocks, grew a lovely little thing we called snow flowers, which I have never seen or known to grow elsewhere. The early settlers loved the view across the valley east, especially on some clear evenings when the sunset cast a glorious radiance over these masterpieces of old Mother Nature.12 Life in New Harmony No journal for Henry A. Pace after his return from his mission has been found. However, the following references drawn from local newspaper accounts (in the Washington County News, unless otherwise indicated) give a sense of his life experiences between 1908 and 1926:
Feb. 6. 1908—Five men are employed on H. A. Pace's new eight-roomed house. H. A. expects to go to housekeeping in the new mansion about July 4.
Mar. 26, 1908—Work has commenced on Henry A. Pace's new house.
May 14, 1908—The new waterworks installed at New Harmony is giving the best of satisfaction and is blessing the little town.

Henry A. Pace is having some rock work done on a nice cellar.
June 17, 1909—Our sheep men are busy marking lambs and getting their flocks on the summer ranges. They all seem well-pleased with their lamb crop this spring. The hum of the mowing machine is heard now. Everybody is getting ready for the first crop of hay.
Aug. 5, 190—A typhoid fever epidemic has hit New Harmony.
Sept. 2, 1909—Aug. 29, Thursday, aboutl 1 a.m., Carlisle Kelsey, of whom mention has been made, died of typhoid and an acute attack of appendicitis. Funeral services were held at the residence Friday afternoon. The speakers were H. A. Pace, Francis Prince and G. Schmutz, who spoke words of consolation to those bereft of a bright son and brother.
Sept. 16, 1909—On Wednesday, Sept. 1, There was a large flood at the crossing of north Ash Creek. The flood did much damage here washing away fences, bridges, land, etc.
Sept. 23, 1909—(Sept. 19) Our farmers are very busy these days hauling corn, getting up the third cutting of hay, hauling grain, and preparing to get their winter supply of coal from the mountain. The cowboys are busy rounding up the steers to be delivered the latter part of the month.
Typhoid fever is about a thing of the past. The patients are walking around and the houses are being fumigated so in a few days everything here will be moving on as quietly as it ever did.
Feb. 3, 1910—H. A. Pace has a new porch in front of his house, which improves the looks of it very much.
Apr. 7, 1910—Our spring grain is about all in at this writing, and our fanners are looking forward to a prosperous year.

Mathis, the orator was highly praised for the delivery of his oration at the meeting in the morning. In the afternoon sports for all were indulged in. One very laughable thing was the nail contest, six women over forty years contested for the prize and to see those women how serious they were in driving nails; Mrs. L. A. Pace was the winner.
H.. A. Pace has gone to the Kanarra mountains to bring his family home who have been there during the warm weather.
Nov. 3, 1910 - Last night the young people had a very pleasant Halloween party at the home of Henry A. Pace.
Aug 25, 1910 - Bp. Macfarlane from St. George was here last week to get teams to work on the road north of the Black Ridge. He got one man and team to help in this good cause. He tells us that the road up the Harmony canyon will be fixed in good shape so that the people from the Dixie land will be able to go through the canyon without any trouble.

They honorably released Gottlieb Schmutz from being bishop of this ward and his counselors with a vote of thanks for their untiring efforts in doing good. Henry A. Pace was sustained as bishop with Albert F. Mathis and Joseph W. Prince as his counselors. James L. Prince was chosen as ward clerk. Some of our men have gone to shear sheep at Gould's ranch where there is a nice shearing plant established.
Since our last letter we have had about six inches of snow.
Apr 25, 1912 -The farmers are having a time to get their small grain planted. Some of them have their grain sowed and disked in but no water marks made to irrigate it. Some have it sowed and not covered at all either with the disk or harrow. Last week it rained or snowed a little every day but one. Now the wind is blowing from the north and is quite cold.
The young ladies and men's meetings will be discontinued tonight for the summer. They have had an enjoyable and profitable time this winter and feel well paid for the time spent at the meetings.
Arbor Day was fittingly observed by Miss Minnie Pace and her students setting trees out and doing work on the school grounds.
Our school will close here this week. The little ones think seven months is a long time to go to school.
John Whipple from Pine Valley is here working for Henry A. Pace on the farm.
June 6,1912 - Memorial day was observed by our townspeople in decorating and fixing up the graves of the older ones that have gone on to the other side. Every grave in the cemetery had attention, so it looks like we think of the ones that are gone.

Oct. 9, 1913 - The farmers are busy now with their third crop of hay. The cowboys are off on the regular fall roundup, the boys from Toquerville and Leeds have joined them. They expect to gather all the stock that has gone from their regular ranges and put them on the winter range.
The women folk are doing their fall cleaning and putting the heaters up, none too soon as the nights are cold.
Some of the men folk are taking advantage of the chance to hunt deer, most every one has been successful.
School started here [Oct. 6]this morning.
March 29, 1914 - The last week has been windy and cold and the apricots have been injured considerably by frost. We are now having a nice rainstorm, which is good for the farmers, the flock masters, and all.
Bishop Henry A. Pace has gone to Ogden or somewhere near there to get a bunch of full- blooded sheep, and is expected home soon with them.
May 28, 1914 (Iron County Record) - The town of New Harmony, with a population not to exceed 200 souls, situated just over the line in Washington county, but embraced in the Parowan Stake of Zion, is one of the most energetic and progressive little settlements in Southern Utah, and has a great future before it in an agricultural sense. The valley, while not large, is one of the most fertile tracts of land in this entire country, and one of the best adapted to arid farming. The rainfall is heavy, the soil is deep and loamy and already arid farming has been conducted there on quite an extensive scale with excellent results. Besides this, there is an abundance of high water there, and dams and canals have recently been constructed to bring a much larger area under irrigation.
Within the past several years several hundred acres of new land has been brought under cultivation, and at the present time Mr. T.J. Kerr is busy with his caterpillar traction engine, grubber and plows on contracts for the clearing of fully 600 acres, and this will likely be increased before he finishes in that locality. Among those who have let contracts to Mr. Kerr we learn of the following: . . . Bp. Harvey [sic] A. Pace - 80 acres ....
Bishop Harvey [sic] A. Pace has a splendid tract of land, embracing 320 acres and extending along the main road into Harmony for a distance of three miles. About 100 acres of the tract is now broken up, forty acres of which is seeded to alfalfa, about 15 acres to corn, and a large acreage to small grains. The location and soil are ideal, and the traveler into Harmony is impressed with the appearance of the land and growing crops. It is situated on the south side of the road.
A visitor to Harmony sees precious few idle men and boys. It is a community of hustlers and no one appears to have any time for street loafing. The people have an excellent reputation for paying their bills when due, and Harmony will yet be known as one of the most thrifty communities in the entire state. Keep your eye on New Harmony.
April 22, 1915 -Bp. Henry A. Pace is shearing his sheep at home this spring.
July 29, 1915 - Leslie Anderson, who has been in Bp. Henry A. Pace's employ for several months, has returned to his home in Lehi.
Dec. 2, 1915 - The barns of Albert F. Matthis and Wm. P. Taylor are now nearing completion. These gentlemen with Bishop Pace have taken a splendid step in moving their barns back from the street, and if a number more would follow their example, our town would be much improved.

The following information about Henry Alexander Pace comes from Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia, volume III:
Henry Alexander Pace, Bishop of Harmony (Parowan Stake), Washington County, Utah was born April 22, 1877 at Harmony, Utah. The son of Harvey A. Pace and Susan E. Keel. He was raised in Harmony and obtained part of his education in Cedar City, was baptized April 22, 1885 by his father, ordained a Deacon when a youth, and ordained a Seventy June 6,1898, by Abraham O. Woodruff and set apart for a mission to the Northern States, laboring principally in Missouri. He returned in December 1900 and soon afterwards became a diligent Sunday School worker. After acting for some time as Assistant Supt. he became Superintendent of the Harmony Sunday School, and also acted as President of the ward YMMIA. He was ordained a High Priest and Bishop, March 24, 1912, by Apostle James E. Talmage, and set apart to preside over the Harmony Ward, succeeding Gottlieb Schmutz, who resigned. Bishop Pace is a successful Farmer and stock raiser and one of the most enterprising citizens in southern Utah. He is also the owner of several of the best farms in that part of the country. Since his earliest youth Bishop Pace has taken an active part in ecclesiastical as well as civil affairs. In 1904, on May 25, Bishop Pace married Abbie Hammond, daughter of Joseph Hammond of St. George. The children by this marriage are Pearl, Leslie Alexander, Anthon H., and Preston Levi. [Note: This record was made prior to the births of Gordon Harvey and Ruby Pace.)
Henry Alexander Pace suffered large economic losses during the 1930s that resulted in his losing the property east of town known as Cliff View Farm when he was unable to sell his crops and meet his financial obligations. The Federal Land Bank would not allow him to renew his loan because of his age. In 1940, he was forced to sell part of his interest in the Lee/Redd property to his two sons, Leslie A. and Anthon "H", and give up the 320 acres east of town that he had spent so many years developing. This created a certain amount of bitterness when the property owner allowed to take it over, Emil Graff, was of a similar age. The house he erected on the farm was still in evidence until the end of the 20th Century. Later on, in the 1930s and 1940s, Henry ran a deer camp for out-of-state hunters located in the fields south of his New Harmony home. In 1928, Henry A. and Abbie lost their youngest daughter, Ruby, to a disease that was later thought to be leukemia. She was just 8 years of age. In 1944, a son, Preston, was lost in France during World War n. He was 29 years of age. Henry A.'s health was poor for most of his adult life. He suffered from stomach ulcers and eventually developed heart problems and diabetes. Life in New Harmony was very much centered on family, farming and ranching, church, education, the weather, and home-grown entertainment. The arid conditions and uncertain weather patterns of the high Southern Utah desert created uncertainty in the lives of those who made agriculture their life's work. Although his youngest son, Gordon Harvey Pace, and grandson, James Craig Pace, continue to operate his farm property south and southwest of New Harmony, they do it as a sideline and not as their major source of livelihood. Henry Alexander Pace died at 75 years of age at New Harmony, Washington County, Utah on August 21,1952. The cause of death was listed as coronary occlusion due to arteriosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. He was buried in the New Harmony Cemetery.14
Abigail Hammond Abigail (Hammond) Pace was 66 years of age when Henry A. died. She lived as a widow in New Harmony for 25 years following Henry A.'s death. She was a stalwart and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the end of her life. Abigail (Hammond) Pace left a summary of her life experiences for her descendants:15
I was born in St. George, Utah, on March 22, 1886, in a small, one-room adobe house. The house was in west St. George. My father was Joseph Hammond, and my mother was Delta Kelsey. While I was a small child, Mother brought me to the Kelsey ranch on Ash Creek at the head of the Black Ridge. She brought me to Grandmother Kelsey (Abigail Finch Kelsey), who cared forme while Mother worked to get a little money for us. Grandmother was an angel to me. I remember when she died of a stroke. I was six years old, (about 1892) but can remember her well. She wore a pair of gold earrings in pierced ears. My father had another wife, and mother was the second. Mother was married when about 16 to William Henry Chinn. She had two children, Mary and William Chinn. Their father was accidently shot. It was a tragic thing for them. They lived at Iron Town. Once, Mother and her first husband took their two babies and went to the Kelsey Ranch to visit Grandmother. When they got back to Iron Town, their home had burned down and all their belongings. After William Chinn was killed, Mother went back to the ranch at Ash Creek. A short time later, Grandfather Kelsey persuaded her to marry my father who already had one wife and children. He was 37 years older than Mother. It wasn't at all a happy marriage. Two children were born to them, Orson and Abigail. I was named for Grandmother Kelsey. Mother worked for the Gregerson's at Belview (now Pintura) for some time. When Grandmother died, Mother was working for the William Ford family at Kanarraville. Orson stayed in St George until he was about 15 (about 1895), then came to the ranch to be with Mother. He wanted to be with her. We lived there on the ranch for a few years until Mary (Chinn, Abigail's half-sister) married Joseph Duffin, and they bought the ranch. Before we left there, it was my job to help dip up water from the ditch to fill a barrel for drinking and household use. I also had to go across a large yard to shut the chicken coop at night. I usually waited until it was getting dark, then went to shut the coop. 1 was too scared to run for fear something would grab me, but always managed to make the trip. We had quite a large orchard of apple trees—Red June, 20 oz. Pippins, Macintosh, Bellflower, Yellow Transparent, and Golden Sweet. We thought they were the best. Aunt Maggie Burke, one of Mother's sisters, came to visit us during fruit season. She lived up at Minersville. Her daughter, Nellie, was my age, and we had lots of fun together. My brother, Will, bought the John Rohner place across the street from Verl Kelsey's home. There Mother and I lived until I was married. Mother wove carpet for 20 cents a yard, sold butter for 20 cents a pound, and eggs and also garden stuff that she raised. I would houseclean and do washing on the washboard and never get more than 50 cents for a hard day's work. Mother and I used to pick currants on the Redd farm when William Redd had control of it. The disappointing part of the currant picking was that we had to give half to the Redds. Times were hard in those days, but we managed some way. I was baptized in the Joe Lee Creek (or Field Creek) about halfway up in Andy Schmutz's field, then called the Mathis field. It was in April, and the water was high and very cold. Bud Pace, Low Prince, Nellie Grant, and I were baptized the same day. The date was April 4, 1895, and I was baptized by James F. Pace. [Abigail's father, Joseph Hammond, died in 1899 when Abigail was 13 years of age.] The girls of my crowd were Minnie and Lurene Pace, Susie Taylor, Melissa Deuel, and myself. The boys of our crowd were Henry and Bud Pace, Will Redd, Low Prince, Andrew Schmutz, and Will Taylor. We used to go for sleigh rides in the winter in horse-drawn sleighs. In the summer we went
10 to Kanarra to the dances, always by horse and wagon. W e would never get home until day light. Once we went to Pinto to a dance, and on the way home were caught in a rainstorm and had to stay at Goddard's Ranch. Mary Ann Goddard took us in and let us stay over night. She spread quilts on the floor in one room for the boys and in the other for the girls. She had beans and the best hot biscuits we ever ate. She seemed glad to have us, as she was usually alone. About this time, the man I married, Henry A. Pace, came home from a mission to Missouri and the area around there. I had dates with other boys in our crowd, but nothing very serious. I went with Hyrum Prince from Washington for awhile. Alice Knell from Pinto came to town, and she was such a beautiful girl, the boys just left us plain ones and took to her, but she soon got tired of all of them. I started going with Henry A. when I was seventeen. Of course, he wanted to get married right away, but I wanted to wait until I was 18, and until Orson came home from his mission. Mother and I had a hard time making ends meet and sending a little money to Orson. While Henry A. was on his mission, he had many interesting experiences. He visited the prison where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed, and saw the blood stains on the floor and the bullet holes in the doors. Once, he and some other Elders decided to cross the Mississippi River where it was about one mile wide. None of them could swim, and someone almost capsized the boat, but because of their prayers, they finally reached shore. They didn't try it again On May 25, 1904, Henry A. and I were married in the St. George Temple. We borrowed William A. Redd's new black-topped, one-seated buggy, and had a team of black horses, so we traveled in real style. It took us a whole day to make the trip. We stopped that night at the Judd Hotel. After our day in the Temple, we drove back as far as Leeds and stayed at a small hotel for the night. Henry A. had a real dress suit for our wedding, low-cut vest and coat to match of black broadcloth. My wedding dress was heavy white taffeta, trimmed with white silk lace. I had white, high-heeled kid slippers and an orange blossom headdress. (Abbie's wedding dress, shoes, etc. were donated to the Brigham Young University Clothing Department Collection.). We really were in style. On June 1, we had a wedding dinner at the home of Susan E. and Harvey Pace, where the Hall's now live. Everyone in town was invited. At night, we danced in the old church on the corner where the new church now stands. We lived with Henry's mother and father for a few weeks, then with my mother until we could get our home ready. We had traded for the old home on the corner where our home now stands. On the 26th of July, after we were married, we had a terrific cloud burst, with a lot of thunder and lightening. A big flood came, and ran all over town, filled cellars, and raised havoc. It was a terrifying thing. It all happened at night. The house on the corner where our house now stands was a three-room adobe house. We lived there for about five years. Our first child was born in the old house on July 8, 1905. We named her Pearl. Aunt Moriah Pace, the town midwife took care of me when Pearl was born. We didn't have anything for pain in those days and it was a long, hard birth; then two weeks in bed. We decided to build a new house as the old one wasn't very safe. We moved into the new house in August, just before Leslie was born on August 20, 1909. Dr. Lloyd Woodruff took care of me. He came from Cedar City in a two-horse buddy; took three hours to make the trip. I was in bed two weeks at that time, most of the time on my back for various reasons. Before Leslie was born, we bought the old John D. Lee farm, where one of John D. Lee's wives (Agatha Ann) is buried. There are also seven or eight other graves in the cemetery. She was Lee's first wife. Henry A. and Albert Mathis were partners, and bought the farm together. After a few years, Henry A. bought Albert's share. They had been in the sheep business together for a number of years. They also took up a large 320 acres of sage brush ground on the bench out of town. Henry A. bought Albert's share and then was in business by himself. We cleared the ground and planted most of it to alfalfa to feed the sheep in the winter. We borrowed money from the Federal Land Bank to improve the farm. We always planted wheat for flour, oats for the horses, and usually some barley. The grain was threshed out with a horse-powered threshing machine. It took about fifteen men to take care of the threshing job. We had to cook dinner for them, and it was a real job. After it was all done, we would load up about thirty sacks of wheat and take it to the flour mill at Cedar City to get our year's supply of flour. It always took two days by horse and wagon. Sometimes we would take it to Parowan, because they had a mill that made the best flour. We made our own yeast by cooking potatoes and a handful of hops, strained it, then put it in ajar or crock, used a starter from the last batch, added some sugar, and by the next day it was ready to make bread. Commercial yeast and bakery bread weren't known at that time. We usually made fresh yeast
11 every two weeks. About one cup was used each time, as it was quite strong. The flour wasn't bleached, so the bread was real good. We made our own soap for washing our clothes. We used lye and fat that we saved from our meat. We used a large kettle and cooked it for three hours to turn it into soap. I still use the home-made kind for my washing, add a little Borax, and the clothes really come out white and clean. Anthon was born on April 23, 1913. The wind was blowing a regular gale. There were no graveled roads at that time, so the dust was real bad. Dr. A. N. Leonard took care of me at that time. The dust was so bad he could hardly travel, but finally made it in time. Anthon was born just after midnight—45 minutes after; just missed being born on his father's birthday. Preston was born on May 8, 1916. Dr. MacFarlane took care of me at that time. Preston was born at home as the others were. [In 1922, Abigail's mother died when Abigail was 36 years of age.] Ruby was born on June 15, 1920, at night. Dr. MacFarlane came and took care of me at that time. She was a husky little girl for awhile, then began to have sick spells. She had to spend quite a lot of time in the hospital, where she finally passed away on February 5, 1928, in the Iron County Hospital, at 8 years of age. [Later on, as information about leukemia became available, Abbie stated that she believed that was the disease that afflicted Ruby.] She is buried in New Harmony. Abigail was 42 years of age when her little daughter died. Gordon Harvey Pace was born on July 8, 1930; a premature baby. He weighed 4-1/2 lbs. He was the only one born in the hospital—Iron County Hospital in Cedar City, Utah. He was a real joy to us, as Ruby had died and we had been without a baby for ten years. Dr. MacFarlane was the one that took care of us. Gordon was so small and weakly, the nurses said I would never get him home alive. Grandma Susan Pace cared for a lot of mothers' babies, but wouldn't care for this one. Henry A. asked me what I would do about it, and I told him 1 would do it myself, and I did. After awhile he began to grow and make a real healthy boy; still is, and has a family of his own. [Abigail was 44 years old.] Henry A. Pace was put in as Bishop in 1914 [sic], and served for 14-1/2 years. He also served as Sunday School Superintendent for a number of years. Before that he acted as Ward Clerk for a number of years. In about 1925, he began to have stomach trouble, was operated on for stomach ulcers, and had a bad time for awhile. The attack came on quite regularly with hemorrhages which were quite severe. He later developed a heart ailment and diabetes. His health gradually failed over the years, and he passed away August 21, 1952. [Abigail was 66 years of age.] I had several church positions. I was a teacher in the Sunday School; usually had the small children.. We didn't have any outlines, so had to find our own materials. The last class I had were about 12 year- olds, and we had the lessons outlined for us. It was much easier. I was also president of the YWMIA for a short time. Then, I was chosen as secretary of the Relief Society on November 13, 1932.1 held this position for 11 years. I was a block teacher for a few years, and then Director of the Work Committee for six years. In September, 1943, my husband and I went to Denver, Colorado, to see our son, Preston, before he left for the Army. We were there for a few days and had a good visit with him. We left at night, and when we bid him goodby at the bus station, the feeling came over me very strong that I never would see him again. I seemed to be under a dark cloud from that time on. In just a year, we received the message that he had been killed in action while trying to rescue two of his buddies who had been wounded on the battle field in France. It was a sad time. Henry A. was ill with a stomach hemorrhage at the time. Preston was killed on August 27, 1944. In 1947, the Army sent him home, and we met the train that carried him at Lund, where a hearse from Southern Utah Mortuary met the train. Grave side services were held in our cemetery on June 8, 1947. His wife, Ellen, was here for the services. The American Legion presented me the flag that was draped over his casket. They also sounded taps at the burial. Soon after he was killed, the ward had held memorial services in his memory. It was three years before he was brought home to be buried. [Abigail was 58 years of age when Preston died.] Gordon H. Pace was inducted into the Army on February 18, 1952. He went to Fort Ord, California. He was released from duty on November 26, 1952, as he was needed at home to care for the property after his father's death. He was married to Bette Peterson on February 14, 1953,in the St. George Temple. A few days after Gordon left for the Army, Leslie's daughter, Ardyn Pace, was killed in an automobile accident. Her sister, Patricia, sustained a broken back, but recovered from the accident.
12 On September 20, 1960, I was in California visiting Gordon and his family. I got up quite early in the morning, felt sick, and suddenly fainted in the hall, and broke my left ankle. It sure was a disappointing thing. I went to a Dr. Morgan in the Emergency Ward at the Studebaker Hospital. He put a 20 lb. cast on it, which I had to wear for about five months. It was real painful for a few weeks, but we got a wheel chair and that was my way of getting around for about seven months. I stayed with Gordon and his family for abut six weeks, and then Leslie and Wilma brought me to Anthon's home. I stayed there until March 12, then came home. I was so homesick, I couldn't stay away any longer. When I came in my front door, I felt like I had been on a long, long journey. I had my trusty wheel chair, so I managed to do for myself by being careful; finally got a cane and that helped a lot. I have been to California several times since to visit. The last time I came by jet plane to Salt Lake City in just over an hour. It was sure a thrilling trip. I visited with granddaughters Audrey, Bonnie, and Jean and their families, then went to Ogden to visit Carolyn and her family. Kay Daun and Jim and Lance met me there and visited. I came back to Cedar City on Bonanza Air Lines—a wonderful way to travel. I came on home and was happy after a most pleasant trip. I have made several trips to California during the years. I don't wish to stay very long. As I grow older, 1 just want to stay in my own home and do for myself as long as I can. My 80th birthday came on March 22, 1966, a Tuesday. My family planned an open house for me on the 26th, a Saturday. Most of them had jobs during the week so it was necessary to have it later. It was a wonderful party. Thirty-nine of my family were there; a few couldn't make it for various reasons; some too far away; some sickness. There were about 75 guests signed the book. Some of the little ones were too young to write. Many friends came, and I received about 45 greeting cards; also letters and telephone calls. I also received a letter of good wishes from my favorite Congressman, Mr. Laurence Burton. I feel greatly honored by him. I wrote a letter to thank him for his kindness. My family pinned a white orchid to the shoulder of my dress. I had a new nylon jersey dress. The refreshments were nuts, mints, homemade cookies, and an iced drink. All of my four [living] children were there; also 25 of the 28 great-grandchildren and ten of the grandchildren. Robert and Kay Pace's twins were born on April 16; both boys. They have wanted a boy so much, now have two. On May 7, 1966, I went to Salt Lake to see the twins and visit the rest of my family living there and in South Ogden. I really had a good visit; just one hour from Salt Lake City—a real nice trip. On my 83rd birthday, March 22, 1969, the family came to spend the day with me. All of my children and wives and daughter and husband and some of my grandchildren. They had prepared a turkey and all that goes with it for a birthday dinner. Sure was a wonderful day, and I did appreciate it so much seeing them and visiting for a few hours. My brother, Orson Hammond, came from St. George to see me. He is 87 years old now and quite active. He goes to the Temple and drives his own car.
[Abigail Hammond celebrated her 89th birthday on March 22, 1975, during a visit with her son, Gordon, in Boulder City, Nevada. At that time her health was good for her age, but her mind was becoming quite forgetful.]
"Grandma Pace" or "Aunt Abbie" as she was referred to by family and friends, had the unique ability to make every one of her 17 living grandchildren think he or she was her favorite. She always had freshly-baked applesauce cookies and home-squeezed lemonade ready for them when they came to visit. She was an excellent bread and roll maker, and a very good cook. She was interested in the lives and well-being of all her children and grandchildren. Gordon and his family were especially dear to her. Grandma Pace was especially appreciated by Anthon's daughters because they were privileged to grow up living across the street from her. Kay Daun has always said that her Grandma Pace was her best friend. Either Kay or one of the twins, Joan and Jean, had the opportunity and blessing of staying with her at night after the death of their grandfather until they grew up and moved away from New Harmony. As Gordon married and had children, more of her time was spent with them. She often traveled to California and Nevada to spend extended periods of time until her health
13 became precarious. She had breast cancer when she was in her late 80's, and eventually developed dementia. Mrs. Abigail (Hammond) Pace ended her long life in a nursing home in Cedar City, Iron County, Utah. She died on January 28, 1977, at age 91 of natural causes incident to old age, and is buried in the New Harmony Cemetery, Washington County, Utah.16
Harvey Alexander Pace and Susan Elizabeth Keel
Harvey Alexander Pace was born October 12,1833, near Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, Tennessee, the third child and third son of William Pace and Margaret Nichols. On June 14, 1843, at age 10, Harvey A. and his brother, Wilson D. were baptized and confirmed at the water side by Elder John D. Lee. The location was a creek near the home of his father, William.17 By November of 1843, Harvey was in Nauvoo with his parents where he served as a private in the Nauvoo Legion under Colonel Markham. By 1848, at the age of 15, he was driving herds of livestock across the plains. He arrived in the Salt Lake valley in the Brigham Young Company on September 20, 1848. His stay in Salt Lake City was brief. His father, William, was called to build a fort at Provo in 1849, and by 1850 was sent on to establish a settlement about one-and-one-half miles above present-day Spanish Fork. His father became Bishop of the new church unit established there. By the time he was 20 years of age, Harvey had assumed the responsibilities of family life. He married Ann Elizabeth Redd, the daughter of family friends from Tennessee, on 28 August 1853. They soon became parents. As an Indian fighter Harvey gained considerable distinction, serving in the Indian wars of 1849-50 and in the Walker War in 1853. In token of these services he was granted a land warrant for 160 acres. Harvey A. received a Patriarchal Blessing just before his father, William, left on a mission to the British Isles.
Patriarchal Blessing of Harvey Alexander Pace .18
A Patriarchal Blessing by Isaac Morley on the head of Harvey Alexander Pace, son of William and Margaret Nichols Pace, born in Rutherford County, Tennessee, Oct 12, 1833.
Brother Harvey Alexander in the name of Jesus, we place our hands upon thy head to bless thee and we say unto thee, thou shalt be blessed under the hands of Thy Sire, and greatly will thy blessings be increased by thy Father standing at the head to bless thee. For this is a principle extended by promise upon those who are rightful heirs to the seals of Christ's Kingdom. Thou art brought into the covenant with the seed of Abraham through the blessings of the everlasting gospel. Thou shalt be blessed in thy heirship and thy adoption. The Lord will bless thee in connection with the bride of thy youth; let thy life be devoted to the cause of thy creator, and thou will be taught the principles and the designs of thy creator. Thou wilt be blessed of the Lord in thy posterity, for he will give thee sons and daughters to bear the keys of the everlasting priesthood. The Lord has blessed thee with many principles that when matured will illuminate thy mind. His attributes will be precious to thy soul. Thou will love virtue and hate iniquity. One of thy greatest desires will be to obtain wisdom. Thou wilt experience an opposition which will be for thy good. Thy faith will be sufficient to thy day. This gift will be greatly increased in thy mind whereby thou will be prepared to perform any mission where unto thou will be called until thou will be favored and numbered with the anointed of the Lord.
14 Thou art of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim; we now seal thee up to enjoy the blessing of thrones and dominions, where thou will be enabled to exalt thy family and we ratify this upon thee in the name of Jesus Christ, even so, Amen and Amen.—Isaac Morley, Spanish Fork, Utah, March 1, 1855.
In 1856, Harvey's father was called on a mission to England, so once again Harvey assumed responsibility for his mother and younger siblings. On June 7, 1857, Harvey A. was ordained a Seventy and became a member of the Fiftieth Quorum of Seventy. Upon William Pace's return from his mission to England, Brigham Young called him to join John D. Lee in the southern settlement of Harmony. William asked Harvey and his brother, Wilson D., to move their families south with him. By the time they left for Harmony in 1862, Harvey and Ann had four children. Arriving at the outset of the settlement of New Harmony and in time to help John D. Lee move from Old Fort Harmony, the Pace families took up prime land on the north side of Ash Creek and east of the Joe Lee Creek. Their property was northeast of the farm property already claimed by John D. Lee. For some time, Harvey's family lived in a dugout, but he soon built a more sturdy home for them. Mary Elizabeth was born about the time they were settling in New Harmony, but she died the following year. Four additional children were born to Harvey and Ann between 1864 and 1871. Ann Eliza, Lemuel Wilson, and Eli Alexander did not survive childhood. Harvey Alexander Pace was mustered into the Utah Territorial Militia as a Captain with one rifle by John Steele. He was mustered in at Harmony in 1867. He was assigned to 2nd Company 3 Battalion B. Harvey A. was ordained a High Priest July 2, 1882, by John D. T. McAllister. He acted as Sunday School Superintendent and Bishop's Counselor seven years, and also acted as Justice of the Peace three terms.19 It was just before his son, Eli Alexander, died on July 21,1870, that Harvey A. took a second wife, Susan Elizabeth Keel. They were married July 11,1870, at the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. Susan was twenty-one years younger than Harvey and just 16 years of age. His and Ann's last child, Levi Benjamin, was born April 16, 1871, just eleven days prior to the birth of his and Susan's first child, Margaret Angeline, on April 27, 1971. Harvey and Susan had three more children, Susan Evaline, Nancy Elizabeth, and Henry Alexander who married Abigail Hammond. Susan Evaline died before her first birthday, but the other three lived to marry and have children. The following excerpt summarizes a printed biography of Harvey Alexander Pace:20

15 High Priest; counselor to Bishop Wilson D. Pace of New Harmony Ward 15 years; ward teacher; Sunday School Superintendent. Justice of peace; constable; school trustee; postmaster three years. Veteran Indian wars. Assisted in bringing immigrants to Utah. Moved from Provo to Spanish Fork 1851, and to New Harmony 1861.
Harvey was busily engaged in developing the community of New Harmony, farming and taking care of livestock, and fulfilling responsibilities in his ward. He was for many years superintendent of the ward Sunday School, a calling later taken over by his son, Henry Alexander. He also served for seven years as a counselor to his older brother, Bishop Wilson D. Pace. Mrs. Ann Elizabeth (Redd) Pace died May 4, 1897, at age 66 after forty-four years of marriage, much hardship, sorrow, and many challenges, but still true in the faith. She was buried in the New Harmony Cemetery. It is not known just when or why most of the living children of Ann Elizabeth (Redd) and Harvey A. moved to Price in Carbon County. However, until his death in 1917, Harvey A. and Susan Elizabeth (Keel) Pace continued to live as man and wife in New Harmony. Apparently the relationships between the two families of children were close. The children continued to visit back and forth, and Levi Benjamin lived with and died at the home of Henry Alexander and Abigail Hammond Pace on October 16, 1934. Later on, Henry Alexander's son, Preston, lived with family members in Price during his high school years. A few additional references to Harvey Alexander Pace appeared in the Washington County News:
May 27, 1909 - "Harvey A. Pace is having a new porch put in front of his house."
Apr. 7, 1910 - "Miss Maggie Pace of Price, Carbon County, is here visiting her aged father, Harvey A. Pace."
Apr. 21, 1910 - "H. A. Pace, one of our aged men, is under the weather, but nothing of a serious nature."
May 12, 1910 - "H. A. Pace is having anew coat of paint put on his house." (Uncertain whether this refers to Harvey A. or Henry A."
Dec. 6, 1917 - "Harvey A. Pace is feeling rather poorly and has been confined to his bed for a day or two."
Harvey Alexander Pace died December 4, 1917, of old age and with no physician in attendance. He was 84 years of age.21 He was buried in the New Harmony Cemetery. Three additional records have been found that provide information about Harvey Alexander Pace—a longer history and a short life history by unknown authors, and his obituary which appeared in the Washington County News. These are included to round out the picture of Harvey's life and experiences:
History of Harvey Alexander Pace, 1833-191722
The subject of our sketch was born on the 12th day of October, 1833 at or about 6 miles from Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, Tennessee; a most pleasing city to look upon with its beautiful environments [sic], a delightful place to be born. Near this peaceful city with its green hills, its magnificent forest of white oak and hickory and its placid river the 'Tennessee' winding its way through the river bottoms, Harvey Alexander was born.
16 His father William and his mother Margaret Nichols Pace were born July 3, 1806, and May 30, 1808 of southern thoroughbred blood, having been born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and she in fair Kentucky. Those who knew the mother could readily recognize one of superior breeding and an extraordinary type of woman. Father was the third son from this union out of a family often children, nine sons and one daughter. Six of the sons lived to maturity and raised families with one exception. Four of the boys lived to a ripe old age and did much toward developing the state to which they emigrated in early manhood; namely, Wilson D., Harvey A., Franklin, and John Alma. Perhaps there were no heavenly or celestial strains heralding his advent into this world of sorrow and woe; it may be the angels didn't sing above the little trundle bed even though a choice spirit (a spark struck from Deity) had left the courts of Heaven to mingle among man for a brief period, none the less he was welcomed by the young couple just starting out in life. A bundle of possibilities, he no doubt was guarded as tenderly as was the child Jesus by his mother Mary. That his footsteps were guarded aright is clearly attested by the life he led. They taught him correct principles and he governed himself accordingly. The formative period of his life was spent in Tennessee. Here he grew to young manhood where the gospel reached his father's family through the instrumentality of John D. Lee, a character well known in the history of southern Utah. Migrating to Nauvoo, Illinois, his family suffered the persecutions meted out to the Latter-day Saints. Being banished from the confines of civilization they sought refuge on the bleak 'Plains of Iowa'. While making preparations for their exodus to the Rocky Mountains they were camped at Mount Pisgah [sic], Iowa near Council Bluffs. There, a strange incident in history occurred. Banished as undesirables from Illinois they, the Mormons, were called upon to show their fidelity to the United States government, one which looked with cold indifference while the Saints were being driven from their homes, their property destroyed, their Prophet and his brother shot down in cold blood, their Temple burned and other outrages perpetrated upon them. Now this government demanded 500 able men to go and defend the union against Mexico. As volunteers the oldest living brother, Wilson, and his uncle, Lieutenant James Pace gave their services and made that famous march to California where they were mustered out. I mention this in passing to show you that there is not only fighting blood, but patriotism unparalleled in the Pace stock. As a boy of about 15, Alexander assumed the double responsibility caused by his brother's absence and assisted his family in their long trek across the plains. Traveling in Brigham Young's company, they plod their weary way reaching the 'Valley of the Great Salt Lake' in 1848. They first settled in Provo where his father assisted in building the old fort as protection against Indian raids. From Provo the family moved to Spanish Fork in 1851. There he met and married his first wife, Ann Elizabeth Redd, August 28th 185 3. To them were born 4 children while living in Spanish Fork. In 1861 he joined his father's family in the southern Utah settlement of Harmony. Altogether, ten children were born to this union: William Harvey, John Hardison, James Franklin, Margaret Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Moriah Jane, Ann Eliza, Lemuel Wilson, Eli Alexander, and Levi Benjamin. Alexander's early married life seemed to be a repeat with hardships and hard work, trying to raise a family, fighting crickets and grasshoppers and also the pesky red skins. Once more we see exemplified the patriotism of the Pace blood. In his youth Alexander was affiliated with the Nauvoo Legion as a private to Colonel Markham. This organization was effected by the Prophet at Nauvoo. This military training proved very effectual after settling in Spanish Fork, Utah. The Indian outbreak under Black Hawk gave the settlers no little trouble. Here again they were called upon to defend the settlers against the Indians. These duties continued until peace was restored and Alexander and family moved to Harmony. There he settled down to quiet life and hard work. And there he also meets and marries his second wife, Susan Elizabeth Keel, July 11, 1870. To this union was born four children, three of whom reached maturity: Margaret Angeline, Susan Eveline, Nancy Elizabeth, and Henry Alexander. Alexander was a quiet unassuming man whose outstanding virtue was his generosity. No petty crime stained his character. No back door scandal was ever attached to his name. No hungry man ever went from his door unfed. No aching heart ever turned away uncomforted. With this humble beginning and two little wives we find him the father of 14 children, an increase of 55 grandchildren and some 80 great-grandchildren who will rise up and call him blessed.
17 Life History of Harvey Alexander Pace: 23
"Uncle Harvey," as he was called by a great many of his friends, was born October 12, 1833, in Rutherford County in the State of Tennessee. After emigrating to this country in 1848 from Tennessee, he lived in Spanish Fork, Utah, for some time. The first four children from is first wife (Ann Elizabeth Redd) were born while living in Spanish Fork. He was called as a colonization settler to the Dixie country in 1861. He arrived in New Harmony just as John D. Lee was moving up from the old fort. After getting his family located in a home, he was ordained a seventy in the ward organization on June 7, 1857, becoming a member of the 50th Quorum of Seventies. Sometime later he was ordained a High Priest July 2, 1882, being ordained by John D. McAllister. He acted as a Sunday School Superintendent for some time when he was set apart as a Bishop's counselor for seven years. He also served some time as a public official being appointed as Justice of the Peace for three terms. As time rolled on the Indians started to make considerable trouble throughout the country; as an Indian fighter he gained considerable distinction serving in the Indian Wars of 1849 and 1850. He also served in the Walker War of 1853. After serving in public life for some time, he settled down to private life engaging in the farming and stock raising business. He raised a very large family, ten children from his first wife, Ann Elizabeth Redd, whom he married August 28,1853, and four children from his second wife, Susan Elizabeth Keel, whom he married July 11,1870. He passed away in his home in New Harmony December 4, 1917, being buried in the family plot in New Harmony.
Obituary of Harvey A. Pace:24
Funeral services for Harvey A. Pace were held at the ward meeting house in New Harmony, Dec 7,1917. Albert F. Mathis, first counselor to Bishop Henry A. Pace, presiding. Appropriate music was furnished by the ward choir, which rendered 'Resting Now From Care and Sorrow', 'Sweet Hour of Prayer', favorite selections of the deceased, and 'I've Heard Of A Beautiful City', solo by Elder Joseph W. Prince assisted by the ward choir. Timely remarks were made by Elders John W. Piatt of Kanarra and Hezekiah Duffin of New Harmony, who eulogized the life of the departed. Services opened by Elder Orren Kelsey and closed by Elder William P. Taylor, the grave being dedicated by Elder Albert F. Mathis. The subject of this sketch was born near Murfreesboro, Tenn., Oct 12 1813, being the third son of William Pace and Margaret Nichols. As a lad of fifteen he crossed the plains, with his parents, in Brigham Young's company, driving stock the entire distance. He located at Provo from which town he moved to Spanish Fork in 1851. His early manhood was spent in these two towns which afterward developed into populous cities. Here he was constantly engaged in developing Spanish Fork, assisting immigrants to Utah and protecting the resident citizens against the depredations of the Indians led by Walker and others. He married Ann Elizabeth Redd in Spanish Fork, Aug. 28,1853, by whom he had ten children, four of whom survive him. In 1861 he with his family moved to Southern Utah, settling in New Harmony, Washington Co. Here also he met Susan E. Keel, whom he married in Salt Lake City July 11, 1870, by whom he had four children, two of whom survive him. His life was ever and always a monument of inspiration to those with whom he came in contact or who had the pleasure of associating with him. Quiet and unassuming in his ways yet commanding respect from all, generous beyond a doubt, his entire life was devoted to the uplifting of his home community. He held many positions of trust, both civil and ecclesiastical. He acted for many years as counselor to the bishop of the ward and as superintendent of the Sunday School of New Harmony. He is survived by a numerous posterity who will idolize his memory and rise up and call him blessed. Besides his wife, his descendants consist of fourteen children of whom six are still living, who are as follows: John, James, Margaret A., Levi B., Nancy E., and Henry A. His grandchildren total fifty-nine and his great grandchildren thirty eight.
18 Susan Elizabeth Keel Susan Elizabeth Keel25 was born November 3, 1854, in Springville, Utah County, Utah, to Thomas Keel and Mary Angeline Jolley. Little is known about her other than the information contained in the history of her husband, Harvey Alexander Pace. She had the unusual experience of receiving two patriarchal blessings. The first was given on February 6, 1875, at New Harmony by Patriarch Joseph L Heywood. No lineage is mentioned.26 The second was given April 10, 1927, at New Harmony by Patriarch Alexander G. Matheson. Again, no lineage is mentioned.27 Mrs. Susan Elizabeth (Keel) Pace died September 14, 1938, of a cerebral hemorrhage and chronic interstitial nephritis with hypertension. She was 84 years of age, and is buried in the New Harmony Cemetery.28
William Pace29 and Margaret Nichols
William Pace was born July 3,180630, in Double Springs, Rutherford County, Tennessee31, shortly after his parents, James and Mary Ann (Loving) Pace, arrived from Oglethorpe County, Georgia. They took up large areas of land and began to farm. Apparently, they were quite successful. However, William's father, James Pace, was killed in action during the War of 1812 when William was just six years of age.32 Mary Ann was left to raise William, his six sisters, and his younger brother James, and to manage the farm property. William Pace met Margaret Nichols when he was 21 and she was 20 years of age. They were married, probably in Rutherford County, Tennessee, on October 21, 1828. No record of their marriage has been located. Margaret Nichols was born in Logan County, Kentucky on May 30,1808, to Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander. By 183033, William was the father of his first child. James Byron Pace was born August 12,1829, and died about two years later on July 16, 1831. Just eleven days later, James and Margaret's second son, Wilson Daniel, was born on July 27, 1831. In 1832, William and Mary Ann sold some of their property to a James Bowman.34 The births of Harvey Alexander, who married Susan Elizabeth Keel; William Franklin; and Granville Madison quickly followed in 1833, 1836, and 1838. William Pace appears in the 1840 Census of Rutherford County with four living sons, his wife, Margaret, and two other females, ages 10-15 and 50-60. The older woman was his mother, Mary Ann, who died in 1841. The younger one is unknown. William and Margaret joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1841.35 It was on John D. Lee's missionary journey in 1842 that William and Margaret came to know him well, often hosting him in their home. Wilson Daniel and Harvey Alexander were baptized by Lee on June 14,1843,36 Shortly thereafter, William put his farm up for sale in preparation for the move to Illinois. After selling his farm property in July, 1843, William packed up his family and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, to join the main body of the Saints.37 William quickly purchased property and began building a house for his family. He was also quickly drawn into the frightening events facing the Saints in Nauvoo. When the Prophet Joseph Smith, acting in his capacity as Mayor of Nauvoo, called a large body of men to serve as policemen in the city, William Pace was appointed 4th Corporal. His old friend, John D. Lee, was appointed 2nd Sergeant, and his brother, James was also called to serve. William's nephew, William Byron, became one of the cadre of boys who "whistled and whittled" in Nauvoo, perhaps to serve as a system of signals, and later joined the Nauvoo Legion. The Pace family had frequent contact with the Prophet Joseph Smith and his family. William was given a Patriarchal Blessing by Hyrum Smith on November 12,1843. His lineage was given as
19 "Joseph."38 After Joseph and Hyrum's deaths, they were actively engaged in the preparations for and exodus from Nauvoo. John Alma Lawrence, Joseph Arlington Randolph, and Parley Pratt Pace were born during William and Margaret's stay in Nauvoo, while their last two children, Eli Nichols and Mary Ann were born after they reached Utah. William and Margaret were among the early Church members privileged to receive their endowments in the Nauvoo Temple.39 On January 20,1846, their marriage was sealed in the Nauvoo Temple. Soon, they were on their way west with the other residents of Nauvoo. William Pace and his family were listed in the Mt. Pisgah Branch in Winter Quarters, Ward #17, from 1846 to 1848. He signed the petition for a Kanesville Post Office in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, on January 20, 1848.40 On September 20, 1848, he and his family arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in the company led by Brigham Young. William may have made a trip back to Kanesville, Iowa, to lead a group of Saints to the Salt Lake Valley. Lucinda Haws Holdaway writes in her journal that she and her husband left Kanesville in the early part of June, 1850, in William Pace's Company.41 However, his nephew, William Byron, is often referred to as just "William" and this reference probably applies to him. They remained in the Salt Lake Valley approximately one year before William was called to help settle Utah Valley. He helped build the old fort at Provo. On Wednesday, March 19, 1950, William was called by Brigham Young to serve on the High Council of the Provo Branch. On Thursday, the 20th, he was ordained a High Priest and set apart as a High Counselor in that stake of Zion.42 By the 1850 Census, William had moved south to the Palmyra/Spanish Fork area, and many members of his family were in Utah County.43 Homes were built, farms were started, Indians were fought or cooperated with, fortifications were erected-all the activities they had engaged in so many times before. In 1852, William and Margaret's only daughter was born on February 17. This much welcomed little spirit departed again only a week later on February 24. Her loss must have been deeply felt, especially by Margaret. She was the last child born to them. By 1952, William had become a member of the Utah Territory House of Representatives and was assigned to the Standing Committee On Counties.44 Things seemed to be settling down, but William's traveling had not ended. It was on the 25th of April, 1853, that William took a plural wife, Margaret May Evans, an immigrant from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Her parents were David Evans and Phebe Reese. She had first married a man named Morgan Hughes, from whom she was divorced. Hughes remarried in Spanish Fork in December of 1853, and died there in 1890. Margaret Evans was 28 years old and William was 47 at the time of their marriage. No children were born to this union.45 Their marriage was sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City on October 25, 1861. The Walker War broke out in July 1853, and the settlers from the Upper Settlement left their homes and moved to Palmyra for safety. Significant inconvenience and property loss was suffered by the settlers. William Pace's abandoned home in the river bottoms was burned one night by a band of Utes. To add to the confusion, Springville and Palmyra became caught up in a dispute over a tract of land between the two settlements. George A. Smith and Ezra T. Benson had to make a visit and solve the problem by negotiation. In May 1854, Brigham Young helped arrange peace with Chief Walker and the Walker War ended.46 William received a second patriarchal blessing in Spanish Fork on March 3,1855, from Isaac Morley; his lineage was given as "Ephraim."47
20 Then, on February 24, 1856, in the Tabernacle in Great Salt Lake City, the names of a large number of Elders were read who were appointed to serve missions. William's name was among those appointed to serve in Europe.48 He served a mission to Great Britain from April 19, 1856, to April 21, 1858.49 The Missionaries for Europe sailed from New York on the ship New World on the 5th of July, 1856, and arrived in Liverpool, England, on the 7th of August. William Pace was among them. He and Elder James Beck were soon appointed to serve in Scotland under the direction of James P. Park.50 His address in Edinburgh was 11 Cheyne Street, Stock Bridge, Edinburgh.51 In 1857, William was appointed to serve as President of the Shropshire Conference, replacing Elder Tyler.52 Later on, he was released from that appointment to preside over the Staffordshire Conference, replacing Elder Joseph Burrows who was assigned to Shropshire.53 William returned from England to New York on the ship Empire on March 20, 1858. He, along with a large company of Saints and missionaries, had left Liverpool on February 19, 1958. Their voyage of 28 days was reported as remarkably swift and pleasant. The result, however, was that they arrived two weeks before they were expected, and no arrangements to meet them or to provide passage to Iowa had been made. They managed to find transportation to Chicago, and from there to Burlington, Iowa. When they arrived in Burlington, they were again told they had arrived two weeks too early, and were thrown on their own resources. By disposing of assorted items, they managed to get to Florence in the Nebraska Territory by the 3rd of May. They then moved on to Elk Horn, and finally arrived in Salt Lake City on Monday, June 21.54 Not long after arriving home in Utah Valley, William was once again heavily involved in family and community affairs. On March 21, 1959, William was appointed to serve on the Traverse Jury of the 2nd Judicial District Court in Provo City, Utah County.55 In the 1860 Census, William is shown as living in Spanish Fork in Utah County, and both of his wives are listed in his household and are designated as "wife." In 1852, John D. Lee had been called to establish a settlement in Southern Utah. By 1860, the settlement had settled down in a new location called Fort Harmony. William Pace was among 309 families called in 1861 by President Brigham Young to go on a mission to Southern Utah and establish a settlement at St. George. It was hoped that a viable crop of cotton could be grown there to replace the Territory's supply which had been cut off by the Civil War. These new "missionaries" began arriving in November and December of 1961. On December 22, John D. Lee had been chosen as President of the Harmony Branch. By January 4,1862, Lee was reporting that the unusually heavy rain and snow that started falling on Christmas Day had "almost decomposed and returned back to its native element [adobe]" the Fort. William and Harvey A. Pace and George Washington Sevy, who were just arriving from Spanish Fork, helped move Lee and five of his wives and their families to a new location on Ash Creek on January 18, 1862. The new location was further west in the Harmony Valley where Lee had already established a farm site. Lee's wife, Sarah Caroline, was left behind with two children, but a cave-in of the walls on February 6 killed the two little ones.56 They are buried in the cemetery Lee established on his farm property which is now owned by Gordon H. Pace. Lee's wife, Agatha Ann, is also buried there. William and Harvey Pace were soon joined by Wilson D. and by William's brother, James, and their families. The Pace's settled on the northeast side of Ash Creek and what became the most southern street of the New Harmony community. They settled on fertile ground that could be well- watered by irrigation. Homes were made in dugouts until more permanent structures could be built. These permanent homes were patterned after the "shot-gun" style the Paces had known in North
21 Carolina and Tennessee. They were of adobe and wood, and were surfaced with red brick as it became available. William was a farmer, rancher, and sheepherder, as well as carrying church and civic responsibilities. He and Harvey A. were very industrious, but initially this had a negative impact on their participation in Branch meetings. On two occasions, they were chastised for working on the Sabbath and not attending their meetings. Their responses were that "they were too busy." William and Harvey had very large families to provide for, so it is easy to understand their perception that work was more important than meetings. William opened the first store in New Harmony, and was appointed the first Postmaster in 1866.57 By 1867, he was also serving in the Utah Territorial Militia. He was appointed a captain by John Steele.58 William and Margaret apparently prospered as they continued to live in New Harmony and to extend their holdings. By 1870, William was reporting the value of his real estate as $2,000.00 and of all other property as $3,000.00.59 These are significant sums for that time and area. William Pace died October 30, 1876, in New Harmony, Washington County, Utah, at 70 years of age.60 He was buried November 2, 1876, in the New Harmony Cemetery.
Biography of William Pace (1806-1876)61
William Pace was born July 3, 1806 (this date is consistent through all research data) .... Sometime after the birth of [the] fourth sister, Rutha, in 1803, the family answered the call of the Western frontier and moved to Double Springs, Rutherford County, Tennessee. Much is left to the imagination concerning the journey of the Paces to Tennessee with James and Mary Ann in their early twenties and their five little girls, all born within five years. Details of Nancy's childhood are left for one to ponder but we might assume it was one of happiness with so many sisters so close in age, as well as one of hard work and responsibility, learned at a very early age as her father attempted to tame the frontier. Undoubtedly much joy was felt in the family in 1806 as a boy was finally born into the family. We do know he was born of goodly parents who taught him righteous principles and loved and sacrificed for him. They gave him security and set for him excellent examples to follow. After having five daughters there must have been joy and rejoicing in the Pace home at the birth of this their first son. He was named William after his grandfather and we are sure he loved and honored this name. William's father, James, was a farmer, and at this time in history, little was known about the practices of rebuilding soil by means of crop rotation, fertilizing etc., and as a result, people moved rather frequently because the tobacco plant, which was their main crop, quickly depleted the soil. When the family moved from Georgia into Tennessee they acquired much land around Double Springs in Rutherford County. William was only a small boy when his father, James, answered the call to fight for his country in the Revolutionary War. He gave his life in the memorable battle of New Orleans on Dec. 23, 1814. This young family continued to grow to adulthood under the direction of their mother, Mary Ann Loving Pace. William and his brother, James, must have learned the value of work and a love for the soil as they were growing up because they both went on and became farmers. When William reached adulthood, he met and fell in love with a kind and loving young woman, Margaret Nichols. (A grandson, Levi Benjamin, wrote this of his grandparents, William and Margaret: They were of Southern thoroughbred blood. Grandmother was one of superior breeding and an extraordinary woman.) William and Margaret were married on October 21,1828. Margaret, daughter of Daniel Nichols and Margaret [sic] Alexander of Kentucky, was born May 30, 1808, in Logan County, Kentucky. Margaret brought much joy and happiness to William's life. To this union were born nine sons and one daughter. This young couple followed in the footsteps of their forebears and acquired land in Rutherford County and became well-to-do.
22 About this time, the missionaries of the Mormon Church were proselyting in Tennessee and contacted W illiam and Margaret, who accepted the gospel. Because they wanted to be near the Prophet Joseph Smith and the main body of Saints, the Pace family sold their property which consisted of a beautiful home, negro servants, and many acres of land, and went to Nauvoo. In Nauvoo, William and Margaret secured land and built a beautiful nine-room home. They lived the gospel and followed the counsel of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Their trials and tribulations while in Nauvoo were many. The saints and their families were often molested by non-believers and mobbers. They were often forced to sleep in the fields and other hiding places for many nights at a time in fear of being killed. On December 29, 1843, the Prophet Joseph selected 40 men to act as city policemen. They met with the Council and were sworn into office, to support the city of Nauvoo, and the instructions of the mayor according to the best of their ability. William Pace, along with his brother, James, was called as a policeman of Nauvoo by Captain Jonathan Dunham to guard and uphold the law as set up under the Constitution. Along with the work of being a policeman, William, at this period of his life, was also busily engaged in helping to build the Temple of our Lord in the city of Nauvoo. This family lived through all the perilous times of the saints even to the martyrdoms of the Prophet Joseph and his brother, Hyrum, in the Carthage Jail on June 27,1844. Soon after the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the saints were forced to leave all they owned and start on the Westward Trek to the promised land of Zion where they would worship as they pleased. William and his family were with the saints in Council Bluffs, Iowa, when many of the company's men were sent with the Mormon Battalion to war against Mexico. William's brother, James, was selected as first lieutenant for Company E under Captain David C. Davis. William's son, Wilson Daniel (age 15), was also called to go on this march. With James gone, the added responsibility of caring for his wife, Lucinda Strickland Pace, and his family were added to William's shoulders. This responsibility he bore nobly. After the men left with the Mormon Battalion, there were only 25 men left in the company. This left them short-handed when it came to fording the rivers and getting over the bad places along the trail. In Lee County, Iowa, on the 8th of September, 1844, son number eight (Parley Pratt) was born to William and Margaret. The winter ahead of them was hard, but they persevered, reinforcing their wagons and replenishing their food supply. William was one of the signers of a petition to establish a Post Office near the log tabernacle in Pottawattamie in the state of Iowa where many thousands were without this facility. At Council Bluffs the saints organized themselves to journey west with Brigham Young as President. The worst problem they had was that the saints did not understand how to provide for the long journey and consequently they ran out of provisions. With times of hunger, ragged clothing, tired and aching bodies, and after all their trials, the company that William and Margaret were with, known as the Brigham Young Company, arrived in SaltLakeon Sept. 20,1848. They immediately began to prepare houses for winter. Some were huts and most any kind of crude shelter that would get them through the winter. William and family settled in Cottonwood one year, then were sent by Brigham Young to Utah valley to find and settle new country and establish a place where other saints could be sent as they migrated to Salt Lake Valley. While at Provo, William assisted in building the old fort as a protection against Indian raids. It was also this year that the ninth son, Eli Nichols, was born on the 18th of Sept. 1849, to William and Margaret. In 1850, William Pace accompanied by John Holt, John H. Redd, a Mr. Glenn, and a Mr. Patrick came to Spanish Fork and settled about one and a half miles above the present site of Spanish Fork. In the spring of 1851, the South Ditch was dug, water from the river was taken for irrigation purposes. Fortune seemed to favor the settlers and a good crop was grown the first year. A branch of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized in Spanish Fork on the 10th day of March, 1851, with Stephen Markham as President, and John Holt and John H. Redd as counselors; William Pace, Bishop, with John W. Berry and Lorin Roundy as Counselors. Later the offices of President and Bishop merged into one, called Bishop. William was Bishop until he was
23 called on a mission to England in 1856, then John L. Butler, a veteran of the early days of the church, was sustained as Bishop. On August 2, 1852, William was elected a representative to the territorial legislature from Utah County. On December 13, 1852, they met in Territorial Assembly in the state house. He was assigned to work on a Committee of Counties with Albert Allen and John Rowberry. In 1852, troubles were so bad with the Indians that the family of William and Margaret, along with other settlers, went to the Palmyra settlement to live where they could have more protection from the Indians. Here, another child, Mary Ann, the only girl was born on the 17th of February, 1852, and great was their sorrow when she passed away on the 24th of February, 1852. The Walker War broke out, making the Indians especially troublesome from Provo to Payson during the year 1853. The Paces worked hard trying to be peace makers and befriending the saints in their troubles. Following the close of the Walker War in the summer of 1854, those who had taken land in the Spanish Fork river bottoms above the site of Palmyra felt safe to return to their homes. For protection against further depredations by the Indians, they decided to build a fort in which the settlers could live. Prior to this time, they had lived in dugouts because of the scarcity of building materials. The structure was built of adobes with walls two feet thick and twenty feet high. The homes were built along the inner side of the outside walls of the fort. Near the center of the fort was a well with a log pump. It was considered a strong fortification for those days, and the settlers felt secure within its walls from attacks of the savages. During the winter of 1854-1855, there lived within the walls of the fort nineteen families: Bishop William Pace, John L. Butler, Isaac Brockbank, H. B. M. Jolley, James Youd, Wilson D. Pace, Harvey A. Pace, William F. Pace, Lemuel H. Redd, John H. Redd, Matthew Caldwell, Zebedee Coltrin, Amos Stils, Cyrus Snell, Mrs. Elizabeth McKinley, Orville Simons, Joseph B. Hawks, George W. Sevey, and Kennion T. Butler. On July 27, 1855, President Smith visited Spanish Fork, staying at Bishop William Pace's home. President Smith commended the Paces for the great amount of work they had done with the Indians regenerating and building good will that peace might be maintained. On Feb. 24, 1856, William was called to go on a mission to England. He departed from Boston on July 5, 1856, sailing on the "New World" for Liverpool. On January 1, 1857, William was appointed to succeed Elder Tyler as President of Shropshire Conference in Great Britain. He served a great and honorable mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The fields were white, ready to harvest, in Great Britain and many conversions were made into the church. On June 23, 1858, he was released to come home with a company of immigrants wanting to get to Zion. He found his family well, but they had endured hardship, and thus were happy to have him near for support. Early in 1861, William was called to assist in settling Southern Utah. He took three of his sons and families with him to this new land. They settled at Fort Harmony, then the most southern settlement in Utah. At this time, the old adobe fort was crumbling to the danger point, and it was decided to abandon the place. They located the town on a new site. The move was accomplished, thus the Paces were among the founders of the present town of New Harmony, Utah. In keeping with the covenant of mutual helpfulness entered into at Nauvoo, the Mormon Church incorporated what came to be called the Perpetual Emigration Fund. Donations were taken in and the money loaned to poor members and converts wherever they may be, who wished "to come to Zion" (gather to the Church in Utah). As fast as they could, the borrowers repaid the loan and the fund, in this way, revolved over and over again. Through the work of the Perpetual Fund over 85,000 people, too poor to help themselves, were transported to the Intermountain West from wherever the church found them. From 1861 to 1868, this emigration was in its height. Each summer, hundreds of outfits were sent down to Florence on the M ississippi River to meet those poor converts and bring them, cost free to "Zion." The teams and outfits were all donated and the drivers gave their time. The trip occupied an entire summer. In 1 863, New Harmony, with less than 100 population, was called upon to furnish three outfits, with four yoke of oxen to each outfit for such a journey to the plains. The Pace family, William and his three sons, were the first to respond. They furnished one complete outfit as well as a sizeable monetary contribution After the town of New Harmony was established William served as Postmaster from 1861-1875 (sic).
24 William died in New Harmony on October 30, 1876, ending a life of service to his fellow men. He is buried in the New Harmony Cemetery.

Conquerors of the West62
William's father was killed by Indians [sic] during the Warofl812, leaving William's mother a widow with six daughters and two sons. William was the oldest. He joined the Church and came west in 1848. The Pace family owned land in Tennessee which they sold to buy land in Nauvoo. After coming west, they settled in Spanish Fork in 1851. He was a missionary to England in 1856, a bishop in Spanish Fork from 1852-1856, and served whenever called. In 1861, his family moved to New Harmony. His brother, James, was sent there to start a new settlement and William went with him. While there, William opened the first store and was the postmaster until 1875. William served in the following positions: policeman in Nauvoo, IL, city councilman in Provo, UT in 1851, member of the Utah State Legislature, School Trustee, and Spanish Fork City Treasurer. He was a farmer, rancher, and sheepherder. Sub. by Lynn Ottesen and Wesley Ottesen.

Margaret Nichols Margaret Nichols, the first wife of William Pace, descended from Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander. She was born May 30,1808,64 in Logan County, Kentucky. Sometime after her birth, her parents moved to Rutherford County in Tennessee. At age 20, she married William Pace at Double Springs on October 21, 1828. No official record of her birth or their marriage has yet been found. This information has come from secondary sources. The first official record of Margaret Nichols is the 1830 Census for Rutherford County65 in which her age is given as 20-30 years. By that date, William and Margaret had become the parents of one son. In the 1840 Census66, William and Margaret are reported as having five children, one of them a daughter age 10-15. However, birth records for the family show five sons and no daughters born between 1829 and 1838. James Byron Pace's birth would fit into this time slot, but he died as an infant. Perhaps Margaret had household help or another relative of the family was with them that day. In addition, William's mother, Mary Ann, appears to be living with them. William's sister, Patsy Anderson, is also living nearby along with her five children.
25 According to John D. Lee's Diary61, it is shortly after this that he made contact with William and Margaret's family in Rutherford County, taught them the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, and baptized them and their two sons over the age of eight-Wilson Daniel and Harvey Alexander. The family wanted to join the Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, and were soon on their way to that city. Their original baptism records are not available, but both William and Margaret were rebaptized on March 31, 1964.68 In 1843, Margaret received her first Patriarchal Blessing from Patriarch Hyrum Smith.69 No lineage was given for her. In 1844, Margaret was in Lee County, Iowa, when her son, Parley Pratt Pace, was born. By December, 1845, she had received her endowment in the Nauvoo Temple.70 These are indications of the wholeheartedness of her acceptance of Mormonism. Margaret was soon on her way west to the Salt Lake Valley with her family and experiencing the rigors of pioneer travel. They eventually entered the Valley in the Brigham Young Company of September 21,1848. After settling for a short time in the Cottonwood area, they moved south into what are now the Provo, Spanish Fork, and then Payson areas. In 1853, Margaret accepted a second wife for William, Margaret May Evans, an immigrant from Wales. Margaret (Nichols) Pace was 45 and Margaret (Evans) Pace was 28. In 1856, William was called on a mission to England and his two wives assumed responsibility for their joint family for a period of two years. By 1861, Margaret was again on the move to help in the settlement of New Harmony in what was then called Kane County and is now Washington County, Utah. On February 7, 1881, Margaret received a second Patriarchal Blessing from William McBride.71 Again, no lineage was mentioned for her. William and Margaret (Nichols) Pace had ten children in all, of which three sons and their only daughter died as infants. Their last child was born in 1852, the year before her husband entered into plural marriage. William and Margaret (Evans) Pace had no children. Mrs. Margaret (Nichols) Pace died in New Harmony, Utah, on September 21, 1887, at age 79.72 She is buried in the New Harmony Cemetery, along with her husband, William, and his plural wife, Mrs. Margaret May (Evans) Pace. William had died in 1876 at age 70, and Margaret (Evans) Pace lived until 1912, when she died at the age of 87. The write-up about Margaret (Nichols) Pace in Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude73 paints a rather rosy picture of Margaret and her life's experiences:
Margaret's parents were what was called southern thoroughbred people. She was a kind, lovely young woman who attracted William Pace and married him in Double Springs, Rutherford, Tennessee. They followed in the footsteps of their forebears and acquired much land in Rutherford County, Tenn. To run their plantation, it was necessary to have slaves and they became very well to do. In 1842, John D. Lee, a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taught William, Margaret, and their family about the restored gospel. They were baptized and because they wanted to be near the Prophet Joseph Smith and the main body of the Saints, the Pace family sold their beautiful plantation, home, and their slaves. In Nauvoo, William and Margaret secured land and built a beautiful nine-room home. Their trials and tribulations while in Nauvoo were many, including the martyrdom of the Prophet. They were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple on January 30, 1846. When the members of the church were driven out of Nauvoo in 1847, they went with other Saints to Council Bluffs, Iowa. They persevered through that winter of 1847-48, while preparing for the long journey to cross the Plains. They arrived with the Brigham Young Wagon Company, which arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on September 21, 1848. They prepared a crude shelter in Cottonwood, Utah area to get them through that winter. Then they were sent to Utah Valley by Brigham Young to find and settle new country. They helped with the founding of Provo in 1849. In the spring of 1850, they moved on to settle the area of Spanish Fork. Her husband served as bishop until he was called to serve a mission in England
26 in 1856. While living in Palmyra, Utah for more protection from the Indians, Margaret gave birth to her only daughter who lived only seven days. They helped to build the big fort which they had to build for their homes for protection from the Indians. They endured many hardships while her husband was in England, but they survived and were so happy upon his return. In early 1861, they were called to assist in settling in New Harmony, Washington, Utah which was the most southern settlement in Utah. Her husband opened the first store and served as the Postmaster from 1861 to 1875. Margaret served faithfully in her church callings until she died in 1887.
It is difficult to judge how much of the early life of Margaret is wishful thinking and how much is an accurate reflection of the family's economic and social status. Their frequent moves suggest they were not so well off as this source implies. However, there is no question that Mrs. Margaret (Nichols) Pace was an outstanding example of pioneer womanhood.
Margaret May Evans Margaret May Evans was born at Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales, on June 26, 1825, to David Evans and Phebe Reese.74 She received her Patriarchal Blessing at New Harmony on February 7, 1881, the same day Margaret (Nichols) Pace received her second patriarchal blessing. There is almost no information available about Margaret May Evans. She may or may not have lived in a long-term and intimate relationship with William, but was always considered to be his wife. They had no children. She does not appear in William's household in the 1870 Census, but there is a Margaret Evans in the household of David Evans in Hyrum, Utah, who may be either her widowed father or an older brother. Margaret Evans may have spent some time in Cache Valley keeping house for her widowed father or brother, and then returned to New Harmony. A David Evans (born April 8,1808; died May 30,1893) is buried in the New Harmony Cemetery. It appears he may have moved there to be nearer Margaret May. By the 1880 Census, Margaret May is shown in the same household as Margaret (Nichols) Pace, and Margaret (N.) is designated as "head of household" while Margaret (E.) is designated as "wife." She outlived both William and his first wife, Margaret (Nichols) Pace, dying at age 87 on October 23,1912,75 and continued to be known as William's widow after Margaret (N.'s) death. The report of her death was as follows:
Mrs. Margaret E. Pace, one of the settlers here in 1862, died October 23rd of general debility. She was the widow of the late William Pace. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in her native country in her youth, and lived faithful to the cause to the end.7
Mrs. Margaret May (Evans) Pace was 87 years of age at the time of her death. She, too, was buried in the New Harmony Cemetery.]
James Pace and Mary Ann Loving77
James Pace was born January 23, 1778, to William Pace and Ruth Lambert, in North Carolina,78 the third of eight children, six sons and two daughters. While he was still young, his family moved to Georgia, settling in Oglethorpe County near the county line of Clarke County. James married Mary Ann Loving on November 22,1796, in Lexington, Oglethorpe, Georgia.79 They were very young, eighteen and seventeen years of age, respectively. Their marriage was sealed on February 15,1877, in the St. George Temple. This marriage produced seven daughters and two sons:
27 Polly or Mary; Elizabeth; Nancy; Naomi; Ruth; William, who married Margaret Nichols; Margaret; James; and Zany. Shortly after Ruth's birth in 1803, James moved his family to Rutherford County in Tennessee, where they settled at Double Springs. This was part of a general move of Paces and related families. On the 1810 Census record for Rutherford County, William Pace the elder, Wilson Pace, James Pace, John Loving, John Pace, Jacob Fortenberry, David Fortenberry, William Pace the younger, and William Anderson the elder are listed in close proximity to each other.80 In 1807, James and Mary Ann lost their oldest child, Mary or Polly, apparently named after her Grandmother Stroup, at the age of nine. In the 1810 Census of Rutherford County, the James Pace household contained 2 males, including himself, and six females, including Mary Ann. Both James and Mary Ann are listed as between 26 and 45 years of age.81 James would have been about 32. By 1811, James had begun purchasing land in Rutherford County. He purchased acreage from Richard W. Case on December 28, and about a year later, on January 25 1813, he and his brother, John, bought land from Jacob Stoop.82 The next major event in the lives of James and Mary Ann was the War of 1812. Mary Ann was left with eight children, the youngest an infant daughter named Zany who was born in 1813. James was separated from his family by volunteer actions in Alabama and Louisiana.83 He survived his first involvement in the War, but died at the Battle of New Orleans in Louisiana on December 23, 1814.84 He was just 36 years of age. Mrs. Mary Ann (Loving) Pace, at age 35, was left with eight little children to raise and farm property to manage. Although there is little factual data available, there is little doubt that she relied heavily on extended family members to help her through this challenging experience.
The family of James Pace and Mary Ann Loving*5
James Pace, born in 1778 in North Carolina, probably moved from North Carolina to Georgia with his parents at the age of 17. About a year later in 1796, he married Mary Ann Loving while in Georgia. He, along with two other brothers and their wives, bought land on Shoal Creek, a branch of the Oconee River just west of the Oglethorpe County line. By 1805, however, they had arranged to sell out their property and move to Tennessee. The three brothers (William, Wilson, and James) must have selected their land and entered it for a grant about 1805. They built their "improvements," probably a log cabin and a barn, cleared and planted their land, and waited for a survey to be made. When this was completed, they received their grants. Apparently, James obtained a grant for fifty acres in Double Springs, a settlement west of present-day Murfreesboro. James' first five children were born in Clarke County, Georgia, the last being Ruth, born in 1804. The next child, William Franklin, is said to have been born at "Double Springs" on 3 July 1806. In 1813 James was granted 40 acres some miles east of Double Springs on "the east fork of Stones River." This was in the Cripple Creek area. On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain because of British harassment of American shipping. This became known as the War of 1812. To the Paces in Tennessee this war, at first, probably seemed quite remote since the troubles were in the northern coastal areas of the country. However, the British stirred up the Creek Indians to attack a fort in Alabama. This brought the war closer to home for the Paces. When news of the attack reached General Andrew Jackson in Nashville,, Tennessee, he immediately called for 2,000 volunteers. This was in September of 1813. Four of the five Pace brothers promptly responded to the call; they were William, Jr., Wilson, James, and Kinchon [sic]. The volunteers gathered near to where the Paces lived in Franklin County, the next county over at that time. Another recruit in this regiment was David Crockett of Franklin County. He was mustered in on the same day as the Paces. The regiment was marched to Huntsville, Alabama, where they became members of the 2nd Regiment of Mounted Gunmen of the West Tennessee
28 Volunteers. James was made a lieutenant and Kinchon, a sergeant. Soon after, two attacks were made on the Indians: the first at a village called Tallussahatches and the other at Fort Talledega. There were a few hundred Indians killed in these battles. In accordance with their enlistment terms, the Paces were released December 22, 1813—just in time to be home for Christmas. The War of 1812 was not over yet, however. The British were making maneuvers in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. So, again, a call went out for more volunteers in September, 1814. David Crockett, James Pace, and this time, John Pace, responded to the call. They were mustered in on the same day. James was made a captain this time and John a private. Crockett became a third sergeant. Again, the regiment marched south. On November 7, 1814, under the leadership of General Andrew Jackson, they stormed and took Pensacola, Florida. The British departed. Crockett remained with a battalion in Florida. His association with the Paces ended there, for the Paces were sent to Fort Montgomery, then to Sandy Creek, which must have been near B aton Rouge, Louisiana, On December 13, 1814, the British unexpectedly entered Lake Borgne, forty miles east of New Orleans. General Jackson then had to rush his forces 120 miles from Baton Rouge. A British advance guard then marched to within seven miles below New Orleans where the Americans had no troops or defense works. Acting swiftly. Jackson led 5,000 troops and made a successful attack on the enemy force. This action took place the night of December 23-24. It was during this attack that James Pace was killed. Thus, Mary Ann was left with a large family of young children. The youngest was Zaney, who was born just a year and a half before her father was killed. Mary Ann was appointed guardian of the children and administered the estate. Efforts were made to collect her husband's pay from the government. On the basis of 87 days of service, he was entitled to $194.10, and this amount was finally paid to Mary Ann on June 16, 1816. She later received $85.00 more for the transport of his baggage. With this modest capital, and James' 115 acres (as per the tax rolls of 1813), she could manage very well. The farm seems to have been productive, judging from the provisions to feed the family for a year, as "layed off by a committee appointed by the Court in October, 1815 (after the crops were gathered). By 1822, Mary Ann was able to buy another 100 acres "on the west side of Cripple Creek." She sold this tract in 1832, the day her youngest son, James, became 21. She died November 11, 1841.
James Pace 1811-1888*6
James Pace, my father was born in North Carolina, January 23, 1778, and he married Mary Ann Loving, a daughter of Thomas and Polly Loving. They had a family of eight-six daughters and two sons. I was the youngest son. At the time of my birth, June 15, 1811, my father and mother were residing in Double Springs, Rutherford County, Tennessee. Father volunteered into the service of the U. S. War under the command of General Jackson. He was in a great many battles with the Indians; he was also commander of four companies. He died in battle on the 8th day of January, 1815, at New Orleans. Of the eight children, three came to Utah-William, Nancy, and myself. Nancy brought cotton seed which started the first cotton in Dixie. (Note: Southern Utah is sometimes referred to as "Dixie.")
Mary Ann Loving Mary Ann Loving was born about 1779 to Thomas Loving and Polly Stroup, probably in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, but perhaps in North Carolina.87 Her family must have moved fairly often. Her father was given a land grant in North Carolina in 1779, but by the time Mary Ann was 18 years of age, she was living in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, where she married James Pace in November of 1796. After Mary Ann's husband was killed in the War of 1812, she was granted an interest in her husband's estate, and appointed guardian of all her children. Elizabeth married in 1817, which left Mary Ann with six children to care for.88 In the 1820 Census of Rutherford County, Tennessee, Marion [sic] Pace is listed as head of a household containing 2 males under 16 years of age and five females under age 26.89
29 By the 1830 Census, Mary had one son and one daughter remaining in her. household.90 Ten years later, in the 1840 Census, she is shown in the household of her eldest son, William.91 Mrs. Mary Ann (Loving) Pace died November 11, 1841, in Rutherford County, Tennessee. She was approximately 62 years of age.
William Pace, Jr., and Ruth Lambert 92
William Pace was born sometime between 1750 and 1760, based on the age given for him in the 1830 Census.93 Most family records attribute his birth year as 1750. However, a deed signed by his parents in 1745 indicates he could have been born as early as 1746. Although his parentage has been variously attributed to Richard Pace94, James Pace95, and William Pace,96 intensive research indicates he was probably born to William Pace and Mary Evans in either Granville or Edgecombe County, North Carolina. His last known location in North Carolina was in Franklin County. It is possible that he did not actually move very far, if at all, from the place of his birth; the county designation just changed over the 30 to 40 years he lived in North Carolina. William Pace, Jr., married Ruth Lambert about 1771, probably in Wake or Franklin County, North Carolina. A marriage record for them has not yet been found. Ruth Lambert was born about 1751,97 probably a daughter of William and Martha Lambert of Wake County, North Carolina. There seems little, if any, doubt that William's wife was Ruth Lambert. The identity of William's wife is established in the Temple Records of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.98 In addition, there is a history of the use of the name Ruth in subsequent generations of their descendants.99 William Pace owned land in Franklin County, just across the county line from William Lambert in Wake County. William and Ruth became the parents often children: William, III; Wilson; James, who married Mary Ann Loving; Drury; John; Jeremiah; Martha Beadie; Kinchen; Isaac; and Edith. In 1779, Bute County was abolished and divided into Warren County and Franklin County:On March 15, 1780, Carolina granted to William Pace 192 acres in Franklin County lying on the waters of Tar River.100 Eleven years later, when the first official United States Census was taken on August 2, William, Jr. was listed in Franklin County, with his wife and six sons.101 In 1792, William begins selling his property in Franklin County. On April 25, he sells 80 acres to Joel Conyers for 72 pounds Virginia money. By 1793, a William Pace of Franklin County is selling 143-1/2 acres to Josiah Eley.102 In June of 1994, William Pace of Franklin County sells one slave to Thomas Lanier.103 Shortly after this, William and his family must have left North Carolina. By 1795/1796, a land sale to William Pace is recorded in the State of Georgia.104 The move to Georgia apparently didn't improve William, Jr.'s fortunes, for he and his sons soon moved on to Tennessee. There is no William Pace listed in the 1800 Census in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. The 1800 Census records for Clarke County were destroyed in the War Between the States. However, a William Pace is listed in the Franklin County Township Tax List of 1805.105 By the 1810 Census, William and Ruth Pace are established in Rutherford County, Tennessee.106 They still have two sons and one daughter remaining at home, probably Kinchen, Isaac, and Edith. Members of the Loving, Fortenberry, and Anderson families had also moved to Tennessee by 1810.107 By 1820, William and Ruth have moved to Hickman County in Tennessee to be closer to their sons, Wilson, Drury, Jeremiah, and Kinchen.108 Mrs. Ruth (Lambert) Pace died between 1820 and 1830 when William (now Sr.) is back in Rutherford County living with his eldest son, William (now Jr.).109 She was between 74 and 84 years of age. William, Jr., (now Sr.) died between 1830 and 1840, probably prior to 1837. He was between 84 and 93 years of age.
30 Ruth Lambert Because no marriage record has been located, there has been a longtime controversy about the name of William Pace, Jr.'s wife. Howard suggested that it was Elizabeth (surname unknown) and not Ruth Lambert. However, temple sealing records of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seem to prove conclusively that her name was Ruth Lambert. Her grandson and his daughter both participated in the rites that name her, and he would have known her personally.110
The Family of William Pace and Ruth Lambert1"
William Pace, probably coming from North Carolina about 1795, acquired land in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. With him came his wife, Ruth, seven sons and one daughter. Another son and daughter were born after he reached Georgia. His three oldest sons, William, Jr., Wilson, and James soon reached the age for marriage and needed land of their own. They all bought farms on Shoal Creek, a branch of the Oconeeka River just west of the Oglethorpe County line. By 1805, however, these three sons had arranged to sell out and move to Tennessee. There is a suggestion of haste in making this change. Perhaps they were just following the trend to go west. They settled in Rutherford County. William, Sr. and his three younger sons, John, Kinchen, and Isaac, must have soon followed the older sons to Tennessee. William, Sr., William, Jr., Wilson, James and John appear on the 1810 Census for Rutherford County. The remaining two sons, Drury and Jeremiah, remained in Clarke County, Georgia for a time. The urge to push further west so prevalent in the first quarter of the 19th Century, must have affected most of the Pace's who settled in Rutherford County. William, Sr., and his sons, with the exception of James and William, Jr., sought new land in Hickman County. They settled about 1817 on land between Duck River and Little Piney Creek that had originally belonged to Robert Wright. The Pace's settled about a mile west of the town of Centerville where the Duck River makes a sharp turn south which became known as "Pace Bend." Five Pace families are shown in the 1820 Census in Hickman County, William, Sr., Wilson, Kinchen, Jeremiah, and a Henry. William, Sr., was now in his 70's, and probably too old to work his own farm. He did have a slave "in agriculture," but by the 1830 Census is shown in the household of his oldest son, William, Jr., in Rutherford County. It appears that he moved back to Rutherford County between 1820 and 1830. In 1820, he and his wife, Ruth, are shown in Hickman County with the other children of their family. In the 1830 Census, there is no mention of his wife. She may have died in either Hickman or Rutherford County. William, Sr., himself, must have died between 1830 and 1837, when his son, William, Jr., dropped the "Jr." from his name in a deed selling land to Joseph McCracken.
William Pace, Sr. and Mary (Evans?)
William Pace, Sr., was the eldest son of George and Obedience Pace. He was of age [21] by May 20, 1746, but not of age at the time of George Pace's death about 1744. Therefore, his birth must have occurred about 1725, probably in Bertie County, North Carolina.112 By the time of his father's death in 1744, Bertie County had become Edgecombe County. In 1746, Edgecombe County in turn became Granville County which became Bute County in 1764 and was divided into Franklin and Warren Counties in 1779. These changes in county lines and names increase the difficulty of tracing William's life. In February, 1744, William Pace went to Court and selected Captain Josh. John Alston as his guardian.113 By 1746, Obedience and her new husband, Robert Cade, Jr., had recorded a quitclaim deed of "all real property in Edgecombe County or any other county or any right of dower" to William.114 At the same time, William and his wife, Mary, executed a deed of sale to Robert Cade.115 In 1748, ownership of this property was again transferred, this time from Robert and Obedience to
31 a Charles Drewery.116 This sequence of transactions indicates that William had married Mary prior to May of 1746, probably in Edgecombe County. Her parents appear to have been Benjamin and Mary Evans. In the inventory and sale of Benjamin's estate dated March 20, 1746, William purchased three items.117 Benjamin's wife, Mary Evans purchased a number of items. Robert Cade, William's stepfather, and a John Jones, who may have been related to William's second wife, Jemima, among many others, also purchased items. At the final division of the estate, dated April 11, 1749, Benjamin's daughter, Mary Pace along with her mother and five siblings, is listed as receiving £12.2.9 Virginia money.118 William and Mary had two known children, William, Jr., the husband of Ruth Lambert, and George. Their oldest child could have been born as early as 1746/1747, although William, Jr.'sbirth year is often suggested as 1750. By 1750, William, Sr., was no longer living in Edgecombe County, but was now located in Granville County, which was established in 1746. This is where the confusion begins as to whether our William who married Ruth Lambert was the son of another William or of a James, since both brothers were now in Granville County. A William Pace is first recorded in Granville County in 1747.119 In a North Carolina tax list for 1746 to 1748, a William Pace is listed on the Ross Tax List.120 The tax list for 1753 shows a William Pace, son of James Pace.121 In another list of earliest inhabitants of Granville County, North Carolina, a William Pace, Jr. and a James Pace are listed among the December 6, 1754, militia members in Captain Benjamin Simm's Company.122 And in the tax list for 1762, a William Pace is still listed as living in Granville County, together with a Negro boy named Samm.123 In 1764, Granville County became Bute County. A William Pace appears on Captain Milner's District in the tax lists of 1764-1779 about 1766.124 William Pace signed the Oath of Allegiance in Captain Miner's District in 1775/1776.125 Two deeds dated in 1768 refer to property on Crooked Creek "to mouth of Spring Branch" owned by William Pace.126 Mrs. Mary (Evans) Pace died after 1750 and prior to 1770, and William married a second time to a woman much younger than he. His new wife's name was Jemima. It has been suggested that the name of William's second wife was Jemima Jones.127 William and Jemima had seven children, John, Martha, Obedience, Edward or Edith, Jane, Mary, and Winifred. As evidence in support of the Jones family connection, there are a number of deeds and other legal documents dated from as early as 1740 to as late as 1797. In 1740, an account of sale from Henry Jones to William Pace is recorded in Bertie County.128 In 1793, a Robert Jones witnessed a deed in Franklin County transferring 143-1/2 acres of land from Josiah Eley to William Pace.129 An undated inventory and sale (approximately 1794-1797) of the estate of William Jones in Franklin County lists William Pace as one of the buyers. 13° William Pace is also mentioned in connection with the guardianship of aLucy Jones (1794-1796), the division of an estate of Robert Jones (1797), and as a buyer along with Jacob Jones of the estate of Elias Stallings (1796).131 The problem with these transactions is that most of them took place after the death of William Pace, Sr. in 1789/1790. These records do suggest that if Jemima was a Jones, her parents' names may have been William and Martha. William, Sr., and his wife, Jemima, named their first daughter, Martha, and William, Jr. named a daughter, Martha Beadie. By 1775, William Pace, Sr., was selling property to William Fish, but apparently this did not include all the property owned in Bute County by William.132 On February 13, 1777, he was appointed overseer of a stretch of road located in Bute County,133 a responsibility assigned only to land owners. By May of 1777, William was receiving title to property owned by Robert and Patty Sheffield134 On the 13th of August in 1777, William Pace was appointed to the Grand Jury for Bute
32 County,135 again land ownership was required. On August 4, 1778, William purchased 192 acres of land in Bute County from Robert Sheffield. The remaining 200 acres in the transfer went to Moses Babb.136 Additional references to this transaction are dated in 1779.137 There is a William Pace listed on the membership records of the Poplar Grove Baptist Church in 1788, as well as a William Lambert.138 Both have had the notation "deed" added to their names. William's wife, Jemima, is also on the membership records,139 and has a notation of excommunication added to her name. Church minutes report her involvement in a controversy with Anna Tant and Martha Pippin on December 13, 1788.14° By January 10, 1789, the investigating committee reported they had satisfaction and there appeared to be a reconciliation among the three women.141 By February 11,1792, Jemima was again involved in a controversy with Floyd Williams in which he was declared "nonfellowship" and she was acquitted.142 William Pace, Sr.'s association with the Baptist Church is the first indication in the records that the Pace's had made a break with the Anglican Church. It suggests an inclination to consider alternative religious views that preceded the family's connection with the Mormon faith. William Pace, Sr., died in Franklin County, North Carolina, between May 2,1789, when his will was signed, and February 25,1790, when James Butler appeared in Court as a witness to verify it, perhaps about 67 years of age. An inventory of the estate was made on May 7, 1790. His will leaves to his wife, Jermime [sic] Pace the use of his manor plantation during her widowhood, a bed, furniture, a grey mare, 20 hogs, one cow and one calf. After the marriage or death of his mother, his son, John, is to receive the manor plantation. John is also given one slave, one bed furniture, and a mare. William leaves the lower portion of his land to his son, George. The remainder of his estate was to be sold and divided equally between six of his children, Martha, Obedience, Edith, Lanore?, Mary, and Winnifred.143 On June 22, 1790, William's will was proved in court by the oaths of James Butler and James Bolton, and his executor, James Pace, returned the inventory.144 This James Pace was probably William's younger brother. The inventory indicates William, Sr.'s level of affluence had declined significantly from that of his father, George. The inventory included only two slaves, one of whom was given to his son, John. The other one isn't mentioned, but Jemima shows one slave in her possession in subsequent tax lists. William, Jr. sold the one slave he owned prior to leaving North Carolina. Hopefully, this indicates this Pace line was turning its back on slavery as a legitimate part of farming, or it may just indicate a continuing decline in economic well-being. On the other hand, William, Jr. had eight sons and may not have needed additional manpower to help him farm his land. William, Sr., is not listed in the 1790 Census of Franklin County, North Carolina, which was taken on the first Monday in August, but there is a listing for "Jeremiah" Pace.145 This could be a spelling error and refer to Jemima, an inaccurate recording of the sex of the children living in the household, and perhaps an assumption that John was the head of household. If so, the seven males age 16 and over, with no males under age 16, and one female may have been incorrectly recorded and refer to Jemima and her six daughters and one son. However, that would suggest her youngest child would have been born by 1774, which seems impossible. However, if the recorder spelled her name wrong and got the numbers and sexes of household members wrong to start with, the entry probably refers to her household. Ten years later in the 1800 Census, Jemima is listed in Franklin County with three daughters left in her household, one of whom could have been as young as six in 1790, therefore born in 1784. There is no Jeremiah Pace listed in the 1800 or 1810 Censuses in Franklin County, North Carolina. William's widow, Jemima, outlived William by 34 years. After William's estate settlement, she is next recorded in the Franklin County Tax Lists of 1798 and 1799 as owning 140 acres and one
33 slave.146 As noted earlier, in the 1800 Census, she is listed as being the female household head over age 45 and having one daughter between the ages of 26 and 45 and two daughters between the ages of 16 and 26 living with her.147 Since we don't have much information about the birth order of her children, it is difficult to identify exactly which daughters these are. Jemima next appears on the Franklin County Tax Lists from 1804 to 1808, still possessing 140 acres and one slave until 1807 when she owns 140 acres and two slaves.148 By 1815, her acreage is listed as 145 with an aggregate value of $290 plus one slave.149 The 1820 Tax List, however, has her acreage back at 140 valued at $115.00 and again owning two slaves.150 On May 12, 1823, a deed of gift from Jemima to Patsey Pace, Simon Williams, Jr., Edy Driver, and Macky Pace was recorded, the gift to become effective after her death.151 In a statement of accounts for the estate of Edward Rigsbe, Jemima's name appears in 1824.152 An inventory of her estate is then made on October 8,1824 by her administrator, William T. Hollingsworth. By this time, she owns two female slaves, one with a child, and four slaves identified as boys.153 Her property was sold to Kinchen Alford, Patty Pace, Isaac Driver, Littlebury Upchurch, Merrit Ingraham, Henry Williams, and Macky Pace.154 The settlement of Jemima's estate ran into difficulties. By 1830, her administrator had received a judgment against Isaac Driver, Benjamin Upchurch, and Merritt Ingram.155 Inl 831, Jemima's heirs were being summoned to court by Littlebury Upchurch.156 The final account for Jemima' estate appears in 1832 and lists 21 individual parties involved in the estate's resolution.157 Jemima apparently never remarried, since her will is in the name of Jemima Pace.15S
George Pace and Obedience ?
George Pace was born in Prince George County, Virginia, about 1694 to John Pace and Elizabeth Lowe. His estimated date of birth is based on the date of his first land transaction, at which time he would have to be at least 21 years of age. On March 12,1715, George Pace sold the 121 acre plantation in Bristol, Prince George County, where he had been dwelling, to John West.159 He acknowledged the said deed in court on March 13.160 The next land transaction by George is found in 1717 in Prince George County, when his uncle, William Lowe, sells 150 acres in Bristol Parish to him for 10 pounds sterling on December 8.161 Shortly after this, George, along with other members of his Pace and Lowe families, decided to move south into the North Carolina area. His name appears on the 1721 Early Tax List in that area.162 By 1727, George is again purchasing land from his Uncle William Lowe, half of the 250 acre patent granted to William in Bertie County, North Carolina, in 1723.163 This acreage lay along the east side of Elk Marsh and on the south side of the Merratock River. In October of 1727, John Lowe, William Lowe, and George Pace joined together to sell 640 acres on the south side of the Appomatox River to William Short of Surry County, Virginia. John's wife, Ruth, relinquished her right of dower to that property.164 Henceforth, George Pace's attention was totally focused on North Carolina. George' s initial location in North Carolina was in the Chowan District near Elk Marsh Swamp and the Moratock River. Shortly after his arrival in the area, it became part of Bertie County. By 1732, the Bertie area where George Pace lived had become part of Edgecombe County. He along with George Woodliefe and others petitioned the Executive Council on November 11, to fix the county's seat of government between the Tar and Neuse Rivers, and not place it at Edenton or along the Cape Fear River.165 Apparently their petition was ignored, since Council minutes in 1740 and 1742 indicate the Council was still dealing with Bertie and Edgecombe County matters at Edenton.166 The original petition is the first piece of evidence we have that George Pace and George Woodlief had both left
34 Prince George County for the same area of North Carolina. It lends some credence to the notion that George Pace married Obedience Woodlief. The marriage of George Pace to Obedience must have occurred sometime prior to 1722 and in Prince George County, Virginia. Obedience Pace's maiden surname has been variously attributed as Woodliefand as Worsham, but there is no precise evidence to support either. The name Obedience Worsham appears much later in Virginia in a marriage to another person, so it seems unlikely Worsham is the appropriate surname for Mrs. Obedience Pace. On the other hand, there were Woodlief s in the same area in which Mrs. Obedience Pace was located and a different Pace married a Sarah Woodlief. They may have been sisters or cousins. To add further to the confusion as to her identity, there is a statement that she was apparently married first to a Howson. However, no source is cited for this assertion.167 George died in Edgecombe Count, North Carolina, about 1743/1744, at least 50 years of age. In 1744, Obedience, as administrator of his estate, filed an addition to the estate inventory. On July 3, 1744, Mrs. Obedience Pace and William Pace were named as buyers from the estate.168 George Pace seems to have been a fairly affluent farmer. The inventory of his estate shows ownership of many animals and of seven slaves.169 According to his estate division, dated May 23,1745, George Pace and Obedience (surname unknown) had five children: William, who married Mary Evans; Martha; Lucretia; James; and Mary. William was born about 1723, and James was born about 1728. Lucretia married William Cade before May 1745, and was probably about 18 years of age. This William Cade was the son of the Robert Cade, Jr. William must have been under age 21 when he married Lucretia, since his father appeared as a plaintiff in his name to have her part of the estate paid to Robert.170 By May 20, 1746, Mrs. Obedience (surname unknown) Pace had married Robert Cade, Jr. Their assumed birth years and the ages of their respective children suggest that Obedience Pace was the second wife of the Robert Cade, Jr., who was married first to Susanna Crump. A series of land transactions involving the two of them and her eldest son, William, took place over the next two years.171 One legal document that was never acted upon by the Edgecombe County Court was dated November 23,1747, appointing Robert Cade, Jr. to be the guardian of James Pace, one of the orphans of George Pace.172 It is likely that James became of age before the matter could be addressed. A number of deed transactions in Bertie, Edgecombe, and Johnston Counties confirm George's land ownership in the same areas where Robert Cade and William and James Pace held property, and they confirm that George Pace's wife was named Obedience.
John Pace and Elizabeth (Lowe?)
John Pace, the son of Richard Pace and Mary Baker, was born about 1668 in Charles City, County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Lowe about 1691, and definitely before 1720. Elizabeth was born about 1673 in Charles City County, Virginia, the daughter of William Lowe and Ann Ledbetter. She is mentioned in her father's will dated July 31,1720, as "my daughter Elizabeth Pace one shilling to be paid out of my personal estate".173 The first land transaction in John's name was recorded in Bertie County, North Carolina, on April 1, 1713, when he was granted 640 acres on the east side of the Morratock River (now known as the Roanoak River) below Occaneechey.174 and an additional 300 acres above Ocanechee. A land transfer from John Gray to John West indicates land located on the north side of the Moratock River was granted by patent to John Pace and Richard Turberville inl719.175 In 1723, Richard Turberville and John Pace and his wife, Elizabeth, sold this acreage to John Gray.176
35 A land transfer on May 10, 1725, from Henry and Grace Sims to Henry Irby refers to 200 acres on the north side of the Moratock River on Beaverdam adjoining John Pace.177 John Pace died March 28, 1727, at about age 57.178 His will, dated March 25, 1726-27, and proved August 7,1727, lists his wife, not named; his sons, John, William, and George, who married Obedience; and his daughters, Francis, Ann, Elizabeth, and Mary Melton.179 John, Jr., and William were named as executors, so they would have to have been at least 21 years of age. The estate was inventoried by his son, John, Jr.180 On that same date, August 7, 1727, a land transfer from Daniel Crawley to Gideon Gibson mentions land between John Pace and Edward Clark.181 After John Pace's death, his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth (Lowe?) Pace, married a man named Moore In 1739, she joined her sons, William and John, in leasing land in York County, Virginia, to John Corlew.182 Apparently her husband, John Pace, Sr., had continued to own land in Virginia. Mrs. Elizabeth (Lowe?) ( Pace) Moore died sometime after 1739. She would have been more than 66 years of age at the time of her death.
Richard Pace, Sr. and Mary (Baker?)
Richard Pace, the grandson of the Richard Pace who immigrated to the Virginia Colony, was born about 1636/1637 to George and Sara (Macocke?) Pace in Charles City County, Virginia. The record indicates that he was his mother's firstborn child. Both of his parents died after 1650 and prior to his 21 st birthday, probably about 1654/1655. On June 4,1655, Richard petitioned the Charles City County Court to designate William Baugh as guardian of himself and his estate during his minority.183 The law permitted a child over the age of 14 years to choose his own guardian, and the Court granted Richard's request. In 1658, Richard signed a legal document verifying the validity of a property sale made by his father, George, in 1650.184 This document verifies several important pieces of information, including the names of his parents, a rather sizable transfer of property out of his father's estate, their deaths sometime between 1650 and 1658, and when he became of age. Richard Pace was involved in two legal actions resolving disputes in 1658 and 1659/1660. The first involved a dispute about 300 pounds of tobacco to be paid by Richard, along with John Daniel and George Middleton, to William Short.185 The second concerned a controversy between Richard Pace and John Drayton over some cows. They were awarded to Richard.186 The financial pressures that caused his father, George, to sell 800 or 900 acres of land to Drewe evidently continued as Richard took over his father's estate. On February 11, 1659/1660, Richard Pace sold 200 acres of property to William Wilkins,187 and later on February 28,1659/1660, he sold an additional 300 acres of property to Thomas Madder.188 Sometime before March 13,1661/1662, Richard Pace married. His wife's name is shown as Mary. On that date, he sold additional acreage along Powell's Creek up to the border of William Wilkin's earlier purchase to Richard Taylor for £300, and she joins in the transfer.189 There has been much debate as to Mary's surname before her marriage to Richard Pace. Some support Knowles and others support Baker. No marriage record has yet been found. After a review of the evidence proposed for Mary Knowles, no direct connection was found between the John Knowles family of Henrico County and Richard Pace. There are, however, several references in Charles City County that tie Richard Pace to Richard Baker. On November 17,1662, Richard Pace, along with Richard Taylor and Thomas Tomlinson, witnesses the transfer of an unknown amount of property butting south on Richard Baker from Thomas Crooke to William Thomlinson.190 On August 3, 1664, Richard Pace appears as a witness in court to verify that Richard Baker has fulfilled his obligations to orphans
36 placed in his care.191 Then, in January, 1664/1665, Richard Baker makes a deed of gift of 140 acres on the west side of his plantation to Richard Pace.192 It is this deed of gift that suggests a family connection between the two Richards.193 A Deed of Partition was signed the same day by Richard Baker and Patrick Jackson with Richard Pace as one of the witnesses.194 This deed was consented to by Richard Baker's widow, Ann, on April3,1665, and recorded February 7,1664/65. On October 19, 1664, Richard Pace was granted 400 lbs of tobacco for killing two wolves.195 Richard Baker's name is also on the list of those paid for killing wolves on that date. By the first of February, 1664/1665, Richard Baker had died.196 Richard and Mary (Baker?) Pace had eight children: Sarah; George; John, who married Elizabeth Lowe; James; Thomas; Elizabeth; Ann; and Richard, Jr.197 In 1662, Richard Pace witnessed a bond transaction between John Barker and Thomas Drew.198 In 1664, he witnessed the transfer of property from James and Joane Wallace to Caesar Walpole.199 At the August 3, 1664, Court, Richard agreed to provide security for Thomas Tomlinson.200 On June 3, 1673, Hubert Farrell was granted an attachment against Richard Pace for 302 pounds of pork and 336 pounds of tobacco.201 The action was returned by the sheriff as the defendant was not in his county. On that same date, however, the record indicates that Richard Pace turned over to John Tane two cows, two iron pots, and one chair table.202 Bruce Howard thinks Richard Pace was in York County during 1673, as an escheat action in that county on April 4 lists Richard Pace as a juror.203 The point Howard makes is that this Richard must have owned land in order to serve on a jury. This seems to tie in well to the later land transaction in York County in which Elizabeth (Lowe) (Pace) Moore and her sons, William and John Pace leased land to John Corlew (see p. 75). Richard Pace died prior to February, 1678, approximately 48 years of age. His wife, Mary, was 38. One last land transaction on January 11, 1711, refers to the property Richard Pace, Sr. received from Richard Baker, and suggests Richard Pace, Jr., was then living on it.204 By 1680, Richard Pace, Sr' s, widow, Mary, had married a man named William Briscoe.205 He was in court representing Mary as the relict of Richard Pace on September 2,1680.206 This was apparently a disastrous marriage for Mary Pace. By 1684, she had left Briscoe in James City and returned to her plantation in Charles City County.207 In 1689, William Briscoe died, leaving his entire estate to Anne Holden, who was living with him, rather than to his wife, Mary (Baker?) (Pace) Briscoe. In 1689/1690, Mrs. Mary (Baker?) (Pace) Briscoe married Nicholas Whittmore and moved to his plantation.208 In 1692, Nicholas Whittmore represented Mary, his wife, again as relict of Richard Pace.209 By 1718, Nicholas had died intestate, and Mary relinquished her right to be named administratix of his estate to Richard Whittmore.210 She was about 78 years of age when Nicholas died. Mrs. Mary (Baker?) (Pace) (Briscoe) Whittmore died sometime after June, 1718.
George Pace and Mrs. Sara Maycock
George Pace was born about 1609, prior to his parents' emigration to the Virginia Colony from England. He is the only child of record of Richard Pace and Isabella Smythe. As noted earlier, in 1658, George's son, Richard Pace, signed a legal document verifying the validity of a property sale made by his father, George, in 1650.211 In spite of this document, which specifies his mother's name as Mrs. Sara Macocke, there has been considerable discussion as to the identity of this Sara. Based on the records found so far, the candidates seem to be Reverend Samuel Maycock's widow; Maycock's daughter, Sara, listed as one of the persons on the "List of the Living" as 2 years
37 of age in 1623; or some other woman named Sara, with an unknown birth surname, who is conjectured to have married a Macocke after the death of her first husband, George Pace. Howard makes a strong argument for the latter, and believes she married a Reverend William Macocke from the New England area who had earlier visited the Colony, left, and then returned.212 Until further records become available, the matter cannot be resolved. George Pace and Mrs. Sara Maycocke were the parents of six children: Richard, Sr., who married Mary (Baker?); Elizabeth; Thomas; George; William; and Steven. The earliest reference to George Pace is in a James City record confirming his ownership of 400 acres within that corporation known as Pace's Paines as son and heir apparent of Richard Pace, then deceased.213 This document is dated September 1,1628, and notes that his father was granted the acreage on December 5,1620, for his own transportation and for the transportation of six other people in 1621. The wording heir apparent suggests that George was not yet of age. The order seems to be an assurance to George that he would own this property when he did reach age 21, probably inl 630.214 George seems to have been an active and ambitious person, and began transporting additional persons and acquiring additional land in the new colony. In 1650, he received an additional 1700 acres in Charles City County on the south side of the James River for transporting 34 persons.215 This property is referred to as Matocks. Another possibility is that this actually refers to Maycock and may have been the property inherited by his wife, Sara Macocke. The granting of property rights often succeeded the dates of title transportation by several years. At any rate, by 1652, George is acquiring an additional 507 acres in Charles City County for transporting ten additional persons. His land ownership now totaled slightly more than 2,600 acres.216 Both George and Mrs. Sara (Maycocke) Pace died prior to June, 1655, when his son, Richard, requested William Baugh to serve as his guardian. They would have been relatively young, no older than 45 years of age.
The Immigrant Ancestor, Richard Pace and Isabella Smythe
An interesting outline of the ancestral heritage of Richard Pace, the immigrant, is proposed by J. Leigh Mathis-Downs:217
George Pace I: John "of Hampshire" Pace, b. 1455 Hampshire, England; Richard Pace I, b. 1483 Hampshire, England, d. 28 Jun 1536; John Pace II, b. 1520 in England; John Pace III, b. 1522 Leicestershire, England, d. 1590 in England, m. Margaret Colby, b. 1526 in Leicestershire, England [note conflicting birth years for father and son of 1520 and 1522]; Richard Pace I, b. 1583 Wapping Wall, Middlesex, England, d. 1 Sep 1627 Jamestown, Virginia.
Unfortunately, no sources are provided for this information. It may or may not have any connection to Richard Pace of Jamestown, and some of the data given in the entire segment is incorrect. Based on testimony in a London Court given by Isabella (Smythe) (Pace) Perry on August 26, 1629, in which she gave her age as 40, Isabella was born about 1589. That would have made her 19 years of age when she and Richard Pace were married in 1608. Richard was probably 4 or 5 years older than Isabella, making his birth year about 1585. A marriage record for a Richard Pace and an Isabella Smythe was located at St. Dunstan Parish, Stepney, in London, England. The date for the marriage is given as October 5, 1608.218 It is almost certain this entry in the parish records refers to the Richard Pace and Isabella Smythe who emigrated to the Virginia Colony. However, no ship record for them has yet been found. Judging by
38 the dates of later events recorded in the New World, their first child, a son they named George, was born in 1609 in England. No records of additional children have been found for this couple. Their marriage entry indicates that Richard Pace was a carpenter. Carpentry is an essential skill on ships made of wood and in erecting new communities made primarily of wood. Richard's occupation would have made him a highly desirable participant in the new venture. Smythe is the most common surname in the English language, but it is interesting to note that "The Second Charter of the Virginia Company of London," dated May 23,1609, includes the names of Thomas Knowls, Edmonde Smyth, Richard Smyth, William Powell, Gent. John Woodleefe, Gent. Vincent Lowe, Samuell Smithe, and The Campanie of Carpenters. It is possible these Smyths had some family connection to Isabella. Knowles, Powell, Woodlief, and Lowe are all names associated with Pace in the New World after Jamestown was founded. Richard Pace's claim to fame in the Virginia Colony is associated with Indian attacks on Jamestown and its outlying settlements in 1622. At least one-third of the settlers in Jamestown were killed, more than 300 persons. Although there is some disagreement as to the name of the Indian boy involved, the traditional account says that Jamestown was saved when an Indian boy named Chanco awoke Richard Pace in the middle of the night and warned him of a planned attack by the Powhatan Confederacy. Richard secured his family and then rowed across the river to Jamestown to warn the rest of the settlement. Jamestown was able to make some preparations that reduced the number of casualties there, but the outlying settlements received no warning. The attack occurred on Good Friday, March 22, 1622. It ruined whatever good relationships had developed between the indigent people and the settlers after the marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe in 1614.219 The first record of Richard Pace in the Virginia Colony that has been found mentions that he was forced to leave his land on the south side of the James River from James City because of Indian depredations In 1622, Richard submitted a request to the Virginia Company to permit him to return to his plantation. The land granted to Richard Pace became known as Paces Paines}20 It was located about 4 miles upstream from Jamestown on the opposite or south side of the James River, and is now located in Surry County. The original grant for this land was made on December 5, 1620.221 In addition to Richard's 100 acres, Isabella also received a grant of 100 acres, making a total of 200 acres together.222 Both Richard and Isabella were designated as Ancient Planters.223 By the laws of the new settlement, Ancient Planters were defined as anyone who migrated to the Plantation of Virginia before 1616, paid their passage, survived the Jamestown massacre of 1622, and survived for three years. They received the first land grants in Virginia.224 The names of Richard Pace and Isabella Pace appear on a list of those recognized by the Order of the Descendants of the Ancient Planters as of 2004. Therefore, Richard and Isabella Pace and their son, George, arrived in the Virginia Colony sometime between 1609 and 1616. The year 1611 has been proposed by some writers, based on information gathered about William Perry, who became Isabella's second husband. The land grants amounted to 100 acres for each personal adventure (one's own transportation) and 50 acres for each head right, or other person for whom passage was paid. These additional persons were often classified as indentured servants and had to serve the person paying their way by working for him or her for seven years. It is interesting to note that Isabella had her own grant. At that time, married women were not usually permitted to own land directly. However, the First Assembly of Burgesses in 1619 ruled that "it is prayed that it is plainly expressed" that there be shares for wives "because that in a new plantation it is not known whether man or woman be the most necessary."225
39 In the List of the Living made in February, 1623, and in the muster taken January 24, 1624, two hired men and their wives and six servants are listed at Paces Paines, but Richard, Isabella, and their son, George, do not appear on either list. Howard suggests their omission occurred because Richard himself was responsible for making the lists at his plantation, and he simply did not include himself or his family members.226 Shortly after the 1622 massacre, Richard Pace joined in a venture with William Powell, Hugh Crowther, William Perry, Thomas Garses?, and Richard Richards to clear a piece of land. A lawsuit was held May 30,1625, between William Powell's heirs and Captain Samuel Mathews who was then in possession of it. The Court record reports that Richard Pace acted as an overseer for Captain Powell in the original action and received 10 shares in the venture, and later was offered the ground by Powell. According to the testimony, Pace refused the offer. Since Richard was not called as a witness in this case, he must have died sometime before May of 1625, as had William Powell himself. The exact date of Richard Pace's death is unknown.lt appears likely that he died about 1624/1625, about 40 years of age. His death must have occurred before May 9, 1625, when his widow, Isabella, testified in court as Mistress Perry. After Richard Pace's death, his widow, Mrs. Isabella (Smythe) Pace married William Perry who owned land next to Richard Pace's plantation. Isabella was about 36 years of age when she became a widow with a child to raise and a plantation to manage. By this time, Richard's acreage had increased to 400 acres as a result of transporting in six persons. By law, this land would go to his heir, his son, George. Because George was not yet 21 years of age, he could not take over the property himself. Isabella became his guardian and also still owned her original 100 acres plus an additional 100 acres she had purchased from a patent granted to Francis Chapman.227 Women didn't remain unmarried for long in those early years. They needed a man to help manage their property and a woman with property was a highly-desirable marital object. William Perry lived on a plantation next to Paces Paines. He was not a farmer, but a tobacco merchant or factor. By the latter part of 1626, his wife had died, leaving a son named Henry, and William and Isabella had married. Two years later the document supporting George Pace's Royal Patent to his father's 400 acres was signed.228 By 1629, William Perry and John Smyth were serving as burgesses for Paces Paines in the General Assembly.229 A few years later, the Perrys and Isabella's son, George Pace, had sold their interests in Paces Paines and moved further into Charles City County. In September, 1633, William Perry was granted a large tract of land around Westover and Berkeley Hundred Plantation, where he and Isabella lived until his death on August 6, 1637. He was buried in the Westover churchyard near where he lived.230 Isabelle was then about 48 years of age. No further records from that time have been found for Mrs. Isabella (Smythe) (Pace) Perry. Any possible subsequent marriage and her date of death are not known. It seems highly unlikely, as some have claimed, that she was married a third time to a man named George Menefie.231

40 Alexander Ancestors
Samuel Alexander, Sr., and Sarah ? Samuel Alexander, Sr., was born about 1740 in Burke, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, to William Alexander and his cousin, Agnes Alexander. Sarah (surname unknown) was born about 1745, also in Burke, Mecklenberg County, North Carolina, to unknown parents. Samuel Alexander, Sr., and Sarah (surname unknown) were married about 1766 in Burke, Mecklenberg County, North Carolina. They were the parents of eight known children: Easter or Esther; Mary, who married Daniel Nichols; Sarah; Margret; James; Martha; Elizabeth; and Samuel, Jr. In addition to his will, the only information found about Samuel and Sarah Alexander are deeds in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The first, dated October 11, 1781232, records the receipt by Samuel Alexander of £60 from John and Margaret Dysart for 167 acres sold to them. Interestingly, this deed is witnessed by a Thomas Nickel [sic]. In the second deed, dated August 14, 1788, Sarah (surname unknown) Alexander receives £45 from Dennis Copeland for another 167 acres.233 Note is made that Sarah (surname unknown) Alexander is the widow of Samuel Alexander, so Samuel must have died sometime between January 20, 1784, and August 14, 1788. He was still a young man, probably about 46 years of age. Samuel Alexander, Sr., left a will in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, dated January 20, 1784, in which he names his wife, Sarah, and his children: Mary, Sarah; Esther; Margret; Martha; Elizabeth; and James.234 The last record for Sarah (surname unknown)Alexander in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, is in a deed entered by Andrew Alexander on March 28, 1789,235 in which the property description refers to "widow Nichols." Note that this deed also mentions a Benjamin Alexander and a William Alexander. Their relationship to Samuel Alexander, Sr., has not yet been determined. The next we hear of Sarah (surname unknown) Alexander is in Madison County, Kentucky, where she appears as a "widow Sarah Alexander" in late 1780/early 1790 tax records. In 1798, in Garard County, Kentucky, Sarah signed as mother of the bride for the marriage of Elizabeth Alexander to George Simpson The date and place of Sarah (surname unknown) Alexander's death are not known, but she would have been at least 53 years of age.
William Alexander, Sr., and Agnes Alexander William Alexander, Sr., was born about 1707 in Somerset County, Maryland, to Elias Alexander and Sophia Alexander. Agnes Alexander was born about 1705 in Maryland to William Alexander, Jr., and Catherine Wallace. William Alexander, Sr., and his cousin, Agnes Alexander, were married about 1727 in Maryland: They were the parents of at least four sons: Adam; William, Jr.; Samuel, Sr., who married Sarah (surname unknown); and Charles. Brown236 reports that:
William Alexander, son of Elias and Sophia Alexander and brother of Abraham and Ezra, was b. in Maryland and d. in Mecklenburg Co., NC, in 1772. He married his cousin, Agnes Alexander (daughter of William Alexander, Jr., and Catherine Wallace Alexander), who survived him. Maryland records indicate the William and Agnes Alexander lived for some years in Somerset Co., Maryland. Later—before joining the group migrating to No. Carolina—they were in Frederick County. As early as 1751 we find him in Anson Co.,NC (later Mecklenburg Co.) where he was known as a merchant and
41 farmer. From the Colonial Records of North Carolina, we learn that the Rev. Hugh McAden—on his missionary journey to the Mecklenburg Section—was a guest in home of William Alexander in Oct. 1755. In his will he mentioned only one child, Adam—whom he appointed Executor. It is known, however, that he had a son, Charles. He may also have had other children.
William Alexander, Sr., died in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1772, about age 65. His will was dated March 22, 1772, and proved April, 1772. It mentions only his wife, Agnes, and his son, Adam.237 Mrs. Agnes (Alexander) Alexander outlived her husband, but no record of her death has yet been located. She would have been at least 68 years of age.
Elias Alexander, Sr., and Sophia Alexander Elias Alexander, Sr., was born February 26,1679, in Somerset County, Maryland, to Andrew Alexander and an unknown spouse. Sophia Alexander was born about 1692 in Cecil County, Maryland, to Joseph Alexander and un unknown spouse. Elias Alexander, Sr., and Sophia Alexander were married about 1709 in Maryland. They were the parents of at least four sons: William, Sr., who married his cousin, Agnes Alexander; Abraham; Ezra; and Arthur. Brown238 reports that:
It is said that Sophia, daughter of Joseph Alexander, of Cecil County, Maryland, married Elias, son of Andrew Alexander of Somerset County. Many evidences point to the fact that this is true. Joseph Alexander, in his will, mentions "my son-in-law Elias Alexander," and it seems to be generally accepted that he married Sophia. That being the case, they—Elias and Sophia Alexander—were the parents of two Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (Abraham and Ezra Alexander) and the grandparents of two others (Adam and Charles Alexander). The dates of the birth and death of Sophia Alexander are unknown. The Somerset Register states that Elias was born 26 Feb 1679, and he died in Frederick County, Maryland, about 1750, leaving a second wife Ann (Taylor) and a number of children by whom Elias Alexander (Colonel Elias of Rutherford Co., No. Carolina) was one. William Alexander, b. in Somerset Co., Maryland, died 1772 in Mecklenburg Co., No. Carolina, was undoubtedly a son of Elias and Sophia Alexander, and a grandson of Joseph Alexander of Cecil County, Maryland. He was the father of Adam and Charles Alexander—Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. There seems to be no reason to doubt the fact that Abraham and Ezra Alexander, also Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, were sons of Elias and Sophia Alexander. This well- established tradition is supported by family relationships, as suggested in the Maryland records. They were also brothers of Arthur Alexander, whose will was filed in Mecklenburg County in 1763.
No record of the death of Mrs. Sophia (Alexander) Alexander has been located, but she apparently died fairly early. Elias Alexander, Sr., then married as his second wife, Ann Taylor, and they had at least one child, a son named Elias, Jr., who became a colonel in Rutherford County, North Carolina. As noted above, Elias Alexander, Sr., died about 1750 in Frederick County, Maryland, about age 71.
Andrew Alexander and ? Andrew Alexander is credited with being the father of Elias Alexander, Sr., but no additional information has been located about Andrew, his spouse, or his parents.
42 Joseph Alexander and ? Joseph Alexander is credited with being the father of Sophia Alexander, but no additional information has been located about Joseph, his spouse, or his parents. It is likely that a familial connection existed between Andrew Alexander and Joseph Alexander, but what that might be has not yet been determined.
William Alexander, Sr., and ? If there was a William Alexander, Jr., in Maryland who had a daughter named Agnes, who married a William Alexander, Sr., son of Elias Alexander, Sr., who moved to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, there must have been a William Alexander, Sr., in Maryland. This William Alexander, Sr., (b. abt. 1650 or earlier) or his father may have been the immigrant ancestor of the Alexander family line. Another mystery to be solved.
Archard Ancestors
No further information has been located about Mary Archard's ancestors.
Baker Ancestors
The Immigrant Ancestor, Richard Baker and Ann ? Richard and Ann (surname unknown) Baker may have been the parents of the Mary who married Richard Pace, Sr., of Charles City County, Virginia, about 1661. It is likely they had a second daughter named Elizabeth who married Francis Mallory of Prince George County, Virginia, about 1665. The first reference to Richard Baker is found in a deed dated September 26,1657, in Charles City County, Virginia, in an area divided to create Prince George County, in 1703.
Abstract. Deed. 26 Sep 1657. Patrick Jackson and Richard Baker sell James Ward 100 acs., part of 1500 acs. patterned by Mr. Richard Jones, Minister, "bounded as followeth: N upon the merchts [Merchants Hope] and running in Length along the heads of Thomas Wheelers land till it extent it selfe from the merchts land to the mark'd trees of Capt.

Signed Patrick Jackson, Richard x Baker. Wit: Richard x Colsyth. Rec 15 Feb 1659/60.239
This entry verifies that Richard Baker was born prior to 1636, perhaps in Virginia or in England prior to coming into the Virginia Colony. From 1662 to 1665, several legal records mention land on the Merchant River and other connections between Richard Baker and Richard Pace.

It is this gift of property from Richard Baker to Richard Pace that suggests a familial relationship may have existed between them, e.g., father-in-law or brother-in-law. Therefore, Richard Pace's wife was probably Mary Baker and not Mary Knowles, as some researchers have proposed.
Abstract. Deed of partition. 21 Jan 1664/65. Richd Baker and Patrick Johnson divide land patented jointly.

Richard Baker died just before February 1, 1664/1665, when his will was probated by his wife, Ann (surname unknown) Baker.251 He was probably about 50 years of age. It is not known when Mrs. Ann (surname unknown) Baker died, but she would have been more than 45 years old.
44 One last court record mentioning Richard Baker and Richard Pace appears in 1711.

William Barlow of Prince George Co., to John Wilkinson [or Wilkins?] of same, for Ls 20, grants to farm and letts. . .50 acres in Westover Parish, bounded biy Richard Raines plantation, a small bottom on north side of Richard Pace's house, being land deeded by Richard Baker to Pace, being land surveyed by Maj.

Bond Ancestors
William Bond and ? William Bond is supposed to have been born about 1701 in Powhatan County, Virginia, and died about 1779 at age 78. He is thought to have been the father of Clary Bond, who married Gabriel Loving, Sr. No other information is available about him.
Bradshaw Ancestors
The Immigrant Ancestor, Robert Bradshaw and Anne ? Robert Bradshaw was christened in St. James Parish, Garlickhithe, London, England, on November 1, 1622. His parents were probably George and Ann (surname unknown) Bradshaw, perhaps of Leicestershire. Anne (surname unknown) was born about 1637/1638 to unknown parents at an unknown place. A Robert Bradshaw was transported to James City County, Virginia, in 1640 by Thomas Harvey.253 It is uncertain when Robert Bradshaw married his wife, Ann (surname unknown). They were apparently the parents of only one living child: Ann Bradshaw who first married William Lambert. A Robert Bradshaw is shown as witness to statements of Nicholas Brown dated January 3, 1644/1645, one of the immigrants for which he is granted credit in 1651.254 Robert must have been at least 21 years of age in order to do so. By 1651, Robert Bradshaw was bringing several immigrants into the colony. Their names are given variously in two records:
p. 47, Kath. Brown, andNicho. Brown and wife; p. 221, Elinor Mathews; p. 254, Robt. Peirce; p. 289, Elizabeth Sanders; p. 295, Richard Sharpe; p. 312, Richard Steeven; all in 1651 by Robt. Bradshaw, Charles River Co.255 [7 persons.]
p. 220 - Robt. Bradshaw, 400 acs. Northumberland Co., 18 Oct 1651, p. 341. Abutting N. E. upon Mattapoiny Riv., & S. E. upon land of John Bennett. Trans, of 8 pers [sic]: Nicolas Brown, his wife, Kath. Browne, Robt. Peirce, Elizabeth Sanders, Ellinor Mathews, Richd. Steven, Richd. Sharpe.256
Additional references to Robert Bradshaw indicate his age at various times:
Bradshawe, Robert. Pat 400 a. in Mattapony Neck. 18 Oct 1651. 17.130. Aged 32 or th-abts. 6 Nov 1654. 14.60. Wit will of Nath Hickman. 26 Mar 1655. 14.98. Aged 34 or th-abts.257
On April 13,1652, both Robert and John Bradshaw signed the oath to the Commonwealth.258 On January 1,1653, Robert Bradshaw is shown as living in Northumberland County, Virginia, and selling a cow and calf to Thomas Wilsford.259
45 On May 20, 1653, Robert Bradshaw served on the jury hearing the Barnes/Aston case in Northumberland County.260 Virginia land records show Robert Bradshaw owning 400 acres in 1651 and 345 acres in 1653.261 It is unclear whether these references are to two different holdings of land or Robert had sold 55 acres by 1653. He was entitled to 350 acres for transporting the seven persons noted above.262 As noted above, Robert Bradshaw's older brother, John Bradshaw, also came to the Virginia Colony. Before 1655, John Bradshaw had married a woman named Temperance (surname unknown), then died between July 12,1655 andMarch23,1656, in Lancaster County. John and Temperance (no surname) Bradshaw apparently had no living children, and if no child was born to them, her bequest under John's will was to go to Robert Bradshaw's oldest child.263 On March 20,1655/1656, Robert Bradshaw agreed to deliver her bequest to Mrs. Temperance (surname unknown) Bradshaw and also agreed to pay one-half of the debts incurred in the names of John and Robert Bradshaw from 1640 to 1653.264 On January 28, 1656 [sic] land owned jointly by Robert and John Bradshaw is mentioned in a deed for 400 acres owned by Richard Rice.265 This may have some connection to the 400 acres mentioned in Robert Bradshaw's possession in 1651. Robert Bradshaw probably died in 1660, about 38 years of age. He left a will in Northumberland County, Virginia, but it is so badly torn that only the names of his wife, Ann, and his daughter, Ann, are legible.266 Additional land records after his death refer to the property of Robert Bradshaw:
James Claughton (Clayton), 345 acs. N'umberland Co., 18 Mar 1662, p. 312, (293). N.E. onMattapony Riv., Nly. upon Tanx Yeocomico Riv., N. W. upon land of Law. Dameron, S.E. upon land of Robt. Bradshaw (Bradshall). Granted to Robt. Bradshall 29 Nov 1657 & sold to Edw. Williams, who sold to sd Clayton.267

Williams, Edwd. Bought 345 acres from Robt Bradshaw. Sold it to James Claughton prior to 17 Feb 1679/80. 17.87.269
Williams, Edwd. Judgt to Richd Rice atty of said Williams who is heir to Temperance Bradshaw, deceased, and who brought action agtRobt Bradley who married Anne dau and heir of Robt Bradshaw deceased, for 345 acres, producing an obligation of Robert Bradshaw dated 22 Oct 1654 to deliver the land to Temperance Bradshaw. 15 Jun 1685. 4. 274.270
The meaning of these legal entries is somewhat obscure. It appears that John Bradshaw's wife, Temperance, married secondly a Williams, whether this was Edward Williams or Edward's father is unclear. Robert Bradshaw's daughter, Ann, married as her first husband, Robert Bradley, with whom she had three or four children, including Robert Bradley, Jr. Edward Williams then sued Robert Bradley as Ann Bradshaw's husband to get 345 acres Robert had promised to transfer to Mrs. Temperance Bradshaw in an earlier agreement dated October 22,1654. However, this seems to negate the terms of John Bradshaw's will that provided his property go to Robert's oldest child (Ann Bradshaw) if Temperance did not have living issue of John. The relationship between James Claughton or Clayton and Ann Bradshaw is unknown. Needless to say, the settlement of Robert Bradshaw's estate was a continuing source of conflict for several years after his death.
46 The remarriage and death records of Mrs. Ann (surname unknown) Bradshaw have not been located. By 1707, Mrs. Ann (Bradshaw) Bradley had married as her second husband, William Lambert, Sr., and they were involved in a new deed dated December 7, 1707, for land in Northumberland County granted to Robert Bradshaw in 1651 and left by him to his daughter, Ann, about 1660.271
Evans Ancestors
Very little information has been found about the possible ancestry of Mary Evans who married William Pace, Sr., about 1745 in Edgecombe or Franklin County, North Carolina.
Benjamin Evans, Jr., and Mary Kinchen Benjamin Evans, Jr., was born after 1695, probably in Prince George County, Virginia, to Benjamin Evans, Sr., and Faith (surname unknown). Mary Kinchen was born perhaps about 1700 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to William Kinchen, Sr., and Elizabeth Ruffin. Benjamin Evans, Jr., and Mary Kinchen had one known child, Mary Evans, who married William Pace, Sr. The only hard piece of possible evidence about Benjamin Evans, Jr., located so far is the will of a Benjamin Evans, Sr., found in Prince George County, Virginia:
Will of Benjamin Evans of Martin's Brandon Parish, Prince George Co., "sick and weak," To my son, Benjamin Evans. . .half my plantation in Weynoake Parish, Charles City Co, late in possession of John Wrey, but if he dies under age, then to be equally divided between my two daughter, Rebecca and Mary, and if James Lawrence is living at the time my son is of age, then my son is to have full use of my plantation in Charles City Co., now in possession of David Blanks and P'r (Peter) Johnson, during the lifetime of David Lawrence, and no longer. To my daughter, Rebecca. . .also that tract of land in Charles City Co, now in possession of David Blanks and Peter Johnson, and other half of land given to son Benjamin in Weynoake Parish. To daughter Mary. . .all my land in Prince George Co. To dear wife, Sarah Evans, one negro woman Jenny and the labor and remaining part of the service of Robert Dickson. Rest of estate to be divided between my wife and three children, and my wife to be executrix with my loving friend David Jones. 21 Apr 1711 Signed: Benjamin Evans Wit: Frances Clements, Richard Griffeth, Martha Marks. 11 Jun 1711, proved by Frances Clements and Martha Marks. Sarah Evans and David Jones granted probate.272
Note that the son, Benjamin Evans (Jr.), mentioned in this will was not yet of legal age when his father, Benjamin Evans (Sr.) made his will in 1711. Also, that Benjamin, Sr.'s, wife in 1711 was named Sarah and not Faith. Johnston reports that a Benjamin Evans, along with others, witnessed a land transaction between Francis Bettes and Alexander Randall in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, on May 1, 1742.273 Benjamin Evans, Jr., died in Franklin County, North Carolina, on November 19,1745, about 50 years of age. No information about Mrs. Mary (Kinchen) Evans death has been located, but she is assumed to have also died in Franklin County, North Carolina. It is perhaps through this marriage that the Kinchen name first entered the ancestral lines of the Paces.
47 Benjamin Evans, Sr., and Faith ? Benjamin Evans, Sr., was born in Blackwater, Prince George County, Virginia, about 1669 to unknown parents. Faith (surname unknown) is thought to have been born about 1674 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to unknown parents. Benjamin Evans, Sr., and Faith (surname unknown) were probably married about 1690, perhaps in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They may have been the parents of three children: Benjamin, Jr., who married Mary Kinchen; Rebecca; and Mary. Benjamin, Sr., had a wife named Sarah (surname unknown) at the time of his death. She may have been either the first or second wife of this Benjamin Evans, and the three children named in his will may have been hers. Other references located about Benjamin Evans in Prince George County, Virginia, refer to him as a witness to a Deed of Gift recorded April 18, 1693;274 a land entry in Blackwater dated 1702;275 and his ownership of 700 acres on the rent rolls for Prince George County in 1704.276 These entries are followed by the will of Benjamin Evans in 1711 (shown above) and one last entry dated in 1716 which may refer to Benjamin, Jr., rather than Benjamin, Sr., or to an entirely different person.277
Foster Ancestors
Robert Foster, Sr., and Elizabeth ? Robert Foster, Sr., is believed to be the son of Richard Foster and Mrs. Ann Bradshaw. No other children have been found for them. A suggestion was found that Elizabeth may have been the daughter of a Garnett. Robert Foster, Sr., is thought to have married a Sarah Biggs who was the mother of his first four children: Robert, Jr.; James; John; and Barbara, who married Richard Loving. After Sarah (Biggs) Foster's death, Robert, Sr., married as his second wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown), about 1681. Robert and Elizabeth were the parents of at least six and possibly seven additional children: Richard, about whom there is some question; George; Thomas; William; Margaret; Elizabeth; and Anthony. There is a pattent dated August 14, 1672, for 2,100 acres in Northampton County, Virginia, in the names of Col. John Stringer, George Brighouse, and Robert Foster located on the seaboard side of Foster's Neck.278 On a deed dated February 6,1713/1714, and recorded February 11, 1713/1714, Robert Foster appears as a witness in St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, Virginia. The deed records a transfer of 50 acres from John Ridgdaill to John Foster, planter.279 On those same dates, a deed transferring 100 acres to Robert Foster from John Butler was recorded to which John Foster was one of the witnesses.280 There is a will recorded for Robert Foster of St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, Virginia, dated January 6, 1715/1716, and recorded February 22, 1715/1716.281 Robert Foster's widow, Elizabeth, and his two oldest sons, Robert, Jr., And James, are named as executors. This will mentions eleven children: Robert, Jr.; James; John; Barbara Loveing, who married Richard Loving; George; Thomas; William; Richard; and three youngest children Margaret; Elizabeth; and Anthony. Witnesses were Anto. Samuell, John Foster, and Thomas Garnett. It also mentions Barbara's husband and her son, Richard Loving. Barbara Loving may be Robert Foster's daughter who married a Richard Loving; and the "my son, Richard," may refer to his son-in-law rather than an actual son.
48 There is a suggestion that Robert, Sr.'s, widow may have been Elizabeth Garnett.The witnessing of the will by a Thomas Garnett lends some credence to this possibility, and Robert, Sr. 's, father, Richard, married as his second wife, a Susannah Garnett.282 On February 22,1715/1716, the three executors of Robert Foster, Sr.'s will posted a bond of £500 sterling with the Court.283 The only other relevant source of information found thus far is a reference to Robert, Sr.'s, son, Anthony in the Spotsylvania County, Virginia, records.284
Hardy285 Ancestors
No additional information has been located about potential ancestors for Ann Hardy, proposed wife of John Nichols, and possible parent of Daniel Nichols, who married Mary Alexander. Her connection to the Hardy family members discussed below is unknown. Extensive research and writing has been carried out on the Hardy line of Isle of Wight and Surry Counties in Virginia, much of it conflicting. Several Internet sources have been examined thus far, including The Families of John Hardy Sr andjr (revised 10/28/2001); Hardy Documentation (updated 12/'1972004); Descendants of John De Hardy of England in America (about 2006); and The Hardy Family of Virginia (8/20/2007 Hardy family members seem to have held positions of some esteem in Isle of Wight and Surry Counties in Virginia, including ownership of the Hardy Mill. However, it will take some effort to bring reliable order to the various bits of information collected in the sources mentioned above and others which may be located. The following information appears as accurate as can be determined without adequate references and further research.
John Hardy, Jr., and Alice Bennett John Hardy, Jr., was born June 9, 1637, in Bedfordshire, England, to John Hardy, Sr., and Olive Council. Alice Bennett was born about 1638, probably at Lawn's Creek, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Thomas Bennett and his wife, Mrs. Alice (surname unknown) Pierce. John Hardy, Jr., and Mrs. Alice (Bennett) Johnson were married about 1658 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were the parents of five daughters: Olive; Lucy, who married Hodges Council, Sr.; Ann; Isabel, who married William Mayo, Sr.; and Deborah, who married Bridgeman Joyner. The major source of information about this ancestor is his will dated October 7, 167?, and proved June 9, 1677:286
Will of John Hardy of the lower parish in the Isle of Wight co., in Va: Dau. Olive Driver, wife of Giles Driver, dau. Lucy Council, wife of Hodges Councill, dau. Deborah Hardy; gr. child Hardy Driver, dau of Giles D., Olive Driver's two children, Lucy Councill's 3 children, wife's grand child John Johnson; wife Alice Hardy, son-in-law Robert Burnett; to William Mayo all my silver clasps to breeches and shirt. Dated 7 Oct 167-; proved 9 June 1677.
No death records have been located for John Hardy, Jr., and his wife, Mrs. Alice (Bennett) (Johnson) Hardy, but both probably died in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. John Hardy, Jr., was about 49 years of age. His wife outlived him and was named executrix of his estate.287 No record of a third marriage for her has been located. There is a will record in Isle of Wight County for Ralph Jones dated March 26, 1665, which gives his entire estate to John Hardy. It is unclear at this time whether this refers to John Hardy, Jr., or to his father, John Hardy, Sr.288
49 John Hardy, Sr., and Olive Council John Hardy, Sr., was born about 1613 in Wetwang, East Riding, Yorkshire, England, perhaps to Richard Hardy and Alice Wilson. Olive Council was born about 1615, probably in England, to George Council and Evelyn Dulverton.289 John Hardy, Sr., and Olive Council were married about 1632, perhaps in Currville, Isle of Wight County, Virginia.290 They were the parents of five children: Olive; George; Thomas; John, Jr., who married Alice Bennett; and Richard. John Hardy apparently received a grant of land for 1,150 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, in 1666. It is uncertain whether this refers to John Hardy, Sr., or John Hardy, Jr. It is suggested in the available Internet records that John Hardy, Sr., and Mrs. Olive (Council) Hardy died sometime after 1670 in Surry County, Virginia, but no source is given and no record of their deaths has yet been found.
Richard Hardy, Sr., and Alice Wilson Richard Hardy Sr., is said to have been born about 1577 in Wetwang, East Riding, Yorkshire, England to John Hardy and Mary Margaret Newton. Alice Wilson is said to have been born Jan 12, 1588, in Shillington, Bedfordshire, England, to Robert Wilson and an unknown wife.291 Richard Hardy, Sr., and Alice Wilson were married about 1602 in Yorkshire, England. They were the parents of as many as eight children: Richard, Jr.; Alice Elizabeth; George; Mary; John, Sr., who married Olive Council; Jacquette; and Michael.292 Richard Hardy, Sr., is said to have died in 1645 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, but no source is given, and none has been located. Richard, Sr., would have been about 68 years of age.293 The same record states that Mrs. Alice (Wilson) Hardy died about 1658 in Bedfordshire, England, with no source given, while another says she died in Virginia, which seems more likely. There is much confusion about this family's connections in England to Bedfordshire and Yorkshire. Further research with adequate source citation is badly needed.
Jewry294 Ancestors
Very little information has been located about this ancestral line. The only reference to it found thus far is in a will abstract in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.
William Jewry and ? William Jewry is thought to have been born about 1598 in England.295 A will for William Jewry of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, dated June 1, 1651, names Elizabeth Penny, daughter of Richard Penny, Robert Ruffin, son of William Ruffin, and John Aran (Jr.), son of John Arran. The will is witnessed by Richard Penny, William Ruffin, and William Westway.296 Although no specific family relationships are mentioned in this will abstract, if it follows the usual format of the times, it seems likely that Elizabeth Penny, Robert Ruffin, and John Aran (Jr.) are grandchildren to William Jewry, and Richard Penny, William Ruffin, and John Aran (Sr.) are his sons-in-law. William Ruffin would therefore have married an unnamed daughter of William Jewry.
50 Kinchen297 Ancestors
This is another ancestral line that needs more research. It applies only if the Mary Evans who married William Pace, Sr., was actually the daughter of Mary Kinchen and granddaughter of William Kinchen, Sr., and Elizabeth Ruffin. This has not been proved.
William Kinchen, Sr., and Elizabeth Ruffin William Kinchen, Sr., was born about 1673, probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to unknown parents. Elizabeth Ruffin was born about 1680 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Robert Ruffin, Sr., and his wife, Elizabeth (Prime) (Watkins) Ruffin. William Kinchen, Sr., and Elizabeth Ruffin were married about 1698 probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were perhaps the parents of seven children. Mary, who married Benjamin Evans, is not mentioned in William Kinchen's will nor in the will of his son, Matthew. Matthew; William, Jr.; Elizabeth; Martha; Patience; Sarah; are all mentioned in the will of William Kinchen dated August 13, 1784. Boddie298 summarized the life of William Kinchen as follows:
William Kinchen was residing in Isle of Wight County, Virginia before 1700. He patented 170 acres in that county in 1702.299He also patenented 100 acres in 1715, another 100 acres in 1714,300and 140 acres in 1726. He was a member of the vestry of the old brick church near Smithfield from 1724 to his death.301 He was sheriff of Isle of Wight county in 1729 (Va. Mag. 34, p. 201).302He was also a Justice of Peace in the County,303 as William Byrd, when he as surveying the line between Carolina and Virginia, stayed at William Kinchen's home, and spoke of him as a worthy magistrate living in much affluence. William Kinchen married Elizabeth Ruffin, daughter of Robert Ruffin of Surry County. He made his will 13 Aug 1734 and the same was probated 28 Jul 1735. After his death his wife married Richard Cocke of Surry (Va. Mag. 5, p. 73) He may have married twice as he is said to have married Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Joyner. (See Chapman's I of W Marriages.) His children were Matthew, William, Elizabeth, Martha, Patience and Sarah. Matthew died unmarried [sic] about 1737. He made his will and several legacies left all the rest of his goods and chattels to his brother, William Kinchen and his sister, Elizabeth, Martha, Patience, and to his brother-in-law, James Godwin's three children, James, Martha, and Matthew. (Barton's Col. Decision, Godwin v. Kinchen in chancery, April 1737—Tylers Q. Jul 1919, p. 67) (Sources in bold added to substantiate Boddie's statements.)
William Kinchen was listed in the militia in Isle of Wight County, Virginia on March 10, 1701/1702,304 and Boddie reports that he signed an address of loyalty to Queen Anne as Cornet in the militia in 1702.305 William Kinchen's name appears on a number of will records in Isle of Wight County from 1713 to 1724,306 as well as deed records.307 William Kinchin died between August 13, 1734, when he signed his will in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and July 28, 1735, when it was recorded. He was about 62 years of age. Will of William Kinchen:308

Teste: James Baker.
Mrs. Elizabeth (Ruffin) Kinchen survived her husband, and is said to have married Richard Cocke, Sr., by whom she had four children: Anne; Richard, Jr.; Lucy; Nathaniel; and John. If the dates associated with these people are anywhere near correct, this seems unlikely, as Elizabeth would have been in her mid-fifties by the time she is said to have married Richard, Cocke, Sr. The date and place of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth (Ruffin) (Kinchin) Cocke are unknown, and no evidence has been found to support a second marriage for William Kinchin, Sr., to Elizabeth Joyner.
Lambert Ancestors
William Lambert, Sr., and Martha ? William Lambert was born June 15,1720, at North Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia, to Hugh Lambert, Sr., and Anne Morgan.309 Martha (surname unknown) was born about 1724, probably in Virginia.
52 William Lambert, Sr., and Martha (surname unknown) were married about 1740, probably in Virginia. They were the parents of five children: John; William, Jr.; Mary Ann; James; and probably, Ruth, who married William Pace, Jr. An extensive record of land transactions and other court documents trace William Lambert, Sr.'s movements from Richmond County, Virginia, to Franklin County, North Carolina. On November 4, 1758, William, received title to approximately 30 acres of land in Richmond County, Virginia, from his father, Hugh Lambert, apparently because Hugh had decided to move south to Brunswick County.310 William, Sr., is mentioned in his father's will dated November 18,1764, and proved June 24, 1765 in Brunswick County, Virginia.311 In 1746, Lunenburg County was created from Brunswick County, and then in 1765, Mecklenburg County was created from Lunenburg County. Several references mention land owned by William Lambert, Sr., between 1764 and 1773, in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, while he also still appears on the Rent Roles of Richmond County in 1766 and 1768.312 By 1772, William Lambert, Sr., has purchased land in Wake County, North Carolina, and his name is first mentioned in connection with that of William Pace.313 On 1773 and 1774, William and Martha Lambert sell their property in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, to William Fox and James Blanton:
Nov 11, 1773 from William Lambert and Martha, his wife, of Wake County, North Carolina, to William Fox of M. for 25 pds, the plantation & land whereon Cornelius Matthis now lives, containing 132 acres in M, and bounded by William Fox, James Blanton, James Lambert, Joseph Lambert, William Lambert. Signed - William (X, his mark) Lambert. Wit - James Blanton, Austin Wright, Harvis (X his mark) Lambert. Sd Martha relinquished her right of dower. Recorded Aug 11, 1777.314 Nov 17, 1774 from William Lambert of Wake County, North Carolina, to James Blanton of M, for 50 pds, 400 acres in M on Floyds Long Branch of Roanoke [River], and bounded by John Lambert, King, James McKinney, Fox. Signed - William (X his mark) Lambert. Wit - Ben Terrell, Lewis Parham, Noah Dortch, Nathl. Moss, John (X his mark) Cleaton. Recorded Apr 10, 1775. At a Court held for M. on Aug 11,1777, Martha, the wife of the within named William Lambert personally appeared in court and relinquished her right of dower.315
In December 1775, William Lambert sells his remaining property in Richmond County, Virginia, and begins his total transfer to North Carolina.
(on margin: Lambert's Deed to Smith) This indenture made this 11th day of December. . .1775 between William Lambert of Parish of North Farnham and County of Richmond of one part and John Smith, Gt., of same Parish and County of other part;. . .that William Lambert in consideration of sum of Twenty one pounds, seventeen shillings and eight pence halfpenny current money of Virginia to him in hand paid biy John Smith, the receipt whereof William Lambert doth hereby acknowledge, hath and by these presents doth bargain and sell unto John Smith his heirs all that parcel of land situate in Parish of North farnham and County of Richmond being part of a tract of land conveyed and made over unto William Lambert by Hugh Lambert his Father by Indenture bearing date the 4th of Nov 1758, recorded among the records of Richmond County, and bounded, Beginning at a Chesnut, corner of Robert Hammock's land thence along Hammock's line No. 3Id. E. 76 pole to a small Cedar standing on the mouth of a Lane at the Main Road, thence down the Road N. 82d.

Signed sealed and acknowledged in presents of William Smith, John Saunders, Christopher Brown, Zach Efford, and Eliza. Herrington. Signed by William Lambert. At a Court held 4 Mar 1776, this deed was acknowledged in open Court by the said Lambert and admitted to Record. Test LeRoy Peachey, D. C.316
53 In 1778, a final entry in Brunswick County, Virginia, mentions a final transfer of land ownership from William Lambert to George Trotter and his wife.317 Land entries for William Lambert, Sr., now begin appearing in the Wake County, North Carolina records:
March 6th 1778 William Lambert Entered Six hundred Six Hundred [sic] of Vacant Land in Wake county (NC) Joining the Lands of William Pace & Elisha Strickland including his two Improvements. 600 50/. Also, Warrt Issd, p. 153, SG #656, GB29:176 - W - March 6, 1778; G - Aug 9, 1779, NC (grantor); William Lambert (grantee); 600 a. Moccasin & Branches of Crooked Creek.318 March 6th 1778 William Lambert Entered Three [Note: this is written above the original "Six"] hundred acres of Vacant Land in Wake County Joining William Pace's & Benjamin Upchurch's Lands including the Improvement where he now Lives 300/50.

These entries are the first mention found in the records that tie William Lambert to William Pace. The histories of Wake County, Bute County, and Franklin County, North Carolina are intertwined in such a way as to make it difficult to follow the location of a given piece of property in any of these three counties.320 Numerous references to land owned by William Lambert are found in all three counties, as noted below (emphases added):

The historical records of the Poplar Springs Baptist Church333 in North Carolina contain the name of William Lambert in three entries:

The firstinclude s William himself, two other males (one over and one under age 16), and two white females.336 The second includes William himself, four white males under age 16, and 2 white females.337 It seems likely that these references are to a son and grandson, rather than William, Sr.

William Lambert, Sr., died about 1798 in Franklin County, North Carolina, at about 78 years of age. His wife, Mrs. Martha (surname unknown) Lambert, was taxed in 1799 and again in 1804 for the 132 acres she still owned.349 No record of her death has been located, but she would have been at least 80 years of age.
Hugh Lambert, Sr., and Ann Morgan Hugh Lambert, Sr., was born about 1693 to William Lambert, Sr., and Mrs. Anne (Bradshaw) (Bradley) Lambert at North Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia. Scott says that Hugh, Sr., was born in 1687 in Northamberland County, Virginia, but this seems unlikely based on his father's birth record.350 Ann Morgan was born about 1692, also at North Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia, to William Morgan and his wife Ann (surname unknown).351 Hugh Lambert, Sr., and Ann Morgan were married about 1712 probably at North Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia. They were the parents of nine known children: Ann; Richard; Hugh, Jr.; William, Sr., who married Martha (surname unknown); John; Lewis, Sr.; Thomas; Lorana; and Matilda/52 Hugh Lambert, Sr., is first mentioned in his father's will dated January 9, 1715/1716. Since Hugh is granted partial ownership of William Lambert's plantation and is made executor of his estate, Hugh must have been at least 21 years of age. In addition, William's younger children, William, John, and Elizabeth, are to live with Hugh until they reach age 17.353 Hugh had married and fathered two children himself by that time. The next record in Richmond County, Virginia, naming Hugh Lambert, Sr., is an agreement with the county court jointly signed by Ann Loyd and dated December 4,1717, bonding £50 to ensure proper settlement of the estate of Joshua Lawson.354 On February 4, 1723/1724, Hugh Lambert, Sr., and his brother, John Lambert, signed an indenture transferring 75 acres of land previously owned by their father, William Lambert, Sr., to Thomas Nash for 2500 pounds of tobacco.355
56 Hugh Lambert, Sr., must have been a well-known and respected member of his community. He was responsible, along with others, to ensure that at least three under-age heirs received their inheritances when they came of age.356 In 1729, Hugh Lambert acquired 699 acres in Faquier County, Virginia.357 Hugh Lambert, Sr., is found on the rent roll for Prince William County, Virginia, in 1738, and may also be found later in Fauquier County, Virginia, which was formed from Prince William County in 1759.358 Hugh Lambert, Sr., also appears on the rent rolls for Richmond County, Virginia, in 1744 andl746.359 The deed books of Richmond County, Virginia, reveal the following transactions involving Hugh Lambert, Sr.:

Sep. 4-6, 1740 from Edward Spencer and Elizabeth, his wife, of the County of Orange and Parish of St Marks, to Hugh Lambert (Lambart) of R and NF, for 5000 pounds of crop tobacco, all that tract of land in NF, in the tenure of said Hugh Lambert, containing about 100 acres bounded by near the lines of Robert Clarke (Clark) and John Crawley where their lines meet, secretaryi John Carter, the outward bounds of Clark's patent, the line of William Morgan (Morgin) dec'd.

Signed - William Lambert. Wit - W Hartly (Hartley), Robert ® his mark) Hamack, David (( his mark) Morgan. Recorded Aug 3, 1741.361
Mrs. Ann (Morgan) Lambert died sometime between March 14,1743,andNovember7,1743, when her will was proved in Richmond County, Virginia.362 She would have been about 51 years of age. There is record on April 6, 1746, of the sale of 100 acres of land in Richmond County, Virginia, by Hugh Lambert, Sr., and his wife, Ann, to William Garland, Jr.363 This sale was recorded after Anne (Morgan) Lambert's death. Sometime between Mrs. Anne (Morgan) Lambert's death in 1743, and October 13, 1752, Hugh Lambert married as his second wife, Elizabeth (surname and previous married name unknown). On October 13, 1752, Hugh Lambert, Sr., and his second wife, Elizabeth, transferred 200 acres of land in Brunswick County, Virginia, to Hugh's son, Richard Lambert.364 It seems likely that Hugh Lambert, Sr., made the decision to move south to Brunswick County, Virginia, after Ann (Morgan) Lambert's death. Land records in Brunswick County in Hugh's name begin to appear in 1748.

Possible Original Immigrant, William Lambert, Sr., and Anne Bradshaw William Lambert, Sr., was born about 1660377 to unknown parents, perhaps in Richmond County, Virginia, but probably in England. There are fivePassenge r and Immigration List entries for
58 a William Lambert before 1677 indicating origin in England and arrival in Virginia, one showing arrival before 1663.378 A William Lambert appears in Charles City County, Virginia, as 18 years of age on June 4, 1677, making his birth year about 1659. Charles City County is some distance from Richmond County, where pertinent records about William Lambert are found, so it seems unlikely, but not impossible, these are the same individual.379 Anne Bradshaw was bom between 1660 and 1665 in Northumberland County, Virginia, to Robert Bradshaw and his wife, Anne (surname unknown).380 William Lambert, Sr., married as his only known wife, Anne (Bradshaw) Bradley, the widow of Robert Bradley, Sr.381 Robert, Sr., and Anne Bradshaw were married July 15, 1685, in Northumberland County, Virginia. They were the parents of four children: James; Robert, Jr.; Elizabeth; and John. William Lambert, Sr., and Anne (Bradshaw) Bradley were married about 1691 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Northumberland County lies next to Richmond County. They were the parents of six children: Hugh, Sr., who married Anne Morgan; Mary; Anne Ellinor; John, Sr.; Elizabeth; and William, Jr.382 William Lambert's name begins appearing in the Richmond County, Virginia, records in 1692.

Loving400 Ancestors
Thomas Loving and Polly/Mary Stroop401 Thomas Loving was born about 1746 at Powhatan County, Virginia, to Gabriel Loving and Clary Bond. He married three times. First, about 1772, to Polly or Mary Stroop. Polly was born about 1755 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, perhaps to Edmond Stroop and an unknown mother. Polly (Stroop) Loving was the mother of Thomas's first seven children: Edmund; James Monroe; Judy; Mary Ann, who married James Pace; Gabriel; John; and Sarah. Polly died about 1788, perhaps from problems associated with the birth of her last son. She was very young, but at least 33 years of age. Thomas married second about 1792, to Mrs. Rosamund (surname unknown) Willis or Wilkes, who was the mother of two additional sons, Richard and Elijah. Rosamund (surname unknown) (Wilkes) Loving died about 1817, probably in Clark County, Georgia. Thomas's third marriage was to Nancy (surname unknown) McCartney of Clark County, Georgia.402 No children were born to Nancy because of her advanced age. Mendoza403 provides the following information about Thomas Loving:
Thomas Low(vv)orn (Loving) was born in 1750. Around 1771, probably in Pittsylvania County, he married Polly Stroup (Stroop) who was the mother of James, Edmund, Gabriel and John. In 1772, the family resided in Pittsylvania County. Thomas received a North Carolina Land grant in 1779. In 1785, he bought land adjacent to his grant. This land was within a mile of the Virginia State line. After Polly's death, Thomas married Rosmand (last name unknown). Richard and Elijah were her sons. In 1818, Thomas married Nancy McCartney of Clark County, GA. Thomas was also the father of 3 daughters, Judy and Sally (don't have the third one listed). Thomas died in St. Clair County, Alabama 13 Feb 1827. Edmund Loworn had descendants who moved to Winston County, Mississippi and to Arkansas. Gabriel moved to Marion County in 1830. John moved in 1810 to Rutherford County, Tennessee.
Powell404 adds additional detail:
Thomas Loving b. 1746 and d. 1827; father Gabriel Loving, Sr. b. 1721 in Powhatan Co., Virginia; his mother was Clary Bond, b. 1727 in Powhatan Co., Virginia; He married (1) Polly Stroup and they had Edmond Loving, b 11 Oct 1773, James Loving b. abt 1775, Judy Loving b. abt 1777, Mary Ann Loving, b abt 1779, John Loving, b. 1785, and Sally Loving b. 1787.
Copp405 reports that Thomas Loving died Februaryl 3,1827, in Ashville, St. Claire, Alabama. Others question the likelihood of this place of death. If the date of death is correct, Thomas would have been about 81 years of age when he died. There are references to a Thomas Loving in the Surry County, North Carolina Census of 1786, the Caroline County, Virginia, Census of 1810 and of 1820, and the Clark County, Georgia, Census of 1820.406
61 Gabriel Loving, Sr., and Clary Bond Gabriel Loving, Sr., was born about 1725 in Powhatan County, Virginia. His parents have been shown as James Loving and Mary Blackburn and as Richard Loving and Barbara Foster. The source support for either set of parents is negligible. Clary Bond was born about 1727 in Powhatan County, Virginia, to William Bond and an unknown mother. Gabriel Loving, Sr., and Clary Bond were married about 1745, also in Powhatan County, Virginia. They were the parents of twelve children: Thomas, who married Polly Stroop; Gabriel, Jr; Elizabeth; Presley; James; William; Anne; Hannah; Mary; Abigail; Parmelia; and John.407 Mrs. Clary (Bond) Loving died about 1779, probably in Powhatan County, Virginia. She would have been about 52 years of age. Shortly after her death, Gabriel Loving, Sr., moved his family to North Carolina. The name of Gabriel Loving appears twice on the tax list of Wilkes County, North Carolina in 1782. His son, Gabriel, Jr., was of age by then, and the two listings could refer to father and son.408 In the 1790 U. S. Census, Gabriel Loving is listed in Wilkes County, North Carolina, as having three white males and seven white females in his household.409 This presents a problem. The 1790 Census was taken on the first Monday in August. However, Gabriel Loving, Sr.'s, death date is given as June 25, 1790.410 reconcile. It is possible and, perhaps, probable that the census record is for Gabriel, Jr., rather than for his father. If Gabriel Loving, Sr., did die in 1790, he was about 65 years of age.
James Loving and Mary Blackburn There is no source information available to support any of the following content for James Loving and Mary Blackburn. James Loving married Mary Blackburn, daughter of Christopher Blackburn and his wife, Katherine in 1699. James and Mary (Blackburn) Loving are said to have had three children: Mary Isham Loving; Thomas Loving born in 1700; John Loving born in 1705 in Virginia; and Gabriel Loving bom in 1725 in Powhatan County, Virginia. This record also gives the following information for Gabriel Loving's brother, John Loving, who was born in 1705 in Virginia and died in 1769 in Amelia County, Virginia. John's parents are supposed to have been James Loving and Sarah (surname unknown). If these two records are accurate, the twenty years separating the births of John and Gabriel suggest James married twice.
Richard Loving, Sr., and Barbara Foster The only source information supporting the existence of Richard Loving, Sr., is the mention made in the will of Robert Foster of St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, Virginia, that bequeaths to "Barbary [sic] Loveing one shilling and to her son Richard Loveing one heigher with Calve named Rosbery." This suggests that Barbary (Barbara) was Robert Foster's daughter who married a Loving and had a son named Richard. Robert Foster also bequeaths to "her (Barbary's) husband all he is indebted to me."411 Later, he mentions his "son," Richard. It was not unusual in those days to refer to the husband of a daughter as "son." It is possible that Barbara Foster married a Richard Loving, and they had a son, Richard, Jr. Information from Mrs. Lucy Flint conveyed by telephone suggests that a Richard Loving, Sr., was born about 1683 and Barbara Foster about 1681, both in Gloucester County, Virginia. Their marriage may have occurred as early as 1706 in Gloucester County, and three children have been attached to them: Richard, Jr.; James412; and Gabriel, who married Clary Bond.
62 Records at Familysearch.org give conflicting information about persons named Richard Loving that may provide helpful clues to extending research on this ancestral line.413
Charles Loving and Jennie Ross The information in this section was also communicated primarily by telephone from Mrs. Lucy Flint. Charles Loving, bom about 1640 at Jamestown, James City County, Virginia, married Jennie Ross, born about 1642 in James City County, Virginia, in 1673. Charles and Jennie (Ross) Loving had at least three children: James; John; and Richard, who perhaps married Barbara Foster. Only one other reference has been found to date about a Charles Loving.414 It refers to land granted to Charles Loving in New Kent County on March 29, 1666, that was deserted by him, and then granted to William Wilson on October 7, 1698. Two variations of Charles Loving's parents have been proposed. The first is Sir Thomas Loving and Lady Elizabeth Kingston of Norfolk County, England. The second is Thomas Loving and Elizabeth Kinston of Kensington, Middlesex County, England. No source for either has been located.
The Immigrant Ancestor, Thomas Loving and Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Kingston Conflicting information about Charles Loving's parents has been found. None of it was backed up by reliable original source material. One proposal is that his parents were Sir Thomas Loving, born about 1610, and Lady Elizabeth Kingston, born about 1612, of Norfolk County, England. They were the parents of at least three children: Charles Loving, born about 1640; Francis Loving, born about 1642; and Ann Loving, born about 1644, all in Virginia. The second proposes that Charles Loveing's parents were Thomas Lovering, born about 1608, in Kensington, Middlesex, England, and Elizabeth Ann Kinston. They are said to have married in 1639 in Jamestown, Virginia. The following specific source material was found that mentions a Thomas Loving:

A significant amount of information about Thomas Loving is contained in a family record written by Edward Thruston:430
After the death of John Thruston, the chamberlain, the book came to the hands of his son, Dr. Edward Thruston. In the Norfolk county records there is a power of attorney from "Edward Thruston, of Long Ashton, in the county of Somersett, Chyrurgeon," to Walter Bayley of Long Ashton aforesaid, shipwright, to dispose of his interest by courtesy in "the plantation at Martin's Hundred in James River, which I hold by right of my former wife, Anne, the daughter of Mr. Thomas Loveing of Martin's Hundred, merchant, now deceased." .. .1 was married to Anne Loveing daughter of Thomas Loveing merchant the 28th day of Octob, 1666, at Martins hundred in Virginia. My daughter Thomasina was Borne the 28th of November 1670 and dyed the 5th of December following. ... I married my second wife (Susanna Perry) the daughter of Mr. Nicholas Perry lawyer) the third day of Sept 1671 at the Parish Church of St. Thomas by Mr. Humphrey Brent minister. Mr. Nicholas Perry lived at Great Marlow in ye County of Bucks (second wife died 2 Aug 1683 and buried in Parish Church at Ashton.). Thomas Loveing was a prominent settler, and in 1639 he is reported as having married the widow of Thomas Kingston, factor for Thomas Covell, of London, merchant. In 1657-58 he was a burgess from James City. Appointed Surveyor- General of Virginia, and died before 1665, when he was succeeded in that office by Edmund Scarburgh.431 (Note: Nicholas Perry was the son of William Perry and Isabella (Smyth) (Pace) Perry, the wife of Richard Pace of Pace's Paines.)
All of these references point to Thomas and Elizabeth Ann (surname unknown) (Kingston) Loving as the parents of Charles Loving. The date and place of death for Elizabeth Ann (Kingston) Loving are unknown. Thomas Loving died, probably at James City County, Virginia, the winter of 1664/1665. He would have been about 57 years of age.
Lowe Ancestors Information about the Lowe ancestors is sparse and unclear and shows up in several Virginia and North Carolina counties.
William Lowe, Sr., and Ann Ledbetter William Lowe, Sr., was born after 1642/1643, but before 1663 in Prince George County, Virginia, to Thomas Lowe and a Miss Wilson.432 Ann Ledbetter was probably born before or about 1663 in Chowan County, North Carolina, perhaps to William Ledbetter and his unknown spouse. William Lowe, Sr., and Ann Ledbetter were probably married before 1673, and had four known children: Elizabeth, who probably married John Pace, Sr.; John; Christiana; and William, Jr.
64 The first reference to William Lowe that has been located is an abstract dated February 25, 1663/1664, of an agreement between John Wilson, Sr., of Appomatox County, Virginia, and his son- in-law, Thomas Lowe, describing a gift of cattle to be held for William Lowe until he reaches the age of majority. William is the son of Thomas Lowe.433 Two entries related to land ownership by William Lowe are found in 1696 in Charles City County, Virginia, and 1704 in Prince George County, Virginia.434 Based on the will abstract for William Lowe found in Chowan County, North Carolina, the 1584 acres of land in Prince George County, Virginia, definitely belongs to the same William Lowe. The entry in Charles City County, Virginia, is more problematic. The following deed shows that William Lowe was in Chowan County by 1718, and sold property on January 1720/1721:
William Low of Albemarle Co. to Emanuel Rogers of the same Co., carpenter 19 Jan 1720 [sic]. 20 pds current money 140 acres more or less at the Mouth of a meadow, joining a branch, Robert Smith and Moratoke River and is land William Low purchased of William Reeves 30 Sep 1718. Wit: Christian Dickson, her mark, John Nairn. Ack. (date not given) by John Nairn before me Fred. Jones, Ch. Just. Reg. 18 Sep 1721.435
The will of William Lowe was made in Chowan County, North Carolina, on July 31,1720 436
Will of William Lowe, Chowan County, North Carolina, dated 31 Jul 1720 and proved 17 Apr 1722. Sons: John (land in Prince George, VA), William (land in Prince George, VA), Son-in-law Robert Dixon. Daughter: Elizabeth Pace. Wife: Ann. Executor: Robert Dixon. Witnesses: Thomas Whitmell, Thomas Arrington.
This will verifies William Lowe's ownership of land in Prince George County, Virginia, and his daughter, Elizabeth's, marriage to a Pace. William Lowe witnessed a deed in Chowan Precinct on June 26, 1721, acknowledged September 5, and recorded September 17, 1721.437 William Lowe died between September 5, 1721, and April 17, 1722, in Chowan County, North Carolina. His age would have been between 60 and 78 years of age. Mrs. Ann (Ledbetter) Lowe survived her husband, but no further information has been located about her possible remarriage or death. Note that Bertie County was formed from Chowan County in 1722. Any further information would probably appear in the records of the new county.
Thomas Lowe and Miss Wilson Thomas Lowe may have been the son of a William Lowe mentioned in a will dated in 1638 in London, England/3*
The Immigrant Ancestor, William Lowe or Thomas Lowe and ? This William Lowe would have been born before 1617 in London, England, perhaps christened at St. Dunstan's in the East. No further information has been located that verifies which of these two individuals, if either, may have been the immigrant ancestor.
65 Maycock Ancestors
The debate over the Maycock ancestral line is discussed under George Pace and Mrs. Sara Macocke. No additional information has been located.
Morgan Ancestors
William Morgan, Sr., and Anne ? The father of Anne Lambert, who married Hugh Lambert, Sr., is identified as William Morgan, Sr., through the contents of his will dated December 6,1726, in Richmond County, Virginia.
p. 33, William Morgan will in Richmond County, Virginia, dated 6 Dec 1726 and proved 1 Feb 1726/27; sons, Joshua, Will, John, Thomas, Robert; wife, Elizabeth; daus. Anne Lambert, Mary Harris, Anne Morgan [sic], Elizabeth, and Judith; ex: wife and Will Stone.Wit: Will Hartley, Richard Brown, Philip Harris (or John Reynolds?).439
This list omits one daughter named Elizabeth, one daughter named Leannah, one daughter named Joyce, and one son named Lambert who appear in various records as the children of William Morgan, Sr., and his wives, Mrs. Anne Morgan and Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan. No further information has been located about the Morgan ancestral line.
Nichols Ancestors
Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander There is little doubt that Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander were the parents of Margaret Nichols. A marriage record for Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander has been located in Madison County, Kentucky, dated Jul 19. 1790.440 In addition to the marriage record, Daniel Nichols appears in the tax records of Madison County in 1792.441 Tudor442 reports that a Daniel Nichols appears in two entries in the Madison County Order Books involving a suit brought by a man named John Leveridge. It continues from April 1791 until dismissed in September of the same year. It appears that Daniel and Mary left Madison County shortly after. Margaret herself reported the names of her parents in Church documents, and she also gave her own birth date and place. According to his grandson, Wilson Daniel Pace, Daniel Nichols was bom June 1, 1768, in North Carolina.443 His parents have tentatively been identified as John Nichols and Ann Hardy. According to her daughter, Mrs. Margaret (Nichols) Pace, Mary Alexander was born September 26,1770, also in North Carolina.444 However, on the 1850 Census record discussed below, her birth place is given as Maryland. Research to date suggests that she was the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Alexander of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Samuel Alexander left a will in Mecklenburg County dated January 20, 1784, in which he names his wife, Sarah, and his children: Mary, who married Daniel Nichols; Sarah; Esther; Margret; Martha; Elizabeth; and James.445 The children of Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander were: Sally; William; Esther Alexander; Eli Patsy;446 Levi Alexander; Margaret, who married William Pace; and Daniel Byron. Daniel Byron seems to have been the only child born in Tennessee. If so, the family must have left Logan County, Kentucky, after 1808 and arrived in Tennessee before 1815. The family of Daniel Nichols first appears in the 1820 Census of Rutherford County, Tennessee.447 The make-up of his family at that time suggests that Sally had already married and that
66 Daniel and Eli were away from home the day the Census was taken, but Daniel was still named as head of household. The woman over age 45 in the household would have been Mary (Alexander) Nichols. On the 1 st day of May, 1821, Daniel Nichols witnessed the will of Joseph Shipp in Rutherford County.448 In the 1830 Census,449 Daniel and Mary are reported as 60 to 70 years of age, and two minor males and one minor female are in their household. The 1830 Census was taken on June 1. The minor children were probably grandchildren, since children would have been out of school for the year by then. By 1840450, Daniel and Mary were in the 70 to 80 years age group, and had one young male in the household on Census day. Daniel was almost 90 years old on December 28, 1848, when he signed a deed transferring his 266 acres of land in Rutherford County to his youngest son, Daniel Byron Nichols.451 This may have been done in anticipation of death, but Daniel and Mary were still living two years later when the 1850 Census was taken.452 They were living in Daniel Byron's household and were reported as 90 and 91 [sic] years of age respectively. It is in this Census that Mary Alexander's place of birth is noted as Maryland, not North Carolina. By August 24,1851, Daniel had died. On that date, Daniel Byron registered the deed his father had signed transferring the 266 acres to him. The exact dates of Daniel and Mary (Alexander) Nichols' deaths have not yet been found, but they were at least 90 and 81 years of age.
John Nichols and Ann Hardy The only information found to date about the proposed parentage of Daniel Nichols was received in an e-mail from Neil Hardy (date unknown) which states the following:
John Nichols of Mecklenburg County, came from North Carolina and Virginia. He lived in Henry County, Virginia, p. 290, 1781-1806; d. 1806. He married (1) Ann Hardy and had Daniel, b. 1 Jun 1768 in North Carolina; and (2) Rhoda Green of Henry County, Virginia, in 1781. Rhoda Green was the daughter of William Green, Sr.
Prime453 Ancestors
The Immigrant Ancestor, Edmund454 Prime and Miss Ridley An Edmund Prime arrived in Virginia at age 16 on the Transport which left London July 4, 1635. If this is the correct person, he would have been born about 1619. His parents are unknown. Miss (Unknown) Ridley was probably the daughter of Peter Ridley of James City County, Virginia.455 Edmund Prime probably married Miss Ridley about 1649, and they became the parents of five children: Elizabeth, who married Captain George Watkins and Robert Ruffin, Sr.; Mary; John; Phyllis; and another daughter of unknown name, who married a man with the surname of Wright. Edmund Prime is said to have died after 1776 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, at least 56 years of age. Nothing further is known about Mrs. (Ridley) Prime.
Ridley Ancestors
The Immigrant Ancestor, Peter Ridley and ? Peter Ridley of James City County, Virginia, was granted land in Martins Hundred in 1639 and served as Burgess from James City Co. 1644-48.456
67 Peter Ridley was probably the father of Elizabeth Ridley, who married Captain Charles Barham; Miss Ridley who married Edmund Prime; William Ridley; and probably Nathaniel Ridley. Most of the information found about these family units is found in the following source:
Capt. Charles Barham died in 1683, and married prior to 2 Feb 1666/1667 Elizabeth (Surry D & W 1645-71, p. 342). Her maiden name is uncertain, but she was probably from the Isle of Wight County and she may have been a Ridley. . . . The best clue we have to her origin is in the will of William Ridley of Isle of Wight Co., dated 1 May 1671 and probated 19 Oct 1671. After appointing Charles Barham his executor, the testator makes bequests of household articles to.. .directs that the rest of his household goods be divided between Elizabeth and Mary Prime, daughters of Edmund Prime; that his clothing be shared between Edmund Prime and William Tuke, his wife's son -in-law; mentions Mrs. Tuke's "four children" and Edmund Prime's "five children". . . .and finally leaves his plantation to Mr. Barham till the lease is up"to keep and breed up John the son of Edmund Prime." No relationships are mentioned in the will, but the Prime children were the principal legatees, indicating a close relationship to William Ridley. . . (2) John Prime,, principal legatee of William Ridley's will, was born in 1666 and died in Isle of Wight Co. in 1726. His will, dated 4 Mar 1717-1718, and probated 28 Nov 1726, makes a bequest to his wife Martha, the reversion to go at her death to his nephew Thomas Wright; and leaves a legacy to his nephew Robert Ruffin. This Robert Ruffin was the son of Robert, Sr. and Elizabeth Ruffin of Surry Co., thus identifying Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin with the Elizabeth Prime of William Ridley's will. (Elizabeth Prime m. (1) between 1671 and 1673 Capt. George Watkins of Surry Co., and (2) in 1675 Robert Ruffin. (4) Mary Prime of William Ridley's will seems to have married John Price of Surry Co., b. 1650, who was under the guardianship of Capt. George Watkins up to his majority and was left 300 acres of land in Capt. Watkins' will in 1673, probably having already married Watkins' sister-in-law. John Price and Mary his wife deeded this land to Robert Ruffin 20 Mar 1676-1677. This couple died about 1680 to 1683, leaving three sons, William, John, and Francis, and Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin was referred to as their aunt in 1693. (5) William Ridley's will refers to Edmund Prime's "five children." Besides John, Elizabeth, and Mary Prime, there was a fourth daughter who married a Wright and was the mother of Thomas Wright, mentioned as "nephew" in John Prime's will; and the fifth child, Phyllis, seems to have married Thomas White of Surry Co (d. 1694), whose will calls Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin "sister-in-law." Mrs. White m. (2) William Edwards.457
The Ridley connection to the Primes is also spelled out in this source.
William Ridley's will refers to Edmund Prime's "five children." Besides John, Elizabeth, and Mary Prime, there was a fourth daughter who married a Wright and was the mother of Thomas Wright, mentioned as "nephew" in John Prime's will; and the fifth child, Phyllis, seems to have married Thomas White of Surry Co (d. 1694), whose will calls Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin "sister-in-law." Mrs. White m. (2) William Edwards. (6) Edmund Prime, the father of these children, witnessed the deed of John and Mary Price in 1676, as well as an assignment of her dower in certain lands by Mr. Ruffin 25 Jan 1676/76. There is no record of his death, but the above data indicates very strongly that the two sisters were perhaps also sisters of William Ridley of Isle of Wight Co. William Ridley, Mrs. Barham, Mrs. Prime, and possibly Nathaniel Ridley who died in Isle of Wight Co. in 1719, may have been children of Peter Ridley.458
Ruffin Ancestors
Robert Ruffin, Sr., and Mrs. Elizabeth (Prime) Watkins Robert Ruffin, Sr., was born about 1646 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, the son of William Ruffin and Elizabeth Jewry.459 Elizabeth Prime was bom about 1650 in Surry County, Virginia, to Edmund Prime and Miss Ridley.
68 Robert Ruffin, Sr., and the widow, Elizabeth (Prime)Watkins were married about, probably in Surry County, Virginia. They were the parents of five children: Olivia; Elizabeth, who married William Kinchen, Sr.; Robert, Jr.; William; and Jane.460 Robert Ruffin was named in William Jewry's will dated June 1,1651, and was the "sole heir" and apparently only child of his father, William.461 In 1674, Robert Ruffin, Sr., received 1025 acres for the transport of persons into the Virginia Colony.462 The first record verifying Robert Ruffin's marriage to Elizabeth Prime is the sale of 1250 acres on August 9, 1678 to Major William Olds of Nansemond County, Virginia.463 Robert Ruffin, Sr., was appointed Sheriff of Surry County, Virginia, on April 28,1714, and April 25, 1715.464 On August 22, 1667, William Ruffin transferred power of attorney to his son, Robert, Sr.465 On June 6, 1677, a record appears that shows Robert Ruffin's appointment as administrator of the estate of his father, William Ruffin, who is deceased.466 Robert Ruffin, Sr., died January 9, 1693/1694, about 48 years of age. His will was dated in 1693 in Surry County, Virginia.467 A copy of the will has not yet been found. Mrs. Elizabeth (Prime) (Watkins) Ruffin is said to have died in 1714 in Surry County, Virginia, but this has yet to be verified.
The Immigrant Ancestor, William Ruffin and Miss (Elizabeth?) Jewry William Ruffin was born about 1617 at Reuthven Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. Miss Jewry, whose suggested name was Elizabeth, was bom about 1621 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to William Jewry and an unknown wife.468 William Ruffin and Elizabeth? Jewry had only one known child: Robert Ruffin, who married Elizabeth Prime.469 There is some question raised in the following sources as to whether this William Ruffin or a William Ruffin married to someone else was the father of Robert Ruffin.470 Brief information about William Ruffin is found in the Ruffin/Reuthven history:
Robert (Ruffin) was the son of William Ruthven/Ruffin, who was born in Scotland about 1580 [sic]. He (William) fled Scotland with his brother Patrick at the time his brothers, John and Alexander, were murdered at Gowrie House 5 August 1600. Received his education in Europe, and sailed to America in 1635. He made his home in Isle of Wight Co., VA, and changed his name to Ruffin. He was our first Ruthven/Ruffin ancestor in America.471
This source does not accept the marriage of William Ruffin to a Miss Jewry, and suggests that there was another generation between the William Reuthven who was born in 1580 and the Robert Ruffin born in 1646 in Isle of Wight County. There reasonably could have been a son born in 1617 to William Ruffin (b. 1580) also named William Ruffin (b. 1617). Or there may have been two different William Ruffin lines in the Virginia Colony, which is suggested by some sources.472 Further research is needed to answer this question. William Ruffin gave power of attorney to his son, Robert, on August 22, 1667,473 and died about 1674 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, about age 57. The final mention of him is dated June 6,1677, when his son, Robert, is noted as the administrator and sole heir of his estate.474 No information has been located about Mrs. Elizabeth? (Jewry) Ruffin's death. Since she is not mentioned in her father's will, it is possible she died before 1651.
69 Sloman Ancestors
Nothing further known about Mary Ann Sloman's ancestors.
Smith Ancestors
John Smith and Elizabeth Whitfield John Smith and Elizabeth Whitfield show up in the records as parents of Elizabeth Smith, who married William Bryan, Sr., of Bertie County, North Carolina. No further information has been located about this ancestral line.
Smythe Ancestors
No additional information has been found about the ancestors of Isabel Smythe who married Richard Pace, the immigrant to Jamestown.
Stroop475 Ancestors
Edmond Stroop and ? It is possible the name of Polly Stroop's father was Edmond. That is the personal name given to her second son, Edmond Loving. However, no further information has been located about this ancestral line.

North Carolina County Selection Map K 224 PACES PAINES
Nearby to the north, Richard Pace and his family received a land patent in Dec. 1620 establishing Pace's Paines plantation. In response to English expansion into Indian lands, such as occurred at Pace's Paines and elsewhere. Chief Opechancanough • planned a 22 Mar. 1622 coordinated offensive on English settlements. Prior to the event, Pace learned about the impending affair from a Virginia Indian living with him. Pace rowed a boat across the James River to Jamestown and told Gov. & Sir Francis Wyatt of the danger. Jamestown was not attacked, but many residents of outlying plantations died in the conflict.

Thomas Gray, who arrived at or before the time of Sir Thomas Dale, is my earliest ancestor to arrive in the Colonies. He was an "Ancient Planter" of Jamestown arriving around 1608.
On April 10, 1606, King James I granted a charter to Sir Thomas Gates and a group of entrepreneurs for several colonies to be made in Virginia and other parts of America.
From this, 104 people sailed from London in December, 1606, in the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. On May 13, 1607, they arrived at Jamestown Island, 60 miles up the James River. The "First Supply" of one hundred and twenty colonists in the John & Francis and the Phoenix arrived eight or nine months later. In October, 1608, the "Second Supply," the Mary & Margaret, arrived with sixty persons.
NORTH CAROLINA Jamestown Island
In June 1609, Sir Thomas Gates, who was chosen as governor, left England with a fleet of seven ships, known as the "Third Supply," carrying about 500 settlers. The ships were scattered by a storm. Gates' vessel was wrecked on the coast of Bermuda. The other six ships of the fleet proceeded onto Virginia. On May 20, 1610, Sir Thomas Gates arrived in Virginia from the Bermuda Islands in two small boats that they built. They found 60 survivors from months of starvation. Thomas Gates and the Colony Counsel decided to leave with the remaining members of the colony for England via Newfoundland. Whey they had sailed approximately 20 miles down the river to Point Comfort, they met three ships with 250 persons with store of provisions. These ships were under the under the command of Lord La Ware. The next day the settlers returned to take charge of James Towne. On March 27, 1611, Sir Thomas Dale left England with 300 people and supplies on three ships. He was Governor of Virginia from 1611 - 1616. Despite Dale's efforts, only 300 were living in Virginia in 1616. The first representative assembly in the New World convened in the Jamestown church on July 30, 1619. The House of Burgesses met in response to orders from the Virginia Company "to establish one equal and uniform government over all Virginia" http://www.geocities.com/jonesjrjohn/gray_page_3/gray.html Historic Counties Map of England, UK w SfzY
if 9 BOOK TWO: THE KEEL476 LINE The available data on this family line and its associated matriarchal family lines is not extensive. Some sources are very reliable, while others are more questionable. Much of the original source materials in the Southern States was destroyed during the Civil War. However, new bits and pieces continue to appear or to seem related. Others are encouraged to pursue additional research into these families and increase the available information about them. Thomas Henry Keel, Sr., and Mary Angeline Jolley Thomas Henry Keel, Sr., was born August 15,1829, in Greensville, Greene County, Illinois, to Richard John Keele and Nancy Eleanor McCullough. Little is known about him or his family. He was baptized on May 17, 1839, at age 9. His parents had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints in Bedford County, Tennessee, and then moved to the Nauvoo area. However, no Keels or Keeles are listed in the Nauvoo, Illinois, Tax List for 1842. During the exodus from Nauvoo to the Salt Lake Valley, Thomas spent time at Council Bluffs in Pottawatamie County, Iowa. During his sojourn there, he married Mary Angeline Jolley on February 18, 1852. She was born December 25, 1824, in Dresden, Weakley County, Tennessee, to Henry Bryant Manning Jolley and Britanna Elizabeth Mayo. Thomas was 22 and Mary A. was 27 years of age. They came to Utah in an ox team company in 1853. They were the parents of eleven children, Nancy Eleanor Britanna; Susan Elizabeth, who married Harvey Alexander Pace; Thomas Henry, Jr.; Mary Angeline; William Wesley; Richard Bryant; John Hyrum; Frances Alice; Nephi Manning; Cynthia Ann; and Margretta Emily. Thomas and Mary Angeline received their Patriarchal Blessings on February 13, 1855, at Payson, Utah, from Patriarch Isaac Morley. Thomas's lineage was given as "Joseph"477, but no lineage was given for Mary Angeline.478 Thomas and Mary A. settled first in Santaquin, Utah County. Thomas was an elder in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a veteran of the Black Hawk Indian War. His occupation was farming. In the 1860 Census, Thomas was 30 years of age and Mary A. was 25. They were very poor; he reported real estate valued at $40 and personal property at $200. By that time, they had become the parents of four children, all born since their arrival in Utah: Nancy E., Susan Elizabeth, Thomas H., Jr., and Mary Angeline. Thomas's father, Richard John was reported in their household, but as living in Pondtown, and was 76 years of age.479 Sometime after 1862 and byl870, Thomas moved his family to New Harmony in Southern Utah.480 On July 11,1870, in Salt Lake City, their second daughter, Susan Elizabeth, had become the plural wife of Harvey Alexander Pace, a resident of New Harmony. However, they do not appear in any county in Utah in the 1870 Census, so they may have been enroute to their new location when the census was taken. By 1880, Thomas and Mary Angeline had again relocated, this time to Mount Carmel in Kane County, Utah. Thomas was now 51 years of age and Mary A. was 46. Their seven youngest children were still living with them: William, Richard B., John, Alice, Nephi, Cynthia, and Margaret.481 The 1890 Census is not available, so we do not know how long they remained at Mount Carmel, but by the 1900 Census, they had again relocated, this time to Emery in Emery County, Utah. By that time, there were no children remaining at home, and Thomas was now 70 years of age, while Mary A. was 65.482 71 Thomas and Mary Angeline (Jolley) Keel had a long, and apparently happy marriage. They reported in the 1910 Census that they had been married for 57 years! He was then 80 years of age and she was 75.483 Thomas Henry Keel, Sr., died at age 84 on December 29,1914,484 at Neola, Duchesne County, Utah, on the Uinta Reservation.485,486 Mrs. Mary Angeline (Jolley) Keel lived until September 11, 1918, dying at the age of 83. Richard John Keel, Jr., and Nancy Eleanor McCullough Richard John Keele, Jr., was born November 7,1786, in Henry County, Virginia, to John [sic] Keele and Lydia Richmond. The 1790 Census for Virginia was destroyed, so it is difficult to trace the family's movements. There is a John Keel in the Beaufort County, North Carolina, 1790 Census. This John Keel's household makeup is not consistent with that expected of Richard's father.487 In the 1800 Census, this John Keel's household continued to be in Beaufort County and was still inconsistent with having a sonborninl786.488 Richard John Keel, Jr., married Nancy Eleanor McCullough on September 18, 1808, in Bedford County, Tennessee.489 There is an indication that she was the daughter of Thomas McCullough and Mrs. Mary Hafner of Rockingham County, North Carolina. However, the first record found for a Richard Keel is the 1810 Census for Rutherford County, Tennessee. In this household, there is one male age 16-25, one female under age 10; and one female age 16-25.490 The Census was taken in August, so this household description matches what is expected. Bedford County and Rutherford County are next to each other. The location of Richard J.'s family in Rutherford County, although temporary, suggests an opportunity for first contact with the Pace family. By the 1820 Census, Richard was relocated in Bedford County and had acquired six children.491 He was now 34 years of age. By the 1830 Census, he had moved on to Greene County in Illinois.492 Illinois and U. S. land records show a Richard J. Keele as purchasing land in Greene County on February 25 and March 4,1835, and on December 2,1839. The acreage involved is very large, and seems inconsistent with what might be expected. To further confuse matters, the 1840 Census of Bedford County, Tennessee, shows a Richard Keel and the 1840 Census of Greene County, Illinois, shows an R. J. Keel. The Richard Keel in Bedford County is age 70 to 80, and shows a female age 50-60. The R. J. Keel in Greene County is age 50 to 60 and has a wife in the same age bracket plus seven children. This tallies with what would be expected for Richard John Keel, Jr. Richard John and Nancy Eleanor had a total of eleven children: Mary; Jacob; Elizabeth; Samuel; John; Sarah; Alexander; Richard, III; Dobney Uel; Thomas Henry, who married Mary Angeline Jolley; and Susan. Most of them were born in Bedford County, Tennessee. Only the two youngest were born in Greene County, Illinois. Jacob, John, and Richard died before they left Illinois. Richard J. and Nancy Eleanor (Jolley) Keele received their endowment on January 9, 1846, in the Nauvoo Temple.493 Their daughter, Sarah, married Jeremiah Bingham also in 1846, but she died in 1852 while they were encamped at Council Bluffs. Jeremiah later married her sister, Susan. By the 1851 Census in Iowa, Richard and his family were living in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.494 He was reported as age 66, while his wife, Ellen [sic] was 65. The only child remaining with them was their youngest daughter, Susan, age 18. Most of the information about this Keel family that has been published is from Pioneer Immigrants to Utah Territory*95, Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah496, and Pioneer Women of 72 Faith and Fortitude, Vol. If91. However, these sources have both erroneous and conflicting information. For example, this Richard John Keel never participated in the Revolutionary War, as a Ranger or otherwise. He wasn't even born until after the Revolutionary War was over. The date they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley has been given as 1852 and 1853. Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude indicates they traveled in the John W. Cooley Wagon Company, and arrived on September 9, 1853.498 However, Conquerors of the West499 reports that they came in the Daniel E. Miller Company. Both sources agree that they arrived on September 19, 1853, and that their son-in-law, Jeremiah Bingham, and his family traveled with them. There is also a record that a Richard J. Keel received a Patriarchal Blessing on October 5, 1850, from William Draper at Driggsville, Utah.500 This seems impossible, unless Richard came to the Salt Lake Valley at an earlier time and then returned to Iowa. The next documented report about him is the 1856 Census in Payson, Utah County, Utah.501 Mrs. Nancy Eleanor (McCullough) Keel died on November 11,1856 or 1857, in Payson, Utah County, Utah.502,503 She was about 71 years of age. In the 1860 Census, Richard was living in Pondtown, and was recorded in his son, Thomas Keel's household. He was age 76. He doesn't appear in the 1870 Census and died on November 17, 1877, about age 91. Richard John Keel, Sr., and Lydia Richmond Very little is known about Richard John Keel Jr.' s parents. They are often named as John Keel and Lydia Richmond. The records found seem to indicate that John's full name was Richard John, therefore his designation as Sr. On some records, Richard John, Jr., said that he was born in Henry County, Virginia. It seems plausible that his parents resided there for some period of time around 1786, his reported birth date. There is a John Keel who appears on the 1790 Census in Beaufort County, North Carolina.504 The reported content of his household, however, does not include a male child under the age of 16, which should have been the case if he was the father of Richard John, Jr. A John Keel appears again in the 1800 Census of Beaufort County, North Carolina, this time with two males under 10, 1 male 26-44, two females under age 10, and one female 16 through 25.505 The makeup of this family is also inconsistent with having a son born in 1786 and with the makeup of the family of John Keel in the 1790 Census. There is a Jacob Keel in the 1800 Census in Hertford County, North Carolina, who reports a male child age 10 thru 15. He and his wife are over age 45, and they also have a son and a daughter in the 16 thru 25 age group.506 Richard John, Jr., named his first son, Jacob, which may be meaning- ful. It was common in those days to name one's first male child after one's father. There is a William Keel living next to Richard John Keel in Rutherford County, Tennessee, in the 1810 Census, but the information about him would suggest he is a brother rather than a father to Richard John, Jr. The 1820 Census in Bedford and Rutherford Counties, Tennessee, provide the next clues. The evidence is equally murky here. Three John Keels were living in Bedford County. One of the John Keels in Bedford County is age 45 or over and has a wife age 45 or over, and eight children, ages 10 to 16. A second one is listed as John Keel, Jr., age 26-45, one male child under age 10, one male child age 16-26, one female age 10-16, and one female age 16-26, who may or may not be his wife. The third John Keel lists two males age 26-45, one male under 10 and two males 10-16, three females under 10, two females 16 to 26, and one female 45 or over. Along with these three John Keels, there are also a Richard, Samuel, and Philmore Keel in Bedford County. Samuel and Philmore are both age 26-45, and Samuel lives close to the Richard Keel also living in Bedford County. Philmore Keel is 73 living next to John Keel, Jr. A William Keel is still in Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, and a second William Keel is in Stewart County. The William Keel still in Rutherford County is also age 26-45, with nine children. By the 1830 Census, John Keel disappears from the Tennessee Census, and Richard Keel is in Greene County, Illinois. Then, suddenly, in the 1840 Census, Richard Keel shows up again in Bedford County, Tennessee. He is age 80-90 years, and has a white female age 50-60 and a female slave, age 24-36, living with him. In addition, this Richard Keel is reported as being age 87 and a pensioner for the Revolutionary War or Military Services. It seems likely that this Richard Keel is Richard John Keel, Jr.'s, father, and that his full name was Richard John Keel, Sr. If the age given to the Census Taker is correct, this Richard John would have been born in 1753. If correct, it is likely that the Keel men who appear on the 1820 Census in Tennessee, John (1), John (2), and John, Jr., (3), Philmore, Samuel, and William, were brothers. If so, Richard John Keel, Sr. died sometime between 1840 and 1850, at about 90 years of age. Possible Immigrant Ancestor, Arthur Keel and Sarah Monnote There is a record on the Internet that proposes the immigrant Keel ancestor was named Arthur Keele and his wife was Sarah Monnote.507 The author gives his birth date as about 1715 in London, England. He suggests that this Arthur was a resident of the City of London, and a cabinet maker by trade. At least three sons were born in London-Jacob, James, and John. Jacob the elder, was made an apprentice, and was left in England when the rest of the family departed for America in 1747. Jacob had not yet fulfilled his apprenticeship. The Keele's are said to have landed first in Delaware, then afterward moved to Virginia, settling in Wythe County, where he died. This Arthur is believed to have had at least eight children: Jacob; James; John; Richard S. [sic], born 1757 Henry, Wythe Co., Virginia, who died July 8, 1849, Bedford County, TN Beech Grove, Rutherford County, TN cemetery; and married Lydia Richmond; Jesse; Robert; Thomas; and William M.508 In 1790, Wythe County and Henry County, Virginia, were neighbors. More research is required to substantiate the information about the Keele/Keel family. ASSOCIATED KEEL LINES Associated family lines of intermarriage with the Keel Family Line are given in alphabetical order to facilitate their location by the reader. On October 21, 1782, land grants were made in Pitt County, North Carolina, that brought the Jolly [sic], Bryan [sic], and Manning families together in one location. On that date, Frederick Bryan, Jesse Jolly, and Reuben Manning were all named in land transfer documents.509 Allen Ancestors No additional information has been located about the ancestors of Katherine Allen, the mother of Mary Johnson, who married James Johnson, Sr. 74 Bennett Ancestors The Immigrant Ancestor, Thomas Bennett and Mrs. Alice (Snayle) Pierce Thomas Bennett and Mrs. Alice (Snayle) Pierce were married about 1624.51° Their parentage is unknown. They were the parents of at least two children: Richard and Alice, who first married a Mr. Johnson and then John Hardy, Jr. Alice (Snayle) Pierce had one daughter with her first husband, Thomas Pierce, for whom her second husband, Thomas Bennett, became guardian. An extensive discussion of this couple can be found on the Internet at (home. inu. net/sadie/index. htm), Sparks, Sadie Greening, Page created by, - "THOMAS BENNETT of Warrosquoyacke (changed 1637'to IOW) Co & Mulberry Island, Va. & Wife Alice (MNU) Pearce, " Copyright October 18, 2000. No additional information has been located about the parents of Thomas Bennett and his wife, Alice (Snayle) (Pierce) Bennett, other than that reported by Harper.511 Thomas BENNETT, and his wife Alice (Widow Pierce) were living near Lawne's Creek in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia in 1624, for on October 10, of that year she testified before the General Court in a trial of John Proctor, her neighbor charged with cruelty to his servants. At the same trial her second husband is identified as Thomas BENNETT, etc. Thomas BENNETT was born in Wivelscombe, Co. Somerset, England, having come on the Neptune in 1618, a member of the House of Burgesses from Mulberry Island in 1632. In records of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, these Land Grants are found: Richard Young, 350 acres, November 25, 1636, up the river side from the great Indian field, etc., from transportation of seven person: Henry SNEALE, Elizabeth SNEALE his wife, and Elizabeth, John, Dorothy, Alice and Mary SNEALE. The following year Henry SNAILE was granted 50 acres November 23, 1637, north on Pagan Creek, etc. Due by assignment of the right of one servant called William Taylor from Lt. John Upton. John and Elizabeth SNEALE (SNAYLE) had daughter Alice who married second Thomas BENNETT whose daughter Alice, married second John HARDY. Their son, John HARDY, Jr. married Rebecca, surname unknown and their daughter, Mary HARDY married , first, Col. John Hinton. Bryant/Bryan Ancestors It is likely that the Keel ancestors in North Carolina used both the Bryan and Bryant spelling of their surname. Genealogists can choose one primary spelling and show the second as an alternative when it is used in a source reference. For the purposes of this book and the files from which it was generated, the primary spelling chosen is Bryant. Walter Bryant and Sarah Johnson A piece of information found on the Internet suggests that Martha Bryant, who married Jesse Jolley, was the daughter of a Walter Bryant, and the sister of a Frederick Bryant: "Walter Bryant's deed shows that he sold his Homestead to 'Jesse Jolley for Love & Consideration' and very little money. Jesse and Martha Jolly's son Frederick's estate speaks of land he got from his father as his mother's 'home-place.' So, it can logically be concluded that Walter Bryant was Martha's father."512 Walter Bryant was born about 1710 in Pitt County, North Carolina, to James Bryant and his wife, Joan (surname unknown). Sarah Johnson was born about 1710 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Robert Johnson, Sr., and his wife Ann (surname unknown).513 75 Walter Bryant and Sarah Johnson were married about 1734, probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were the parents of at least one child, Martha, who married Jesse Jolly, and perhaps a second, a son named Frederick, who died young. In 1731, Walter Bryant received deed to his share of his great-great-grandfather's property in Isle of Wight County: 20 April 1731 - James Bryan, Yeoman, of the lower Parish and wife Joan Bryan to Walter Bryan, Yeoman, of the same..200 acres adj Hodges Councill (being part of a patent dated 1677 which was granted to Mr. Hodges Council Sr as 941 acres on 9 August 1699 he willed 200 acs of the patent to his daughter Christiana Bryan the wife of Edward Bryan and her heir John Bryan Sr. Willed it to the said James Bryan WIT John Bretten, John Taylor, James (x) Bryan.5 In 1736, Walter Bryant transferred his interest in this property in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to his brother, Samuel Bryant.515 This deed substantiates Walter's descent through his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather from Christian (Council) Bryant. Walter Bryant received a grant of 520 acres in Pitt County, North Carolina, from Earl Granville dated March 28 1760, for which he paid 10 shillings.516 In three transactions, Walter sold this acreage to Jesse Jolley, Robert Ballard, and Arthur Olds in November 1761 and April 1762.517 Mrs. Sarah (Johnson) Bryant died sometime after 1745, probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. She would have been at least 35 years of age. Walter Bryant died sometime after 1762, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina, but possibly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, if he never physically moved to his land in Pitt County. He would have been at least 52 years of age. James Bryant and Elizabeth ? James Bryant was born before 1662 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to John Bryant, Sr., and his wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown). They were the parents of at least three children: Thomas; Walter, who married Sarah Johnson; and Samuel. In a land patent dated April 16, 1683, James Bryant received 350 acres of land situated in Kingsale Swamp and the main Blackwater in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.518 This property adjoined other tracts of land owned by persons named Mayo, Council, and Joyner, which also figure in this history. In a second patent dated October 20,1689, James Bryant received an additional 762 acres of land in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.519 On February 23, 1712, James Bryant sells 250 or 260 acres of this land to James Tullagh.520 Sometime after this, James Bryant apparently begins his move to Albemarle County, North Carolina. On February 4, 1714, James Bryant and his first wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown) appoint their eldest son, Thomas, as their attorney to sell an additional 462 acres to William Beel.521 By 1717/1718, James Bryant had moved to Albemarle County, North Carolina, (although Albemarle County officially became extinct in 1689??) selling the 315 [sic] acres ofland granted him in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, on February 22, 1683.522 It is not known when Mrs. Elizabeth (surname unknown) Bryant died, but it was probably in Albemarle County, North Carolina. James Bryant then married, sometime before 1731, his second wife, Joan (surname and probable married name unknown). On April 20, 1731, James Bryant and his wife, Joan (surnames unknown), transfer the 200 acres received by heirship from his grand-father, Hodges Council, Sr., to Walter Bryant, James's son by his first wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown).523 76 James Bryant died sometime after 1731, probably in Albemarle County, North Carolina, at least 69 years of age. No record has been located of his death or that of his second wife, Joan (surnames unknown). John Bryant, Sr., and ? John Bryant, Sr., was born about 1641 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Edward Bryant and Christian(a) Council. The name of his wife is unknown. John Bryant, Sr., and his unknown wife had at least two children: James Bryant, who married Elizabeth (surname unknown); and John Bryant, Jr. John Bryant, Sr., transferred acreage in Isle of Wight County to his son, John Bryant, Jr., on February 14, 1680, who later transferred it to his son, Samuel Bryant.524 On December 26,1723, John Bryant, Sr., conveyed property received by him through heirship from his grand-father, Hodges Council, to his son, James Bryant.525 John Bryant, Sr., died apparently in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, at the age of 82 or older. No record of his death has been located. Edward Bryant and Christian Council Edward Bryant was born to unknown parents probably in England, but perhaps in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Christian(a) Council was born before 1677 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Hodges Council, Sr., and his wife, Lucy Hardy. Edward Bryant and Lucy Hardy were married before 1699, probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were the parents of at least one child, John Bryant, Sr., who married an unknown wife. Verification of these relationships is shown in the will of Hodges Council:526 9 Aug 1699 - Will of Hodges Council - Item. I give unto my daughter Christian , the wife of Edward Briand 200 acres on the S. W. side of the branch of my house & to that neck of land between the two branches. . .1 give unto my daughter Lucy Councill 200 acres beginning at the corner tree. . .unto her & the heirs of her body & for want of such heirs unto my son Hardy Councill & his heirs forever. The November 19,1736, deed from Walter Bryan to his brother, Samuel, verifies the transfer of ownership of this piece of property down through the generations:527 19 Nov 1736 - Walter Bryan of IOW for divers causes and for the natural love I have for my brother Samuel Bryant Isle of Wight Deeds, Book 5, p. 65; 19 Nov. 1736; Walter Bryan of the Lower Parish of Isle of Wight, to my brother Samuel of same, plantation formerly granted Hodges Council in 1677 and given by will to his daughter Christian Bryan, wife of Edward Bryan and the said land conveyed by John Bryan son and heir of said Christian Bryan to James Bryant and by James Bryant to me and by me to Samuel, 19 Nov. 1736. Edward and Christian(a) (Council) Bryant probably died in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, but no record of their deaths has been located. 77 Council Ancestors Hodges Council, Sr., and Lucy Hardy Christian(a) Council, who married Edward Bryant, was the daughter of Hodges Council and his wife, Lucy Hardy. The parents of Hodges Council, Sr., were John Council and Elizabeth Drake. Hodges was supposedly born about 1654 and came to Isle of Wight County, Virginia, in 1658. All the information about Hodges Council and his wife, Lucy Hardy, and their descendants found thus far is contained in the will records of Lucy's father, John Hardy, Jr., and of Hodges Council, Sr. Will of John Hardy of the lower parish in the Isle of Wight co., in Va: Dau.

W. side of the branch of my house & to that neck of land between the two branches. . .1 give unto my daughter Lucy Councill 200 acres beginning at the corner tree. . .unto her & the heirs of her body & for want of such heirs unto my son Hardy Councill & his heirs forever.532 It appears that Hodges Council died sometime between April 10 and August 9,1699, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He was about 45 years of age. His wife, Mrs. Lucy (Hardy) Council must have preceded him in death, since she is not mentioned in his will. She could not have been more than 46 years of age. John Council and Elizabeth Drake John Council and Elizabeth Drake were born in England, and arrived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, about 1658, with their son Hodges Council, Sr., and perhaps other children. No additional information has been located about them. It is likely there is some familial connection between this John Council who came to Virginia in 1658, and the parents of Olive Council who came sometime in the early 1660s, but no evidence of such a relationship has yet been found. George Council and Evelyn Dulverton No further information has been found about George Council and his wife, Evelyn Dulverton, parents of Olive Council who married John Hardy, Sr. They perhaps came to Isle of Wight County, Virginia, early in the 1600s. Deale Ancestors Henry Deale, Jr., and Mary? There is a will abstracted in Norfolk County, Virginia, for a Henry Deale with a daughter named Ann and witnessed by a Joseph Manning that may lead to a connection between Reuben's father, John Manning, and Ann Deale. This will, made by Henry Deale (Jr.) and dated April 28,1734, refers to his daughters, Dinah, Ann, and Margaret when they reach age 21, as well as his sons Henry (HI) and William, who are apparently older than age 21, and his wife, Mary.533 Possible Immigrant Ancestor, Henry Deale, Sr., and Francis ? There is a will for Henry Deale, Sr., who died sometime between October 28, 1716, and January 18, 1716/1717, and who lived at Elizabeth River, Norfolk County, Virginia. 79 HENRY DEALL Senr of Elizabeth River in Norfolk County Book 9 p. 569. dated 21 Oct. 1716. proved 18.

There is also property of a William Deale mentioned in the will, and it is possible this William maybe Henry Sr.,'s brother or father. If William is his father, he would be the immigrant ancestor rather than Henry, Sr. No further information has been located about the Deale ancestry line. Hermanson Ancestors No further information has been located about the ancestral line of Pherebe Savage's mother, Alice Hermanson. Johnson Ancestors534 James Johnson, Sr., and Mary Johnson James Johnson, Sr., was born about 1672 to unknown parents, perhaps in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Mary Johnson was born about 1681 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Robert Johnson, Sr., and Katherine Allen. James Johnson, Sr., and Katherine Allen were married in 1692 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.535 They were the parents of eleven children: Mary; James, Jr.; Martha, who married William Mayo, Jr.; Eleanor; John; Samuel; Richard; Catherine; Robert; Grace; and Benjamin. Very little information has been located about this family. James Johnson's name appears in several court records for Isle of Wight County, Virginia.536 WiIlofNicholasTynes;dtdSep28, 1708; rec.

Jolley538 Ancestors Henry Bryan Manning Jolly539 and Britannia Elizabeth Mayo There is conflicting information available about Henry B., his wives, and children in the content of Pioneer Immigrants to Utah and Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah. The following summary of their lives is as accurate as the available supporting data shows. Henry Bryan Manning Jolly was born October 11, 1813, in Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina, to Henry Jolly and Frances Manning.540 He was married in Weakley County, Tennessee, on October 31 1833, to Brittania Elizabeth Mayo, daughter of John Mayo and Gatsy Franklin or Williamson. She was born March 1, 1814, in Pitt County, North Carolina.541 They were the parents of eleven children: Mary Angeline, who married Thomas Henry Keele; Elizabeth Temperance Martha; Williamson Wesley; Henry Franklin, the first; Henry Franklin, the second; Frances Gatsey; Nephi Bryan; Bryant Heber; Rueben Kenneth; Joseph Lehi; and Manning E.Their first child was born in Weakley County, Tennessee, and their last in Utah. Henry B. and Britannia received their endowment in the Nauvoo Temple on January 5,1846, in the first company of the day. He held the office of a Seventy in the Melchizadek Priesthood.542,543 They were soon on their way west with the other residents driven from Nauvoo. 81 Henry B. and Brittania departed from Kanesville, Iowa, in June, 1852. He headed his own company. They arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, on September 15, 1852.544 Henry B. entered into plural marriage when he married his second wife, Sintha or Cynthia Ann Shurtliff on September 16, 1852, one day after their arrival in Salt Lake City. She was a member of the company he led from Kanesville. He was 39 years of age, and she was 15. She was the daughter of Elisha and Cynthia Noble Shurtliff, and was born in Russell, Hamden County, Massachusetts, on December 19, 1837.545 Her father had died in Massachusetts. By 1845, her mother had joined the Mormon's in Nauvoo and was endowed on December 20, 1845, at age 61.546 The family settled first at Palmyra in Utah County, then moved to Spanish Fork. In the 1860 Census, Henry B. and his family were living in Pondtown, Utah County, close to Payson. He and Britannia's ages were reported as 46 and Cynthia's as 23. He reported owning $200 in real estate and $1100 in personal estate. Frances, age 14, Nephi, age 12, Heber B., age 10, Reuben H, age 7, Joseph L., age 5, and Manning E., age 3, were living in his household. William W., age 22, was living next door with his wife, Mary A, age 19, and daughter, Mary C, age 4 months. Eventually, along with many other neighbors in Utah County, they moved south to settle in New Harmony, Washington County. By 1870,547 Henry B. was age 56, and living with his two wives, Britannia, age 55, and Cynthia, age 34, in Harmony. Three of his sons by Britannia and two sons by Cynthia were living with them. Cynthia's first son, Haskel, was nine years old, by that time, and her second son, Lorenzo, was one. By the 1880 Census,548 Henry B. and his two wives had moved on to Mount Carmel in Kane County. Henry B. was now 66 years of age, Cynthia was 42 and Britannia was 65. Both are listed as "wife" and "Keeping house", but Cynthia is now listed before Britannia on the Census record. Henry is still farming, and lists his birthplace and that of his parents as North Carolina, as does Britannia. Cynthia lists her and her father's birthplace as Massachusetts, while her mother is listed as born in New York. The only children still in the household are Haskel S, age 19, who is working on farm and Lorenzo, age 11. Henry B. received his patriarchal blessing in October 28, 1888, at Mount Carmel from Patriarch Joseph L. Heywood. His lineage was Ephraim.549 Henry is supposed to have married a third wife named Mary Elizabeth Belcher on March 21, 1896. However, this is the date of Henry B.'s death and seems unlikely. She was said to have been born in Pitt County, North Carolina, about 1813, which would apply to Britannia Elizabeth Mayo. From my search of the records, I have concluded that this person, if she existed, has been confused with Britannia Elizabeth (Mayo Jolly), and Henry B. had only two wives. Mrs. Britannia Elizabeth (Mayo) Jolley died May 6,1885, at age 71, at Mount Carmel, Utah, and was buried there. Henry Bryant Manning Jolley died March 21, 1896, at Mount Carmel, Utah and was buried there on March 22,1896. He was age 82. Henry B.'s second wife, Cynthia Ann Shurtliff is reported as having died June 30, 1903, in Lovell, Big Horn County, Wyoming, at age 66. Henry Jolly and Frances Manning Henry Jolly was born August 26,1789, in Pitt County, North Carolina, to John Jolly and Louisa Bryant. He married Frances Manning, the daughter of Reuben Manning and Diana McCoy.550 Henry and Frances Manning Jolly were the parents of nine known children, seven daughters and two sons: 82 Martha, Temperance, Deanna Louise, Omega, Orna Jessie, Frances Tilla, Linemenza, Reuben Manning, and Henry Bryant Manning. The first record in which Henry Jolly's name appears is the 1810 Census for Pitt County, North Carolina.551 There are three children under age 10 in the household. John's age is given as 16 to 25, and there are two adult females, one age 26 to 44 and one over age 45. The ages seem consistent with the birth dates given for the children, but suggest a discrepancy between the ages of Henry and Frances. The older woman may be the mother of either Henry or Frances or someone else entirely. Henry is credited with serving in the North Carolina Militia during the War of 1812, and with being a prosperous farmer in that State.552 By the 1820 Census, a Henry Jolly is listed in Pendleton, South Carolina, now with two males and four females under 10, one male and one female 10-16, and one male and one female age 26-45,553 Except for the second male under ten, this is consistent with the household's expected composition at that time. However, it raises the question of whether an additional male child was born and died for which we as yet have found no other record, or is this really our Henry. The move south from North Carolina into South Carolina is consistent with the migration patterns typical of that time. A Henry Jolly is still in South Carolina in 1830, living in Anderson County.554 This family bares no resemblance to the make-up of our Henry's household as we presently understand it, although the assumed father is of the proper age group, 40 to 50. The oldest female is in the 30-40 age group, which means she could well be 40 while her husband is 41. This would be consistent with the one year age difference presently shown in family records for them, but the children in no way match up in number or ages. By the 1840 Census, a Henry Jolly appears in the Census for Weakley County, Tennessee.555 A male and a female are listed as age 50 to 60, with four younger females, one each age 10-15,15-20, 20-30, and 30-40. The first three fit well with his accepted family makeup, if one of his younger daughters has married or died by 1840. The female aged 30 to 40 is unexplained. It could possibly be Barbara Grigger, whom he married after Frances died, but nothing can be proved at this time. By 1842, Henry and Frances Jolly had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints556, and were living in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois, where he had purchased land.557 They took with them, along with their children, a young Negro boy whose parents had died.558 Mrs. Frances (Manning) Jolly died September 29,1844, in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. She was about 57 years old. Henry was about 56. By 1845, he had taken two new wives and entered into plural marriage. On May 4,1845, he married Susannah Tiggart559 and on December 4 of the same year, Barbara Grigger.560 Henry and Barbara were endowed January 23,1846, in the Nauvoo Temple. No children were born to these marriages.561 Henry and Barbara Jolly soon abandoned Nauvoo with the rest of the Saints. They remained for a time at Winter Quarters raising crops for emigrants. They traveled across the plains in the Amasa Lyman Camp, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in 1850.562 Henry purchased a building lot on Second South and Main Street in Salt Lake City, and began to establish his family. However, Henry was soon called to settle at Grove Creek (now known as Pleasant Grove) in Utah County, where he died December 20, 1850, at the age of 62.563 Henry was a farmer at the time of his death, and the cause was bilious fever, a disorder of the liver or gall bladder.564 He is buried in the Provo, Utah, Cemetery.565 83 John Jolly and Louisa Bryant John Jolly is estimated to have been born sometime between 1760 and 1763, perhaps in Pitt County, North Carolina, to Jesse Jolly and Martha Bryant He is credited with marrying Louise Bryant about 1782, who was born in Bethel, Pitt County, North Carolina, to Frederick Bryant and Amelia Pugh. They were the parents of five sons, Frederick; Jesse; Hancel Bryan; Henry, who married Frances Manning; and John. Mrs. Louisa (Bryant) Jolly, wife of John Jolly and a daughter of Frederick Jolly, was probably a niece of the Martha Bryant who married Jesse Jolly. Jesse Jolly and Martha Bryant Jesse Jolly was probably the son of Joseph Jolly, Sr., and an unknown wife, who had four additional sons, Joseph, Jr., William, Jonathan, and John. Martha Bryant was probably the daughter of Walter Bryant and Sarah Johnson.566 Joseph Jolly, Sr., and ? Joseph, Sr., appears in the 1762 List ofTaxables in Pitt County along with a Jonathan and a John. This suggests that only the two youngest boys were home at that time or that Jonathan and John may have been of age at that time. However, this is the only evidence available at this time about these people, and there is no proven relationship among them other than a similarity of names carried through several generations. No additional information is available about this Joseph Jolley, other than that found on the aforementioned Pitt County Taxables Lists for 1762 and a similar list in 1763. McCoy Ancestors To date, very little information is available about this family line. Other than the names and marriage relationships shown below, almost no source material is available to substantiate these relationships. Richard McCoy, Jr. and Dinah ? Richard McCoy, Jr. was born about 1726 at St. Brides, Norfolk County, Virginia, to Richard McCoy, Sr., and his wife, Eleanor (surname unknown). Mrs. Dinah (surname unknown) McCoy was probably born about 1730 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to unknown parents. Richard, Jr., and Dinah (surname unknown) McCoy were married about 1749, and they were the parents of eight children: Diana, who married Reuben Manning, Sr.; Willis; Mary Ann; Richard, III; John; Frances; Betty; and Rebecca. A birth date of June 2,1752, was found for Willis McCoy but no source was given. Richard McCoy, Jr., is said to have died July 22,1777, at St. Brides, Norfolk County, Virginia, but no source was given. If accurate, he would have been about age 51. No death information has been located for Mrs. Dinah (surname unknown) McCoy. Richard McCoy, Sr., and Eleanor ? Richard McCoy, Sr., was born about 1700 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to Dennis McCoy, Jr., and his wife, Eleanor (surname unknown). No information has been found about the birthplace or 84 parentage of Richard McCoy, Sr.'s, wife, also named Eleanor (surname unknown), but she was born about 1704. Richard McCoy, Sr., and Eleanor (surname unknown) McCoy were theparents of five children: Richard, Jr., who also married an Eleanor (surname unknown); Thomas; Meador;567 Elizabeth; and Sarah. A Richard McCoy served as a witness to a will for John McCoy in Norfolk County, Virginia, dated November 11, 1734. This John mentions two bothers named William and Hugh. Richard, McCoy, Sr., may have been a nephew of John McCoy.568 Richard McCoy, Sr., is said to have died on March 25,1750, in Norfolk County, Virginia. He was probably about 50 years old. A burial date of July 19, 1750, was also found for him. No source was given for either date. No information has been located about the death of Mrs. Eleanor (surname unknown) McCoy. Dennis McCoy, Jr., and Eleanor ? Dennis McCoy, Jr. is assumed to have been born about 1674 at St. Brides, Norfolk County, Virginia, to Dennis McCoy, Sr., and his wife, Eleanor (surname unknown). No information has been located about the parentage of Eleanor (surname unknown), but she is said to have been born about 1678, at St. Brides, Norfolk County, Virginia. Dennis McCoy, Jr., and Eleanor (surname unknown) were the parents of five sons: Richard, Sr., who also married an Eleanor (surname unknown); Dennis, Jr.; John; Hugh; and William. John McCoy's will, proved March 21, 1734, mentions a Richard McCoy, who may have been his older brother or his nephew, and his two brothers, Hugh and William.569 Dennis McCoy, Jr., died February 21, 1721/1722, in Norfolk County, Virginia. He was about 46 years of age. No information has been located about Mrs. Eleanor (surname unknown) McCoy's death. Dennis McCoy, Sr., and Margaret ? Dennis McCoy, Sr., was probably born about 1650 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to unknown parents. He married a woman whose given name was Margaret (surname unknown). No information about her parentage has been located, but she was probably born about 1652 in Norfolk County, Virginia. Dennis McCoy, Sr., and Margaret (surname unknown) McCoy had two known children: Dennis, Jr., who married Eleanor (surname unknown); and Thomas. Dennis McCoy, Sr., is said to have died about 1677 in Norfolk County, Virginia. If so, he may have been only 25 years of age when he died. No further information has been located about Mrs. Margaret (surname unknown) McCoy or her death. It is likely that she remarried. This is another family line that is in need of much more research. McCullough Ancestors Thomas McCullough and Mrs. Mary Haffner The research on Thomas McCullough is very minimal. He is thought to have married a widow named Mrs. Mary Haffner, and they lived in Rockingham County, North Carolina. Their only known 85 child is Nancy Eleanor McCullough who was born April 13, 1788, in the city of Richmond in Rockingham County. Based on her birth date, Thomas was probably born about 1765. A Thomas McCullough appears in the Chester County, South Carolina, Census for 1790.570 The household consists of himself, his wife, one male under age 16, and a female child. The description fits well with what little information is presently available, but there is no certainty that this Thomas McCullough is Nancy Eleanor's father. Manning Ancestors The Manning Family has done extensive research into the early generations of this family line. There is some confusion and disagreement in the various sources available on the Internet, but the following seems to be reliable, although often there is no source cited for the information. Reuben Manning, Sr., and Diana McCoy Reuben Manning, Sr., was born about 1739 at Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia, to John Manning, TV, and Ann Deale. Diana McCoy was born about 1750 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to Richard McCoy, Jr., and his wife Dinah (surname unknown). There is recorded on September 7, 1767, in Norfolk County, Virginia, a marriage for Reuben Manning and Diana McCoy.571 Reuben Manning, Sr., and Diana McCoy had eight children: Reuben, Jr.; Richard; John; William; Diana; Nancy; Mary, who married William F. Bryant; and Frances, who married Henry Jolley. The next record found about Reuben, Sr., is in the 1790 Census of Pitt County, North Carolina.572 It reports his household as having three white males, including himself, over the age of 16, three white males under the age of 16, and seven white females including spouse. This conflicts with the information available at Familysearch.org, which shows him as having four male children and four female children. The only birth date found is that given for Francis Manning in Pioneer Immigrants to Utah Territory- December 26, 1787. She is supposedly his youngest child. Reuben, Sr., died after 1787 in Pitt County, North Carolina, and would have been at least 48 years of age. No information has been located for Mrs. Diana (McCoy) Manning, but she would also have died after 1787 when her youngest child was born, and would have been at least 38 years of age. Information available to date suggests that Reuben was the son of a John Manning in Norfolk County, Virginia. There is a record of connections between John Mannings living in Norfolk County back four generations to England. The following information is not substantiated beyond what is noted in the endnotes associated with each. John Manning, IV and Ann Deale John Manning, TV, was born January 7, 1707, in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, to John Manning, III, and Margaret Markham. Ann Deale was born about 1710 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to Henry Deale, Jr., and his wife, Mary (surname unknown). John Manning, TV, is thought to have married Ann Deale about 1727 in the same county. They were the parents of six children: Markham; Mary; John, V; Reuben, Sr., who married Diana McCoy; Elizabeth; and Margaret. John Manning, IV, died at age 51, leaving a will dated January 7, 1758, and proved in the March, 1758, Court for Norfolk County, naming his wife, Ann, and children, Marcom, John, Reuben, 86 Mary, Elizabeth, and Margaret.573 He was buried in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, on January 9, 1758. Mrs. Ann (Deale) Manning died after 1758, and was at least 48 years of age. John Manning, III, and Margaret Markham John Manning, III, was born before 1683 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, to John Manning, Jr., and Sarah Morton. Margaret Markham was born about 1685 in Norfolk County, Virginia, to John Markham and an unknown spouse. John Manning, III, and Margaret Markham were married about 1706 in Norfolk County, Virginia. They were the parents of seven children: John, TV., who married Ann Deale; Matthew; Ann; Sarah; Elizabeth; Margaret; and Lette. The first record that mentions a John Manning who may be the father of John Manning, IV, is a 1704 Tax Record in Norfolk County, Virginia.574 This record shows both a John Maning, Jr. and a John Maning, Sr. Both would have to be over age 21 in order to own property and have a tax responsibility. Therefore, this John Manning, Jr., who is probably John Manning, III, would have been born before 1683. A John Manning, Jr. is mentioned in the will of his father, John Manning, Sr., dated July 22, 1714.575 He is given a piece of land on which he has apparently already been living. He would have to be at least 21 years of age to qualify for such a bequest. In addition, the will mentions a brother, Joseph Manning. The next reference that seems to apply to this same John Manning is dated 1720.576 He is involved with the probate of a will for John Bruce that was proved on August 19, 1720. Mrs. Margaret (Markham) Manning died some time prior to 1757, since she is not mentioned in John, Ill's will. She would have been no more than 72 years of age, and perhaps quite a bit younger. John Manning, HI, apparently married a second wife, Mary Rouse. She may have been a widow, but she, too, is not mentioned in his will, so probably had died prior to 1757. John Manning, III, died in Norfolk County, Virginia, sometime between November 11,1757, when his will was signed, and January 1758, when it was proved. It does not mention a wife, but does mention his children: John, Matthew, Elizabeth, Sarah, Margaret, and Lette.577 John would have been about 74 years of age. John Manning, Jr., and Sarah Morton John Manning, Jr., was born about 1643, in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, to John Manning, Sr., and Mary Whyte. Sarah Morton was born about 1643 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, perhaps to William Morton and his wife, Ann (surname unknown).578 John Manning, Jr., and Sarah Morton were married about 1684 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. They were the parents of at least four sons: Joseph; William, Sr.; Thomas; and John, III, who married Margaret Markham. As noted above, John Manning, Jr., is mentioned in the 1704 tax roll for Norfolk County, Virginia, but he is designated as Senior because his father is no longer living. The will of John Manning, Jr., provides much useful information about his children. It was recorded under the name John Manning, Sr., and was dated July 22, 1715, and proved January 18, 1716.579 In the will, John, Jr., mentions his wife, Sarah, and his four sons, Joseph; John, III, who married Margaret Markham; William; and Thomas.580 A fifth son named Solomon has also been 87 suggested, but he is not mentioned in John, Sr.'s will. He is probably the Solomon Manning, who was the son of Thomas Manning, HI, and Mrs. Wattford. However, the will does contain the words all my children, which could refer only to the four named sons or to other unnamed children also. John Manning, Jr., died after July 22,1715, and before January 18, 1716, in Norfolk County, Virginia, about age 72. Mrs. Sarah (Morton) Manning outlived her husband, but it is not known when she died. There is a suggestion that she may have married a Mr. Wattford after John, Jr.'s, death, but this is inconclusive and seems unlikely since she was about 72 herself when her husband, John, Jr., died. The Immigrant Ancestor, John Manning, Sr., and Mary White John Manning, Sr., is reported to have been born at Soham, Cambridgeshire, England, December 17,1617, to Thomas Manning, Sr., and Susannah Taylor. Mary White was born about 1616, probably in England to Thomas White. John Manning, Sr., came to Lower Norfolk County in the Virginia Colony at the age of 20, along with his brother, Thomas Manning, Jr. They traveled on a ship called The Globe.m Another source suggests a brother, Edward, also traveled with them. John, Sr., was granted 100 acres of land for bringing four new settlers to Virginia. In 1636, he married Mary Whyte.582 They were the parents of four children; Mary; Margaret; John, Jr., who married Sarah Morton; and Ellinor. In 1645, 1646, and 1648583, John Manning's name appears in the court records of Norfolk County. John Manning is credited with 200 acres in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia584, on March 16, 1652, is mentioned in a deed for Gregory Parrett, and on November 26,1652, "John Mannings creek" is mentioned in a deed for William Morton.585 On April 15,1651,586 John Manning was appointed Constable for the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Norfolk County. John witnessed a deed from John Martiall [sic] To Walter Costin in 1656.587 Mrs. Mary (Whyte) Manning died sometime after 1657 and before April of 1660. Her age was about 42.588 John Manning, Sr., and his second wife, Lydia (unknown surname)Richardson, were married April 6, 1660, in Norfolk County, Virginia.589 She was probably a widow. On March 5,1661, John Manning and his wife, Lydia, sold 500 acres of land to John Norgrane of the Island of Barbados.590 On September 14, 1667, John Manning recorded a deed for 300 acres on the east side of the southern branch of the Elizabeth River, including the 200 acres previously granted to him plus an additional 100 acres for the transporting of two persons: John Carpenter and Luke White.591 A record of John and Lydia (Richardson) Manning living on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River is dated in 1668. John Manning, Sr., died sometime in 1668/1669, about age 53. The Norfolk County Court ordered an appraisal of his estate on January 18, 1668/1669.592 There is also a deed recorded April 2, 1669, granting 20 acres of land to his granddaughter, Mary Hodges, daughter of his daughter Mary (Manning) Hodges and her husband, Roger.593 John Manning, Sr.'s, widow, Mrs. Lydia (Richardson) Manning, married after John's death, to a man named Edward Norrington, with whom there were some legal issues addressed by the Court. Two involved the sale of land previously owned by John Manning, Sr., and a distribution claim raised 88 by Roger Hodges on behalf of his granddaughter, Mary.594 The third involved an order that Edward Norrington, father-in-law (stepfather), of John Manning, Jr., be required to pay a claim for the running away of said John, Jr. From his apprentice master. This claim was denied on grounds that the law did not intend to hold family members responsible for such actions.595 Mrs. Lydia (surname unknown) (Richardson) (Manning) Norrington died in Norfolk County, Virginia, about 1700, at the age of 83. Markham Ancestors John Markham and ? John Markham was born about 1651 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, probably to Thomas Markham, Jr., and an unknown spouse.596 John's spouse has not been identified. They had at least one known child: Margaret Markham, who married John Manning, HI. On April 20,1686, he owned land on the west side of the south branch of the Elizabeth River in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, near George Ballentine By 1692, he owned property in Norfolk County, Virginia, adjoining land owned by Major Francis Sayer. Nothing more has been found about John Markham. The Immigrant Ancestor, Thomas Markham and ? Thomas Markham, Jr., was probably born about 1626 in England to either a John or a Thomas Markham and an unknown spouse. He was transported to Lower Norfolk County before 1648 by Thomas Lambert.597 His only known child was John Markham born about 1651. By November 5, 1671, Thomas was probably the owner of property referred as adjacent to Markham in a deed describing land owned by George Ballentine.598 No additional information has been located about this Thomas Markham, and research is difficult because there was more than one Thomas Markham in the Virginia Colony at that time. Mayo Ancestors John Mayo and Gatsy Frankliin Williamson John Mayo was born about 1793 in Pitt County, North Carolina, to Shadrack Mayo and Nancy Meeks. Gatsy Franklin Williamson was born about 1797 probably in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, to John Williamson and his wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown). It is possible that Franklin was the surname of Mrs. Elizabeth Mayo. It seems unusual to give such a name to a daughter unless there was a family association. However, no one by that last name has been located. It is also possible that Gatsy Franklin married a Williamson first, but no evidence of this has been found either. John Mayo and Gatsy Franklin Williamson were married about 1811, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina. They were the parents of three children: Britannia Elizabeth, who married Henry Bryant Manning Jolley; William; and John W. Mrs. Gatsy Franklin (Williamson) Mayo died about 1820, probably in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, about 23 years of age. It has been suggested that John Mayo had two additional wives, Lucretia Williamson, sister of Gatsy Franklin, whom he married about 1821, and Elizabeth P. Hopkins, whom he married about 89 1825. No children have been located for Lucretia Williamson, but four children were born to John Mayo and Elizabeth P. Hopkins: Lucinda Hopkins; Louisa; Staton; and Joseph. John Mayo died December 12, 1855, in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, at age 63. Shadrack Mayo and Nancy Meeks Shadrack Mayo is presumed to have been born in Virginia about 1760 to John Mayo, Jr., and an unknown spouse. Nancy Meeks was born about 1763, probably in North Carolina, to Walter Meeks and an unknown spouse.599 Shadrack Mayo and Nancy Meeks were married, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina, about 1790. She may have been his second wife. They were the parents of at least two children: John Mayo, who married Gatsy Franklin Williamson; and Olive. A Shadrack Mayo is shown on the 1790 Census of Pitt County with one son under age 16 and possibly four daughters and a wife.600 There may have been a first marriage with children for Shadrach Mayo, or may refer to a different Shadrach. Shadrack Mayo died after 1795, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina. He lived at least 35 years. John Mayo, Jr, and ? John Mayo, Jr., was the son of John Mayo, Sr., and an unknown spouse. The name of John, Jr.'s, spouse is also unknown. They were married by 1759, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina. John Mayo, Jr., was the father of one known child, Shadrach Mayo, who married Nancy Meeks. The only potential information located about John, Jr., is the recording of two John Mayos in the 1790 Census of Pitt County, North Carolina. These are possibly John Mayo, Jr., and his father, John Mayo, Sr.601 No additional information has been located about him John Mayo, Sr., and ? John Mayo, Sr., was probably born about 1707 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to William Mayo, Jr., and Martha Johnson. The name of John Mayo, Sr.'s wife is unknown. John Mayo, Sr., was married about 1730, perhaps in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He was the father of one known child: John Mayo, Jr., who married an unknown spouse. There is a John Mayo, as well as Benjamin and James Mayo on the Pitt County, North Carolina, Tax List for 1763.602 As noted above, there was a second John Mayo in the 1790 Census in Pitt County, North Carolina, who may have been John Mayo, Sr.603 No other information has been located about John Mayo, Sr. William Mayo, Jr., and Martha Johnson William Mayo, Jr., was born about 1682 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to William Mayo, Sr., and Isabel Hardy.604 Martha Johnson was born about 1685 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to James Johnson, Sr., and his wife, Mary (surname unknown).605 William Mayo, Jr., and Martha Johnson were married about 1705 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were the parents of at least ten children: William, HI; James, Sr.; John, Sr, who married an unknown spouse; Peter, Sr.; Nathan; Martha; Elizabeth; Mary; and Ann.606 A tenth child, Delilah, has also been credited to them.607 90 William Mayo, Sr., father of William, Jr., died about 1715 in Isle of Wight County, leaving William, Jr., some acreage on Blackwater. William, Jr., then became known as William Mayo, and after the majority of his son, William, III, was called William, Sr. In 1742, William Mayo, [Jr.], and his wife, Martha, sold 100 acres of land on Blackwater in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.608 William Mayo, [Jr.], then moved his family from Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Beaufort County, North Carolina, about 1742. In 1760, Pitt County was formed out of Beaufort County. In 1763, William Mayo and William Mayo, Jr., are recorded together on the Pitt County, North Carolina, Tax List.609 This appears to be this William Mayo, [Jr.], and his son William Mayo, [III]. Mrs. Martha (Johnson) Mayo died sometime after 1742, probably in Pitt County, North Carolina. She would have been more than 57 years of age. William Mayo, Jr., died after 1763 in Pitt County, North Carolina, at least 81 years of age. The Immigrant Ancestor, William Mayo, Sr., and Isabel Hardy William Mayo, Sr., was born June 5,1654, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Edward Mayo, Sr. And Ann Dyke. Isabel Hardy was born about 1662 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to John Hardy, Jr., and Alice Worthington. William Mayo, Sr., and Isabel Hardy were married in 1681 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.610 They were the parents of seven children: James; John, Sr.; William, Jr., who married Martha Johnson; Peter; Margaret; Patience; and Mary.611 Land grants to William Mayo, Sr., totaling 936 acres, were made in 1682, 1683, 1691, and 1702.612 His name appears in the Quit Rents of Virginia for 300 acres,613 and his 220 acres on the Blackwater are mentioned in 1706 and 1713.614 One anomaly appears in the records for Isle of Wight County, dated 1693, before William Mayo, Sr., had died: Power of Isabella Mayo, widow [sic] of Will. Mayo, to her broth.[in-law] Hodges Councill to acknowledge her title to land unto Tho. Lewis, son of Richard Lewis, &c. 7 Aug 1693.615 William Mayo, Sr., appears several times in will and administration records in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.616 Burnett, Robert Will recorded July 17,1669 - the plantation that my brother William Mayo lives on; wit: William Mayo, p. 206.

Mrs. Isabel (Hardy) Mayo died sometime after 1715, probably in Isle of Weight County, Virginia. She was at least 53 years of age.619 No record of a second marriage has been located. Meeks Ancestors Most of the information about the Meeks ancestral line was found on the Internet, with the caution that the data has not been verified.620 Walter Meeks and ? Walter Meeks was born about 1740, probably in Beaufort County, North Carolina, to John Meeks, Sr., and his unknown wife. The name of Walter's wife is also unknown. They were the parents often children: Edward; Shadrack; Jacob; Severn; Henry; Mary; Diana; Annithe; Lucy; and Nancy, who married Shadrack Mayo. Walter Meeks was born about 1740. He owned 50 acres in Pitt Co., No. Carolina on 15 Jan 1764 received from John Meeks. He died before 1789. Children derived from deed records: Edward died before 1789, no children; Shadrack Meeks died before 1799, no children; Jacob resided in 1800 in Duplin Co., NC; Severn Meeks; Henry Meeks; Mary Meeks; Diana Meeks; Annithe Meeks; Lucy Meeks was married to unknown Wersley; Nancy Meeks was married to Shadrack Mayo.621 Walter Meeks' name appears on the Pitt County Tax Lists for 1762 and 1763, but there is no Walter Meeks in the Pitt County Census for 1790.622 Walter Meeks probably died in 1788/1787 in Pitt County, North Carolina. He may have been about 50 years of age. John Meeks, Sr., and ? John Meeks, Sr., was born about 1717 to James Meeks and an unknown wife. The name of John Meeks, Sr.'s, wife is unknown. They were the parents of eight children: John, Jr.; Walter, who married an unknown wife; Thomas A; James; Nathan; Francis, Sr.; Robert; and Matthew. John Meeks died about 1772 in Pitt Co., NC. He was first mentioned in the 1755 poll tax of Beaufort Co, NC with a son (Pitt County was formed from Beaufort County.) He received a land grant on 5 Mar 1761 from Lord Granville for 542 acres on Grindal Pocosin, joining Edward Collins and David Hathaway The survey was dated 22 April 1756. He signed with the mark "j." Deed records suggest he had sons named John, W alter, Francis and James. The last deed recorded was dated 22 Jan 1772 for 100 acres to James Meek. Tax records also list the names Thomas and Nathan Meeks. 92 It is believed that John had a father or brother named James in this same area. James obtained land on 6 Dec 1747 in what is now Pitt Co., NC, 100 acres from Joseph Barrow of Beufort Co., on the east side of Coneto Creek at Thomas Little's line. John sells this land on 1 Mar 1757. Court records place James in North Carolina in Bertie precinct on July 1727. James died before 1757.623 John Meeks appears in Pitt County, North Carolina, census records for 1762 and 1764.624 He probably died in Pitt County about 1772, at about 55 years of age. James Meeks (Sr. ?) and ? James Meeks was born before 1706, possibly as early as 1695, in Bertie Precinct, North Carolina, to unknown parents. The name of his wife is also unknown. They were the parents of at least one child: John Meeks, Sr., who married an unknown wife; and perhaps a second, James, Jr. It is believed that John had a father or brother named James in this same area. James obtained land on 6 Dec 1747 in what is now Pitt Co., NC, 100 acres from Joseph Barrow of Beaufort Co., on the east side of Coneto Creek at Thomas Little's line. John sells this land on 1 Mar 1757. Court records place James in North Carolina in Bertie precinct on July 1727. James died before 1757. James Meeks was perhaps as much as 62 years of age at the time of his death. Morton Ancestors The Immigrant Ancestor, William Morton and Ann ? No further information has been located about this ancestor, if he was indeed the father of Sarah Morton, wife of John Manning, Jr. Pugh625 Ancestors Thomas Pugh, Sr., and Mary Scott Thomas was probably born in Nansemond County, Virginia, about 1705, to Francis Pugh, III, and Pherebe Savage, but was living in North Carolina by 1713. Mary Scott may have been born in North Carolina about 1725, to unknown parents. Thomas Pugh, Sr., and Mary Scott are said to have married in Bertie County, North Carolina.626 They were the parents of five children: Francis, Thomas, Jr., William Scott, Shadrach, and Amelia, who married Frederick Bryan[t], Sr. Thomas Pugh, Sr., may have been the Lt. Colonel Thomas Pugh of Bertie County, North Carolina. A Thomas Pugh advanced in the Bertie County Militia from Ensign to Lieutenant to Captain from 1754 to 1759, and is noted later as being a Major in said Militia.627 Mrs. Mary (Scott) Pugh's is thought to have died about 1785 in North Carolina. If so, she may have been about 60 years of age. Thomas Pugh, Sr., is said to have died about 1806 in Bertie Precinct, North Carolina, about age 81. No information about a second marriage for him has been located, but it seems unlikely he would have lived as a widower for 21 years. Francis Pugh, III, and Pherabe Savage Francis Pugh, III, and his wife, Pherabe Savage, are well documented in Virginia and North Carolina records. 93 Francis Pugh, III, was born about 1692 in Nansemond County, Virginia, to Francis Pugh, Jr., and his wife Ann (surname unknown). Pherabe Savage was born probably about 1702in either Nansemond or Northampton County, Virginia, to Thomas Savage and Alice Hermanson. Francis Pugh, III, and Pherabe Savage were married in Northampton County, Virginia, on September 8,1722.628 They have been credited with a total of six children, the last of whom was born posthumously: John; Thomas, Sr., who married Mary Scott; Ferebee; Mary; Margaret; and Francis, IV. Francis owned property in Virginia, in both Bertie and Edgecombe Counties of North Carolina, as well as some in the West Indies. He was a merchant and planter, and owned a ship called The Carolina. Francis Pugh, III, died in Bertie County, North Carolina, August 5,1735, only about 41 years of age.629 In his will, dated July 5,1733, and proved May, 1736, in Bertie County, North Carolina, he mentions his wife, Pherebe; his sons, John and Thomas, and "their sisters"; and "the child my wife now goes with", who became Francis, IV.630 After the death of her first husband, Francis Pugh, III, Mrs. Pherebe (Savage) Pugh married Thomas Baker, Esq., in Northampton County, Virginia, on May 11,1744. Pherebe had an additional daughter named Betsy Baker.631 It is not known when Mrs. Pherebe (Savage) (Pugh) Baker died, but it was in Bertie County, North Carolina, between 1745 and 1787. She would have been more than 43 years of age. Colonel Thomas Baker lived in Bertie County, North Carolina, but moved to Edenton, North Carolina, where he died in 1787. Francis Pugh, Jr. and Ann ? Francis Pugh, Jr., was born in Nansemond County, Virginia, about 1667, the son of Francis Pugh, Sr., and an unknown spouse. He married Ann (surname unknown) about 1690 in Northampton County, Virginia. Their only known child was Francis Pugh, IE, who married Pherebe Savage. The Immigrant Ancestor, Francis Pugh, Sr. and ? Francis Pugh, Sr., was an immigrant from Wales to the Jamestown, Virginia, Colony in 1666, along with his brothers, Daniel and Thomas.632 He married an unknown spouse and had one known child: Francis Pugh, Jr., who married Ann (surname unknown). Francis was the eldest of the three brothers, and settled near Suffolk, Virginia, in Nansemond County. He built a "commodius" residence from brick imported from England, which he christened Jericho. Savage Ancestors Thomas Savage and Ann Hermanson No information has been located about Thomas Savage and Ann Hermanson, the probable parents of Pherebe Savage, who married Francis Pugh, III. 94 Scott Ancestors No information has been located about the parents of Mary Scott, who married Thomas Pugh. Snayle633 Ancestors The Immigrant Ancestor, Henry Sneale and Elizabeth ? Harper634 reports that the parents of Alice Snayle were Henry and Elizabeth (surname unknown) Sneale, who entered the Virginia Colony around 1636, with their children: Elizabeth; John; Dorothy; Alice, who married as her second husband, Thomas Bennett; and Mary. Whyte635 Ancestors Nothing certain is known about the family of Mary Whyte, who married John Manning, Sr. However, there is information available about a Thomas Whyte, Sr., who was closely involved with John Manning in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, and may have been Mary's brother. This Thomas Whyte, Sr., was probably born in England about 1619 to unknown parents, The name of his wife is unknown. He was the father of at least three children: Thomas White, Jr., Elizabeth; and John. White636 provided the following information about Thomas Whyte, Sr.: Thomas 1 White, the earliest member of the White family that settled on the Elizabeth River in Lower Norfolk Co. possibly arrived in Virginia on the ship George that sailed from London on 21 Aug. 1635. His age was given as 16 years.[20] Thomas White was listed as aheadrighton a grant to Thomas Sawyer for 250 acres on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Lower Norfolk Co. on 10 March 1637/8. The other headrights listed on the patent were Christopher Hamond, Wm. Spackford, Tho: Kirke, and Isabell Ablesonne. In Lower Norfolk Co. Court held on 16 June 1645 Thomas White and John Manning were ordered to pay 554 Lbs. tobacco to Arthur Browne, merchant.[24] At the same court was recorded the gift of one cow from Thomas Meares to Thomas2 White the son of Thomas White and that the first calf should go to Elizabeth2 White the daughter of Thomas White, and that if Thomas White the younger was to die a minor then the gift should go to the other children. Also at the same court was recorded the gift of a calf from Thomas Sayer to a daughter of Thomas Meares. [25] This gift of cattle from Thomas Sayer to the family of Thomas Meares and from Thomas Meares to the family of Thomas White shows a connection of Thomas White to the person who listed him as a headright in 1637/8. Thomas White was granted certificate for 100 acres of land on 15 Aug. 1650 in Lower Norfolk Co. court for the transport of John Biggs and George Goodman.[26] Thomas White and Peter Sexton were granted 450 acres on the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River at Gaythers Creek in Lower Norfolk Co. in March 1653.[27] By a patent, dated 15 March 1655/6, Thomas White was granted 300 acres on the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River at Julians Creek.[28] On 18 March 1662/3 Thomas White and Thomas Blanch were regranted the 450 acres on Gaythers Creek after the widow of Peter Sexton sold her part.[29] By a deed, dated 15 Aug. 1665, "Thomas White of Elizabeth River in the County of Norfolk, carpenter" sold his 300 acres on Julians Creek to John Manning.[30] On 16 Oct. 1668 Thomas White witnessed a deed of land sold by John Manning on Gathers Creek.[31] Thomas White had evidently died by 15 April 1671 when his son John2 White sold 225 acres on Little Creek, i.e. half the Gaythers Creek patent, to Henry Culpepper. According to the deed, the land, adjacent to Thomas Everidge, "was in posession of my father Tho: White."[32] 95 Williamson Ancestors John Williamson and Elizabeth ? Gatsy Williamson was probably the daughter of John and Elizabeth Williamson of North Carolina. In some records her name is shown as Gatsey Franklin, but a search of the Census records of both Pitt and Edgecombe Counties reveals no one by the last name of Franklin in either county. 96 APPENDIX A: TIME LINE FOR PACE/HAMMOND HISTORY IN THE AMERICAS:1 Pace/Keel Ancestors Jamestown Settlement 1607 Virginia Colony founded on Jamestown Island on May 14. It is commonly regarded as the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America, following several earlier failed attempts. It was founded by the London Company (later to become the Virginia Company), headquartered in London. 1611-1619 Richard and Isabella Smyth Pace immigrated to the Virginia Colony. 22 March 1622 Indian massacre at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. About 347 people, or almost one/third of the English populace of Jamestown were killed by a coordinated series of surprise attacks by the Powhatan Confederacy under Chief Opechancanough. 1624/1625 "Ancient Planters" was term given to those who came to Virginia Colony before the close of 1616, survived the massacre of 1622, and appeared in the Muster of 1624/1625 as then living in Virginia. Special grants of land were given to these persons, male or female. 1634 James City County formed as one of the original eight shires of Virginia. Jamestown was the capital of the Colony for 83 years, from 1616 until 1698. 1663 Under the Carolina Charter of 1663, King Charles II of England (newly restored to the throne) designated eight "Lords Proprietors" to govern the new colony. The Roanoke area was renamed the County of Albemarle. 1664 Albemarle and Clarendon Counties established in the "Carolinas."637 1670 Berkeley, Currituck, Shaftsbury, and Pasquotank Precincts established from Albemarle Precinct 1681 Perquimans Precinct - name change from Berkeley 1685 Chowan Precinct - name change from Shaftsbury 1689 Albemarle County became extinct. 1698 Capital of Virginia Colony relocated to Middle Plantation, about 8 miles (13 km) from Jamestown. That small community had become home to the new College of William and Mary in 1693, and was renamed Williamsburg in 1699. 1712 Craven County created 1722 Bertie Precinct created 1729 North Carolina becomes a Royal Colony. 1739 All counties formed from Albemarle were "precincts" of that county until 1739 when they were designated as counties and Albemarle County was dissolved 1741 Edgecombe County created from Bertie County 1746 Granville County created from Edgecombe County 1 Descriptions of historical content from Internet, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.

Divided into Warren and Franklin Counties 1770 Wake County created from Cumberland, Johnston, and Orange Counties 1775 begins The American Revolutionary War (also known as the American War of Independence): began as a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen united former British colonies on the North American continent, and ended in a global war between several European great powers. The war was the culmination of the political American Revolution, whereby the colonists rejected the right of the Parliament of Great Britain to govern them without representation. In 1775, revolutionaries gained control of each of the thirteen colonial governments, set up the Second Continental Congress, and formed a Continental Army. Petitions to the king to intervene with the parliament on their behalf resulted in Congress being declared traitors and the states in rebellion the following year. The Americans responded by formally declaring their independence as a new nation, the United States of America, claiming sovereignty and rejecting any allegiance to the British monarchy. In 1777 the Continentals captured a British army, leading to France entering the war on the side of the Americans in early 1778, evening the military strength with Britain. July 4,1776 United States Declaration of Independence 1779 Franklin and Warren Counties created from Bute County 1783 American Revolutionary War ends. Sept. 17, 1787 Constitution of the United States adopted. March 4, 1789 United States of America Constitutions came into effect. 1790 Davidson, Greene, Hawkins, Sullivan, Sumner, Tennessee, and Washington Counties were no longer part of North Carolina 1812-1815 The War of 1812 December 23 - The Battle of New Orleans - About five miles (8 km) south of January 8,1815 New Orleans on the grounds of Chalmette Plantation. Bedford County, Tennessee War of 1812 Resources COLONEL THOMAS WILLIAMSON DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment West Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen DATES: September 1814 - April 1815 MEN MOSTLY FROM: Bedford, Davidson, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, Wilson, Giles, and Smith Counties 98 CAPTAINS: Giles Burdett, James Cook, John Crane, John Doak, John Dobbins, John Hutchings, William Martin, Anthony Metcalf, Robert Moore, James Nealy, James Pace, Thomas Porter, Thomas Scurry, Robert Steele, Richard Tate, Beverly Williams BRIEF HISTORY: Along with Colonel Robert Dyer's unit, this regiment was part of General John Coffee's brigade that fought at Pensacola and New Orleans. Marching from Fayetteville to Camp Gaines (30 miles from Fort Montgomery), they helped Jackson take the port of Pensacola from the Spanish on 7 November 1814. Williamson's men then participated in all of the engagements at New Orleans, where they were part of the left line of Jackson's breastworks. In March 1815 they returned to Tennessee via the Natchez Trace. Brief History of Tennessee in the War of 1812, Prepared by Tom Kanon, Tennessee State Library and Archives New Orleans Campaign (December 1814 - January 1815) After leaving a sizable portion of his army to occupy the various garrisons throughout the Mississippi Territory, Jackson arrived in New Orleans in early December to conduct the defense of the city that was to be the prize of Great Britain's southern campaign. Located above the mouth of the Mississippi River, New Orleans' strategic location and accumulated wealth offered a tempting reward to a British army fresh from its victory over Napoleon in Europe. Elite English forces faced Jackson's polyglot army of militia, frontier volunteers, U.S. regulars, pirates, free blacks, Creoles, and Choctaws. Although the famous Battle of New Orleans has been noted in song and celebration, the British assault on New Orleans was actually composed of several different engagements: 23 December 1814 - Often referred to as the "night battle," this was the initial engagement between the British and American land forces at New Orleans. On the afternoon of 23 December, Jackson learned that a British force had made its way through the bayous to a plantation several miles south of the city. Jackson mobilized his forces and launched a daring attack at 8:00 p.m., leading the right wing (the 7th and 44th U.S. Infantry) while General John Coffee led his brigade of Tennessee mounted men on the left. The darkness of the night turned the fight into mass confusion, as friendly troops fired on each other and combat became hand-to-hand. By 11:00 p.m. the British gave ground but Jackson's forces did not pursue, as neither side could ascertain the other's strength. American losses were 24 killed and 115 wounded while the British suffered 46 killed and 145 wounded. 1830 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints organized 99 1831-1838 The Kirtland, Ohio, Years 1838-1839 The Missouri Years 1839-1846 The Nauvoo, Illinois Years July 24, 1849 The Salt Lake Years Begin 1861 - 1865 The American Civil War (also known as the War Between the States): Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the US. and formed the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy). Led by Jefferson Davis, they fought against the U.S. federal government (the "Union"), which was supported by all the free states and the five border slave states in the north. In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing and incoming U.S. administrations rejected secession, regarding it as rebellion. Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. Lincoln responded by calling for a volunteer army from each state, leading to declarations of secession by four more Southern slave states. Both sides raised armies as the Union assumed control of the border states early in the war and established a naval blockade. In September 1862, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery in the South a war goal, and dissuaded the British from intervening. . . Surrender of the Confederacy came on April 9, 1865. The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history, causing 620,000 soldier deaths, and an undetermined number of civilian casualties, ending slavery in the United States, restoring the Union, and strengthening the role of the federal government. The social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era that lasted to 1877, and brought changes that helped make the country a united super power. 100 APPENDIX B: HARVEY ALEXANDER PACE PEDIGREE 101 102 Pedigree Chart Chart no 1 8 William PACE .

Pace Family Crest and Name History, (www.HouseofNames.com). Spelling variations are typical of Anglo Norman names, most of which evolved after the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th Century. French was introduced into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules, Latin was used in the established church, and scribes spelled according to sound. The Pace surname was spelled Pace, Paice, Pacie, Pacy, Pasci, and de Paceio. It was first found in Cheshire from very early times, and was so old that they were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy for their assistance in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Immigration records indicate that some of the first North American settlers bore the name Pace or a variant; see especially Richard Pace of Virginia, before 1620. 2. Pace Society of America DNA Study, The lineage DNA data for Henry Alexander Pace indicates it is in Haplogroup Rib. "Haplogroup Rib is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re- colonized after the last glacial maximum of 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype." 3. Washington County, Utah, Master Cemeteries Index, p. 143. 4.

This farm property was located east of New Harmony, and the remains of the dwelling were visible until the late 1900s.

William Pace has been incorrectly identified as William Franklin Pace by some researchers. He named his son William Franklin Pace, but he, himself, was never identified this way. All references to him in official records use William Pace, and his son, Harvey Alexander Pace, clarified in a letter dated January 27, 1905, to his grandson, William H. Pace (son of Harvey's oldest son, William Harvey Pace) that his father, William, had no middle name. 30. Washington County, Utah, Master Cemeteries Index, p. 144. 31.

This information was copied and summarized from the Pace Family Bulletin, No. 26, (December 1973), Pace Family Society of America, Evanston, Illinois. 86. James Pace Journal. 87. Mendoza, Marty, E-mail - Thomas Loworn (Loving) was born in 1750. Around 1771, probably in Pittsylvania County, he married Polly Stroup (Stroop) who was the mother of four sons, James, Edmund, Gabriel and John, and three daughters, Judy, Mary Ann, and Sarah. In 1772, the family resided in Pittsylvania County. Thomas received a North Carolina Land grant in 1779. In 1785, he bought land adjacent to his grant. This land was within a mile of the Virginia State line. After Polly's death, Thomas married Rosemand (last name unknown). Richard and Elijah were her sons. In 1818, Thomas married Nancy McCartney of Clark County, GA. Thomas died in St. Clair County, Alabama 13 Feb 1827. Edmund Loworn had descendants who moved to Winston County, Mississippi and to Arkansas. Gabriel moved to Marion County in 1830. John moved in 1810 to Rutherford County, Tennessee. 88.

A major difficulty in tracing the history of William Pace and Ruth Lambert is the change in county affiliation that occurred in North Carolina over the years, even though property location may not have changed. For instance, Bute County was formed from Granville County in 1764, then abolished in 1779 when it was divided into Warren and Franklin Counties. 93.1830 United States Census, Rutherford County, Tennessee, p. 9, 295: William Pace, one male 0-5, 3 males 5-10,1 male 40-50, 1 male 70-80; 1 female 5 -10, 2 females 10- 15,1 female 15-20, 1 female 40-50. 94. Family Research Records show William Pace, Sr., b abt 1750 in Prince George County, Virginia, d. 1834 in Tennessee, and married to Ruth Lambert. Shows his parents as Richard Pace, born about 1713 in Prince George County, VA and Elizabeth, who married about 1743. Also shows his brother as George Pace, b. 1752 who married Sarah Walker and had son Jonathan, b. 1794. 95. The Pace Family of America, compiled by Frieda Reid Turner, W. H. Wolfe Associates, Roswell, Georgia, p. 196 - Some genealogists have conjectured that William Pace who died inl790 and James Pace, who died inl815, were the sons of an earlier James Pace assumed to have died in 1767. This earlier James Pace was actually the brother of William Pace who died in 1790, and Floyd Haupt found that he did not die in 1767, but sold his property in North Carolina in that year and moved south along the Savannah River in South Carolina and Georgia. 96. Ibid, p. 198. William Pace of Georgia, married to Ruth Lambert, was the son [sic] of George and Obedience Pace. (Based on the previous analysis on pages 195-198, this should read "grandson" of George and Obedience.) 97. See The Pace Family: 1607-1750 - Birth date based on marriage date of 1771; places of birth and death assumed from information about her husband, William Pace. Also, Rebecca Christensen e-mail - 3/22/2004; Ruth Lambert's son William Pace was born about 1773 (from 1850 Census records). It is possible that Ruth may have been born about 1753-57 (age 16-20) in 1773) if son, William, is indeed the oldest. Also, Taylor, Scott W., Ancestral World Tree Project, Ancestry.com - Ruth Lambert, female, born abt 1750 in Mecklenberg Co., Virginia; father William Lambert, bom 15 Jun 1720 in North Farnham, Richmond, Virginia; married about 1771, to William Pace, born 1750-51 in Granville Co., North Carolina; John Pace, child, born in Northampton Co., North Carolina. 1810 Census, Rutherford County, Tennessee - She was over 45. 112 98. Temple Index Bureau, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - William's grandson, James Pace, along with his daughter, lists his grandparents as William Pace and Ruth Lambert. 99. Gordon Pace e-mail: In the book Pace Society of America Bulletins Vol 1, pp 224- 233 it is explained that there was a Lambert family who were neighbors of William Pace Sr's family in the late 1700's in Franklin County, NC. The Poplar Springs Church in 1788 listed "William Lambert, Dec'd" as a member as well as a Pace family. In 1805 a John Pace sold a 100 acre tract of land to a John (or Francis) Anderson on Turkey Creek near the Nash County Line in Franklin County. Boundaries were given as Bryant's land, Tabitha Lambert's corner, and Heartsfield's line. William Pace's son John Pace, Sr. married Sarah Anderson and named a daughter Ruth Lambert Pace. ... I feel the frequent recurrence of the names Ruth and Lambert among the descendants of William Pace, Sr. should not be ignored. The fact that William's son, John Pace, Sr., named his daughter Ruth Lambert Pace (b. 1811 Rutherford Co, TN) requires an explanation. I think it is obvious that he named her after someone who was very important to him. If not his mother then who? Another of William's sons, James Pace, Sr., m. Mary Ann Loving and named a daughter Rutha (or Ruth) Pace b. 3/19/1803 in Clark Co, GA. A third son of William's, Isaac, m. Rachel Cosby and named a daughter Ruth Pace b. abt 1825 m. a Cabe. A son of James Sr., James Jr. m. Ann Webb and named a daughter Ruth Elminab. 12/13/1866 in New Harmony. A son of John, Sr., John, Jr. m. Sarah McCracken and named a son John Lambert Pace b. 8/24/1835. A probable grandson of William (or less likely a ggrandson) was William Carroll Pace who m. Mary McCracken (sister of Sarah) and named a son Lambert Pace b. abt 1851. The above James Pace, Jr. had a son named Warren Sidney Pace who named a daughter Ruth Matilda b. 5/7/1858 UT. The above John Pace, Jr. had a daughter Lenny Pace who m. a Lemmon and named a son William Lambert Lemmon b. 1894. 100.

He notes this arrangement was only created to establish a framework for working with the children, and should not be considered their actual year of birth or ages. He had more information for establishing the year of birth for the boys than for the girls but none are to be taken as absolute proof. He does argue strongly that Richard was the oldest son. 198.

Her maiden name is uncertain, but she was probably from the Isle of Wight County and she may have been a Ridley. . . . The best clue we have to her origin is in the will of William Ridley of Isle of Wight Co., dated 1 May 1671 and probated 19 Oct 1671. After appointing Charles Barham his executor, the testator makes bequests of household articles to.. .directs that the rest of his household goods be divided between Elizabeth and Mary Prime, daughters of Edmund Prime; that his clothing be shared between Edmund Prime and William Tuke, his wife's son-in-law; mentions Mrs. Tuke's "four children" and Edmund Prime's "five children". . .and finally leaves his plantation to Mr. Barham till the lease is up"to keep and breed up John the son of Edmund Prime." No relationships are mentioned in the will, but the Prime children were the principal legatees, indicating a close relationship to William Ridley. ... (2) John Prime, principal legatee of William Ridley's will, was bom in 1666 and died in Isle of Wight Co. in 1726. His will, dated 4 Mar 1717-1718, and probated 28 Nov 1726, makes a bequest to his wife Martha, the reversion to go at her death to his nephew Thomas Wright; and leaves a legacy to his nephew Robert Ruffin. This Robert Ruffin was the son of Robert, Sr. and Elizabeth Ruffin of Surry Co., thus identifying Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin with the Elizabeth Prime of William Ridley's will. 456.Ibid 457. Ibid. 458.
