Here is the information from the census: 1860 Federal Census Western Dist., Marion Co., Al. Pikeville P.O. June 30, 1860 Page# 547 Pace, William- 45 yrs.- Farmer- b. Ga. Mary- 33 yrs.- b. Ga. Julia- 17 yrs.- b. Ga. Andrew- 14 yrs.- b. Ga. James- 12 yrs.- b. Ga. Jane- 8 yrs.- b. Ga. Martha- 7 yrs.- b. Al. Sarah- 5 yrs.- b. Al. Allise- 1 yrs.- b. Al. Myself and several others have been stuck for many years with our Pace family line and have not been able to find them on any censuses before 1870. This particular census is a possibility (the closest I've seen yet). Is Mary's full name 'Mary Rachel' or 'Rachel Mary'? Is it possible that Jane (possible nickname of 'Fame') went on to marry ? Mitchell? Could the name 'Martha' actually be 'Mahala'? Could Sarah's middle name be 'Angeline'? Please, if you can help with this in any way at all I would be so grateful! Thank you, Karla
