My Great, Great Grandfather, Jonathan PACE (Apr 1815 - Mar 1903), came to Forsyth County early in 1840 and married Mary THOMPSON (Aug 1818 - Nov 1886). They resided in the Ocee Community in what became Milton and the Fulton counties where they raised their family. They and several children are buried in the Old Bethlehem Cemetery in the middle of the Windward Development. Jonathan was the son of Cornelius PACE (1787 - Oct 1847) of Henderson/Buncombe/Rutherford counties, North Carolina and the grandson of Burrell PACE (1758 - 1816) from the same counties via, Spartanburg County, SC; Surry County, NC and Prince George County, VA. I am descended through their youngest son, George Robert PACE (Sep 1864 - Jun 1946) of Cobb County, GA. My interest in family and local history was passed on to me by a grand daughter, Corrine Mae PACE, who was born, raised and educated in Forsyth County. She was an assistant teacher for a period at the Bacon School as was her sister, Ruby Lee PACE. Both were first grade teachers for over 40 years most of the time in Marietta, GA. They were the youngest daughters of Henry Jackson PACE of Forsyth County, GA. Jonathan A.

Hi Donna, How about a roll call? I'm sure there are lots of new list members, as well as our dear friends who started with us on the list years ago. I'd also be interested in hearing where their families migrated from when moving to Forsyth County. While most of us enjoy surfing ancestry and genealogy sites on the web, there are older folks who can't, but do read list messages. I can't begin to tell you how many of my Dad's friends and family I have been in contact with, thanks to this list! My surname list includes; GUNTER, CRUSE, ROGERS, MATHIS, TESSENEER, GRAVITT, VAUGHN, CROW(E), BROWNLOW, HUGGINS, COOK, SAMS, SC(R)OGGIN, and more. Most came from VA>NC>SC>GA. I look forward to hearing from all of the list members! Brenda ambleside@mindspring.com P.S. Donna, how about listing your surnames? Even though they didn't(?) come through Forsyth, you might link up with another researcher! ==== GAFORSYT Mailing List ==== Forsyth County Georgia History and Records http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/

Dear Jon: Do you show at any time in or near Surry NC a woman named Elizabeth Pace who met and married a man named Hezikiah Cockrum or Cockerham? This Elizabeth is my 4th Great Grandmother we think!! I am trying to locate proof of that fact. If not then she married a Nephew to this man later on as if was then the son of this man's Brother by his first wife Judith Cooley of VA. Halifax Co. I have a ton on the Cothran line (sic) our branch now. Was Cockrum and prior to that Cockerham as far as we can tell for sure. Our line goes back to King William Co. VA and 1722 so far.
