Dear Friend, > I am currently researching my PACE family and I have hit a brick wall on the wife of Jesse Pace. Jesse was born abt 1773 in Surry, NC. He was married to a woman named Mary (Polly) last name unknown. Mary was born between 1765-1775. I feel Mary could have been a Hadley since she named one of her children Simon and Simon being a common name in the Hadley family. The name Simon does not appear previously in the Pace family. However, a distant cousin of Jesse Pace's named Simon b1837 was married to Elizabeth Hadley, d/o John Hadley who was the son of Joseph Hadley born 1745. Jesse Pace's mother, Keziah Howell was first married to Thomas Pace of Surry. Her second marriage was to Joseph Davis of Surry, NC. I have seen connections of the Davis family of Surry to the Hadley family of Surry. I hope this is not too confusing to you. My question is this: Is there a Mary Hadley born 1765-1775 in probably Surry, NC that could be the wife of my Jesse? Jesse and his wife migrated from Su! rry to Knox Co, KY about 1801, first appearing on the Knox Co tax list in that year. > Thank you, > John Pace
