Don, I have recently found new information on Julie Ann from a distant cousin who found a bible record. Julie's full name from the bible was Julyan Sephrona Pace b. 16 Feb. 1841(I guess she was older than Peter!), and her mother was Christian Perry, William Pace's first wife who died probably around 1846 since William married Mary Ann Pollard in Feb. of 1847. Julie had 1 full sister and 1 brother from that marriage. Her sister was Martha Elizabeth b.1843 who died before 1850 and he renamed another daughter the same name by his second wife. I noticed in the bible that Julie's grandparents did that too, even mentioned that the second child was named for the one who died. The brother was Andrew who was still living in the household in 1860 Marion County AL, but I don't know what happened to him. Julie's step mother moved to TX with her son James Knox Polk Pace where she died in 1891. It is assumed that William died in AL. Julie did have one half-sister who lived in MS and is buried in the Henry Cemetery in Corinth. She was Sarah "Sallie" Pace Sweat married to Zachriah Taylor Sweat. I wonder if they were related to N. S. Sweat?? Uncle Jimmy (James M.) Franks middle initial gave me some trouble as I have seen at least 3 spellings for his name. There was an obit a few years ago for one of the children that listed the father as James Mar Franks, so I thought that was close enough for me, so I am using the middle name of Mar instead of Morrow, I can't recall the other spelling at this time.
