Dear EMBA: I have not researched the Armfields, but they sort of crisscross my Paces in Guilford Co. In 1847 YOUNG PACE was apprenticed as an orphan to JONATHAN ARMFIELD in Guilford; in 1850 YOUNG PACE was re-apprenticed to ISAAC ARMFIELD, a cabinet maker. I don't know what happened to the first apprenticeship; perhaps JONATHAN ARMFIELD died or perhaps Young Pace wanted to change occupations from ? to cabinet maker. He was a carpenter/cabinet maker later in Mecklenburg Co. The 1850 Guilford Census (Southern Division) shows Young Pace living in the household of ISAAC ARMFIELD, AGE 63, CABINET MAKER, BORN GUILFORD, NC.. This was next door on the census to ZILPHA PACE (age 50) and her son DAVID PACE (age 16 and "idiotic"). Later this Zilpha Pace would live with Young Pace and Needham Pace when they finished their apprenticeships in Guilford and moved to Mecklenburg. I believe she may have been their mother. If you uncover information about my Paces (my gggrandfather Abner Pace, apprenticed in 1837 to Hiatt & Jean saddlemakers in Guilford), I would appreciate it. I can't find the name of the father of these Paces, and I am not sure whether the Zilpha Pace above was an aunt or their mother.
