Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/2303.1.1 Message Board Post: I just saw your posting from Dec. 2001 indicating much information about Jones families in Rowan County. I have family of Ebenezer Jones/Mary Roten and half brothers living there from abt 1783 to 1810 when they moved to Knox County (later Davies County). Among Ebenezer's possible families one included a brother named James. Does any of this information match?

The NC Civil War Paces included a father and son from Rowan Co., NC.. Abner Pace (1821-d.after 1880) was a member of the Senior Reserves in Rowan Co., NC, probably active during Gen. Stoneman's assault on Salisbury NC in late April 1865. This was after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. He was a harness maker by trade and had originally come from Guilford Co., NC, where he in 1843 he married Julia Anne Reid (1825-1911), daughter of Jesse Reid (b.1803-1877 Guilford). Abner Pace was the son of Alsey Pace and Zilpha Hall. Abner Pace's only child was John Fletcher Pace (1844-1901), a member of the 57th NC Regiment, largely taken from residents of Rowan Co. NC at its formation in 1862. John Fletcher Pace enlisted when he was 16 years old He distinguished himself at the Battle of Fredericksburg in Dec. 1862. He was with Lee all the way to Appomattox, once being captured and held at Pt. Lookout Prison, MD. Exchanged in early 1864, he and the 57th Regiment were sent with Gen. Jubal Early to protect the Valley of Virginia, perhaps the bread basket.of the Confederate Army. After a year-long campaign there (not covered in the article below), the unit returned to Lee near Petersburg, and were there for the long-suffering siege of Petersburg by Sherman and Grant. After being parolled at Appomattox, he returned to Salisbury, a proud Rebel veteran. When he died in 1901, he was Police Chief of Salisbury; his wife was the former Clara Bell Wilson, daughter of Caroline Earnhardt and William M. Wilson of Rowan Co. NC. His only son was my grandfather Charles Wakefield Pace, Sr.(b.1878). No.Soldier NameSideFunctionRegiment Name 1Pace, AbnerConfederate 4th Regiment, North Carolina Senior Reserves 22Pace, John F. Confederate Infantry 57th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry 57th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry 57th Infantry Regiment was organized at Salisbury, North Carolina, in July, 1862, with men recruited in the counties of Rowan, Forsyth, Catawba, Cabarrus, Lincoln, and Alamance. Sent to Virginia, the regiment was assigned to General Law's, Hoke's, Godwin's, and W.G. Lewis' brigade. It fought with the Army of Northern Virginia from Fredericksburg to Mine Run, then returned to North Carolina. After serving in the Kinston area the 57th was ordered back to Virginia. It continued the fight at Drewry's Bluff and Cold Harbor, in Early's Shenandoah Valley operations, and around Appomattox. The unit reported 32 killed and 192 wounded at Fredericksburg, had 9 killed and 61 wounded at Chancellorsville and twenty-two percent of the 297 engaged at Gettysburg disabled. At the Rappahannock River in November, 1863, it lost 4 wounded and 292 missing. On April 9, 1865 it surrendered with 6 officers and 74 men of which 31 were armed. The field officers were Colonels Archibald C. Godwin and Hamilton C. Jones, Jr., and Major James A. Craige. From: http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/military.html

Cathy, You might try getting the 1817 court documents on film thru the LDS. Of course, if you don't know the month his trial came up, you may spend a lot of time scrolling through the film. Or you could send a message to Vanessa Sterling in the Rowan History Room and see if they have the court documents on film. Her e-mail is: sterlingv@co.rowan.nc.us. If she finds anything, she can photocopy the film pages and charge you only $4 for up to 10 pages. She has found a lot of material for me.
