Charles Hartley and I are both related to the Bowles and Pace families that ended up in Henry County, Virginia. Am also related to the Stanley Family that ended up in Henry County, Virginia also and there is a Burwell Stanley, b 1810, son of Thomas Stanley (b. 1778) and Delilah Hill (b. 1779). Haven't come across a Burwell Bowles yet. But, I have found some information that might provide some helpful clues as the Paces, Bowles, Trents, Bouldins, Bassetts and Stanleys are closely tied and and lived fairly close together in Henry County, Virginia. Still do. The major source I have regarding the name Burwell is from Anne Bassett Stanley Chathan's (c, 1996) book published by Historical Publications, Inc., Dallas, Texas., Pages 611, 612. "3. The Burwell Family - FHL Book #929.273Se48K:........Joanna, born in 1675; married, Nov. 28, 1693, William Bassett; died Oct. 7, 1727. James Burwell...his death occurred in 1718, when he was in his twenty-ninth year." Will probated September 15, 1718 at Yorktown. "In it he names his wife, Mary; daughter, Lucy; son, Nathaniel Bacon Burwell; and sisters, Mrs. Johanna Bassett, Mrs. Elizabeth Harrison Mrs. Martha Armistead and several others. His executors were his brothers, Nathaniel and Lewis Burwell an brother-in-law, William Bassett." On pages 638 and 639, it is stated, "Joanna Burwell was the daughter of Lewis Burwell of Carter's Creek, Member of King's Council, d. Dec [can't read]. Lewis Burwell married Abigail Smith b. 1636 d, 1672. Neice and heiress of Nathaniel Bacon Sr., President of King's Council 1689. Major Lewis Burwell of Bedford and Northampton, Eng.; settled in Gloucester County, Va., d. Nov 17 [can't read year] Major in Va. and married a Higginson 26 Nov 1675 dau. of Robert Higginson who distinguished himself in the Indian Wars. ........." So, far, we have a Burwell Pace, a Burwell Bassett and a Burwell Stanley. Since these families are so closely tied together I will be willing to bet that ole Burwell's ancestors are the same but proving it is another matter. Anne in VA

Quoting: <<I see some saying that the Middlesex Johnson's & Pace's Are not connected to the Wiliamsburg Paces The next one says that there is a Connection???>> Who are the Williamsburg Paces? I know about the Middlesex Paces and the Jamestown area Paces but not Williamsburg Paces. DNA can disprove easier than it can prove. Complete differences between the DNA of the Middlesex descendents and the descendents of the North Carolina Paces who came down from the Jamestown area proves conclusively that they are NOT related. Before DNA, Pace descendents tried to "prove" that John of Middlesex was descended from Richard of Jamestown (some said through George, others through "Richard II"), but it was based on smoke and mirrors, not evidence. You have probably run into these earlier accounts and have not separated them out from what the recent evidence shows. DNA has found a precise link (perfect 25/25 match) between Gordon Pace of Canada and the Middlesex Paces, 95% chance they are related within a generation of John of M. Documentary evidence and strong circumstantial evidence virtually prove that John of Middlesex was born in Shropshire in 1665. So DNA has worked wonders here. To see this evidence go to http://pacesociety.org/DNA/johngeorge.htm The evidence will show that John of Middlesex was most likely a brother to Gordon Pace's 6x great grandfather George Pace. Too many similarities in naming children, birth dates, etc., to be coincidence. If you understand how DNA works and what its limits are it can be a help. It is better at disproving than at proving, but it can support documentary evidence. Look at the DNA chart (http://www.pacesociety.org/DNA/results.htm) and see how consistently the John of Middlesex Pace descendents (group 2) match each other but NOT the Jamestown area Pace descendents (3a and 3b), but notice how consistently those Paces match each other. If this isn't helpful data, I don't know what is. You need to evaluate and sort out all of the claims. The early Pace Society researchers jumped to a lot of conclusions not supported by evidence. There will always be conflicting claims and IFs, whether DNA is used or not. You have to look at the evidence behind the claims. DNA is just one more tool to help do that.

Also, the deed of gift to Richard Pace, which is the only support for the theory that Richard Pace might have married a daughter of Richard Baker, seems to come at an odd time. By 13 March 1661/2, Richard Pace was not only married to a wife named Mary but apparently selling land which she had an interest in, perhaps had brought to the marriage. The deed of gift from Richard Baker to Richard Pace doesn't happen until 7 Feb 1664/5. The 1661/2 sale of land was witnessed by John Floriday, true, but also by Caesar Walpole, John Hobbs, and John Daniel. There's no evidence that Richard Baker ever had a daughter or stepdaughter named Mary who could have married Richard Pace. And Ann Baker, poverty-stricken widow struggling to maintain two children and an adult disabled son with no domestic help, doesn't seem to fit well as the mother-in-law of Richard Pace the prosperous landowner. Taking it all together, I don't see that it's possible to reach any sound conclusion about who Mary Pace was. There's just not enough information.

Seems strange though. Richard Baker was apparently a man of property. On 18 March 1662 he and Patrick Jackson jointly patented 1500 acres "on the back side of Merchant's Hope". And a couple of years later he gives Richard Pace 140 acres "..lying...on the west side of the aforesaid Baker's plantation." And yet, only a few months later, his widow petitions the court saying she is so poor she "hath no servant". Seems odd he didn't make better provision for his wife. Maybe she was just poormouthing. --------------------------------- All new Yahoo! Mail "The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use." - PC Magazine

I inquired of a Adams researcher about Mourning Adams, who according to my records was married to Jesse Pace, who died about 1807 in Fluvanna County. I have a copy of the inventory at his death. I received this answer" Mourning Adams and what I show as James( Jesse)Pace is that she was born about 1772, and that he was born about 1769 and died about 1807. I have a copy of James Adams' will, and he name mourning as one of his daughters. I show that Jesse Pace was the son of John Pace, born in 1740 in Middlesex, Va and Ann Nanny. Has anyone ever seen Jesse Pace, husband of Mourning Adams referred to James Pace. I also seem to remember the possibility that Mourning married a Barnett, after the death of Jesse.Would anyone know ?To my knowledge Mourning and Jesse had no children. I

From: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/07/26/jamestown.dig.ap/index.html Forgotten Jamestown well holds centuries-old artifacts RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- Sometime around 1610, archaeologists figure a thirsty colonist put his brass pistol on the side of a well as he pulled up some water and accidentally knocked the weapon in. It is conjecture, but it is one explanation for a cache of rare finds they fished up Tuesday from the bottom of a 400-year-old well at an overlooked corner of Historic Jamestowne, a national park. The items included the Scottish pistol, a man's leather shoe and a small lead plaque reading "James Towne" -- the equivalent of a colonial luggage tag. Outside Indian artifacts, the items are among the oldest ever unearthed in North America. "They're the earliest you could find in what is now the United States," explained William Kelso, director of archaeology for the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The group owns approximately 22 acres (8.8 hectares) of Jamestown Island, including the southwestern corner where researchers made the discovery. The site is in the heart of what began as a military outpost, an area so old that few thought it could be pinpointed, he said. "It was thought that that site had washed into the river and couldn't be found," he said. "I had an idea it could." Year-long commemorations are under way to mark the 400th anniversary of the English landing in 1607 and founding of Jamestown, Virginia -- the first permanent British settlement in America. At its peak, Jamestown would have been home to about 250 settlers and part time residents -- legislators who traveled there for the earliest governmental sessions in Britain's American colonies, he said. A team of 12 archaeologists started digging Monday through what amounted to their trash. Finds included a halberd, a 17th century ceremonial staff often carried by military sergeants; a hammer; and an intact ceramic bottle called a Bartmann jug or a "bearded man," which was made in Germany and could date back to 1590, Kelso said. Insects, plant life and even the white oak timber used to line the 15.5-foot-deep well (4.65 meters) will offer further clues of the environment in the colonists' day, Kelso said. The items were transferred to an onsite lab to be cleaned, examined and eventually displayed at the site's newly opened Archaearium, a museum of history and archaeology at Jamestown. Kelso said settlers considered wells, commodes and any hole in the ground great spots for trash. Wells like this one would have been used until the water ran dry _ likely due to muddy marsh water seeping in -- then converted to colonial era dumps, Kelso said. Things at the top of the well would have been tossed there as junk and are not usually as valuable, Kelso said. On Tuesday, archaeologists reached the second layer of debris, more valuable items that toppled in while some thirsty settler leaned in for a drink. So just how did someone's shoes end up at the bottom? "By accident," he said. "That's how you get such interesting things."

Very interesting, but is there a typo? The Vestry agree to acquit William Floriday of levies on 15 May 1655, but Ann says she has been supporting him since September 1664. Should the "1655" read "1665"? James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

The first Burrelle in this country was believed to have been Jean -Baptiste Elzeard Burrelle, a French physician in the Revolutionary War b. 1 Nov 1757 in Ollioules, France. He married 27 Nov. 1786 in Philadelphia, PA. He died March 1825. He was married to Patience Hanna Bird b. 1767 in Philadelphia, PA. She died 25 March 1848. The name Burrelle has been spelled many ways and eventually has ended up Burrell. These Burrells, many found presently in Attala County, MS, are my ancestors as is also Richard Pace.

I thought I had submitted this message to PACE-L@rootsweb.com, but I can find no copy in the Archives. It seems I forgot to send it. I am forwarding the message now. It is given below. I have demonstrated, on the basis of circumstantial evidence, that Ann, wife of Richard Baker, had been married previously, this time to an UNK Floriday. Now the name Floriday would have been known to the colonists, in as much as Floriday may be a variant spelling of Flowerdew. Lady Temperance Flowerdew was the wife of Gov. Sir George Yeardley. The Floweredews or fflowerdieus come from co. Norfolk in England. I realize my connection of Flowerday and Flowerdew may be stretching a point. The text of the message follows: ******************** Did Ann Baker have a marriage prior to her marriage to Richard Baker? Her marriage to Richard Baker is proven by the will entered into probate in the Court held at Westover 3 April 1665. Ann was named executrix for the estate. Unfortunately, only an abstract of the court proceedings is referenced. An examination of the entire record might make clear a definite relationship between Richard Baker and Richard and Mary Pace. The will book for Charles City County for this time frame is missing. Shortly after Baker’s will was entered into probate, the widow Ann Baker petitioned the “Honoured Vestry of Westov’r Parish” on behalf of her son William Floriday! She said that her son was visited with dangerous convulsion “fitts wch taketh him commonly every day”. He was thus unable to earn a living and her son warranted a tax exemption. She stated she had maintained her son since September 1664. Richard Baker was then alive. In May 1665, she stated that she was a “lone woman and hath no servant and a charge of two children to maintaine.” The court ruled in favor of her and her son. William would not be required to pay taxes on account of poverty. This material is given on p. 322 of Beverly Fleet’s “Virginia Colonial Abstracts, the Original 34 Volumes Reprinted in 3, Vol. III” published by the Genealogical Publishing Co. of Baltimore. William Floriday is listed as a head right of Howell Pryse for land granted in Feb 1657. It is possible he was living in England. I find that Floriday is sometimes written ffloriday or even ffloridieu. A John X ffloriday was a witness to the sale of property by Richard Pace “with Consent of my wife Mary Pace” to Richard Taylor, 13 March 1661/2. Hamilton Noble Pace wrote the name as ffleridiau (sic). There remains the possibility that Ann Baker had a son-in-law named William Floriday rather than a son. However, if this is not the case then she was married to a Floriday and Mary Pace’s maiden name might be Floriday. ********* The complete transcript of Ann Baker's petition is given below: Ref: Fleet, Beverly, “Virginia Colonial Abstracts, the Original 34 Volumes Reprinted in 3,” Vol. III, Baltimore, Genealogical Pub. Co., Inc., 1988 – “Charles City County, Court Orders, 1664 &#8209; 1665, Fragments, 1650 &#8209; 1699,” p. 322. p. 554. To the Honoured Vestry of Westover Parish. The Peticon of Ann Baker widd.

I think I have run into a Burrell/Burwell family in NC in this early date, but I don't remember where. Perhaps all of these Pace families had some reason to come in contact with that family. Betty Pace <snip> The use of Burrell as a given name appears in the Stricklands in the mid-1700s.

Hi James, I think Elizabeth is mentioned again in her mother's will probated 1711 in Surry County. The will apparently mentions "my youngest sons Robert and Thomas Newsome" and "my daughters Elizabeth and Anne". If this is indeed the wording, it seems to indicate that Elizabeth and Anne were both unmarried in 1707 when the will was written. So it seems to confirm that "our" Elizabeth Newsome was not the wife of John Pace. I haven't seen the will myself. Wd appreciate a scan if you follow it up.
