From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jan. 21, 2006. (ajc.com) Salvatore Joseph De Pace , 74, died Mon. (Jan. 16) at his Dunwoody residence. The body was cremated. He was a native of Providence, RI, who came to Atlanta in 1976 as a real estate developer and manager, and quickly became a leading figure in Atlanta's travel industry. Survivors include a son, David, of Phoenix; two daughters, Marie Heath of Dallas and Gigi Leavitt of Phoenix, six stepdaughters (named), two stepsons (named); a brother, John, of Phoenix, twenty-eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

She appears to be the dau. of James Pace and Lucinda Gibson Strickland Who were their parents She married Arthur Morrison Rawson in Hancock, Illinois He died 28 Feb. 1923 at Ogden, utah Is there a Nibley, Oregon Margaret A.

Just some postings I found on and thought them interesting: Jeremiah Paice m Esther Rapley in Burghfield, B erkshire in 1763 This was posted on the Pace forum From the ancestry file of Ronald Coleman: Mary Lucretia Pace b.ab. 1529 m. John Ball b. abtl 1525 in Workingham, Berkshire England They were married abt.1850 He was married several times and had quite a few children another wife was Agnes Hathoway b. abt. 1529

My question was different. Sorry if it wasn't very clear. Larry suggested that McDaniel's mother could have been Zilpha Batten Pace, John Pace's daughter-in-law. I was asking, "if that were the case would John Pace have been likely to name the child as grandson, given that he would NOT have been John Pace's grandson or any blood relation at all?" Personally I think the answer is no, but as I said before, anything is possible.

Apparently the purpose of the requirement was to keep blacks off the voting register. "Rockingham County, NC, Permanent Voter Registration, 1902-1908." This registration was mandated by North Carolina in 1902. Any male was eligible to vote if he could read and write or if he had been eligible to vote in 1867 or if he was descended from a man who was eligible to vote in 1867. This record lists the voter's name, his age, the name and residence of the ancestor from whom descended, the date the voter registered and his township.

Arguing just on the basis of probabilities, it seems to me that since John Pace named McDaniel as his grandson and gave him land, he probably really was the child of one of John Pace's children. Would he claim as his grandson a child born out of wedlock to his son's wife? Anything's possible I suppose, but given that (a) the bond says his mother was Zilpha Pace and (b) the bond also shows he was born out of wedlock and (c) John Pace called him grandson and (c) John Pace's daughter Zilpha Pace seems to have had an illegitimate daughter ...putting all those things together and it seems to me to make sense that Zilpha Pace (later Garner) was his mother. If she had a relationship (or was taken advantage of) and it lasted for a few years, and two children resulted, she wouldn't be the first young girl that that happened to. Is there one of these bonds for the girl "Frances E." or "Bettie", I wonder? Ellen

My Zilpha Hall Pace (m. Alsey Pace 1820) cannot be the mother of McDaniel Pace as she was 56 years old and either in Guilford Co. NC or in Mecklenburg Co. NC at the time.

IDA sent the info below recently. This info refers to 2 deeds, one granting a parcel of land to his daughter Zilpha Pace Garner and her heirs. The other grants land to his grandson McDaniel Pace. Does this mean that Zilpha might not consider McDaniel her heir or is possible that McDaniel was more a son than a grandson and needed or deserved land of his own? WHATEVER THESE 2 DEEDS DO NOT PROVE THAT MCDANIELS MOTHER IS ZILPHA PACE. From what I read the deeds prove that McDaniel Pace is John Pace's grandson and that Zilpha Pace Garner is his daughter. Are there other deeds that might show land granted to John Pace's other children or widowed spouses and other grandchildren? IDA'S PREVIOUS INFO "What I found last week when I re-visited the Register of Deeds Office at the County Courthouse in Smithfield was a Land Deed between John Pace, the grantor, and Zilpha Garner, the grantee. This record can be found in Deed Book 'O', page 33. The first part of it (the part that caused my heart to go pitter-patter!) reads as follows: "This indenture made the 25th of July 1871 between John Pace of Johnston County and State of North Carolina of the first part and Zilpha Garner wife of Wm H Garner [sic] of the above written County and State. Witnesseth that the said John Pace for and in consideration of natural love and affection to him in hand paid by his daughter Zilpha Garner [that's the exciting part!!] the receipt is hereby acknowledged hath granted bargained and given and by these presents doth grant bargain give the said Zilpha Garner and her heirs a certain tract of land in Johnston County adjoining the lands of Jas H Batten and others on the south side of little creek [sic]." The remainder of the document is typical "deed-speak" with a description of the property given in metes and bounds terminology, etc. On the next page (page 34) of the same book is another Deed with John Pace as the Grantor and McDanel [sic] Pace as the Grantee. "McDanel" is cited in the document as "his grandson McDanel Pace", referring to John Pace. Larry Pace

Yes--that was the infamous "Grandfather clause" used all over the south to keep blacks from voting. An illiterate white could vote if his grandfather could; a black man could not unless he could pass the literacy test, and they sometimes made the literacy test quite hard.

Hi All, the question was asked would a Grnfather name a child born out of wedlock .. John R Pace of Harlan Co Ky named four Grandchildren in his probate all with different fathers names one of his daughter Had these children .. 3 of them carried the Pace name one of them Carried the Natural fathers name.. think in part because his father did reconize him..when he was older ..altho he also was a married man and after his wife died he claimed the King son the other fathers were also married men who made a visit apparently to John R Pace 's daughter ..We got the Death Cert and all had different fathers names.. same Mother ....Has Anyone tried to get Death Cert of McDaniel Pace ??

I could not find the information I received from the Johnston County, NC Heritage Center telling about who was eligible for the voter registration and why there was an "ancestor" listed. A google search brought up the following voter registration requirements from a Rockingham Co., NC website. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/nc/county/rockingham1/local.html "This registration was mandated by North Carolina in 1902. Any male was eligible to vote if he could read and write or if he had been eligible to vote in 1867 or if he was descended from a man who was eligible to vote in 1867. This record lists the voter's name, his age, the name and residence of the ancestor from whom descended, the date the voter registered and his township." Note in the case of Larry Pace below, the Larry Pace "ancestor" may have been Larry Pace himself as he was probably eligible to vote in 1867. Copies of the original voter registrations below can most likely be obtained from the Johnston County, NC Heritage Center. I hope my earlier post hasn't confused anyone.

Interesting data. I wonder how accurate the info would be? Does the ancestor possibly mean the father or a possible grandparent or more? 1)David Pace was b. abt 1850 and has been reported as a son of Bartley Pace-info agrees.

The Larry Pace noted would be b. abt 1833. The Larry Pace I have noted as a son of John Pace b. abt 1798 was estimated to have been b. abt 1826.

THEORY # 2 McDaniel Pace' s parents Maybe the other son of John and Edney Pace, Larry Pace, b. abt 1826, is McDaniels father thru a relationship prior to his known recorded marriage. LARRY PACE married CYNTHIA BATTEN(b 1835) on 9 Apr 1856 - Johnston, NC Cynthia Batten parents are James H Batten, b abt 1804 and Sally Garner, b. abt 1801 Known CHILDREN of Larry & Cynthia Pace Nancy b. bet. 1859-1860, died bef. 1870 census? SARAH A., B. ABT 1862, Maybe Larry Pace is the father, but most likely his wife Cynthia is not the mother, noting they married April 9, 1856 and McDaniel Pace by the 1900 census was born July 12, 1856. If Cynthia is not the mother, this could explain why McDaniel Pace Grandparents have him in their household on 1860 and 1870 census. But it possible that McDaniels mother might have died, thus the living arrangements for McDaniel. Are their other possibilities or theories? Larry Pace

Another theory regarding the parentage of McDaniel Pace b . 1856 Bartly Pace (b. 1821-1826, d. bef. 1860) md Zilphey Batten 15 Jan 1850, Johnston Co.; Bondsman: Henry Starling; Witness: H I Bell CHILDREN DAVID, b. abt 1850 BYTHAN, b. abt 1852 MERIT, b. abt 1854-55, md Eliza Sulevant May 14, 1885, Johnston Co., NC HARRIET, b. abt 1855-1856 AND MAYBE MCDANIEL, b. July 1856 (per 1900 census) Bartly Pace is purported to be a son of John Pace & Edney Batten Marriage: 22 DEC 1821 , Johnston, North Carolina Is this Zilphey Batten Pace the mother of McDaniel Pace but the actual father is Daniel Sellers? Need Harriet and McDaniel's birthdates to see if there is 8-9 months difference or if they are twins. What mother would give up one twin if such occurred, but we do not know until 1860 where McDaniel is living. So if his father is Bartley who died before the 1860 census, then maybe he went to live with his grandparents, but if his father is possibly Daniel Sellers, maybe it was better for the grandparents to rear him. Bartley PACE died by 1859 per the dower noted. PACE, BARTLEY - 1859 - Wid. Zilpha [Batten] Pace dower 25-1/2 ac. (10+) Also Zilpha Batten Pace is widowed at the time of the 1860 Census So why is McDaniel living in 1860 Census with his grandparents John & Edney Pace, his Aunt Zilpha Pace, and in 1870 Census he is living with his widowed grandfather John and a Frances E. Pace, age 7? One of McDaniels purported mother's Zilpha Batten Pace, (b. abt 1832), is widowed in 1860 with 4 of her children living with her, next door to her in-laws John and Edney Pace. My theory is that McDaniel, age 3 in 1860, is living with his grandparents for some reason, death of his mother, maybe house space? McDaniel is still living next door to his Aunt Zilpha Pace Garner in 1870 at the age of 15 (maybe an age error?) and he is also close to Zilpha Batten Pace, widowed wife of Bartly Pace. This is one more theory and it may not stand up to a real test. Larry Pace

Here are my main arguments that Zilpha Pace b. bet 1839-1845 may not be McDaniel Pace's mother: ZILPHA PACE, most likely the daughter of John Pace & Edney Batten, was b. abt. 1845(maybe b. 1839-1844?) and her purported nephew MCDANIEL was b. July 1856 per 1900 census. There is a range of 9-22 YEARS age DIFFERENCE between ZILPHA PACE AND MCDANIEL PACE WHEN LOOKING AT THE 5 CENSUS YEARS. THEIR AGE DIFFERENCE VARIES FROM 9, 13, 18 & 22 YEARS. Note McDaniel Pace's census age is fairly consistent, while Zilpha's age varies too much, leading one to believe her age reporting is deliberate for some cover-up reasons or more likely just ignorance by those reporting info. This Zilpha Pace, who married Henry Garner, is an supposedly an Aunt to McDaniel as noted in the Land deed between John Pace the grantor, and Zilpha (Pace) Garner, the grantee. CENSUS YEARS COMPARISON TO DETERMINE AGE OF MOTHER AT THE TIME OF MCDANIELS BIRTH TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF MCDANIEL PACE BEING BORN TO ZILPHA PACE GARNER who married Henry Garner Aug 3, 1870 in Johnston Co., NC 1860 CENSUS, ZILPHA AGE 21, & MCDANIEL IS 3: AGE DIFFERENCE 18 YEARS 1870 CENSUS, ZILPHA AGE 24, & MCDANIEL IS 15, AGE DIFFERENCE 9 YEARS 1880 CENSUS, ZILPHA IS AGE 35, & MCDANIEL IS 22, AGE DIFFERENCE 13 YEARS 1900 CENSUS, ZILPHA IS ? & MCDANIEL IS 43, 1910 CENSUS, ZILPHA 75, & MCDANIEL IS 53, AGE DIFFERENCE IS 22 YEARS Ideas???
