Please notice the address of the sender on the PACE Rootsweb board below. Since this person is interested and may be in a position to add some valuable information through his studies and position, being a graduate student, May I suggest to answer his posting on the PACE Rootsweb board. I've already replied, encouraging him to join this list.

For my masters thesis I am researching the 17th century occupation of Maycock's Point in Prince George County, which was excavated by a professor in this department from 1970-71. Based upon the artifact analysis to date, the structure in our collection appears to be that occupied by George Pace and Sarah Maycock from the 1630s-1660s/70s. As some of you may know the documentary records from this period of colonial history are fragmentary at best. While I will be continuing my search for family records on this site and others like it in the near future, any assistance you may be able to provide about the Samuel Maycock/George Pace families during the seventeenth century will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the assistance.
Copyright means you do need the author's permission. Is Bruce Howard's book still available to order? If so, perhaps the college would buy a copy for its library. Ellen
The copyright in Howard's book states: "Copyright reserved by the author on all material contained in this book, except those parts which are excerpts of, or transcripts of official records. It shall be unlawful for anyone to use or copy any copyrightable material, contained in this book, electronically or by any other means whatsoever without the written permission of the author." So, I read that all the official records, source documents are free to use without permission. It's his original wording, thoughts, and ideas that are protected by copyright. Also, if I understand the copyright for books, if your only intention is to quote the author properly (giving proper credit, footnotes, etc..) then you're not infringing any copyright laws. The key here is to stop someone from plagiarizing your work and calling it their own. I may be out to lunch, but that's the way I always understood it. In this case however, I agree, it would be very easy to email Bruce and get his permission.

Charles PEARSON R8244, Tenn. #21324 rejected 3 June 1830 and Charles PIERSON S3695 West Tenn. #13724 $60.00/year issued 6 June 1833 Note: These are two separate files, but relate to the same man. This apparently is an error in the pension office. 28 Feb. 1827Charles PEARSON (also PIERSON) states he is 70 years of age. He enlisted at Northhampton Court House, North Carolina in 1776 under Capt. Hardin PACE (?) and Col. Edwin EDMISTON(?) in the Continental Line.

A document of some importance was provided to me by a cousin, Nina Williams. According to information in the form of photocopies of records on file with the National Archives of the Federal Government, John R. Pace filed for a land bounty for service in the War of 1812. His claim was acted on in March 19, 1856. Claims # 33904 for 80 acres was issued to him but never received. In 1856 he was apparently a resident of Panola County, Texas. He then, evidently, returned to Tennessee. John R. Pace was a son of William Pace, Sr. and Sisely Walker. Quoting from the government record, He testified that he was the identical John Pace who was a Sergeant in the Company Commanded by Captain John Weekly (sic) in the Twenty Third Regiment of Militia Commanded by Colonel Cock (sic) in the war with Great Britain Declared by the United States on the 18th Day of June 1812 and that he was Drafted at Springfield Robertson County Tenn on or about the 12th day of November 1814 for the term of six months and was honourably Discharged at Nashville on the 13th day of May 1815 as will Appear (sic). Here is some information regarding the Unit John Pace enlisted' into. It shows that he participated in the historic Battle of New Orleans in 1815, and that the term of enlistment roughly corresponds to the dates of the formation and dissolution of the 2nd Regiment of the Tennessee Militia.

They were part of the flotilla that went down to New Orleans via the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers. The Nashville Clarion of 21 February 1815 mentions that Captain John Weakly, of Montgomery County, was at the breastworks of Jackson's line at New Orleans during the battle of 8 January.

Colonel Cocke was sheriff of Montgomery County at the time of war. He is not to be confused with Major General John Cocke of East Tennessee who commanded the 1st Division and was counterpart to Andrew Jackson ‑‑ Jackson commanding the 2nd Division. ************************************* I have suggested to members of my family that the following song be made our family song. Certainly, the little trip' down the Mississippi River Horton refers to in his version of the song was not little, but monumental. Remember, they traveled from Nashville to New Orleans in the dead of winter. I must say the business of "a little trip down the Mighty Mississip" is certainly an understatement. It seems to me to have been a first class military maneuver based on some solid intelligence. Ref: http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Lyrics/1959/21959a.html The Battle of New Orleans Johnny Horton ‑Music and lyrics by Jimmy Driftwood In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. CHORUS: We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more and they began to runnin' on Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. We looked down the river and we see'd the British come. And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum. They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring. We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. CHORUS Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well. Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well ~~~ CHORUS **Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go. They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.** We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down. So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind. CHORUS Repeat ** Hup 2, 3, 4. Sound off 3, 4.... Hup 2, 3, 4. Sound off 3, 4.... Hup 2, 3, 4 Let me make a comment or two. The military intelligence demonstrated by the act of forming military units, and in the dead of winter, making a perilous journey up the Cumberland, down the Ohio and then the Mississippi River, all to arrive a New Orleans in time to meet a British invasion, is stunning in my mind. The fact that the American victory at New Orleans was fairly one-sided, meaning little American causality makes the military planning even more remarkable. Secondly, I must ask why he waited so long to make a claim. I have previously suggested that he may have remarried, and thus it was his second wife who provided the impetus to file a claim. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Anyone searching for Ancestors that emigrated to America may find this site useful. http://www.castlegarden.org/ "CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 73 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period." I found several of my people by searching for the surname in a time range. Betty Pace

If you can, besides posting to the list, please e mail them directly at _Bpruitt863@aol.com_ (mailto:Bpruitt863@aol.com) Julie I know little about John H. Pace other than the fact that he was born in Texas and married my great-aunt, Mary Etta Tabor. They were married July 24, 1890 in Jack County, Texas. In 1910, they lived in Roger Mills County, Okla., with their two children, William, 18, and Dessie, 8. In 1930, they lived in Payne County, Okla. I somehow missed them in the 1920 census and need to do more research. John H. Pace was a farm laborer who was born about 1870. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
Bird Hensley Jr. was born July 9, 1921 in Harlan Co, KY to Bird Hensley Sr and Elva Pace. Elva was a daughter of Simeon Pace and descended through Jesse Pace. Staff Sergeant Bird Hensley died on October 31, 1950 in Korea. He was taken a Prisoner of War while engaged with the enemy in Korea on July 10, 1950, forced to march to North Korea on the "Tiger Death March", and died while a prisoner during the march near Manpo, North Korea on Oct. 31, 1050. His remains were not recovered. For his leadership and valor, he was awarded the Bronz Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Prisoner of War Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal. In a correspondence with Jack Goodwin of Waco TX, a fellow P.O.W. on the same death march which totaled 800 men, I was told that 65% of our prisoners died from starvation. If anyone on the list has a picture of Bird, please forward me a copy so I can send it to Mr. Goodwin to be included in his book. Thank you. John Pace
The following email written by an American in Wisconsin is from ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com and well explains the traditional PACE EGG story my aunts and grandmother used to tell me, when I was young. GPace Ontario Can The April edition of the English magazine, "The Countryman" was delivered earlier this week and in an article "The evolution of the humble Easter Egg" by Christine Bloxham she explains. In her final paragraph, and I quote, "The introduction of chocolate Easter eggs and decrease in Church going has led to a decline in decoration of Easter eggs." The modern chocolate eggs are a invention, most probably by Mr. Cadbury, but based on the age old tradition of decorating eggs by various means ranging from the elaborate from Eastern Europe to the simply colouring of eggs. The North of England had their "Pace (or paschal) Eggs" with a saying counting down the days to Pace-egg day " Tid, mid, miseray. Carlin, Palm and Pace egg day." Pace eggs were "eggs stained with various colours in boiling and sometimes covered with gold leaf". Eggs were rolled down a hill and after they were found they were "jarped" together which was a game similar to conkers but the egg held in the hand. After this game the eggs were eaten. Pace eggs could also be decorated with scraps of coloured fabric. In Slovenia and Romania red eggs were known as love apples. Eggs were sent by girls, on Good Friday for a blessing by the Priest, dyed red on Saturday and given to the fancied boy on Easter Sunday with the belief the love would be fulfilled. In medieval days, the days of Lent and the abstaining from certain foods meant that for six weeks eggs were not eaten, allowing a breeding period for the poultry. At Easter, at the end of Lent, eggs could once again be eaten so the link with eggs and Easter was established. Eggs have been used to symbolize other events such as rolling of eggs being the stone rolling away from the tomb of Jesus. Of decorated eggs being given to women who wanted to begin a pregnancy. To egg rolling races being used to identify which young maiden would become the next to be married. Here in the mid-west of the US many churches hold colored egg searches where the children search for hidden eggs. We will be having our grandchildren over on Sunday and they too will search the house or the garden , depending on the weather, for the hidden colored eggs. Although we were brought up in the English chocolate egg tradition we find the search and find traditional activity far more to our liking and non-candy gifts better for the recipients. Many were the customs and many the countries in which eggs were usedin celebrations. The article in "The Countryman" by Christine Bloxham describes many others egg traditions, typical of the excellence of the magazine in which the present and past English countryside is featured. I have no connection with the magazine except by my subscription. John Favill, Wisconsin, USA

Darlene Pace some EXCERPT Due to mining the coal in those Ky Mt. He is a colorful writer... The hillbilly is a mountaineer without mountains, and the gullies of erosion in his spirit and soul are as evident as are the gaping wounds in the hills around him. The visible parallel of simultaneous destruction of hill and human being is shattering.. A mountaineer when asked how his ancestors came to this place answered, "They walked."True, they walked. But as they walked they fought the Choctaw, the Shawnee, the wild animals, and each other. In a country where only the most savage could survive, the mountaineer survived. His historic enemies are dead and gone. The mountaineer was a savage man because his heritage was savagery. Of English, Scottish, and Irish descents, he came, not as a clean cut, wholesome, educated explorer, but as a man scarred by years of abuse. By 1800 there were hundreds of such settlers across the Kentucky mountains. Each family was an entity to itself; it provided its own vegetables and meat, treated its own wounds and ills, killed its own enemies, made its own corn whiskey. http://www.tcnet.net/ky/knox/Doc1.html
