A little googling produces the result that yes, they can extract Y chromosome DNA from bones, but this DNA deteriorates more rapidly than other types and is harder to get pure samples. There is a controversy over whether Columbus was actually born in Genoa, as the books say, or whether he may have been born in northern Spain. They are trying to get Y chromosome DNA to find out, but one difficulty is making sure they have his bones and not someone else's, and secondly, the problem of deterioration. That's where I found a lot of information on how they do it. Here is the site: http://www.christopher-columbus.eu/dna-tests.htm And here is a quote: DNA from y-chromosomes is much more scarce than the mitochondrial kind and deteriorates more rapidly. The team is using Hernando's because that of his alleged father is in bad shape. Lorente and company want to see if the DNA pattern in Columbus' y-chromosome still shows up in men in either Catalonia or Italy, Here is a site that explains how it is done: http://www.dczogbi.com/dna.html Yes, it would be interesting to see some DNA from bones at that site, but I have no idea how we would get the results to transfer over and compare with out Pace DNA. There would of course be no way to tell initially if the bones were Pace bones but if there was a match with our I results, that would tell us. It's fascinating to think about but I have serious doubts whether it will transpire or how we or FTDNA could get the results. The archaeologists would need some reason of their own to extract the DNA--they wouldn't do it just to see if they are Pace bones--and I don't know what that would be. It sounds like a fairly expensive process.

Yes, you are correct, it would quadruple the area; but, the lineal measurement would only have been doubled, which is what I meant to say. That said, if the wrong formula were used, it would still cover the whole neck of land from Powell's Creek eastward past Windmill Point and then some. Thanks for the correction.

Shirl, Thank you for making those contacts. They sound as if there should be interesting results. Way back in 1988 I wrote to the Fluvanna Co., VA, courthouse for info on my Paces. (Results below.) On the second letter from Mr. Richard F. George, Clerk, he wrote again to say that he had just realized that his mother's brother, William J. Goodwin, married Kathleen Pace, dau. of Champion H. Pace, whose wife was a Johnson. They lived on the old Evergreen farm, which was once owned by the Johnsons. Mr. George had visited there when very young. Mr. and Mrs. Pace had been dead for many years and also William J. Goodwin and wife Kathleen Pace Goodwin. They left three children : Kathryn Reeves (Rinker), William and Eddie. There was a cemetery almost on the edge of the yard with some very old and tall tombstones, probably a Johnson cemetery. Enclosed in his letter was a copy of the Marriage License for Champion H Pace and Miss. Catharin M Johnson, 30 June 1900. The marriage date was recorded as July 1, 1900, with the husband being 43 and the bride 27, both single, both born Fluvanna and residing there. The husband's parents were given as James M. (?) Pace and M. P. Pace. The wife's parents were J. J. and Maggie Johnson. The husband was a farmer. I was so glad to receive this. Perhaps I had better go to another posting for the first reply from Mr. George.

The wrong formula would result in quadrupling the area, not doubling it. Example: 100 Chains (33') squared equals 250 acres, 100 Chains (66') squared equals 1000 acres.

Shirl, Thank you for that rich info on your Childresses. I'm afraid, after making my copy, it got deleated, and I'm not able to put it on line word for word. ( also my scanner doesn't work at the moment) To sum up: Your g-g-grandparents were Nancy Lewis Herndon (dau. of Lewis Herndon who lived just outside Scottsville, VA) and Benjamin Franklin Childress who worked in Scottsville as a boat builder for a Mr. Tutwiler. Your line was from their dau., Mary Susan Childress, who mar. John Willis Minter Sr. and their oldest dau., Nannie Scruggs Minter, who mar. James Madison Johnson of Shores VA. Your good documentation is the Bible pages on file at the VA Library and her death shown in the Andrew Jackson Seay Daily Journal, written at Shores at Melrose. This last reference saying that he went to her funeral, etc. Her burial place was given as the home cemetery behind the Herndon Home near Scottsville. Now to continue with the generations: (written by my Grandmother, Nannie Elizabeth Childress, 1934) Charles M. Pace married Oct. 14, 1880, Nannie Elizabeth Childress. Charles M. Pace born Sept. 8, 1852. Nannie Elizabeth Childress born June 27, 1866. Children: Alberta, born Mar. 15, 1883, mar. Sept. 26, 1905, Hammon Hulver.

Here is a PACE obit that appeared in the Marion Chronicle Tribune in Grant County, Indiana, Sat. March 13, 2010. Thought it might be of interest to someone searching the PACE line. HAROLD L. PACE, Mar.2,1946 - Mar. 9, 2010, 64y, d. Mar. 9, 2010, in Auburn, Ind. He was born in MUncie, Ind. to the late Harold Leroy and Helen (Kin) Pace. Harold lived most of his life in Converse. He married Loretta Garber on Aug. 16, 1969. She survives. He was a US Army Vietnam Veteran. Survivors include his wife, Lretta Pace, : children, Katherine Cornett, Sweetser, Schares (Cheryl) Pace, Bippus, Ind., Lelia (Jason) Bowland, Amboy,Ind., Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Burial will be in Gardens of Memory, Huntington Co., Ind. ( I have shortened the obit, giving the most important info. if anyone would like the full obit, just let me know) Jackie in Grant Co. Ind.

Shirl, Lois Carey had forwarded your e-mail to me, knowing that I am of the line of Benjamin Franklin Childress and Elizabeth Herndon, according to some family pages handed down from my grandmother, Nannie Elizabeth Childress Pace. This Elizabeth Herndon appears to be your Nancy Lewis Herndon, because your Mary Susan Childress appears as one of their childlren. What do y ou think? My line comes down through another daughter, Elizabeth, shown to have married Charles M. (Moore) Pace, my grandfather. I have the family Bible for the Charles Moore Pace family. Their son, Harvey Beckwith Pace was my father, coming down from Fluvanna Co., VA, in 1918, with part of that family, while some has already arrived, here in the Atlanta, GA area, the community of Clarkston. I don't quite understand the viriation in the name of Nancy Lewis/Elizabeth Herndon. I have run into it before. Perhaps Nancy was a nick-name for Elizabeth. (?) These are the children listed for Benjamin Franklin Childress & Elizabeth Herndon Childress: Christopher Columbus William (Billy) Virginia Susan (Sue) Kate Benjamin Franklin Nannie Elizabeth Annie The marriages and families are given and I shall post those on another e-mail. Champion Pace was the son of grandfather Charles Moore Pace, who married Mary Champion. I shall post those other children and families. So nice to be in touch with you. Kathy Pace Best

In 1810 Census Polly listed as age 25-44. Oldest children were 2 females age 10-15. Using the oldest as a gauge, her daughter would have been born 1795. If Polly was 20 when she was born, which would have been old for the times, Polly would have been born 1775. John was age 42 on 1850 census placing his birth year at 1808 which corresponds with 1810 census when Polly is listed as having 2 sons under 10. John Pace was the father of Mary who married Albert Redwine. In the 1850 Albert and Mary are just 3 houses away from John and Sahah/Sally Ely Pace. In John Paces deed to William Cawood in 1854, A.T. Redwine was a witness. Albert and Mary named a son John. she also named a son William, presumably after her grandfather William Ely. Some people list Mary as a daughter of Simeon Pace, John's brother; however there is no evidence that she was. There is much more evidence she was a daughter of John John Pace -------------------------------------------------- From: "Janet Roberson" <morgwynn@yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 4:14 PM To: <pace@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [PACE] (no subject) > It is believed that Mary is the daughter John Pace and Sarah Ely.
