Lois, my James Pace was in Fluvanna (we've compared notes before), disappearing from the census between 1850 & 1860. I have his date of death as 20 Mar 1858. I suppose that the only way he could have been credited with a slave would have been if they were refering to his estate. There is a deed showing his purchase of 58 1/2 acres from Emily & Champion Bledsoe, on both sides of the road from Central Plains to the Courthouse, in 1848. ( James' wife was Mary P. Champion.) All but 7 acres of this land was sold by the heirs in 1886. My line comes down through James' son Charles Moore Pace who mar. Nannie (Nancy ?) Elizabeth Childress. It appears that James (Lee ?) Pace was the son of William (G. ?) Pace and Lucy Pace (mar. 1805, Goochland Co.). William Pace appears to be the son of Joseph Pace, Jr. (RS) , born 1741, Gooch. Co., and Ann Pace (mar. 1782). Joseph Pace, Jr. was the son of Joseph Pace, Sr., born c. 1698, Middlesex Co., & Ann Basford. Joseph Pace, Sr. was the son of John Pace, of Middlesex Co., born prob. 1665, England. My Paces came to GA in 1918. Kathy Best
