That's interesting. I assume you have no objection to my adding it to the "proofs" of Frederick Pace. At least now we know that there was a Pace of that name in the right place in the right time frame.

For those who also have Frederick Paces in this time period, please do not rule out the possibility that the person mentioned in the newspaper article is not yours. However, I am basing this person on supposed son and daughter-in-law's, William and Drucilla Pace, residence in Chesterfield County, SC, on the 1800 census. William's own son, Frederick Pace is too young to be this man. Please feel free to make any comments. Val, please add this to the Pace Society files.
