Clarence Alexander Pace and John Harrison Pace (b. 1872) were the two eldest sons of John Blackburn Pace according to the online history. I have seen that particular one also. I noted that I have checked census records and it looked ok, as far as census records show. Another candidate for the service in the Spanish American War is John B. Pace born July 1875 Benton County AR, son of Milton Pace and Mary Jane Maxwell; grandson of Christopher Stump Pace. A comment or two further about the Alsey Pace family: John Blackburn Pace is the son of Edmund Alsey Pace. Edmund Alsey was born 22 Nov 1811 probably Davidson County, TN. Edmund son of Alsey Pace and Sally Stump. The other son was Christopher Stump Pace of Benton County Arkansas. The information on line in that family tree you quoted appears ok for the family of John Blackburn Pace, but has errors beyond him. Alsey Pace was born in Franklin County NC; place of death is not known. At the time he died he was enlisted in the Army, his unit was probably with Andrew Jackson. We do not know where Alsey died. The death date will be between 9 Jan 1813 and before 9 Feb 1813. His estate was admitted to probate in Robertson County TN 9 Feb 1813, I have a copy of the original record. (so he could not have died in 1815.) Birth date is uncertain. I have it between 1770-1780. Alsey's wife was Sally Stump. She has no middle name. I know where the error concerning the middle name came from--it dates back to the early to mid 1970's, and was admitted as an error but the harm was already done before it was caught. As everyone knows it is almost impossible to get rid of errors. Shirley Pace Graham In a message dated 4/20/2010 6:57:46 P.M.
