    1. [PACE] Pace, Alsey--Osley/ Aulsey/ Dempsey Olsey, etc.
    2. Hello all, I am posting some information on Alsey Pace b. 1803 son of Henning Pace. I am attempting to correct some errors. If anyone has further information, please let me know. A while back something was said about a man named Wayne Jeffords who had posted a group sheet on Ancestry for a man named Dempsey Osley Pace and his wife Mary Elizabeth Johnston. For the record, Mr. Jeffords was only partially correct. He has the given name wrong, the wife's surname is wrong and there are errors in the list of children. There are still some questions but what I have listed below is what appears to be correct to date. The man Mr. Jeffords was attempting to document is Alsey Pace born about 1803 son of Henning Pace and Martha Bradshaw. Alsey is just plain Alsey. There is a photo posted on line on the Stone County MO County pages listed as the family of Osley Pace. The name was either pronounced wrong or a written "A" is mistaken for an "O". The photo is identified as Margaret Pace Rickman, Martha Ann Pace Johnson, Isabella Pace Rickman, John Gideon Pace, and Catherine Luretta Pace Woods. The name Dempsey Mr. Jeffords picked up was Alsey's brother who was born about 1815. Alsey Pace (1803) wife was Mary Johnson daughter of Duncan Johnson. The Paces moved from Wilson County TN to Madison County TN by 1822. The family of Duncan Johnson apparently also moved from Wilson County. Alsey and Mary Johnson were married 27 Jun 1824, according to a published newspaper account in Madison County TN and posted on line. Alsey died about 1849, Mary is living Lawrence County MO 1850. Alsey and Mary's Children: There may be two sets of twins. 1. Margaret McNeal Pace b about 1827 marr Elisha Baker Rickman 2. Henning*** Pace b. about 1827 Marriage Henning E. to Malany Wood 31 Aug 1851 Lawrence Co. MO 3. Martha Ann Pace b. Feb 1832; marr Fleming Johnson---she eventually went back to Benton Co. AR 4. John Gideon Pace b. abt 1833 did not marry, died Benton County AR bur Buttram's Chapel Cemetery 5. Louretta Catharine b. 14 Feb 1835 married Page Monroe Woods 6. Alexander**** Pace b. abt 1838 7. Joel S. Pace b. abt 1838 apparently died early 8. William Pace b. abt 1842 apparently died early 9. Isabella J. "Cisley" Pace b. 13 Jan 1849 marr. Nelson W. Rickman ***1850 listed this man as Edmund: The following year 13 Aug 1851 Henning E. Pace m. Malany Wood. all other census records give him as Henning W. Pace. It is possible this Henning was not listed with his mother in 1850, born about 1825-6 and not counted in 1850, in which case there is a child Edmund who disappeared after 1850. ****If Alexander Pace is Duncan Alexander Pace he married Tirzah Ann Banks in Washington County AR and moved to Texas.
