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
