Clyde: I have a very large database of Paces which contains 9 William Franklin Paces, all descendants of the Colonial Virginia Paces. The only one who settled in Cole Co, MO was the one you mentioned, a son of Joseph Griffin Pace b 11/8/1832 IL and Margaret Murray Riggs, m. in 1856. He was a son of John R. Pace b. 4/18/1790 and Emily Taylor. This goes back three more generations to John Pace of Middlesex, b. 1665 in Shropshire, England. I am fairly certain that this William Franklin Pace was your dirct ancestor. I do not know who his wife or children were. You mentioned that their might be a problem because you have the names of two wives for this William Franklin Pace. However, you did not mention either of their names. It is course possible that he had two wives. I would like to know who the children were of this William Franklin Pace and I can send you the details of his ancestry if you are interested. Gordon W.

I'm new to the Pace Society and to this site. My background is primarily from Missouri, Cole County and I can go back to William Frank Pace, Cole County (My great-grandfather). But there it stops/changes/disappears. I can locate a William Franklin Pace (from Joseph Griffin Pace and Margaret Murray), but my great-grandfather William Frank Pace married Phoebe Isabel Glenn, they had Clyde William Pace (my grandfather) who married Mary Rose Agnes Dirckx, they had my father Clyde Wilson Pace, Jr who married Sarilou Smart, then I came along. >Obviously, the area of concern is William Frank Pace and William Franklin Pace, both showing identical Cole County birth and death dates, but with two different wives... if this is not the proper forum for these types of questions, I apologize. >Thanks, >Clyde > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PACE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
