17 March 1672/3 York County Inquisition on Escheated lands. Richd Pace on jury that finds Cornelius Johnatan dyed seized of 100 acres and land escheats for Johnathan left noe lawfull heires. The escheated land was granted 26 March 1674 to Daniel Wylde. Daniel Wylde/Wilde/Wild also patented land in York Co jointly with a Philip Chesley. Philip Chesley patented land jointly in York with Robert Wild also (Oct 1653, Nov 1652). A footnote in "Grammar and Mattey Practice and Model School" (Lyon G. Tyler; Wm. and Mary Qrtly., Vol. 4, No. 1) states: "In 1610 Lord Delaware appointed Mr. Daniel Tucker and Mr. Robert Wild clerks of the store at Jamestown. November 24, 1647, appraisement was made of Robert Wild's property in York County. Then in 1655 Robert and Daniel Wild were living in York County, the former of whom (perhaps the father) died before 1662 and left land in York County to the other. ... Captain Philip Chesley married Daniel Wild's sister, Margaret. His will, pr. in 1674, mentions uncle John Wild and cousin Henry Wild." Philip Chesley also patented land jointly in James City Co with Nicholas Meriwether (7 June 1655). This is the Nicholas Meriwether whose daughter Elizabeth married as her second husband Francis Clements (m. Lydia Blighton). Nich. Meriwether's widow married William Browne, see post with subject line "Multiple William Brownes". Nicholas Meriwether's daughter Jane (I can't be sure I'm not mixing up the generations) married Henry Hartwell, whose will proved 2 Aug 1699 names his Hartwell relatives. Hartwell was Clerk of the Council (1672 I think), Burgess (1677), a founding trustee of the College of W&M, and lots of other jobs for the boys. In "The Cradle of the Republic" pp78-79, Lyon G. Tyler describes some of the buildings of James City. Hartwell's home was next to William Edwards Jr, and next to him was the home of James Chudleigh. Chudleigh's wife Ann was Ann Holder, daughter of Richard Holder. Ann Holder married as her first husband William Briscoe Jr, son of the William Briscoe who married the relict of Richard Pace. Whew! The Richard Pace whose widow married William Briscoe Sr was perhaps the same person as the Richard Pace who sat on the jury escheating land for Chesley's brother-in-law Daniel Wild to patent. I wouldn't be surprised. James

We have a John Hartwell Pace in Fluvanna co,Va in the middle to late 1800's, who married Fannie Houchens, and I believe there was another Hartwell Pace. I have a list of the children of John and Fanny. I believe there was a Hartwell Pace earlier. . Can anyone find a Hartwell Pace connection elsewhere?possibly a tie to Henry Hartwell. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please note: My new email address is [email protected] Please remove [email protected] from your address books and files so that we can stay in touch! ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Blair" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 11:57 AM Subject: Re: [PACE] Richard Pace in York Co. > > --- On Wed, 1/14/09, James Blair <[email protected]> wrote: > > To clarify and correct, here is what Tyler says: > > "In that part of the town east of the church tower, first called "New > Towne", the land on Orchard Run had come into the hands of James > Chudleigh, who was the second husband of Ann Holder.

There is a land patent dated 13 September 1664, York County, 100 acres in the name of Richard PAGE: "...said land being formerly granted to Daniel Wyld and by the said Wyld sold unto the said Page..." So in 1664 we have Daniel Wyld selling land to Richard PAGE. And in 1674 (see below) we have Daniel Wyld patenting land lately escheated by a jury which included Richard PACE. Maybe just a coincidence. Or maybe it was the same Richard (either Pace or Page) both times.
