Apparently Ann Pace was Stephen Pace's wife and Major Walker's daughter, since she relinquished her dower rights in the land that was being sold. More than that I do not know. I speculate that because Stephen Pace was evidently in the same area as the Tembte/Murden/Webb/Daniel families (in which "Henning" occurs as a given name), there could be some connection to William Pace of Montgomery Co TN who mentions his son Henning in his will written 1829. But that's merely speculation. Sorry not to be able to provide any more information.
