    3. When Richard Pace "with consent of my wife Mary Pace" sold land to Richard Taylor (13 March 1662 Charles City Co), The deed was witnessed by Caesar Walpole, John (X Hobbs, John ffloriday, and John Daniell. As posted to this list by James Pace (post dated 26 July 2006), Ann Baker, widow of Richard Baker, petitioned the vestry of Westover Parish, shortly after Baker's death, requesting tax relief for her son William Floriday. It appears Floridays were still around (and still struggling financially) in 1738. The following is from an entry by Michael Tutor on the Poythress list 16 Dec 2005: On October 10, 1738, in Prince George County, in the action on the cases brought by William Poythress and Francis Poythress, executors of the last Will and testament of John Fitzgerald, deceased, against William Floriday for £6, 9 shillings, 7 pence current money due by accounts the defendant came into court and being ruled to Special Bails, and failing, on the motion of the plaintiff's attorney it was ordered that the defendant be taken into custody of the Sheriff and safely kept until he shall give such bail. (PG Minute Book 1738-41 p194 (I think). John Fitzgerald is said to have married Elizabeth Poythress, daughter of John Poythress and Christian Peebles. (Not proved). Among other interesting connections, he was appointed administrator of the estate of Thomas Clay, son of Charles Clay and Hannah Willson; Hannah Willson being the sister of the Willson daughter who married Thomas Lowe and became the mother of William Lowe. William Lowe's daughter Elizabeth married a Pace, probably John Pace the son of Richard and Mary. James
