I may have the wrong information here. The date of birth I have got for James Pace (son of William Pace and Ruth Lambert) is Jan 23 1778. According to Pritchett (Southside Virginia Genealogies), the William Lambert who had land in Wake Co was born in Richmond Co, 18 Nov 1743 (Pritchett cites North Farnham Parish Register). If that's correct, William Lambert would be 35 when James Pace was born. Kind of young to be a grandfather. And from what I've read, James Pace is believed to have had older siblings, the oldest born around 1771. In 1771, according to Pritchett, William Lambert was 28. Even if Lambert started fathering children long before the law allowed, it seems unlikely he would become a grandfather by such a young age. James James
