Still trying to catch up on what evidence has been found to identify William Pace of Robertson Co TN (will dated 6 Nov 1829) as being the same person as the William Pace who married Sisley Walker. I understand that Henning Pace (son of William Pace of Robertson County whose will is dated 6 Nov 1829) named a daughter Sisley Walker Pace. That would be pretty persusave evidence in support of the theory that the child's grandmother was Sisley Walker, IF there is proof that this particular Henning Pace (son of Wm Pace of Robertson Co) really did give a daughter that particular name. Anyone know of such proof? Unfortunately, middle names are so often "gifted" to infants not by their parents but by family historians anxious to clarify what they believe to be the child's lineage, that they are not much use as evidence (in my admittedly amateur opinion) unless there is solid proof that it really was the parents' idea to give them that name.
