I would be interested to know more about the name "Hardy Cain Pace". I understand from earlier posts to this list that the will of William Pace which appears in the 1845 Montgomery Co TN will book mentions a son "Hardy C. Pace". Is there another document which shows that the middle name of the son was "Cain", or is it only surmised? I am trying to phrase my question carefully, because from what I have seen so far, it does not seem to be certain that "William Pace of Robertson County" was the same person as the William Pace who had a wife Sisley. But I may be missing something. Further explanation would be welcome. I am not trying to prove anything, only trying to figure things out.
