After seeing the name of one of Lawrence House linked with Melton and (maybe) Pace in two records, I had a look to see what other Pace-linked surnames I could find mentioned in conjunction with Richard Pace's sons-in-law in Brunswick Co. The following records seem to me to suggest a possible link between the John Pace who married Ann Russell (and named a son Twitty Pace) and Richard Pace's son-in-law Charles Stewart: James Stewart's will, proved 24 Aug 1767, Brunswick Co. Among other legacies, 25 shillings to the children of his brother, Charles Stewart, dec'd. (Charles Stewart married Ann Pace, daughter of Richard and Rebecca Pace, mentioned in Richard Pace's will.) The inventory of James Stewart's personal estate was taken by Thomas Twitty and Richard Johnson, and presented 25 Feb 1768 before William Clack, justice. William Clack was married to Elizabeth Twitty Oct 16 1757 Brunswick Co, according to report; Thomas Twitty jr signed the bond. Thomas Twitty stood bond 7 Dec 1750, according to report, when John Russell m. Sarah Edmundson in Brunswick. Wit. was William Clack. John Russell stood bond 26 Nov 1769, according to report, when John Pace m. Ann Russell. So I thought that was interesting. Next question: if it was a John Pace who witnessed the Wilburn-Oliver indenture, might he have been the John Pace who married Ann Russell? I'm not very familiar with these records -- would be grateful for correction of any errors in the above. James
