This may not be relevant but it seems interesting. While looking for information about Henning Pace, I came across Henning Tembte, who I had not heard of before. I found an article about Dr Henning Tembte of Nansemond Co VA, by Mary Dean Clement, in the Virginia Mag. of History and Biography, Jan 1957. (The writer does not know Tembte's origins but the surname, at least, doesn't seem to be English; "Henning" is a German name, I believe.) The article describes Tembte's move from Maryland to Nansemond Co. VA, then by 1765 to Halifax Co. VA, where he bought land on Fishing Creek. Tembte's daughter Elizabeth married first Malachi Murden, and then Edmond Daniel. Tembte's daughter Mary married Richard Webb and, yes, named a son Henning. No reason so far to suppose that "Henning Pace" had anything to do with "Henning Tembte", but an interesting series of deed extracts was posted to this list by Betty A. Pace on 8 May 2001, tracing land which was sold by Edmond Daniel and Elizabeth his wife (that would be Malachi Murden's widow) to John Bradford, and subsequently tracing this land (I think -- my error if not) through several transactions to the deed of 1779 in which Major Walker and Stephen Pace sell 160 acres to Jesse Bryant -- signed by both Stephen Pace and Ann Pace, and Ann Pace relinquishes dower.
