Thanks for mentioning the Lane connection. It is interesting, but something does seem to be wrong. So often the same given names recur in different branches of the same family -- it may be something like that. Or my brain going, which is also a possibility. But also, at least one online abstract of Thomas Howell's will calls her "Patience Pearce", not "Patience Pace". (http://www.jhowell.com/tng/showsource.php?sourceID=S1378&tree=1). Then further down on the same page she comes out as "Patience Fair". It must either be hard to read in the original, or the various transcribers were having a bad day. I will leave her as Patience ___________.
