I withdrew the request for funding on this one as it goes back to a female, but I am wondering if is might not be a good idea to get this DNA as it might answer some of our questions about the non-matching Paces. There may be others who go back to this line and do not know it. I am seeking advice. Roy The line in question: My brother is Leonard Theodore Pace of Harkers Island, NC(near MOrehead City and Atlantic Beach). My address is Ida Paulette PACE Saunders 2856 Flag Rd. Chesapeake, VA 23323 My brother was born 7 August 1951 in Watts Hospital Durham, NC His first heart bypass was done in Raleigh in 1990. His second heart bypass was done in New Bern, NC in 2004. HE has been married 2x and his present wife is Sallie Pace and there have been no children of either marriage. My father was Elton Barden Pace b. 15 DEc. 1921 in Nash Co. d. 19 April 1998 in Durham, NC at Veterans Hospital wife Pauline Velna STARLING Pace b. 31 May 1921 in Wayne Co. NC My grandfather was Leonard Pace b. Johnston Co. NC in 1879 in Jo. Co., NC d. 1927 in Nash Co., NC. wife Nettie Celeste DEANS Pace b. Nash Co. NC d. 1941 in Durham, NC My ggrandfather MCDaniel Pace was born Jo. Co. NC in 1855 and married Harriette WAll Pace in Jo. Co. NC in 1879. He was acknowledged in his grandfather's will in Jo. CO. NC I just located the will this year. John's Daughter was also in census and the will. She (Zilpha Pace) is McDaniel Pace's mother without marriage. I have the father's name also but will include that with family history to Valerie. Zilpha's father and McDaniel Pace's grandfather was John Pace b. 1799 to either Stephen Pace or Stephen Pace's daughter without marriage. John Pace married Edney BATTEN Pace in Jo. CO. NC in 1821 and their children were born over period of 20 plus years and Zilpha was next to last as best I have found. When I learned these things this year it meant that an extra generation had been located because it had always been thought that John Pace b. @ 1799 was McDaniel Pace father. It appears this connects us to John Pace of Middlesex, VA and then to Richard of Jamestown. I have been on the land owned by Richard and Isabella Pace of Jamestown(James City County) later in Surry Co. VA I have located their son's iheritance of this land and the statement of the Grant to Richard and Isabella. I have pictures of the monument to Pace and his Indian companion's contribution to the saving of Jamestown by getting word across the James River and notifying as many of the settlers as could be and saving as many lives as possible during the massacre of 1623. This I am writing without my paper work so my upstairs memory bank may be a little off but is the best I can do at the library today. I will try to donate $25.00 because I would like very much to add this family line and history to be of what benefit it can to PACE History. Thank you for your help and response. Ida PACE Saunders
