These are some notes I made a long time ago in looking at a timeline.... Was trying to get my Bradford timeline in order.... 1628 George Pace, "son and heir apparent to Richard Pace, decd." on 1 September, 1628 received a patent "to the plantation called 'Paces Paines', granted his father 5 December, 1620; westward on land of his mother Isabella Perry; East on land of Francis Chapman now in the tenure of William Perry, gent., his father-in-law (step father), and north upon the main river; 100 acres due for the personal adventure of his father Richard Pace and 300 acres for the transportation of four persons." Where was George 1635 to 1650??? If George did marry a Maycocke why would he have bought this land? He would already have owned it. THE below patent IS the same land. In 1650, George Pace obtained a grant for 1,700 acres for 34 headrights. 1 Aug. 1650, p. 252.

OFF TOPIC but interaction between Pace/Bradford ancestral families went back a long way before Brunswick Co. COMMENT: Tangled roots. FRANCES WARD, [wife of William Barker, mariner & owner of Merchant's Hope, Flowerdew Hundred] was married to Netherland and Drew. She was the Mother of SARAH BARKER who married RICHARD TAYLOR (Sarah also married Robert Lucy & Capt. James Bisse), and Grandmother of FRANCES TAYLOR who married RICHARD BRADFORD. RICHARD PACE, II is the son of George Pace and Sarah Pace. Richard Pace, II was born in latter part of 1637 in Virginia. This relationship is firmly established by Richard’s 1655 guardianship records: 'Richard Pace, the orphan and heire of George Pace, dec’d.' Richard Pace, at the age of around seventeen, inherited 1,700 acres of land. Being a minor but over the age of fourteen, Richard had the right to choose his own guardian and he chose William Baugh. Immediately upon coming of age, Richard Pace filed a confirmation of his father’s sale of 800 or 900 acres to Thomas Drew. This document had been drawn up on June 4, 1655 while Richard was still a minor and was rerecorded on May 9, 1659.

Both of these deeds were only signed by Richard which probably indicates that he was unmarried at the time. 1661/62 On March 13, 1661/62, Richard Pace 'with consent of my wife Mary' sold an unspecified number of acres to Richard Taylor. NOTE: RICHARD TAYLOR was the Father-in-Law of RICHARD BRADFORD. Just info...... Becky
