Currently, I think we all have concluded that we do not know if Richard's mother Sarah Maycock is the widow of Samuel Maycock OR his daughter....right? However, according to my knowledge, the following details regarding these same documents have not been addressed. I understand most of you already have these documents, my purpose for including them again is just in case someone new later finds them in the archives they will know what/who we are talking about. Re: 1. April 25, 1659: "I Ric'd Pace Sonne and heire apparent of mr. George Pace of the Com: of Charles Citty att Mount Mar. in VA, and sonn and heire as the first issue of my mother Mrs. Sarah Macocke wife unto my aforesd father (being both dec'd) do hereby by these presents...confirme and allow of the sale of eight or nine hundred acres of land... sold by my dec'd father mr. George pace unto mr. Thomas Drewe." [from Bruce Howards book]. 2. And also this one that reads a little differently and has no date that the transaction took place: "There is a deed in the Charles City Co., records by which "Richard Pace, son and heire as the first issue of my mother, Mrs. Sarah Maycock, wife unto my aforesaid father, both deced", confirms a sale of 800 or 900 acres "lying near unto Pierce's Hundred als Flowerdieu Hundred" to Mr. Thomas Drew as per of his father Oct. 12, 1650. [from Sarah Maycock Brewer] Questions: 1. Richard is son & heir of 1st issue.......then who did Sarah marry after George Pace died and who were the 2nd issue of children? [Customarily "first issue" would mean another marriage that produced other children...right?] 2. Or in this case could "first issue" simple mean Richard was the oldest son and heir apparent? 3. When did George and Sarah die? [Evidenty they were both dead by 1659]. I have an undocumented claim that George died 1665 but apparently that can not be correct? ~Kathlynn~
