According to Bruce Howard's "Our Colonial Ancestors," p. 75, there was a jury list in York Co. in March 1672/73 which contained the name of Richard Pace. Mr. Howard cites "Inquisitions on Escheated Lands. York Co. Va., p. 202. 4th April 1673." He weaves this into the narrative of the comings and goings across counties of Richard Pace m. Mary, and holds it as proof that this Richard Pace was a landowner in York Co. since only freeholders were allowed to serve on juries. Bruce Howard seems to think that this was the same Richard Pace as in Charles City Co./Surry Co. (final boundary not decided til Sept. 1689). Though Mr. Howard's opinions do not a fact make, a juryman had to be at least 21 (correct?) so if not Richard m. Mary, then what Richard, again is the reasonable question. - Joyce -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Christensen [mailto:rchristen@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 7:56 AM To: PACE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACE-L] William Corker headright grant While this is being discussed, it should be remembered that this transcription does not imply that Richard Pace was transported into the colony in 1660 nor does it mean that Richard Pace lived in in York County nor does it give us any indication of Richard Pace's age, nor does it indicate that this Richard Pace was even living in 1660. It also doesn't mean that all 25 people came into the colony at the same time. The below is stating that in 1660 William Corker received land that happens to be located in York County (the location of the land - not necessarily Richard Pace's location). William Corker was submitting his paperwork for the transportation of a Richard Pace into the colony at some time before 1660. This Richard Pace could have come 20 years earlier, for example. We have no way of knowing when he came to the colony other than it was sometime before 1660.

17 March 1672/3 York County Inquisition on Escheated lands. Richd Pace on jury that finds Cornelius Johnatan dyed seized of 100 acres and land escheats for Johnathan left noe lawfull heires. Two weeks later: 3 April 1673 Fleet V. 3 page 316, Charles City County Court Records page 521 Attchment to Hubert Farrell agst Richard pace for 302 pounds of pork, 336 pounds tobacco he ret'd "nmon est inventus" [whatever that means] Also judgt to Capt. Hubert Farrerl in right of Dorothy his wife "daughter and heyresse of her father Thomas Drew." Would the same man be on a jury in York County on 17 March and a jury in Charles City County on 3 April, I wonder? Does anyone know whether this is likely or unlikely?
