Having seen mention of the Richard Pace on the 1670 tithables list, thought I'd add that he was also on the lists in 1668 & 1669. Excerpts from each follow. Why he was listed each time with Francis Sorsby, I do not know. Did they live on the same plantation, etc.? - Joyce 1668: A List of Tythables taken by me subscribed ye. 10th. June 1668. Tho. Sowersby............................01 Ffrancis Sorsby, Pace & 1 Sarvt...03 signed Wm. BROWNE 1669: A List of tythables taken by me subscribed ye. 6th. June 1669. Fran. Sorsby & Rich. Pace ...02 signed Will. BROWNE 1670: A List of tythables taken by Me subscribed ye. 7th, June 1670 Ffra. Sorsby & Rich. Pace ...02 signed Wm. BROWNE [jhh note, the earlier section for this year seems to indicate that these are names taken from "ye Lower p:te of Southwarke p:ish taken in June 1670"] One source is: Weynette Parks Haun, compiler, Surry County, Virginia Court Records (Deed Book I) 1664-1671, Book II (Durham, NC:,) I've also xeroxed many, many pages of sequential years of these tithables lists from older issues from one of the "Virginia" magazines, but don't have the folder handy at the moment so can't cite with certainty. - jhh

They all seem to have been associated, though exactly how is not clear to me. 4 Sept 1682, Surry County Records Book 1 and 2 page 321: Estate of Lt. Coll. Geo. Jordan. In a list of 108 names is Richard Pace followed by An Scorby, also on list Catrina Sorsby and Thomas Soworby. The will of George Jordan (1682) was witnessed by William Browne and Robert Spencer. Robert Spencer was married to a Jane Browne. Jane Browne Spencer married (2) Thomas Jordan, nephew of Col. George Jordan. Two daughters, Jane and Mary. Mary married Francis Sowersby. Thomas Jordan married (2) Lucy Corker, daughter of the William Corker who claimed a Richard Pace as headright. Sorry for the lack of dates and sources. Picked up all over the place, just trying to sort it out. It's beginning to seem to me very likely that some of the records in Surry County which mention "Richard Pace" could refer to the Richard Pace who was claimed as a headright by William Corker.
