I think this is fairly well known: Richard III b. 1661, Sarah b. 1662, George b. abt 1663, Elizabeth b. 1664, James b. 1666, John, Sr b. 1668 and Ann b. 1674. Gordon W.

[I'm now sooo confused about the "paper trail ended" and "we don't know who Richard's children are."]. I descended from *Amy Pace and I am aware this is another controversial issue, I believe some think Amy was dtr. Of Thomas & Amelia Boykin.

Richard and Mary left Charles City Co., and moved to Southwarke Parish where he owned and operated a road tavern, called in VA an "Ordinary" for the accommodation of travelers. He moved later to York Co., where he probably worked as a carpenter, and then back to the area of James Town. He died sometime prior to Feb., 1678, before having made a will and leaving some substantial debts unpaid. Mary filed a petition to administer the estate, which she was granted. The list of the children of Richard and Mary is from a letter written in 1791 by Mrs. Winnifred, Acock Lane of GA, about her Pace ancestors.
