Is it possible that this Richmond Pace is not the Richmond Pace who was the son of John and Sarah Burge Pace--the theory is that he died with his father as a Tory, probably at the Battle of Shallow Ford ? Wasn't there another Richmond Pace?

According to Papers both Dempsey and Richmond Pace recieved monies after the war....and they were listed in archives Rev War list as Surry Co NC yet records show this :Richmond received his thru Comptroller's Bruce & Hunter in Salisbury Dist in Rowan Co NC, date is July 30 1782 Dempsey received his from Sher. & Barrows or Bannows in Halifax Co NC in 1784, and in 1786 in Warrenton It is in Warren Co NC Richmond Pace received for Public Claim 6 pounds and four Shillings July 30 1782 Richmond was receiving his from the Salisbury Dist of NC Dempsey Pace received from Halifax Dist in 1784 and from the Warrenton Dist as late as 1786 monies. He also receive abt the same amt as Richmond Pace and later dates notes 27.0.0 so not sure if it still pounds or shillings...does not look like Dollars... The NC Archives did not have the actual enlistment Records on file, guess If I want to find out more will have to send somewhere else for them.....and not sure where one get Rev War Records ... Does anyone know... Darlene Pace From: ArlisG@aol.com To: PACE-L@rootsweb.com Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 15:49:07 EDT Subject: Dempsey and Richmond Pace Revolutionary War Payments In reference to Darlene's post about Revolutionary War payments to Dempsey and Richmond Pace: The source of the records are probably the North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts Secretary of State Treasurer's & Comptroller's Papers. The North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts might contain a list of men under an officer that were paid 2 shillings 8 pence a day for 7 days, a total of 18 shillings 8 pence for the 7 days. The lists also contain such things as Thomas Nuby for 1 Barrel of Pork or Gideon Lamb for 11 days of waggon hire. Dempsey Pace and Richmond Pace were given payments for some kind of goods or services done during the war by the State of North Carolina. The Claim or record of payment with the names of others on a list or series of lists from the same area might reveal where Richmond or Dempsey lived. If you knew that the majority of the men on the list with Richmond lived in Surry County, you could say that there was a strong possibility that Richmond was also from Surry County. If the NC Archives listed Surry County for Richmond and Dempsey that is probably where they were. The place of payment, Warrenton, Halifax, etc. would not give any indication of the place the person lived. Claims were to be made at certain locations, many had to travel a great distance and thus never filed any claim. Suggested reading: Helen F. M. Leary and Maurice R. Stirewalt, North Carolina Research: Genealogy and Local History, Section 33, pages 342-412, Military Records by George Stevenson for a detailed explanation. Weynette Parks Haun gave the above reference in her introduction to her 1st volume of transcriptions of the NC Revolutionary War Accounts, as well as other background material.
