Thanks to those who contributed to the new Pace Bulletin. A special thanks to Shirley Pace Graham for her hard work in the land records around John and Richard Pace in Nash, Co. NC. I think that if one studies these records, it is plain to see that the Walkers, Cains and Paces had a very close relationship in Nash Co. suggesting that William Pace who married Sisley Walker was closely related to John and Richard Pace. This is also in agreement with the present DNA test results. John Pace

John, When we talk about the relationship between the PACE and WALKER families, we want to remember that my Stephen Pace in Johnson Co NC married (1) Nancy Walker and (2) Lucy Walker, widow of Nancy's deceased brother.

Those who are interested in these surnames in NC (Cains/Walkers/Paces in Bertie/Edgecombe/Nash) may want to peruse the NC section of the book (online through Rootsweb), "Cains and Associated Families of Amite County, Missisippi," by Mildred Ezell. It contains many, many, abstracts of deeds involving Cains, Walkers, and Paces in earlier North Carolina beginning in the 1720s. There's an index to the book, subdivided alphabetically, at this site. It will NOT take you directly to the pages but is a reference to the names found within the book. (Continue reading to find URLs to book itself.) http://www.rootsweb.com/~msfrank2/cainbookindex.htm Because the book is chopped up into different sections, each with different URLs, it's a bit of a challenge to navigate through web links or find a direct link to it on the Amite Co., MS website. Therefore, included below are URLs which take you to the beginning of the book and to the most pertinent sections--about NC Cains. From there you can search on the Pace name, or whatever is of interest (watercourse names, etc.) "Read Me" section--helpful in getting oriented to this book... http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ms/amite/history/books/cain/0readme.txt Beginning of book: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ms/amite/history/books/cain/cain001.txt ***Sections about NC Cains--each section a continuation of the preceding*** http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ms/amite/history/books/cain/cainc01.txt http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ms/amite/history/books/cain/cainc31.txt http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ms/amite/history/books/cain/cainc61.txt Some years ago I just printed the whole book, section by section, and it's in a thick folder, all marked up. My interest is that a name in one of the John Pace deeds (Roger Case), I've long suspected is "really" a Casey and related to my Daniel Casey whose son and daughter each married Paces--i.e., Mary Casey to Barnabas, and John Casey to Elizabeth). Roger's name was spelled Casse elsewhere in these NC records, Casse being an early variant of Casey. Hope this references helps those who're also interested in NC Paces! - Joyce Harris -----Original Message----- From: Mr John Pace [mailto:pjohndeb@verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 9:42 AM To: PACE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACE-L] 2005 Fall/Winter Bulletin ....I think that if one studies these records, it is plain to see that the Walkers, Cains and Paces had a very close relationship in Nash Co....
