Darlene, I believe the Col. Pacely referred to in the pension application of Henry Connelly was probably Col. John Paisley of Guilford county, North Carolina. At the bottom of the pension application he is mentioned as Col. Paiseley. The following is quoted from the first website below: "On page 232 Dr. Caruthers says: "Col. John Paisley, father of Rev. William D. Paisley, was a patriot as well as a christian, and had all along taken an active part in the service of his country. He was present at the battle (Guilford Court House) with the men under his command." Col. Paisley was a member of Alamance Church, and lived seven miles southeast of Greensboro." It is apparently a quote from Dr. Caruthers "Life of Dr. David Caldwell." http://rankinfamily.org/Rankins%20of%20NC/Guilford%20County/ Ch%204%20The%20Watson%20Wharton%20Genealogy.htm See also: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncguilfo/AlamancePresbyterianChurch.html Records of the Alamance Presbyterian Church A very interesting genealogical letter about the Paisley family is found at: http://thejoyceconnection.homestead.com/PaisleyLetter.html Sorry, no Paces mentioned.
