Darlene, I once had a Paisley researcher try to help me find John Pace in her records. No luck. I guess the death of John Pace does continue to be unrecorded. Lt. Paisley could be a son of the Col. I have read something about Col. John Williams actually being present at the Battle of Shallow Ford (Patriot forces). Betty Hi all what I read....... the first instance was Col. John Williams, then under Leut. Pacely, then....This guy called Pacely Is a Leut does that mean Leut Col Paisley ;;;;;What you guys are saying makes sense Paisley and Pacely sure could be one in same ......... Shoot I just keep trying to find a Link to our Pace's ... I am sure so many of you have gone over so much Info searching ... I just keep hoping we will find a clue somewhere along the way...oh Well ! back to the Grind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty A.
