Benjamin Pace son of John Pace of Middlesex is the Benjamin refered to in the book "A Place in Time" This Benjamin married a woman named MARY, whoe's family name has never been determined. Benjamin and Mary had the following children. 1. I believe also a Benjamin who was born about 1724 but who's birth was not recorded in The Christ Church Register. Other children 2-Elizabeth pace b. 17,Jan.1730/1 CCPR p.150, she was probably the Eliza. who died in 1740. 3- Mary Pace b. 20, Jan.1734/5 CCPR p. 140, 4- Ann Pace b.20, Aug. 1737 CCPR p.145, 5- Joseph Pace b. 11, Feb.1732/3 CCPR p.96. I contend that the #1 son above was the Benjamin Pace who died in King and Queen in May1841. That he was the Benjamin who married Francis Williamson and they had children Benjamin III, Williamson (married Cressy Saunders) and Rev. John who married Margaret Irvine in Campbell Co. Va., and migrated to n. Ky and finally Illinois. He was born in K&Q 12, Aug 1764. In 1781 the Pace quit tax was on 563 K & Q acres. In 1790 the tax on those acres were split between Benjamin III and brother John. Williamson had died during the Rev. War of small pox, probably the reason he was not a part of the 1790 tax. There was a David Pace in K&Q during the Revolution but other than selling supplies to the Army there is no additional information on him. King and Queen was a burn County in Rev and Civil Wars. There was a Pace Church in K&Q that was used also as a Court House after the Feds had burn down the regular Court House. Jack Pace / Williamsburg Va.
