McDaniel & Harriet A. Wall Pace had at least 5 sons. I found that some of those sons had sons. Follow my notes below and see if you can find or know descendents of any one othe sons and grandsons. I would like to think that there must another living male Pace descendant of McDaniel besides Ida's brother, but maybe that is wishful thinking. The question I would ask Ida Pace Saunders is whether she has traced or knows each of all the living descendants of McDaniel Pace. This probably will not solve the issue of McDaniels birth father, but then some other descendant may provide a clue. Please share this info with Ida and see what her response may be and maybe someone can further help her. Rebecca Christensen cited the 1900 Census which shows McDaniel & Harriet A Wall Pace have 4 sons. "1900 census for McDaniel Pace (McDonald) in Johnston County, North Carolina shows that he had other sons besides Lenoard Pace (b. Nov. 1879). Leonard Pace appears to be living in the household adjacent to his father McDaniel Pace. McDaniel and Harriett (Wall) Pace had at least 3 other sons as well - Oscar, William, and Lester. So, the DNA results would apply to all of these other Pace lines as well. " end MY RESEARCH, based mostly on inaccurate census records, IS AS FOLLOWS: 1900 Census, W.

May 1891; Zilphia, b. Feb 1893; Mertie, b. Feb. ? 1895; Nellie, b. Nov.? 1896; Lester, b. April 1899 The 1910 census confirms the info from 1900 census and adds one more son, Elijah. I could not find Elijah, but maybe he later goes by another name or he died young. 1910 CENSUS Dist 56, Selma Twp. Johnston Co., NC, pg 66 of 70 on Ancestry.com Mack D.

Lizzie was b. abt 1880 and her parents were both born NC. Oscar has at least 2 sons per 1910 census, but the names are hard to read. So McDaniel Pace had at least 5 sons that were alive on 1910 Census. Can anyone trace each of these sons descendants, if any, down to the present/ Larry Pace Pace Society of America Membership Chairman pace.membership@pacesociety.org LPace1943@comcast.net
