Darlene--this man is traditionally shown as a son of Richard Pace IV and Elizabeth Cain, and though I'm unaware of any absolute proof, the circumstantials seem to support it. Consider that "Knowel" (a variant spelling of Knowles/Knowls) is pronounced Noel, and that name was used for some descendants of the Barnabas Pace b 1747, assumed brother of "Knowles." The land grant in St. Paul Parish that you noted, in a later deed reference* is shown to be on Germany's Creek in what was later Columbia County (earlier Richmond Co., and previously, St. Paul Parish). There are a number of Pace references to be found in the early records of Columbia Co., GA involving Richmond Co. Paces who were of the Richard IV/Elizabeth line, as well as associated families such as Tankersley and Rosborough/Roseborough. *Here's the deed reference: COLUMBIA COUNTY - Early Deeds - Deed Book "C" As cited in "Georgia Pioneers" Vol. 8 p. 6 Continued from November 1970 Issue p. 143 s/ (???)1790 r/ Nov 13, 1795 - Reuben Brownson to Ambrose Holliday...the following property, mostly on Germany Creek: 100 a. originally granted to KNOWLES PACE, Sept 5, 1769; .... - Joyce -----Original Message----- From: darlene [mailto:darlene@adweb.net] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 2:45 PM To: PACE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PACE-L] some Pace info English Crown Grants in GA Pace, Knowls 100 acres, St. Paul Parish Granted September 5, 1769 Grant Book G, page 413 then I found this:PACE, KNOWEL, (will) of Wilkes Co., Province of Ga.
