Joyce, Thank you for the biographies on William Carroll Pace and his brother James Robert Pace. I have a picture of William Carroll Pace and his wife Mary Elizabeth or Emalina McCracken Pace. Mary E. McCracken Pace was a younger sister to my GGG Grandmother, Sarah McCracken who married John Pace, Jr. son of John Pace, Sr. and Sarah Anderson. I do not have a picture of Sarah McCracken Pace and husband, John Pace, Jr. but I sure wish I did. I have always wanted to know if William Carroll Pace was related to John Pace, Jr. and if so how he is related. Your biography says that William Carroll Pace was born in Virginia about 1816 and came to Texas in about 1828 as seen in the sketch of his brother James Robert Pace. The biography of William Carroll Pace's brother says that his father was Gideon Pace. It says that it appears that Gideon Pace, William Pace and Wesley W. Pace, all brothers came to Texas with their families. I know that my GGG Grandfather, John Pace, Jr. was the son of John Pace, Sr. married to Sarah Anderson. John Pace, Sr. died at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. John Pace, Sr.'s parents were William Pace and Ruth Lambert. I wonder if anyone could help me with connecting William Carroll Pace to my John Pace, Sr. and Jr.? It is looking like to me that possibly my GGGGG Grandfather William Pace married to Ruth Lambert may have been the brother, William spoken up as one of the brothers of Gideon Pace mentioned as William Carroll Pace's father. Wonder if anyone out there can tell me if this is the connection between these two families that I am related to? I'd love to find descendants of William Carroll Pace and his brother, James Robert Pace and nephews Dempsy C.Pace and Robert I. Pace and Mrs. Laura Keylick, his niece.
