One of these 25 is a Richard Pace. > We MUST document this piece of inromation--this is perhaps THE most important piece of Pace information since we found that John of Middlesex is not related to the North Carolina Paces. This could throw a number of prior assumptions into a cocked hat--and it might upset a lot of people who think they can trace to Richard of Jamestown, as now we have another Richard who could be an ancestor. The ONLY evidence that we have that the North Carolina Paces are descendents of Richard of Jamestown is the Winnifred Aycock Lane letter (three versions of it are on the Pace Network--we don't even have the original), and the fact that the Paces of North Carolina have the same names as those in her letter. We have assumed they must be the offspring of Richard of Jamestown because we had no other candidates for any other Richards or anyone else who could be their parents except "Richard II" (Richard-George-Richard). Now we do. Just glancing at the donors page, I see that at least some of the Paces of NC were born AFTER 1660 and could be the sons of this Richard rather than "Richard II". Ruth Keyes Clark has said that she found evidence of at least two, and maybe three, Richard Paces in early Virginia who could have gone to North Carolina themself or could have sired those who did. Now we may know who one of them is. I have not had time to build a careful timeline of when the North Carolina Paces probably migrated, or what their ages were compared to this Richard, but I can see immediately that they are contemporary. Please tell us where you got this fantastic piece of evidence! Roy Johnson >--------------------------------- > Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail .
