It appears to me that Ellen Reed was a Native American (Cherokee probably). I know the Dawes Rolls are Indian census material. I don't understand all of the numbers, but I would suggest going to one of the web sites that talks about researching Native Americans. You can probably get a list of web sites from: www.rootsweb.com or www.cyndislist.com You also might try the Mormon catalog and see if they have the Dawes Roll.

In case some of you don't watch much TV, here is a program that is really worth watching. Ken Burns' classic Civil War series begins this Sunday at 8 p.m. on your local PBS station (probably). This first evening is "The Cause, 1861." I think the 2nd in the series (McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in VA)airs Monday night at the same time. I don't know whether the series will skip a night and then resume, but my understanding is that they will show all of the six-part series. If you can't watch, it is certainly worth taping for the two and one half hours. I'm telling everyone I know. My local PBS is WHRO in Norfolk, VA. However, we also pick up the UNCNC PBS channel, and I frequently watch that because I like their programming a little better. You will have to check with your own local PBS station or perhaps you can find out by going to: www.pbs.org if you live somewhere exotic. Betty Pace

Forwarded for information about the ENGLISH calendar change in 1752 (NOT JUST FOR QUAKERS). It deals with Quaker marriage records but explains that the beginning of a new year used to be March 25th in the entire English world. I have heard this before and I still don't quite understand it. I hope Paul Palmer does. Betty Pace From: "Paul C. Palmer" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 12:04:01 -0500 Subject: Re: [Q-R] Important Note on Quaker Marriage Records, please read. Quakers preferred not to use the traditional names of the months and days, as they were at worst pagan and at least unnecessary. So most of the time they used numbers only. When a document (such as a will) also needed to be readable by non-Quakers, allusions to said traditional names might be included for clarity. To complicate reading of Quaker dates even more is the fact that UNTIL September 1752 in the English-speaking world, the year began not with January but with March -- technically 25 March. Thus the 1st month was March; 2nd was April; 3rd was May; 4th was June; 5th was July; 6th was August; 7th was September; 8th was October; 9th was November; 10th was December; 11th was January; and 12 was February. I'm sure most of you know this, but I have encountered respected historians and expensive professional genealogists who misread the OLD STYLE dates much of the time. If you are a stickler for accuracy, be very wary of anyone's dates from the era before September 1752. When the changeover to the modern calendar (NEW STYLE) was made in September 1752, the days of the month were also advanced 11 days. Thus, as I recall, the day after 13 September 1752 was 25 September 1752. Few genealogists try to make that 11 day adjustment, and there probably is no adequate reason to do so. It may interest you to know that George Washington changed his birthday from 11 February (1731/32) to 22 February. Most people, I have read, did NOT choose to make such adjustments. Quakers continued to use their own system, but AFTER 1752 their 1st month was January; 2nd was February, etc. I believe there are explanatory articles available on line about the Quaker calendar and about Old Style/New Style dating.

Palmer ----- Original Message ----- From: Lottie Bardoel <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2002 12:36 PM Subject: [Q-R] Important Note on Quaker Marriage Records, please read. Hi John, I know exactly what happened. This has to do with the calendar year. It used to be off by two months. ( I will not even attempt to sound knowledgeable about this, there are others who could explain it better.) The records would say something like. " On the 5 th day of the 2nd month known as April in the year known by Christian accounts as One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty...." This is off the top of my head as I didn't transcribe all of this. I only want to explain that for YOUR dates, they used the number of the month as in the above record would be FEBRUARY, BUT the NAME of the month was APRIL, so this is what I transcribed. This only occurs till aprox. 1754 and then the number of the months changes to the same as the present day calendar. I HOPE I have not made a serious transcription error, but I believe that this would be the correct way to do it. As the month never 'changed' i.e. July would be summer... but the 'number' of the month can mean either April or February. I am forwarding this to the mailing lists as well, because this is a good point to make with records from this time frame. If anyone else has discrepancies besides the two month difference I have talked about above, please contact me and I will double check when I return to the FHC. PLEASE include the page # and names in the subject line. Lottie [in brackets below I have put the dates I found on the film.] >>From: "John" <[email protected]>

I thought this was an interesting and informative presentation of the role of African-Americans in the early days at the Jamestown settlement in VA. I hope it does not offend anyone. My comments are added in brackets [...] for clarification. Betty Pace --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Roy Johnson" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 09:09:08 -0500 Subject: [PACE-L] Some historical surprises I taught history for 31 years of my life, and my history books told of the first blacks brought to Jamestownin 1619 by a Dutch slaving ship that ran aground and then sold their cargo to the colonists. The books said that the Jamestown residents were quite startled as they had never seen blacks before. I have a copy of the marriages performed in St. Dunstan parish [Stepney, London] in 1608, which included the Richard Pace marriage [the Pace patriarch at Jamestown, VA]. Imagine my surprise as I looked at the other marriages of that year to find "Sam and Mary, nigers." First, I was surprised at the word "nigers". I had been under the impression that the term "nigger" was derived from a corruption of the Spanish word "Negro", meaning simply "black", evolving first into "Nigra" then "nigger". However, the word "niger" is LATIN for "black". It now appears that this term pre-dated the Spanish "Negro", which came into use only later when most slaves were acquired from Spanish sources. I would guess that the older term then took on a negative connotation which it probably did not have in the beginning. Secondly, the assumption that Richard Pace and the other Jamestown residents had never seen blacks is obviously untrue. Richard and Isabella Pace, William Perry, and others from the St. Dunstan area were undoubtedly familiar with Africans before they came to America. Slavery did not exist in English law at that time, but indentured servitude did. Most servants had a contract for x number of years, but the law set a limit on how long servitude could be in the absence of a contract--I think it was 16 years. So those early African-Americans were released after their term of servitude and became free men. There is a record of at least one of them taking up some land and paying the passage of some white servants from England, thus acquiring indentured servants of his own. Not too many Americans realize that there was once a time when blacks could own whites. Also, there are descendents of these early black servants whose ancestors (in that line, at least) were never slaves. It took 100 years for American law to create our "peculiar institution" of slavery. In the 1600s when a person said he owned "slaves" he was referring to his indentured servants, and they could be white, black, or native American. Gradually laws were passed extending the term of servitude for blacks and shortening it for whites, until it eventually became a lifetime obligation. Other laws forbade black-white and slave-free marriages, and eventually, required that the children of slaves also be the property of the master, making American slavery unlike slavery in ancient Rome or in Africa, where this was not the case. It would be most interesting to know where Richard Pace was when those first blacks were brought ashore in 1619, and what he thought. Of course, we can only speculate. I suspect that his kindness to the Indian boy Chanco [saved Jamestown settlers in 1622 Massacre by warning Richard Pace of impending attack] would presuppose a similar attitude toward the Africans. I wonder if he knew Sam and Mary back in England. Roy Johnson ==== PACE Mailing List ==== Help this list grow - tell other Pace researchers about it.

I have been trying to connect the REED/REID/READ families of southern Illinois, specifically Johnson Co.IL. So what I did was write down the REED/REID/READ families I found in the census records on note cards and tried to organize them. I have tried to make some connections with families throughout the years. For example, my family line is Family E. The connections may or may not be accurate. It was my way of connecting families. So I thought I would throw this out to the REED/REID/READ researchers to see if it would help anyone. I have separated it into 3 different messages: 1820 to 1870; 1880 and 1900; 1910 & 1920.

A useful work on-line http://www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley/index.htm Lyman Chalkley's "Chronicles of the Scotch Irish in Virginia: 1745-1800" Deals primarily with Augusta Co., VA 3 volumes It has an index, and clicking will lead you to that page transcribed To get to the index, click on the Title Page and then you will see the link at the bottom. I found the names Pace, Wilson, Read, Reed, etc. and I wasn't even on the site that long. Wonderful browsing. It seems to be a lot of court records, deeds, etc. It is so packed with names on each page that you will have to use your browser's edit-find function to find your surnames. Betty Pace
