I am looking for information on AUGUSTUS PACE, who was 4 years old in the 1870 Mecklenburg, NC census, thus he was born around 1876. In 1898 he was living in Fort Mill, South Carolina (York Co), according to the estate records of his father YOUNG PACE (b.1832 in Guilford Co., NC). Young Pace had been apprenticed as an orphan in Guilford and later moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC, where he married NANCY WALLS, who is believed to have died there in 1888 at age 44, thus born in 1842. It is believed that NEEDHAM PACE was the brother of this YOUNG PACE, as they migrated together from Guilford to Mecklenburg Co., NC, taking with them an elderly ZILPHA/ZETHLA PACE (b.1798) and her retarded son DAVID. NEEDHAM PACE was married to MARY MARGARET MYERS of Mecklenburg NC and their children were Laura, Irvin, Sallie. The known siblings of AUGUSTUS PACE were CHARLES A.(c.1859), ABNER (c.1861-1900), MARY, FANNIE, and possibly a JOHN PACE. All of these were born in Mecklenburg Co., NC, and in 1898 all were still in that county of NC except for AUGUSTUS PACE who was living in Fort Mill, SC. I believe this family was related to my older ABNER PACE (b.1821-22-d.aft. 1880) who had also been apprenticed as an orphan in 1837 in Guilford Co., NC. This older Abner later moved to Rowan Co., NC, after having married in 1843 JULIA ANN REED (B.1823-1911) in Guilford. Abner Pace was a harness/carriage maker in Rowan, NC. His only child was JOHN FLETCHER PACE (1844-1901Rowan,NC), who was Police Chief of Salisbury, NC, at his death. If anyone knows anything about AUGUSTUS PACE and family, please contact me.
