I am researching the Edmond Pace family and two of their daughters married Hills and were in Lee Co VA. This Pace family lived in Claiborne Co TN for a few years just prior to the Civil War, then returned to Lee Co. Census shows there were Hills over there, also. Mary "Poll" Pace married John Hill--we don't have the marriage record but estimated it about 1844. Frances Elizabeth "Lizzie" Pace married William J. Hill and I have a marriage date of 1854 for them. One of their descendants --Jim Hill of Ohio is researching them and I believe he gave me that year of marriage. Recently he wrote that he was having computer problems and not to try to contact him until he let us know that things were working again--haven't had the word yet that things are OK. I will be glad to give you his email whenever I do hear from him again or to ask him to contact you. He tells me that he grew up in the Rose Hill area and that his father was a coal miner. At one time they even lived in a "company town" when he was very young, he thought in Harlan Co KY, for about two years. Then they moved back to Rose Hill and his father walked over the mountain morning and night to Harlan Co where the mine was located. I believe Jim's sister also is researching but I have never had an address for her. They still have family at Rose Hill or in that area and visit there. He said that his mother was originally from Ohio, and they moved to Ohio where there was more work opportunities. And yes, his father died from lung problems from all the time he spent in the mines. The last I knew they had not proved who the father of their William J. Hill was. It is possible that John Hill and his wife "Poll" left the area, for we have not found them in later census, and Edmond Pace's will in 1885 stated that they had bought a farm from him and had not paid him for it, but they had sold it and he now gave them that as her entire part of his estate!
