So much of Blandford is already out there. One site lists the info directly from the stones. This web site created years ago by Carol Morrison includes my family in Blandford (to my eternal appreciation) - the square Catherine S. Cogbill, who was my maternal grandmother's maternal grandmother's mother. http://vagenweb.petersburghistory.com/old/cemetery/blandfd1.htm Katie Holland from VA but married to MD'er

Anne, If you have ready access to the burial records of the Buffalo Presbyterian Church in Appomattox would it be appropriate to ask if you could check for the surname SAUNDERS and/or PENICK? Btw, my PENICK (William) married into the WALKERs (Judith). My ancestors were in the area of Buckingham & P.E. Co., VA early (1700-1800s) and had connections to the Appomattox area. Many thanks, Bette

I checked the burial records at Buffalo Presbyterian Church in Appomattox and didn’t see any Paces or Walkers. Bettie Kate Johnson and John T. Pace are buried in the Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, VA. I believe other members of their family are also there. Also, from the web site for National Register of Historic Places: Buffalo Presbyterian Church (added 1995 - Building - #95000395) Also known as VDHR File No. 73-28 VA 659, 0.3 mi. S of jct. with VA 658, Pamplin. (my note: Off of Rt. 460. Also called Buffalo Meeting House.) I've visited the church and it is beautiful. I believe the Library of Virginia has some of the church records but I can't remember exactly what they are or the dates covered. Anne

Thank you so much for the information. Any additional info. you may have on this family will be greatly appreciated. My search started with a Captain R.A.Pace son-in-law of Dr. E.E.Walker according to his obituary in 1911. It stated that he was survived by a son John T.Pace. I belong to the Pace Society and will pass any info.on to them, if agreeable to you. My main research has been confined to Paces in Virginia and my family has been traced to John Pace of Middlesex in the 1600's. thru the DNA of a distant cousin. John R.Pace b. 1809 and his wife Elizabeth?? were my grgrandparents and lived in Fluvanna County on the 1850 and 1880 census. His ancestors were also in Goochland County. and several married Johnsons If you know of any Johnson-Pace marriages would be interested. Have also been looking for a Stephen Johnson who was sur. at the marriage of my maternal grgrandfather David. C.Robinson when he married a Mary Hodges in Goochland in 1813. He later married my grgrandmother Mary A. Herndon in Fluvanna. He was born about 1789 according to census records . I thought Stephen Johnson might be a clue to his place of birth and parents.

William Thomas Johnson (1835-1915) lived in the Pamplin/Prospect area of Prince Edward County (though sometimes listed as Appomattox County). He and his second wife, Lucy Wyatt Cary, are buried in the Buffalo Presbyterian Cemetery. His first wife is unknown, but she is the mother of Bettie Kate Johnson who married John T. Pace of Petersburg. They had 2 sons - John T.Jr., died young and William Allen Pace. I don't know who John T. Pace's parents are, but I once corresponded with an elderly descendant of Bettie Kate and John T. Pace. I can try to find the address, but will only send it privately to you. Please let me know.

Lois, have you run across a Lucy Pace m John Connell? They lived in Lunenburg Co., A when their son, Francis Pace Connell was born in 1763. Francis Connell m Elizabeth Russell in Lunenburg/Mecklenburg Co., VA Jan. 11, 1786 and they moved to Lancaster Co., SC before 1800 where he died in 1843.
