He is supposedly born c. 1806 (which fits) but in Tennessee which doesn't seem to. We think that JOSEPH and MARTHA moved to the Glasgow area of Barren County Kentucky around the birth of David Foster Pace, November 1812. They may have travelled through Tennesse. Martha Foster Pace was born in the Glasgow area. Bond for Barret's marriage was given by James HUMPHREY, assumed to be a relative of the two other HUMPHREYs above.

Jack Pace on JOHN PACE in reference to MURRAY PACE "Be careful of your JOHNS, for each generation have several. Happy searching" Jack Pace Williamsburg, Va. 19 Oct 2003 The JOHN PACE who died in 1734 was not the son of JOSEPH, but rather his older brother, JOHN, who was married to ELIZABETH MONTAGUE. (1717) JOSEPH PACE who married ANN BASFORD (1721) - according to recent DNA studies - was not related to RICHARD PACE who was married to ISABELLA SMITHE of Paces Paines (now Surry Co.Va.). If the JOHN you seek had a son MURRAY, my records are as follows. JOHN PACE ( Joseph, John of Middlesex Co.Va. ) born 14 March 1721/22 Middlesex Co.Va. Died 20, Sept. 1790 in Goochland County Va. American Rev. Service. (Goochland will book 15 p.198) He married SUSANNAH HOUCHINS Mar 1743, Lancaster County Va. (Douglas Register, p 114) daughter of EDWARD HOUCHINS II and HANNAH. Died before 1809, in Goochland Co. Va. Children of John & Susannah Mary William George Susannah Murray Nancy Ann Elizabeth Edward M. Francis x Rachel Charles Stephen James Since it's MURRAY that's mentioned, here is what I have MURRAY PACE (John-Joseph-John of Midd.) born ca 1751 in Goochland Co. Va. Died ca. 1831 in Clark Co.

DNA links my PACE of Shropshire ancestry to JOHN of M descendents. Perhaps a study of KY GROOME ancestry / descendency - eventually may find these KY GROOMES were originally Shropshire emmigrants and similar to JOHN PACE who emmigrated from Shropshire to Virginia in latter 1600's. Click on GROOM of SHROPSHIRE if you have an interest or GROOM of VA KY The following INDENTURE of 1840 - Clark Co - refers to a SARAH GROOME about property on Upper Howards Creek.
