Even though we do not have birth dates for all children we can build a logical sequence of birth. We also have a good history of the third generation. A fact we also have is that John Pace was a Lt. in the Middlesex Militia in 1702. Here we need to consider that Militia members were between the ages of 21 and 45. Therefore, in 1702, John was at least 21 and younger than 45. He purchased 150 acres from Nickles in 1693 at which time he would be 21 or older. But if 21 in 1693, he would be 30 in 1702. He also would be 22 when his daughter Sarah was Baptized in Christ Church Parish. He would be 30 when Margaret was born, she being probably the fourth child would make this believable. The youngest child George was born in 1715 and John would have been about 45 years old. Elizabeth his wife died in 1716, he remarried and died a year later in 1720. If the above calculations are correct he died at age 50. Now in reviewing his grandchildrens' birth dates, he had only one grand child when he died, that was Sara's daughter Elizabeth who was born in 1719. He would end up having 46 grandchildren but only one born before his death. This indicates to me he died young. This would set his birth year about 1670. John Neals sale was 02, Oct 1644, and John Pace bapt. in Hungers Parish was in 1661. If I am off 10 years the Hunger Parish, Accomack County John Pace could be a stretch, but I would need to see some collateral material. There is not a piece of information so far found that would suggest this. I have search for several years and can not find any references to John Pace of Middlesex other than the data gathered after the 1693 land purchase. A Mary Murrey, daughter of Alexander and Mary, born 22, Nov. 1674. We know not that this was the Mary Murray that John married but I have read others researchers works that list John Pace's wife Mary as daughter of Alexander Murrey, I have seen no documentation. This was a large family in Middlesex. I am excited that you are focusing in on John of Middlesex and Thomas of Rappannock and will assist as asked. Jack Pace, Williamsburg Virginia. 29 Jun 2002 - Charles HARTLEY recently received a photocopy of John's will from the Middlesex County Circuit Clerk's office and says "JOHN PACE of Middlesex County, Virginia, is my ancestor through his eldest son, JOHN PACE who married ELIZABETH MONTAGUE - click here - to see photocopy of original 1720 will of John Pace mentioning his survivors. This looks like a common sence place to start. Hunger's Parish "A true account of such persons as have bin borne, Baptized, Married and buried in Hungars Parish from ye 25th of March 1661 to ye 25th of March Anno 1662." CHILDREN Richard Johnson ye sonne of Tho and Ann Johnson - Apr 1st Bridgett Robinson ye daughter of Jno. and Mary Robinson - Apr 2d John Pace ye sonne of Jno and Mary Pace - Apr 2d James Bruce ye sonne of James and Mary Bruce - Apr 2d Thomas Martiall ye sonne of Tho and Mary Martiall - Apr 2d Mary Obin ye daughter of Robert and Ann Obin - Apr 2d Bridgett Henderson ye daughter of Gilbert and Mary Henderson - Apr 2d Ann Mapp daughter of Jno and Mary Mapp - May 5th In the same year a John Pace is shown as having died. Whether this was the infant, or his father, is not clear." While this John Pace would have been born in the right time frame, and in near enough proximity to Middlesex County to have been our John of Middlesex, do we have any other information that helps to confirm or eliminate him as one and the same? Hungars Parish was in Northampton County VA. Northampton County today is located on the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula that separates the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Middlesex County VA is located on the Rappahannock River which flows into the Chesapeake Bay directly across from Northampton County VA. Charlie - Hungars Parish Records - John Pace - Pace-L 11/18/04 Newsome Jack Pace/Williamburg. 05/09/04 PACE-L@rootsweb.com William Newsome, planter of James City. later Surry County Virginia was possibility the grandson of Robert Newsom of Newsome Hall, Lancashire, England. Early tradition is that he came to America from Dublin, Ireland. It is quite possible that he was the "William Newsom" who came to America aboard the GEORGE in 1635. In 1636 he was grante 550 acres of land in the county of James City toward the sunken March for the transportation of 11 persons to Virginia, including two of his wives, Penelope Ramsey and Sarah Fisher. William Newsom (1614-1657/1667) married 1 Penelope Ramsay 2- Sarah Fisher 3- Elizabeth Wilson and possibly Geratude after 1636. Second Generation William Newsom (1648-1691) m. Anne Sheppard Hart (abt.1645-1710/11) Third Generation Children of William and Anne Sheppard Hart (after Williams death his widow, Anne married George Foster) 1- William Newsom 1672-1751) m. Phyllis (bef. 1767) 2- Elizabeth Newsom (abt. 1673) 3-Anne Newsom (abt. 1678) 4-John Newsome (1674-1724) m. Sarah Crawford d/o Robert Crawford and Elizabeth Carter 5-Robert Newsom (1681-1757) m. Elizabeth moved to Isle of Wight Co. 6-Thomas Newsom ( 1685-1745/6) to Isle of Wight Co m. Eliza. Crawford sister to Sarah For those who believe that #2 Elizabeth married John Pace Senr.of Middlesex, and considering naming patterns during that time it is odd the the Paces did not name any children Anne, Robert or Thomas, Elizabeth or Alice. When Anne Sheppard Newsom died she left her land to her sons and personal items to daughters Anne and Elizabeth. For those who want to further study this family go to http://www.fmoran.com/newsom.html Anne Sheppard's father was Maj. Robert Sheppard and her mother Elizabeth was a daughter of William Spencer who arrived in Jamestown in 1607 and survived. His wife was Alice. Note the spelling Newsom not Newsome.

A connection is evident between JOHN of Middlesex descendents and PACE of Shropshire UK ancestry. This was indicated by the recent DNA tests. Going a little further surnames connected to John Pace of Middlesex descendents in Virginia and later Kentucky are also names found in Shropshire parishes where PACE is also found. The given names of children of JOHN PACE of Middlesex are similar to given names in Pace families of the same time period in north Shropshire, along the Welsh and Cheshire border. Click on the link to look at the families of north Shropshire in the 1600s see - PACE in Shropshire The DNA tests also seem to indicate this. other clues may be the surnames of HARRISON, GROOM, MADDOX, WRIGHT and others which were in SHROPSHIRE, later in colonial AMERICA where PACE also showed up - Virginia Counties, later Kentucky, Missouri. St.Peter's Church Wrockwardine Shropshire Christening parish of John Pace in 1665 who may have emmigrated to Virginia. If so, later Christened his own children at Christ Church in Middlesex County Virginia JOHN PACE Christened 22 Sep 1665 at Wrockwardine, Shropshire Father: JOSEPH Mother: MARGARET Read - ROY JOHNSON's web page on this subject JOSUAH PACE Christening: 07 JUN 1618 PREES, Shropshire Father: ROWLAND PACE JOSHUAH PACE Spouse: MARGARETTE PALLMER Marriage: 04 MAR 1653 High Ercall, Shropshire NOTE: the spelling of JOSHUAH is questionable. A JOSEPH and MARGARET had three Christenings starting just after this 1653 marriage date. This name, in the records, is rather obscure. The first letter is a J, last letter looks like an H but in between is unclear. There are very few PACE entrys in the parish registers which, I feel, permits me to realize JOSUAH JOSHUAH JOSEH JOSEPH are one and the same person.
