WISEMAN - age 12 - On 11/23/1837 to Christopher Hiatt (saddle trade)
YOUNG - male - age 13 - On 8/18/1847 to Jonathan Armfield
YOUNG - MALE - age 16 on 8/16/1850 - On 5/20/1850 to Isaac Armfield (cabinet maker)
(I would bet that Jonathan Armfield died and Isaac took over the apprentice bond for YOUNG PACE)ABNER PACE m. in Guilford Co. in 1843, and went to Rowan Co NC following his marriage to JULIA ANN REED. He was the son of Alsey Pace and Zilpha Hall, m. 1820 in Johnston Co NC. David, Young, Needham were also children of this couple.
NEEDHAM PACE and YOUNG PACE moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC around 1855 where they married; they took with them a ZILPHA PACE (b.1800 Chatham/Wake Co., NC), their mother, and her retarded son DAVID. Needham Pace (a carriage maker) moved to Mississippi (Lafayette Beat) by the 1880 census; his wife was Mary/Margaret Myers.. Young Pace died in Mecklenburg Co NC, as did his wife Nancy Walls Pace.
LIVELY PACE married William N. LITHCOE in 1850 in Guilford Co., NC, and EDNEY PACE married Thomas OZMENT Jr. in 1841, and EDITH PACE married Thomas H. GARDNER in Guilford in 1849.
Most (if not all) of these Pace "orphans" were the children of ALSEY & ZILPHA HALL PACE (m. 1820 in Johnston Co., NC). I have established that at least some of them were the children of that marriage. The family was shown receiving aid from the Wardens of the Poor in Guilford Co., NC, in the 1840s, perhaps longer.
