Leander Jackson PACE (3 Aug 1816 - 2 Feb 1893) was the eldest son of Moses PACE & Margaret BARCLAY and a grandson of Burrell PACE and Lydia WOODRUFF. In 1838 he was First Sergeant of Company H of the Rutherford County Volunteers and participated in the "Indian Removal". In later years he was a respected leader in Henderson County and Captain of the local militia. He was the Father of the famously active Henderson County Clerk of the Superior Court and Probate Judge, Columbus Mills PACE. If you have done any research into Henderson County Court records you will recognize the name, C. M. Pace, on most documents. Jonathan A.

Civil War Paces - NC

Most of the PACE men listed in the 54th and 64th Regiments were Henderson/Buncombe/Polk/Rutherford County grandsons (or great grandsons of Burrell & Lydia PACE). As with all other families in the South, it was a very hard war on the descendents of Burrell & Lydia PACE. Here are some details on the ones I can identify.

#2 Cornelius PACE: (abt 1827 - abt 1912), son of Cornelius PACE and Sarah; grandson of Burrell PACE. He married Clarissa before 1848. He was from Alabama before the war but returned to NC to serve. After the war he sold his portion of his Father's estate to his brother David and went to North GA. He resided in Pickens County , GA until his death.

#4 & #5: Daniel PACE. Was PROBABLY Daniel PACE (19 Dec 1833 - 25 Feb 1912). He married Sarah E. He was a son of Moses & Margaret PACE; grandson of Burrell PACE. The other MAY be his uncle, Daniel Kimsey PACE (6 Oct 1791 - 31 May 1871). However, he was probably too old to have served. I have no record of another NC Daniel PACE.

#10 Govan PACE (abt 1840 - 29 March 1863). This a son of Burrell & Caroline Hipps PACE; grandson of Cornelius PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. His CW Service Record reads: Govan Pace; Residence: Polk County, North Carolina Occupation: Farmer. Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 22 April 1862 in Polk Co., NC at the age of 22. Enlisted in Company I, 54th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 16 May 1862. Died of disease on 29 March 1863 in Staunton, VA. Source: North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster. (NCRosterC) Published in 1993.

#15 & #16: One if these is James W. PACE (abt Jan 1832 - abt Dec 1910). He married Louisa "Nellie" Phillips. This the eldest brother of Govan PACE; a son of Burrell & Caroline Hipps PACE; grandson of Cornelius PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. #19, #21 & #23: One of these is John Pace (abt 1830 - 6 Feb 1865). He married Mary Painter. I do not have a middle name of initial for him. He was a son of Cornelius & Sarah PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. He died in the Camp Douglas POW camp in Illinois and is buried in the Confederate Mound. In the settlement of his Father's estate in Sep 1870 his is mentioned as "...John Pace, deceased...one of the heirs of Cornelius Pace decease...". His children David, Henry, Matilda and Scott received 1/12 of the value of their grandfather's estate.

Another possibility is John C. PACE (abt 1830 - bef Mar 1870). He married Matilda abt 1857. He was son of Jonathan & Susanna PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. However, it appears there were two (2) men named John C. PACE during this time. In the estate records for Jonathan PACE filed in Mar 1870. The son is mentioned as "...John C. Pace, deceased..." AND John C. PACE is named as one of the executors of the estate.

#20: This is PROBABLY John Benjamin Franklin PACE (9 Jan 1838 - 10 Mar 1918). He was a son of Daniel & Sarah PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. His CW Service Record reads: John Benjamin F. Pace; 09 January 1838 Born on 09 January 1838. Residence: Henderson County, North Carolina Occupation: Farmer. Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 05 October 1861 in Henderson County, NC at the age of 23. Enlisted in Company G, 35th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 05 November 1861. Promoted to Full Corporal on 15 March 1862 (Estimated day of Promo). POW on 17 June 1864 at Near Petersburg, VA. Confined on 18 June 1864 at Point Lookout, MD (Estimated day). Transferred on 27 July 1864 at Elmira, NY. Took Oath of Allegiance on 12 June 1865 at Elmira, NY. Source: North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster. (NCRosterC) Published in 1993

#24: Jordan A. Pace (abt 1838 - 17 Jan 1863). This is another older brother of Govan Pace; a son of Burrell & Caroline Hipps PACE; grandson of Cornelius PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. His CW Service Record reads: Jordan A Pace; Residence: Polk County, North Carolina Occupation: Farmer. Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 29 April 1862 in Polk Co., NC at the age of 22. Enlisted in Company I, 54th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 16 May 1862. Hospitalized on 04 December 1862 at Richmond, VA. Died of disease on 17 January 1863 in Richmond, VA. Source: North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster. (NCRosterC) Published in 1993.

#26: There were several Leander PACE's but a couple would be of age to serve: This is probably Leander PACE (abt 1834 - abt 1863). This is another older brother of Govan Pace; a son of Burrell & Caroline Hipps PACE; grandson of Cornelius PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. I have no source for the date of his death.

Another possibility is Leander PACE (abt 1843 - ???). He was a son of Willis & Sarah PACE; grandson of Jonathan & Susanna PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE.

A remote possibility is Leander Jackson PACE (3 Aug 1816 - 2 Feb 1893). He married Luvenia Morris. He was a son of Moses & Margaret PACE; grandson of Burrell PACE. This Leander served in the militia during the Cherokee Indian Removal. In later years he was Captain of the local Militia and a local civic leader in Hendersonville. I believe the other Leander's are named in his honor.

#30: Silas PACE (abt 1830 - ???). He married Elmira. He was son of Jonathan & Susanna PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. His CW Service Record reads: Silas Pace: Residence: Henderson County, North Carolina Occupation: (none listed). Service Record: Enlisted in Company I, 54th Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 10 March 1863. Enlisted as a Private on 10 June 1863 in Polk Co., NC at the age of 23.

Source: North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster. (NCRosterC) Published in 1993.

#32: The is PROBABLY Thomas Franklin PACE (2 Sep 1842 - 29 Jan 1909). He was a son of Moses & Margaret PACE; grandson of Burrell PACE.

#33 - #44: Of the W. PACE and William PACE men there are several possibilities.

William PACE (abt 1847 - ???). This is younger brother of Govan Pace; a son of Burrell & Caroline Hipps PACE; grandson of Cornelius PACE; great grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE.

William Hannon PACE (31 Jul 1826 - 7 Sep 1904). He married Cecilia M. Staton. He was a son of Moses & Margaret PACE; grandson of Burrell PACE.

William M. PACE (abt 1820 - ???). He was son of Cornelius PACE; grandson of Burrell PACE.

In addition to these NC men are descendents of Burrell & Lydia PACE who served from other states.

ALABAMA:

Burrell V. PACE (??? - 28 Jan 1865). He married Hannah Hardin. He was son of Jonathan & Susanna PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. This is the ancestor of Jeanne Park. He died in the Camp Douglas POW camp in Illinois and is buried in the Confederate Mound.

GEORGIA:

James M. PACE (10 Jul 1812 - 7 Jul 1899). He married Sarah Berdin KERBO, Jane Seagraves and Sarah Loyal. He was a son of Cornelius PACE; grandson of Burrell & Lydia PACE. He served in the GA State Guard during 1863.

The following sons of James M. PACE
served from GA:

Daniel C. PACE (abt 1840 - ???). He married Mary HOLLAND. His CW Service Record reads: D C Pace; Residence: Cherokee County, Georgia Occupation: (none listed) Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 13 May 1862. Enlisted in Company B, 34th Infantry Regiment Georgia on 13 May 1862. POW on 04 July 1863 at Vicksburg, MS Paroled on 08 July 1863 at. POW on 03 July 1864 at Chattahoochee River, GA.

(GARosterC) Published in 1955-58 by Longino & Porter.

And to end the epistle. The eldest son of my great, great grandfather (son of Cornelius & grandson of Burrell) was another Leander PACE (5 Feb 1846 - 3 Dec 1931). Family oral history says that he bragged that he was a deserter from the Confederate Army. I have found no existing records but he was said to have been called into the State Militia during Sherman's siege of Atlanta and March to the Sea.
