The PEES, a German family,
migrated to America (New Jersey). After a generation they adopted the name PACE. A William got into trouble selling goods to the British and as the story goes, left the US and went to Canada.

Johannes had three sons
who came to America after 1700

• Hans Michael b. 1691
• Hans Jorg b. 1687
• and Hans Nickel

Hans Michael Pees changed his name to Pace soon after arriving in America (New Jersy) because Pace was the approximate pronunciation of Pees in Germany. Michael had several sons and the descendants were very prolific in producing offspring and were instrumental in founding the Mormon Church in Utah. On the other hand, the other two sons of Johannes did not change their name to Pace. - GWPACE

Hans Michael Pees of Baumholder, Prussia

Daniel Pace b. 7/12/1734 m. Marie Barbara in NJ was on the tax rolls of Tawkerburg Twp., Hunterdon Co, NJ in 1780.

This is the same place where Frederick Eveland Pace was born abt. 1807! The other brothers were some distance to the northeast in German Valley, Morris Co, NJ. The only known child of this Daniel Pace is John Frederick Pace b. 7/2/1770. Perhaps Michael (b. 1774) was a brother of John Frederick.

From what I have seen posted so far I can't tell if Frederick's middle name was actually Eveland. If it wasn't then he probably wasn't a son of Michael and Annie. This would open the possibility that he was a son of John Frederick Pace. It is not known what became of Daniel Pace.

• 2 JOHANN DANIEL PACE - b 12 Jul 1734 in Baumholder - it is not known for certain that Johann Daniel PACE married Elizabeth JONES. It is based on death cert. of JOHN PACE 1824-1902 stating his mother as ELIZABETH JONES and the lack of any other Paces in NJ at that time.

  • 3 JOHN PACE - born Elizabeth NJ 1824 died 1902
    according to his death certificate, his mother's name was ELIZABETH JONES. His father's name is not mentioned. Family records indicate that he was born in ELIZABETH, NJ and moved to LUZERNE County, PA at the age of 12 around 1836 to join other family members.
  • the only known records are that he was in HUNTERDON Co NJ in 1780 and had a son, John Frederick Pace b 1770. It is not known if they had any other descendants.

  + ANN MARGARET WELSCH - m abt. 1757 German Valley, MORRIS Co NJ. Other records show that Johann Michael Pace took his family from MORRIS Co, NJ to LUZERNE Co, PA in the year 1783

• 2 JOHANN WILHELM PACE - Baumholder church records show JOHANN WILHELM PACE as the younger brother of Johann MICHAEL and Johann DANIEL. - Scott AARON - also a NJ certificate of Jacob SOVEREIGN noted that Michael's father, WILLIAM PACE supported the British cause during the American Revolution - so this may indicate who the father was.
  + MAGDALENA / MADELENA
  • 3 MICHAEL WILLIAM PACE - born NJ 1781
    Records regarding Michael Pace (that married Annie Eveland) list that his father William was a loyalist (unlike Johann Michael). NOTE: - "On Dec 2, 1811 Michael Pace filed a land petition requesting a lease on Lot 11, Con 7, Chalotteville Twp. An attached certificate of Jacob Sovereign noted that Michael's father, WILLIAM PACE supported the British cause during the American Revolution and "lost a handsome property which was possessed in New Jersey at the commencement of the American War."

    This coincides with the 1964 Pace memo that supposes the William Pace that was arrested for "provisioning the enemy" was William Pace, brother of Michael and Daniel.

    Dr. SAMUEL D. PACE, United States Consul, Sarnia, was a native of Canada, born in the Province of Ontario April 9, 1835; his father was a native of New Jersey, and his mother was descended from a New England family. He received his literary education in Canada and in the State of Wisconsin. In early boyhood he determined to be a physician; after completing his medical studies, he came to Port Huron in 1860, and successfully engaged in the practice of his profession. In 1869, Dr. PACE was appointed by President Grant United States Consul to Port Sarnia, and since then has occupied that position. Dr. PACE was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie FREEMAN, a native of England. They have three daughters-Mattie, the eldest, is the wife of the Consular Agent at London; Cora, now Mrs. Frank MALLORY, of Detroit; Clara, now Mrs. George L. BRACKET of the city of Detroit.
