Lemuel or Samuel ?
If Lemuel is Samuel, he cannot be the one the people believe could of possible have been lost in the Johnstown Flood. Samuel is on the Glos, 1871 Census, but I cannot find him on the 1881 Census. I have also tried to find a Lemuel on a Census, but have had no luck. The only time that I have come across a Lemuel is on the list of Non-Conformist Baptims. Lemuel has a wife called Alice and a daughter Blanch and that is in 1881, but I cannot find them on the Glos. 1881 Census. Linda Ferris, Yorkshire UK - descendent -
Emmigration to PENNSYLVANIA
later MISSOURI & COLORADO
GEORGE Wm Jr. & SAMUEL PACE said to have emmigrated in 1869 to the US settling in PENNSYLVANIA. However, HOARE descendent shows GEORGE and HARRIET were witnesses to wedding of sister ALICE PACE to ALFRED HOARE 11 Jul 1870 St.Paul's W DEAN.

Samuel is on the Glos, 1871 Census, but not on the 1881 Census. I have also tried to find a Lemuel on a Census, but have had no luck. The only time that I have come across a Lemuel is on the list of Non-Conformist Baptims. Lemuel has a wife called Alice and a daughter Blanch. So there is some doubt as to the name Samuel or Lemuel and who was killed. Another descendent mentions GEORGE had a son GEORGE Jr. from 1st marriage b 29th April 1871. George Pace Junior also emigrated but was killed in a mine accident.

After the 1889 floods in Pennsylvania referred to as the Johnstown flood, SAMUEL was not heard from again. This famous disaster documentary has been on PBS TV and several gov't. web sites depict this disasterous event

A ROAR LIKE THUNDER
On June 1 1889 Americans woke to the news that Johnstown, Pennsylvania had been devastated by the worst flood in the Nation's history. Over 2,200 were dead, with many more homeless
George Wm. continued westward settling in Morgan County MISSOURI
and marrying Rachel BUCKLEY.

George PACE-Rachel BUCKLEY
George PACE & Rachel BUCKLEY
of MISSOURI
GEORGE WILLIAM PACE probably choose to move to the MONROE County area of MISSOURI as there was mining going on in southern Mo. where he settled. Family stories states that he later traveled to and owned an interest in some type of mining in COLORADO. He never moved his family there as he bought land in MORGAN county, Mo. and his main occupation was farming. He was well respected in the community but there seems to be no connection to him and other Pace's in Missouri.

George "Lem" Pace of Missouri
Seeking more information on the GEORGE L. "LEMUEL" PACE who lived in MORGAN County MO, and later in ELDON MO. He married GEORGINA LOUISE "LULU" FINLEY, the daughter of CHRIS and JOSEPHINE FINLEY. They had GEORGE M. who was a minister. All three are buried in the Eldon Cemetery. Lulu was the sister of my great grandmother-MINA FINLEY, born 1880 in Morgan County, MO. - Melinda Bailey - her query - on genealogy.com

Thank you so much for the information on the Lemuel Pace line. Yes, I would very much like to exchange information with other family members. Please feel free to pass along my e-mail address, and let me know the e-mail addresses of anyone I could contact.
Thanks again! Melinda Bailey

from a Gloucestershire newspaper

In our local Free paper today there's an item about THOMAS PACE convicted of sheep stealing in 1844, jailed for 10 years and transported to TASMANIA. He was married to Ann GEORGE who followed him out to Tasmania with two children.

Sir Allan Napier MacNabb (1798-1872)

born at Fort Newark (NIAGARA on the Lake) became a dynamic presence in political and business life in ONTARIO, CANADA
MacNabb served as a speaker of the Legislative Assembly, 1837-1841 and again in 1844-1848, following the 1841 union of UPPER and LOWER CANADA (Ontario and Quebec respectively) into the Province of Canada. He then served as prime minister of the province, 1854-1859. He had extensive land holdings in and near HAMILTON, Ontario, and was involved in several railway companies. Despite his enthusiasm for business, he died heavily in debt. DUNDURN CASTLE, his imposing residence at HAMILTON, ONTARIO is now a historic site open to the public. This painting, showing MacNab in the speaker's robes, was done in England during a visit he made in 1849. - National Archives of Canada - Ottawa - click to see portrait of Sir Allen

    JORDAN
    1851 census
    For Ellwood GLS (in the Forest of Dean) I have William Pace 36 from Tetbury, Married to Fanny Jordan 29 from Lydbrook.
    I am trying to find who her Parents were,and if she had any brothers or sisters, I was led to believe she had a sister called Gwen, who could be my ggg grandmother, I am very new to Family History and Computers, could anyone point me in the right direction, or anything on Pace/Jordan from the Forest.
    1881 census
    Fanny was a widow and 59 - 1881 census - living at West Dean, near Lydbrook GLS (in the Forest of Dean) where she was born. A possible brother or other relation for Fanny might be John JORDAN, 61, a blacksmith born in Lydbrook and living in West Dean, Upper Lydbrook at the time of the 1881 census. He lived with his wife, Eliza, 60, who was born in Welsh Bicknor. Recorded next to John and Eliza are two other JORDAN families, the heads of household being 28-year-old George JORDAN, a collier born in Lydbrook and 34-year-old Robert J. JORDAN, a collier, also born in Lydbrook.

    The Royal Forest of Dean
    An ancient royal forest of oaks, ashes, birches, and ferns in the western part of Gloucestershire, south-central England, occupying an area of 204 square miles in the western part of the county. It is bordered on the southeast by the broad estuary of the River Severn and on the southwest by the River Wye, which (for the most part) forms the border with Wales.

    The district takes its name from one of the great primeval forests of England that still covers much of the high sandstone ridges and valleys of the south-central part of the district. The woodland area was designated a national forest park in 1939. Its oaks, ashes, birches, and ferns have overlapped a coalfield little worked since the early 1960s and an ancient ironworks much used by the Crusaders. Timber from the forest was utilized in the construction of ships between the 16th and 18th century.
