FOREWORD

As a Railroad Dining Car Steward on overnight runs, I spent much of my time in distant cities, and when time availed, I visited the nearest public library for a very casual search of my genealogical background. In time, my interest grew to include the benefits of membership in the Pace (Genealogical) Society of America, Inc. However, the interest of this group of researchers seemed to be cen­tered in the proliferation of the southern Paces and their circulation within and throughout the United States. No one could tell me if, where, when, or how the New England Paces fitted into the big picture.

In 1975 I began serious research that lasted 15 years and accounted for thousands of miles of travel.

My objective was to determine any relationship between my line of Paces and those Paces who had helped settle James­town, VA, in 1611. I believe that the evidence collected is totally convincing even though the birth certificates of Darius Pace's three oldest children have never been located and probably never will be. There are bound to be some errors even though great pains have been taken to prevent such. However, the back of every page has been deliberately left blank for the notation of any error or omission, and it is hoped that when errors are found or new information uncovered, I will be notified so that I can dispense the same to others.

The system of identifying principals and their offspring varies somewhat from the usual. The organization of the lineage is as follows: Each family head is identified with a capital letter, and Richard IV, as head of the first family, has been assigned the letter A. His offspring are identified with his assigned letter and their place in the order of birth.

Reference the recording of vital statistics: DB = Date of Birth PB = Place of Birth Md = Information pertaining to marriage DD = Date of Death PD = Place of Death CD = Cause of Death (when such is known)

VII

Other researchers interested in northern Pace genealogy are Donald J. Pace of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who has completed his work entitled The Pace Family of Nova Scotia, and Richard Haskell of Truro, MA, who is still recording information of his ancestors.

In conclusion, it is appropriate that I acknowledge the help of my wife, Virginia, and express my appreciation for her patience and her skill as an editor-typist.

The Name of Pace

Pace is an old name and means "Peace". It entered England in the form of the Latin Pax or in the French form of Pais and at various times, according to phonetics, became Pece, Pacey, Pass, Paix, Pays, Paice or Payze. It is widely believed that the name originated in Italy where it was used to designate a person born on Easter day. But however common in Italy, it may be considered uncommon in England, even though Rev. Henry Barber of London notes in his book, British Family Names (p. 209) 1903, that Pace is a British family name from the Norman era and that it gained a foot­hold in England in the ninth century. It is a place name from a strong castle called "Pacey" which existed before 1045.

The English Paces

To guote Noble Pace, the founder of the Pace (Genealogical) Society of America, Inc., "It is generally accepted that the Paces of Jamestown, and conseguently the lineage of those in America, descended from John Pace, the brother of the Richard Pace who was so prominent in the court of King Henry VIII." The Richard noted above is the most famous of the Pace family in England. Highly educated, a diplomat for King Henry VIII, and a friend of the famous, he was also a theologian and close to Erasmus, the famous theologian and philosopher. He knew William Shakespeare and was noted in Shakespeare's drama, The Famous History of the Life of King Henry VIII (Act II ii 84-123). In 1932, Jervis Wegg of London, England, authored a biography entitled Richard Pace - The Tudor Ambassador.

The Pace Family in America - 1611 to 1783

According to Pace Society records, Richard I (ca. 1587 -ca. 1628), the nephew of Richard, the Tudor Ambassador, may have lived in Wellfield, England,and went from there to Wapping, a small town on the north shore of the Thames River. This is of interest because just a few miles be­yond Wapping on the Thames was the Blackwater Pier, an embarkation point for the 1607 settlers who sailed on the "Sarah Constant", the "Goodspeed", and the "Discovery". It would seem that Richard did not have to go far to catch a ride to the new world. In October of 1608, Isabelle Smythe and Richard were married and the union produced their only child, George, but the birth did not interfere with the plans of the couple, and they arrived in Jamestown, Va. in 1611 along with their friends William Perry, William Powell, and Thomas Gates (the Deputy Governor of Jamestown) and his family. (William Perry married Isabelle after the death of Richard in 1628.)

Once established in Jamestown, Richard shed the glitter and veneer of his former life, but retained the guality of leadership that enabled him to survive the harsh condi­tions of his new home. While in Jamestown, he became a wealthy plantation owner, a frontiersman, an Indian fighter, and a hero who risked his life to warn the colonists of an impending Indian attack. The attack was meant to annihilate the colony, but Richard's warning allowed time to make de­fense preparations, and when the attack came on 22 March 1622, only 341 colonists lost their lives. It would seem that Richard was destined for the demise that he experienced, and in 1628 he was killed in a skirmish with hostile Indians. No records have been found of the skirmish or of the details of Richard's death.

After Richard's death, his son George married a survivor of the 1622 massacre, Sarah Maycocks, and each subsequent generation contributed a Richard to carry on the name. Richard II was the son of George and married Mary Baker; Richard III married Rebecca Poythress and Richard IV of the fifth generation came into being.

Richard IV married Elizabeth Caine ca. 1723, and the follow­ing children were born to them:

ca. 1778

James (ca. 1724 - 1782)

Several members of the family of Richard IV and Elizabeth served under General Washington of the Revolutionary War, and achieved distinction as soldiers. But the war did take a toll of the family and it was split with James and Darius on the side of the king and others on the side of the rebels.

Only a few records of James, the first son of Richard IV, have been found: land sales in South Carolina, hosting army recruiters at his Georgia tavern, and his arrest by the Council of Safety. Prof. Troxler, of the University

of North Carolina's History Dept., made mention of James and Darius in her doctoral thesis which dealt with the migration of Loyalists to Nova Scotia, and there is a South Carolina land sale record that notes James and Aurelia as being from the parish of St. Peter, SC. A family member and historian of that era, Winifred Aycock, writes that she "Never knew of Uncle James - he just moved away." So James kept a low profile, but when the Revolutionary War came along, he made up for lost time and on political issues, he apparently spoke without regard for the consequences.

A hunger for dealing in land and farming seems to have been a family trait, and James seems to have kept his hunger satisfied. There is little doubt that he was a wealthy man who owned some 910 acres of prime forest and farm land and also owned a going tavern on Two Sisters Bluff of the Savan­nah River in Georgia - but because of his political opinion, he lost everything he owned. On 12 January 1776, his arrest was authorized by the Georgia Council of Safety, and as the result of his well articulated and derogatory opinion of the rebels, he lost his real and personal property to confiscation, he was convicted of treason, and he was exiled from Georgia for life.

The charge of treason indicates that either he or his family were known to be in active military service against the Patriots, and at a later date, his widow, Aurelia, was to verify such service.

James left Georgia for St. Augustine, Florida, and took his family with him as would be expected, but by now his family was somewhat smaller. Of his pre-war family that consisted of Shadrach, Drury, Thomas, Phillip, Samuel, Willis, and James, only Willis, Drury, Thomas, and his wife, Aurelia, would be with him in exile. Samuel, lame and married, probably remained in Georgia. Shadrach, Phillip, and James apparently were killed-in-action casualties, and it is believed that war wounds rather than sickness caused the deaths of Willis and James, the father.

NOTE: In her book, Marriages and Deaths 1763 - 1820, Mary Warren notes that the following obituary was printed in the Royal Georgia Gazette of Savannah and The Chronicle of Augusta, Georgia on 25 April 1782: Pace, James, Sr. Loyal refugee from St. Matthew's Parish,

died, no date.

At the conclusion of the war, by directive, General Leslie, the Military Governor of East Florida, authorized Willis, James' oldest son, to return to Georgia with a party made up of one male, one female, and two children - names were . not noted, but without doubt, the party consisted of Willis, his mother, Aurelia, and his brothers, Thomas and Drury.

The directive of General Leslie was dated 18 July 1783, and it can be assumed that Willis' party took off for Georgia shortly after that date. Because Aurelia arrived in Nova Scotia with three servants (slaves), it is wondered if the same three traveled from Florida with the party or if they were added to the party in Georgia for the Nova Scotia trip. Shortly after arrival in Nova Scotia, Aurelia's son, Willis, died and left Aurelia with the problems of being a single parent without adult support, but the condi­tion was probably eased because James' brother, Darius, lived in the nearby town of Rawdon.

It was while she was living on rented property outside of Rawdon that Aurelia wrote her petition for a land grant and explained her right to receive such a grant - and when sent, she included son Drury's petition for a similar grant. (Drury was 16 years old at the time.) Aurelia received her grant in 1787, but her land was later sold, and she moved to Halifax.

In 1786, Aurelia did place a claim for reimbursement of losses suffered as a result of her family's loyalty to England, but the claim was denied because it had not been submitted within specified time limits. Darius helped as much as he could, and on 13 February 1786, he wrote a de­position to support her claim. The effort was fruitless, but he did reveal some information about himself.

B. Darius (ca. 1750 - 1823)

Of the lists of offspring that I have seen credited to Richard IV and Elizabeth Caine, the last child is un-named and is identified merely as "daughter" without dates of birth or death. Since "Daughter" is the last child, it may be assumed that it is also the youngest child. I have never seen Darius named in a list of Richard's children, and one guess is that an early researcher misread the name of Darius, and the error has continued throughout the years. If proof is required that Darius is indeed of this Pace family, then it may be found in the deposition that he made in 1786 in behalf of Aurelia. In his sworn statement, he identifies himself as the brother of James and that he is of Georgia. In this country (USA) there are few records that mention Darius. The 1783 Spanish census of St. Augus­tine, Florida, notes that he lived on the banks of the St. John River with his wife and two children, that he was a farmer, and that he intended to leave Florida. Dr. Troxler of the University of North Carolina noted Darius in her doctoral thesis but incorrectly named his wife as being Aurelia, who actually was the wife of James.

It is believed that as a young person, Darius sailed to Wales, and when he became an adult, he carried on a courtship

with Dorothy Raines, became a married man, and started his family. All indications are that his first child was Frederick (b. 1779) and his second was Sarah (b. 1781), and these two children were with him in St. Augustine, Florida. There are indications that he may have joined the British navy while in Wales, that he was mustered out of service and then sailed to Florida to be with his dying brother, James. (Of course the above is conjecture, and a story told to fit the facts.)

The deposition of Darius to benefit Aurelia states that he was in Florida from 15 July 1783 to 25 March 1784, and because he had told the Spanish census taker that he in­tended to leave Florida, it is taken for granted that he and his family would be aboard the first available trans­port ship supplied by the British. That would be the Argo which sailed from Florida in June of 1784 to arrive in Halifax on 13 July 1784. There were no Paces among the 260 passen­gers, but most of the Loyalists were relocated in 1784 and Darius could have made the trip on the Tartar, the Spring, or possibly, the Cyrus, all of which continued duty into 1785. Whatever caused the delay, it was Darius' good fortune that he missed sailing on the Argo because on arrival in Halifax, NS, both the crew and passengers were in extremely poor condition due to sickness and the stormy weather en­countered at sea.

Loyalist transport ships picked up their passengers at St. Augustine, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia; in 1784 and 1785.

Once settled into his new environment, Darius apparently conducted himself well and maintained an interest in land, lumber, and farming. It would seem that only Shadrach, his youngest son, felt drawn to the sea - and it could be that he was following in the footsteps of his father. Perhaps the strongest indication that Darius served in the British navy is contained in a written account of his apparently wild exuberance in the celebration of the war-time exploits of Lord Nelson, the British Admiral. Naming a nearby great rock, "Admiral's Rock", he sang loud and appropriate songs and added gun shots to increase the effect - all in cele­bration and to show his admiration for Lord Nelson. Such a strong and emotional feeling is usually fostered by a previous affiliation with a highly esteemed and honored public figure, and this same feeling is evidenced by many World War II veterans who were led by General George Patton.

While in Nova Scotia, Darius and Dorothy increased their family and the final count was ten children, but only seven birth certificates could be located in Nova Scotia, which could indicate that three births took place before 1784.

(Yarmouth Papers)

In 1822, Darius and Shadrach set sail from Halifax, NS, to visit southern United States, and according to an affidavit by Shadrach, who returned to Nova Scotia, Darius died in South Carolina in August of 1823. The affidavit did not include a precise date or location of the death and no death certificate has been located, but it is believed that such a certificate would contain the information that Darius was born between 1748 and 1750 and was approximately 75 years of age at his demise.

Because parents, Richard IV and Elizabeth Caine, and brother Silas, all of South Carolina, were deceased, it is felt that the purpose of the trip was to allow a last contact and visit with Frederick Pace of Wales and his sons, John, William, and Dempsey. If this purpose was indeed so, then Darius surely suffered a great disappointment. The census of 1800 contained the names of those four people, but in the following years, the family split and by 1823, had moved further south to Alabama and Mississippi.

If it could be discovered, the relati Frederick and his sons would in all p terest.

The Value of the Yarmouth Papers

Public Archives of Nova Scotia (Pans) RG 20, Series A, Land Grant Index 1770-1840 (#5) reveals that in 1810, Darius' family consisted of ten children, but of that ten, only Shadrach and two of the five children noted in the Yarmouth Papers excite my interest. These two, Frederick and James, and Sarah Beiswhanger of the Guysborough County census, are the first three children of Darius and Dorothy, and because they were not born in Nova Scotia, there are no birth certificates available to Canadian researchers. James is important because he supplies a missing name. Frederick is particularly important because he not only supplies a missing name, but he also supplies the link between the Nova Scotian Paces and the New Brunswick Paces, and thus provides an unbroken line from the Jamestown, Virginia, Paces (1611) to the New England Paces of the present day. Shadrach is important because he supplied the descendants who maintained contact with the descendants of Frederick and thus proved that Frederick and Shadrach were brothers and sons of Darius and Dorothy.

B3 Sarah (1781 - )

In the 1871 census of Stormont District of Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, the following entry is shown:

"Beiswhanger, John Adam, 94, born in Germany, Farmer. Sarah, his wife, 90, born in the United States."

On 11 January 1873, the Acadian Recorder, a Halifax news­paper, printed the following obituary (p.2 col.5):

"Death of John A. Beiswhanger on Christmas day (1872). Had been married 66 years to Sarah Ann Pace, and they were the oldest living couple in Nova Scotia. Mr. Beiswhanger was born on the Rhine in 1779. When 18, he was conscripted into the army. Later volunteered in the 60th Rifles and came to Nova Scotia, securing his discharge here. I_\ 1806 he married Miss Pace of Hali fax, daughter of an American Revolutionary from the south, and had nine children scattered from Nova Scotia to California."

NOTE: The above information places Sarah's birthdate at 1781, which was two years before Darius' arrival in St. Augustine, Florida, and could indicate that her place of birth was Wales.

B2 James ( - }_

James, as noted in the Yarmouth Papers, is totally without statistics, and the only comment that "he returned to the plantation and made millions" is to be doubted. This state­ment is typical of claims sometimes included in family myths,

8

and it indicates the author's desire for family accomp­lishment. However, it may be expected that Darius would name one child to honor his oldest brother and fellow Loyal­ist, and this is one of the reasons why the listing of James as a child of Darius is seen as being valid.

C (Bl) Frederick (1779 - 1879)

The third and oldest child named in the Yarmouth Papers is Frederick, and he is buried in the same plot with his wife, Sarah Belyea, in the cemetery of St. Peter's Anglican Church (RR#6), Fredericton, NB. His gravestone carries the follow­ing information:

"Frederick Pace died May 12, 1879, aged 99 years. His wife Sarah died August 16, 1894, age 95 years."

Note: Sarah died on 14 August 1894 and her body was sent from New Hampshire to Fredericton for burial.

Additional evidence that Frederick is the son of Darius is shown in the York County censuses of 1861 and 1871 which offer the information that he was born in Nova Scotia. The census informant lacked precise knowledge, but he did indi­cate that Frederick had a connection with that province.

It is anyone's guess of why or when Frederick left Nova Scotia and how he first came in contact with Sarah Belyea and her family, but one thought is that he was seeking more fertile farmland than was offered by Nova Scotia.

Frederick and Sarah Belyea were married on 8 November 1827: Fred, a bachelor and a laborer, and Sarah, a spinster and the granddaughter of a wealthy farmer - Henry Belyea.

NOTE: Henry was a Loyalist and a successful farmer of Sleepy Hollow, NY, but his property had been confiscated, he was severly persecuted for his political beliefs, and he started a new life by migrating to Greenwich, Kings County, NB. He received his land grant in 1783 and developed it until once again he became a wealthy man.

There is no record on hand of when Frederick started his farming activity in Kingsclear Parish of New Brunswick, but the 1851 census lists him as being a farmer. To support that information is a record of him being appointed an area Hog Reever, a position that required the enforcement of laws that dealt with the breeding and slaughtering of hogs (1851). There is a record that he purchased eight additional acres of land in 1852. It would seem that Frederick kept himself busy and there are records in McAlpines and Hutchinsons City Directories that show that in addition to his farm work, he also worked as a teamster. Frederick worked his 122 acres until age slowed him down and by 1861, when he was 82 years of age, he worked only ten of those acres and took care of

one milch cow, two beef cattle, seven sheep, and one swine. The census taker of that year saw fit to also list 72 pounds of slaughtered pork.

Sometime prior to 1877, Sarah and Frederick moved to the town of Portland, NB, just outside the city of St. John, ostensibly to spend their final years, and while there, Frederick and Sarah sold the eight acres that they had acquired in 1853. Portland, once a town and then a city, lost its name and status when annexed by the city of St. John and became known as the North End of St. John. It was probably in this section of St. John that Frederick died on 12 May 1879.

to tradition, on the demise of Frederick, Sarah became of the family of George, her youngest son, and she is

Belyea family

The founding father of the American Belyeas was Louis Boulier who landed in New York from Sainlonge, France, in 1690. Even as Belyea is a variation of Boulier, so are the family names of Bulyea, Bilyea, Beljee, Belyee, and Boyle.

The New York Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was selected as his haven, and it was there that he married a Dutch girl, Ametje Konnick, in May of 1697. Their three children were:

Jan b. 1698 Jacob Baptized 25 March 1706 Catherine Baptized 1712

Hendreck, Sarah's grandfather, was the oldest son of Jan

10

(shown above) and Helena Williams, and even as Louis was the patriarch of the American Belyeas, Hendreck was the patriarch of the Belyeas in Canada. He was raised in Phillipsburgh, NY, and married his first wife, Deborah Carpenter, on 24 November 1739, and she bore him four children. He married his second wife, Englete Storm Yerkxa, in March of 1755, and she increased the number of his off­spring to 13.

After several of Henreck's sons joined the British army to fight against the Patriots, he lost his property to confis­cation, and he migrated to New Brunswick in July of 1783. He was termed "A United Empire Loyalist" and in 1787 re­ceived a land grant situated on the St. John River.

The eighth child of Henreck (by this time, the name was anglicized to Henry), was named for his father. He was born in 1766, raised in Phillipsburgh, NY, and in 1793 he married Mary Parks, who died in the same year as did her husband (1849). They are buried in Oak Point region of New Brunswick. Sarah was their fifth child.

CI Charlotte, first child of Frederick (1828 - 1895)

Charlotte's first husband was Sea Captain Busby Munroe and by him she had one child, Emily Annette (Nettie). Captain Munroe was lost at sea, and Charlotte's second husband was Sea Captain Robert Scott who adopted Emily Annette. Capt. Scott died in St. John, NB, in 1893, and with Charlotte," is buried in Fernhill Cemetery of St. John. Emily Annette (Nettie) married Sea Captain A. Norman Smith who died at Antwerp and he was buried in Yarmouth on 5 August 1903. Captain Smith's ship was the SS Nemea.

C2 William, second child of Frederick (1830 - I

William was born in Frederickton, NB. On 3 August 1854 he married Emaline Applebee, and the ceremony was witnessed by Mary Pace and James Anderson. On 31 December 1864, widower William married spinster Ann Guthrie at the St. Paul's Church of Fredericton, and the question arises: Did William marry a third time? The Yarmouth Papers name William's wife as Ada? and list her children as Charles, Amelia, George, Ada, and Fred. Because the 1861 census shows granddaughter, Amelia, (b. 1856) and grandson, Fred, (b. 1858) as visitors of Frederick and Sarah and probably children of Emaline, the answer might be that wife Emaline was possibly known as Ada. William's son Fred died in Manchester, NH, shortly after being struck by an automobile and his death certificate shows that Emaline Applebee was his mother and his place of birth was Fredericton. He was a widower and his date of death was 3 November 1934. He is buried in the Wyoming Cemetery of Melrose, MA. As

11

William was, Fred also was a farmer and a teamster.

C3 Martha, third child of Frederick (1832 - I

The Yarmouth Papers say that Martha married a Lt. Swann and moved to England. She was born in Frederickton, NB. No other statistics have been found.

C4 Darius, fourth child of Frederick (1834 - 1874)

Darius had a short life span. He was born on 17 April 1834 in Kingsclear Parish and died in 1874. On 28 December 1859, he married Sarah Moran at the St. Paul's Church of Fredericton,

At 17 years of age, Darius is shown in the census of 1851 as being the servant of Thomas Lee, the provincial Receiver General, but the position probably had some disadvantages and in the same year, he went to work for a Ketchum family who owned a shop in Fredericton. Darius was a live-in employee.

Like his father, Frederick, Darius became a teamster in Fredericton and he probably helped on the farm, but the impression is given that he was more fitted to be a clerk of some sort.

Darius had three children: George Busby (3 Dec. 1860 - 4 Aug. 1864) Frederick (8 May 1865 - 18 Sept. 1868) Charles Alexander (2 Oct. 1867 - )

After the death of Darius, his widow, Sarah, (1838 - 1921) married Thomas Odpur Sewell (1831 - 1914), the next door neighbor of Darius and Sarah. The three adults and two children, George and Fred, are buried in the old Burying Ground of Maugerville, NB.

It is noted that the newspapers, The Colonial Farmer and the NB Reporter, on 25 September 1868 published the infor­mation that "a son of Mr. Pace of Fredericton was accidently scalded to death by falling into one of the bleach vats in the Whittaker Tannery at Sunbury Street last Thursday. The little fellow, who was only five years old, lingered for seven hours in untold agony." (This child is believed to be Fred, son of Darius.)

C5 Mary, fifth child of Frederick (1836 - 1932)

Mary was born on 4 July 1836. She married Alfred Edmonds in Fredericton on 10 February 1859. She died in St. John city on 5 April 1932. Her marriage license reads: "Alfred Edmonds, bachelor of the Parish of Fredericton in the County of York, and Mary Pace, spinster of the Parish and County aforesaid, were married by license with the consent of

12

friends on 10 February 1859 by Rev. Brooks, Minister of St. Paul's Church, Fredericton. Filed and registered on 31 December 1859. Witnesses were Thomas Hilford and Mrs. Godsone."

Her obituary, dated 5 April 1932, gives much information about Mary.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Edmonds April 5, 1932 (Yarmouth Papers)

"The death of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Edmonds, widow of Alfred Edmonds occurred yesterday in her 98th year at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. R. E. Plumpton, with whom she made her home. Mrs. Edmonds, formerly Miss Mary Pace, was of Loyalist descent on both sides of her family and was born in Spring Hill near Fredericton. She had been living in St. John since her marriage in 1859 and had many friends throughout the province who will regret to hear of her passing. Her husband was a native of London, England. Mrs. Edmonds, who had been an attendant of Trinity Church, was the oldest member of St. Peter's Anglican Church of Spring Hill. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. R. E. Plumpton of this city, Mrs. K. A. Harrison of Boston, and Mrs. Sara Hargraves of New York. The funeral will be held from her late residence, 169 Went­worth St. at 2:30 Thursday afternoon to Fernhill Cemetery. Rev. C. Gordon Lawrence, Rector of the Trinity Church will officiate."

Edmonds Family (Yarmouth Papers)

"Robert Edmonds married Julia King in London, England. They had three children: Robert, Amelia, and Alfred. The son died at sea on a trip to Egypt. Amelia married a man by the name of Howard and they had one daughter, Amelia. Aunt Amelia broke her back after she became a widow and was bedridden for 21 years. She did lovely fancy work and made all the caps for the nurses in the infirmary where she was until she died on 8 March 1907. Robert Edmonds, the father of the above mentioned children, died in London, England, on 28 December 1861. Alfred Edmonds came to St. John in 1858. He was shipwrecked and he with two other men were the only ones saved. On 10 December 1859, Alfred Edmonds married Mary Pace in Fredericton and their seven children were:

Charles d. 1915 in St. John Harry B. d. 1875 in St. John John Medley d. 1923 in New York (John was named for Bishop Medley)

Frank Richard d. 1890 in St. John Emily Amelia d. 1951 in Boston, Mass. Annie Louise d. 11 April 1952 in Montreal Sara Isabella Edmonds Hargraves is still carrying on."

(This daughter of Mary Edmonds is her family historian, and she initiated or collected the Yarmouth Papers.)

13

"The only living descendant of Mary is Kenneth Ewing Plumpton, the son of Annie Louise and Robert Ewing Plumpton. He was born in St. John, NB on March 8, 1907, and is living in Montreal"

"Alfred Edmonds died in St. John, NB, on September 28, 1878, the year after the fire that destroyed about two thirds of the city. My mother was left a widow with six children. Mother lived to be 98 and died in St. John, NB, on April 5, 1932. Her only surviving child is Sara Isabell Edmonds Hargraves, and the only grandchild is Kenneth Ewing Plumpton."

C6 Emily, sixth child of Frederick (1841 - 1918)

Very little is known of Emily. The family referred to her as Emmy. She was born 7 August 1839 and was baptized 15 June 1845. She married John Richardson, a farmer, and the couple were childless.

D (C7) George, seventh child of Frederick (1841 - 1918)

As a young merchant sailor, George worked a ship to London, England, and once there, he stayed long enough to court Sarah Hyde, the daughter of a London baker. The couple were married, and their first child, Charles Darius, was born 2 February 1868. George waited until son Charles was about two years of age, and then the family embarked for St. John, NB. It is unclear if George resumed his work as a sailor or if he moved from St. John to Fredericton and then to Spring Hill after arrival in St. John, but it is known that on the demise of Frederick, George followed the tradition of the time, and as the youngest son, he accepted his mother into his family and thus provided for her care. It would seem that the frailities of old age did not slow George's plans and Sarah was included in the migration to the USA at a later date. According to George David, great-grandson of Frederick and son of Charles Darius, George's family moved to "the States" in the late 1800's, but there is some doubt of the exact date. (Generally, the family was imprecise in tying events to dates.) Because mother Sarah died in August, 1894 with an address of Newington, NH, family migration must have been prior to that time, but if the second Naturalization Papers of Charles Darius are to be believed, the migration took place in 1880. However, the 1881 York County census indicates that George, his family, and mother were still in New Brunswick at that time and migration must have taken place at a later date. George became the patriarch of the New England Pace family and his history is continued on page 16.

C9 Sarah, Ninth child of Frederick (1851-1940) (Yarmouth Papers)

DB 12 May 1851 PB Fredericton, NB Md John Henson, 1876 in Boston, Mass. (John died in

1931 at Port Angeles) DD 24 March 1940 (Easter Sunday)" PD Port Angeles, Washington

"Mrs. Sarah Pace Henson, 88, widow of the late John Henson, Sr., a pioneer of Port Angeles and Alaska, died at her home, 119 East Ninth Street, Easter Sunday afternoon after an illness of more than two weeks. She settled in Port Angeles 52 years ago."

"Sarah Pace was born at Fredericton May 12, 1851. She went to Boston, Mass. when a young girl and was married to the late John Henson, Sr. there 64 years ago. The young couple went to St. Louis, Mississippi in 1878 and lived there until 1888 when they came to Port Angeles. In 1889, Mr. Henson went to Alaska and settled at Douglas. Mrs. Henson and the children followed in 1902 and they remained there until 1921 when they returned to live at their old home. Mr. Henson died nine years ago."

"Both Mr. and Mrs. Henson were members of the Puget Sound Co-operative Colony at St. Louis where Mr. Henson was secre­tary. When the colony moved to Port Angeles in 1887, Mr. Henson was urged to remain in St. Louis to help organize a band of settlers. They came here on June 3, 1888 and took up a home on the tidelands at 119 East Front Street. Mr. Henson soon went to Aberdeen, which was just being settled and lot jumpers tried to take the home away from Mrs. Henson but she defended it and while doing so, was severely cut across the hand with a hatchet. The Front Street lot and building are still the property of the family."

15

"When what is now Cherry Hill was opened by the government to settlement in 1892, Mr. Henson went by trail into the dense woods and put down the stakes where the present house is located. Her house was the first large frame dwelling in the Cherry Heights district and the lumber for its con­struction was packed in on the backs of workmen from what was called the Meager Farm Road, several blocks away. Having seen Port Angeles emerge from a struggling settle­ment along the beach, Mrs. Henson was intensely interested in the city and its growth. She took such a prominent role in its early history that she never tired of relating stories of early days and her part in the making of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Henson were among the group of people who established St. Andrews Episcopal Church here and aided in erecting the First Episcopal Church building."

"Having joined the Order of the Eastern Star in Alaska, Mrs. Henson affiliated with the Ester Chapter here 20 years ago, and up until a few weeks ago was a regular attendant of that chapter's meetings. Mrs. Henson had a keen mind that time did not dim. She had traveled extensively over the U.S. and Alaska and she was a profound student of the bible, deeply religious but tolerant in her belief."

"Descending on her father's side from English Loyalists who fled from Virginia to Canada during the Revolutionary War, and on her mother's side from Hugenots who left France on account of their religious belief, Mrs. Henson inherited their love of freedom of thought and action and was willing to defend her beliefs to the last."

Descendants of Sarah and John Henson are: Children Fred P., bn. 6-12-1878, County Auditor of Clallam

County, Washington.

NOTE: The obituary of Mrs. Fred P. Henson appeared in the Port Angeles Evening News on 12 June 1940. She was a graduate of Bellingham Normal School in the class of 1900 and taught in Alaska and Washington. She is survived by her husband Fred, County Auditor, sons Harry, of the Roosevelt High School faculty, John, a grocer, two brothers, Dean and Paul Fletcher, and three grand-daughters, Jeanne, Patricia and Ebeth.

George, son of Frederick Pace and Sarah Belyea, had little formal education and like most of his contemporaries, his goals were shaped by labor on the farm, prevailing social mores and the desire to survive. It would be wrong to say that the family ignored the benefits of religion because they baptized their children and said prayers for their dead, but the impression is given that they felt that God was not a part of the real world that they lived in. There is no doubt that there were members of the family who were strongly attracted to other denominations, and the Pace family is represented among Quakers, Presbyterians, Unitarians, and others. Frederick, the patriarch of the New Brunswick Paces, is shown in a Mormon report as being sealed to his wife in a ritual that assures the communicant that even as the two were bonded here on earth, so would they be bonded together in heaven. However, as Loyalists with strong ties to Eng­land, the Paces traditionally leaned toward the Anglican church.

Following in the footsteps of his older brother, Darius, George began his adult working life as a servant to one George Gordon, but the title of the job was probably as offensive to him as it was to others of that era, and George took another position. The decision to make a change affected his entire future - George became a merchant seaman.

Between 1861 and 1867, as a seaman with Liverpool, England as a port of call, George met and married Sarah Hyde, the 21 year old daughter of a Liverpool baker. A year later, in February 1868, their first son, Charles Darius was born. George waited a short time until his family could endure the trip across the Atlantic from Liverpool to St. John, NB, Canada, and by 1870 (the year he was tried for stealing timber from the Kingsclear wood lot of one George Minchen) he was firmly ensconced in New Brunswick. The wood lot incident is important because it notes the approximate time of the trip from England to Canada.

17

It would seem that each member of the family had his own sense of time, and in the absence of written family records, (no one could write) information given for any reason was generally dispensed without too much concern for the accuracy of time. Hoping for accurate dates, a copy of the Natural­ization Papers of Charles Darius was obtained from New Hamp­shire, but conflicting dates were given for the arrival time of George's family into the United States. Then the guess­ing game started. The 1881 census of York County, New Bruns­wick, Canada, shows that George, his mother, Sarah, and his minor children were living in Kingsclear. To reinforce that information, baptismal records show that Emily Gertrude was born in 1881 and baptized in January 1882, and Robert, the youngest child of George and Sarah, was born in Boston in 1887. It is not known how much time was spent in Boston, MA or after moving to Maine, how much time was spent in York Village. It is known that York Village and Kittery Point, Maine are in close proximity to Newington and Portsmouth, NH, and that family members worked in Portsmouth. Juggling the information shown on Sarah Hyde's death certificate, it is guite easy to see that the Pace farm in Newington was pur­chased in 1891 - but the years of arrival at and departure from York Village remain a mystery. The Paces were workers, and the Portsmouth City Directories show that family members were employed in that city as laborers, hostlers, clerks, watchmen, etc. during that time.

In 1906, after an eight day illness, George's wife, Sarah, died of pneumonia, leaving George alone after some 39 years of marriage. She is interred in the Newington Cemetery in Lot 72, the Pace family plot. Grandchildren George and Dorothy provide flowers for the lot each Easter.

In 1908 George married a second time at age 67 to a 45 year old English woman, Emma Hood Paris, whose former husband was David Paris, a Sea Captain of Dundee, Scotland. There has been no indication of what became of Captain Paris, but the union did produce a child born in Dundee and named Barbara Maude. Barbara Maude became a school teacher, mar­ried a Mr. Lamb, was divorced, and in 1899 with her ten

18

month old child, Victoria, sailed to the USA. In 1907, a year after the death of Sarah, George's wife, and five years after Barbara married Charles Darius, Emma Hood Paris had a burning desire to visit her daughter, Barbara Maude, and her grandchild, Victoria, and sailed from Southampton, England to see them again. Emma married George, and surely the marriage must have been the biggest mistake of her life. According to Victoria (Barbara's child), the couple lived together for less than six months before they found that they couldn't stand each other: George stayed home in Newington and Emma trekked to Boston for employment as a short order cook in the old North Station of the Boston and Maine railroad. At a later date she worked for the world famous Parker House hotel. Emma's granddaughter, Victoria, said that there was a divorce but papers were never located.

No children were produced by this marriage. Emma's vital statistics appear below:

George had made a happy choice of locations when he purchased his farm in Newington, NH. He was in a farming area, in close proximity to a large and thriving city, and only a few miles from the U. S. Naval Base of Portsmouth, an in­stallation that could and did supply employment for family members. The situation improved on 4 July 1954 when ground was broken for the construction of the Pease Air Force Base and came to fruition on 1 January 1955 when command was given to Col. A. A. Andrea. Named for a Medal of Honor recipient from Plymouth, NH, Capt. Harl Pease, (WWII), the base contained approximately one half the land area of New­ington and effectively diminished the town's importance as a farming area. With the loss of their farm to the U. S. Air Force Base, the Pace family became interested in work that offered regular hours and steady pay.

Charles carried on his courtship of Belle Walling, the daughter of a commercial fisherman who was based at Kittery Point, Maine, from the family farm in Newington. The couple were married on 17 April 1895 at the Portsmouth Episcopal Church by Rev. Harry Emerson Hovey, witnessed by Sarah Pace and Mary Walling, and took up residence in Newington. Ralph Edward was the only child born of this union, and the couple were divorced on 7 April 1898 with the custody of Ralph going to Alice Belle. Divorce from Charles spelled near poverty for Belle, and she worked for several years beside her mother, employees of the same commercial laundry on Washington St., Portsmouth. In 1928 she became the housekeeper of Harry Stackpole of 42 Pen-hallow St., Portsmouth and for several years held down the two jobs of Laundress and Housekeeper. For the moral sup­port that she needed, Belle did not take the conventional road to religion, but instead turned to Spiritualism and eventually became a lay-reader in the movement.

THE WALLING FAMILY

On 24 February 1863, the notice was recorded that the home­stead, land and buildings of Mary Phillips of Kittery, Maine, York County, were willed to Mary J. Walling, wife of John Walling, Mariner. This land was registered in Ek 286 pg. 421 on May 26, 1864 and showed that Mary Phillips had obtained this land from Landon Carter. The land abutted that of A. Dearing and Wm. Tobey. This notice established the home area of John Walling and the fact that he was a mariner. John died sometime between 1880 and 1888, and he left be­hind the family shown on the 1880 census as follows:

Mary Jane Phillips-Walling 38 Mother, homemaker John - Father, seaman, hostler, George R. 15 Fisherman (sailmaker. John 13 Student Willie D. 11 Student Mary M. 8 Student Alice Isabelle (Belle) 6 At home Florence M. 2 At home

In 1895, Alice Isabelle (known as Belle) married Charles Darius Pace and the union produced Ralph Edward Pace. Alice's brother, John Jr. (1867-1940) married Emma Mae Veazey (1885-1967) daughter of Dan Veazey and Nellie Sipple, and about 1922, the families of Ralph and John, Jr. were established at opposite ends of the small town of Saugus, \MA. In the early years the families carried on visitations and both families were visited by Belle who was living in Portsmouth, NH. But as the younger generations reached adulthood, there was little family interaction and they barely knew each other.

Barbara Maude Paris - Third wife of Charles Darius

Charles was married a third time to Barbara Maude Lamb Paris, a divorcee, and this marriage also failed - but not until 1925 and not until Barbara had presented him with six child­ren. Again, Charles seemed to be in a rush to get married and waited for all of four months before he took the plunge into matrimony: Hope springs eternal, and obviously, Charles wanted a family. Several events and decisions during the following years contributed to discord and one such event and decision began as a picnic for the family on an island off the coast of New Hampshire (name unknown).

As the boat in service tied up at the over-long pier used by the island, Charles noticed a fire that was putting the

1 1

pier in danger of destruction, and leaving the boat, he immediately attacked the fire using his one and only suit coat as a flail. Charles was commended by the owner of the pier who offered him a job in Aurora, IL, as a sheet metal worker and followed up on the offer by sending Charles a suit of clothing to replace the clothing damaged by the fire.

Charles accepted the offer, and the family stayed for about three years. During that time, son Brandt was born (1915), Victoria, daughter of Barbara Maude by a previous marriage, met and married Boyd Acox, and Charles took a fall that somehow netted him considerable money. (Information from Victoria) It was with this that Charles purchased the farm of 317 acres in Stratham, NH, a few miles north of Exeter.

Victoria describes Charles as a good man and a good farmer who kept twenty cows and three horses. There are no de­tails but Victoria speaks of Barbara working full time in Stratham while Charles was operating the farm. Charles, Jr., the youngest son, speaks of the farm as being extremely successful, and if so, perhaps the success of the farm was a contributing factor in the divorce action of 1925. What­ever the cause of such litigation, Charles Darius was not supremely sensitive in decorating his home with a picture of Belle, his first wife. Victoria, his adopted daughter, remembers that he identified the picture as that of an aunt.

Charles lived most of his life in the Stratham, Portsmouth, Newington, and Hampton, NH areas.

The divorce of Charles and Barbara Maude was finalized on 31 December 1925, and Barbara benefitted by gaining custody of the children and ownership of the 317 acre family farm. She sold the farm and lived on the proceeds for a number of years, but in the Portsmouth City Directories of 1941 to 1952 she is noted as being Madam Paris, Palmist and For­tune Teller.

Barbara Maude's vital statistics are shown below:

Note: The names of the children shown above represent the first few letters of the alphabet and might be termed the ABC's of the Pace family. If Charles had plans to substan­tially increase his family to match the alphabet, he could never expect to top "Bud" Pace of the hills of Saluda, NC, who sired 29 children. (See p. 67)

Charles died in the Portsmouth General Hospital while a resident of Hampton, NH. His will has a probate number of 275 94 and was proved on 25 June 1935. An inventory indicates that there was no real estate or money to be considered. The executrix was named as Aimee L. Gregory of Portsmouth, and she served without bond. There was no indication of Ms. Gregory's relationship to Charles and no provision was made for his children.

In the early years of her marriage, while living in Boston, she fell down the steel stairs leading to Boston's subway transportation system and injured her back so that she became a semi-invalid with difficulty in walking. She was an excellent cook and won several prizes for her recipes. Before her marriage she was employed in a West Upton hat factory for a number of years and three of her long time friends of those years, all deceased, were Ola Gordon, Marie Curry, and Roy Lyons.

Clouter Family Background

Clouter is a French name that in interpretation means "Maker of Shoes". While in France, the three Clouter brothers became Huguenots in their religious beliefs and then fled to Plymouth, England, during the religious wars of the time: a common occurrence after the Edict of Nantes in 1685. But when they arrived in England, they gave up their Huguenot beliefs and turned to the Methodist philo­sophy of John Wesley, only to be persecuted once more. • Again seeking to make an escape from the unpleasant situa­tion, they followed the custom already established and sent one brother to Newfoundland to establish an economic beach­head and send for other family members. The effort was successful and the family settled on Catalina Island in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. At the time, Newfoundland was an impoverished land with lumber and fishing as the only profitable industries.

The Clouter Family of Newfoundland

William Clouter married Elizabeth , both of Catalina, and produced the following children:

Hezakiah b. 16 September 1.844 Solomon b. 31 July 1848

* William John b. 1851 Elizabeth b.

27

* William John, born 21 August 1851, married Harriet Powell (21 May 1860 - 25 May 1956). William John skippered his own sailing ship when 23 years of age and was engaged in fishing on the Grand Banks, as well as hunting seals in Laborador. He was a fighter and a drinker until he married Harriet and then developed into a religious fanatic who was thoroughly disliked by his children because of his dicta­torial ways. Harriet kept the peace in the family when Capt William was at home, and when he went to sea, she worked harder than ever. Among her other chores, she raised sheep, sheared them, carded the wool, wove the cloth, and made the clothing needed. When William's voyages were especially long, she somehow made arrangements for child care and accompanied him, and it was on such voyages that two child­ren were born.

In his own way, Captain William was outstanding and can serve as an example of man fighting for survival in an economically deprived area. Harriet is to be cited as a wife and mother and was held in undiminished reverence by her children. Elizabeth, (Betsy), deserves note because of her Big Sister and interminable helping attitude toward every member of her family, but Joseph, (Josey), is perhaps the most successful of all the children. The family was large and members are shown below:

Joseph (8 Dec. 1880 - 16 Jan. 1948) WWI veteran. Twice married and twice divorced. No children. Established Newfoundland libraries.

Elizabeth (15 Oct. 1882 - ) Home maker. Twice married and once divorced. Second husband: Ernest Bradley, d. 26 Nov. 1958, Spanish-American War veteran. No children.

Hedley Vicors (19 Dec. 1884 - 5 Feb. 1900). Died a victim of a childhood disease.

Jessie (27 Oct. 1886 - ) Self-employed butcher in Marion, MA. Md. Marjorie . Sons: Malcolm and Homer, both college educated.

Dorcas Heald (4 Feb. 1888 - 30 Sept. 1983) Home maker. Md. Ralph E. Pace of Portsmouth, NH. Children: Joseph W., John R., Ralph E., Jr.

Sarah Penny (2 Jan. 1891 - 1977). Md. Clarence Staf­ford, Hotel Stewart and former teacher. No child­ren.

Fred Malcolm (18 Jan. 1894 - •) . Book critic and public relations officer of Salvation Army. WWI veteran. Md. Charlotte . 1 child, Harriet -college educated.

Rachel (6 Sept. 1896 - 18 June ). College house­mother, md. Glenn Marshall, former State Rep. and campground proprietor. No children.

William Lee (23 Oct. 1898 - 15 Jan. 1901). Death due to childhood disease.

Florence Belie(4 Nov. 1900 - ). Md. James Graham, laundry proprietor. No children.

28

Lillian Mae (30 Nov. 1902 - ). Md. James Daughney, laundry proprietor. Children: Donald and Richard.

Joseph Clouter (1880 - 1948)

While other family members enjoyed success in the trade and service industries, Josey had no specialty but was a laborer, ending his existence as the sexton of a large Boston church. I see him as the most successful of all.

As a young person and according to the cultural demands, he accepted a large share of responsibility for the family. He made the initial migration of the family to the USA and became the pathfinder for the subseguent invasion by the Clouters. He followed the dictates of his conscience and when Canada entered the arena of WWI, Josey enlisted in the Canadian army as an ambulance driver, taking his training at McGill University. He was never wounded, but he did receive a dose of gas that bothered him throughout his remaining years.

He was twice married and twice divorced, but the marriages produced no children.

Josey never quite se each year he made a such trip, he noted ing villages had no educational reading, returned to his home lecting books in any them on his back, th zations - singly and arranged for their t land, and then at hi At a later date, he favor of the Canadia benefit the library of the success of hi

She married Stephen in 1953, and she is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire at Durham, NH.

E-5 Dorothy (1906 - ) Parents: Charles and Barbara

To my knowledge, Dorothy seems to have displayed a greater contribution to society than any other member of the Pace family and at the same time has enjoyed a full and interest­ing life. The story is worth relating.

When thirty months old, Dorothy was afflicted by poliomyelitis, was confined to a wheelchair, and although she wore braces, never walked again.

She graduated from the Bacall College for Crippled Children in Boston, MA while quite young and she accepted business activity as a life-goal even then. She operated a novelty shop and later added a "Doll Hospital" shop to expand her activities. A telephone answering service was added to her other work and she became interested in therapy for people who were victims of poliomyelitis. To satisfy her interest, she invented a specialized exercise table. Still reaching for ways to help other handicapped people, she built, organ­ized, and operated an industrial plant in Merrimac, MA, that employed only disabled people. Her work consisted of sub­contracting the production of items needed by factories in her area.

Her work has been recognized by numerous citations, as shown on page 68.

About 1980, Dorothy suffered a severe stroke that limited her communication faculties, and she is currently a patient at the Clipper Nursing Home, Jones St., Portsmouth, NH.

31

Her brothers, George and Ralph, were appointed conservators of her estate.

She is truly, a great lady.

Albert Frederick must have been married a second time because his will, registered 26 June 1984 (#57354) names his wife, Frances M. Pace, as the executrix, and names his three sons as beneficiaries: Albert Francis, David Stevenson, and Gary Erwin.

He was a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy for some 30 years as a rigger, and was in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, when the Japanese made their attack on 7 December 1941. During the attack no help was available to him and when he was wounded in the stomach by a strafing Japanese plane, he walked to the nearest hospital for treatment. Albert re­covered from his wounds, but he died on 27 March 1984 as the result of Brown Lung infection, and his family was successful in their litigation against Garlock, Inc. and the GAF Corporation for wrongful death.

activated into Federal Service, he was sent to Radio Oper­ators School at Noroton Heights, CT, and was graduated with a 3.5 GPA on 1 March 1941 and a promotion to Radioman Third Class. In response to his reguest for active duty, he was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania and joined his ship on 4 April 1941. Joe was killed by the single bomb that struck the Pennsylvania during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Joe was endowed with a talent for playing the violin and an excellent singing voice. These talents, coupled with an attractive personality and a well developed ability to get along with other people, assured observers that he would have a good and happy life. His death caused grief to many people and he is remembered today.

Note: The item shown on page 71 was written by Dick How-land, the same person who delivered Joe's eulogy in 1942. Now a retired school principal, he still remembers that Joe was the first Saugus KIA casualty of WW2.

Dear Sir:

- We have your favor of 30th.of January addressed to our Mr.B.J".Pearson,' Tou do not tell us the namd of your great grandfather,but we have

examined the records in tho Crown office,and find the only grants issued from 1765 to 1850 inollslvo aro as follows!

1765,Oct.24th. ' 3000 acres,Henry & John Pace,Shedlao. This ia in tho Province of Hew Srunawiok, . _ " . . . .

1785,Maroh 29th»15250. acres,fohn_Pace,Hiver Croix,

• 1786,Deo.20th._ 4100 acres,Widow, and John Paca,Baat of Rawdon,iianta Co

1787,Dec.20th. 4000 acres,Darius' Pace,Bast of Hanta Co.

1815 July 3rd. 2300 acres,Drury Pace,Chozzetoook,Halifax.Co.

1831,Jan.2nd. 250 acres,Hisbon Paco,Misquodoboit,Halifax'

184G,July 24th.- 290 acres.Ubeneqer Pace,St.Margaret's- Bay. Halifax Co.

1850,Doc.30th. 120 acres,same nan,same place , - ,

We went to the trouble of obtaining this muoh information for you, as lt waa not very difficult work,but if wo are to go further into tha • matter we sho-ild have to have a retainer fee-of say #25.00 Wo do not care to undertake work on a percentage baais. , ' . : ' - .

• sir.Austen of tho Crown Land offioa tells ua that'ho received a letter ," from you some tine ago,afld requested ua to say that ho has been so busy -preparing data for tho approaching session of our legislature and keeping up -hia official work at the same time,that he has not been able to write you, but we may say that it was. with hia assistance that wo have obtained tha information about xxa sat out. We'night say in conclusion that none.of. .. ' these grants cover anpland in the ;0ity-of Halifaxjor any so'far "as "we/• are aware might ba considered as valuable. Certainly none of them ara near Dedflord Basin on the shores of whioh ia situated "Price's Ledge",tha only' Royal cottage whioh we have in thia Province, If any of your ancestors acquired property In the neighborhood of Prinoo's" Lodge it must have been by Deed and to find out about that would involve a oareful aearoh of tha : recorda of the Registrar of Deeda for.thia county.

Toura very truly,

(signed) Pearson,Oover k Pearson.

The Pacesi- 4 4

My grandfather's name was Shadrack Pace. The relatives in Ecura Secum said he had a brother but we did not ask him his name. Altho' I have asked them when writing, they forget to mention it. ^aidie had a relative somewhere in Massachu­setts by the name of Darias Pace, Apparently there is no one hy that name in Ecum Secum now but as Saidie's mother and my mother were first cousins, it could have been the descend­ant tffthe original Darias, I do not know any© thing about!ithe brother's wife(s name but the wife of Shadrack — my mother's mother was Charlotte Ann Hodson, the daughter of the "Governor of Sable Island" ( in plain, terms, the lighthouse keeper). His name ?/as Hodson. Mary Elizabeth and Charlotte Ann were married in St. John andlived there for years and they knew each other, of course. But I was born in what they now call East St. John where the reversable falls are. We came to Boston when I was about t W e e . My mother used to talk a lot about her life in St. John and the various captains there,as so many seemed to be captains. It was all Greek to me as far as connersations went and the only thing I remember is the name Nettie Muroe whom I think was married to a Captain Robiason and then to a Captain Munroe or the other way round/ I think Cousin Emily & Saidie were the only ones who would know any thing about St. John. By the time we all got together again, I was in training or working and I don't think they ever talked about St. John — but they introduced us to you as cou-. sins, »-,..-.. i K K i rl , <-, >' -I think you and the Edmunds are first cousing's. I hope we are at least on the edge of cousin-ship anyway. ... . Av% The Edmunds & Macdonalds must be either 3rd or 2ndooueinifl once removed A I hopa.joa.fit I D — — there somewhere. Well. I have made so many mistakes because I've had many interruptions — & it is a hot day.

Paca family hlatory Contd. £™JL>< /XnvnjHo Charlotte Paoe married Capt,Honro*-they had one daughter Henrietta,

rho married Copt.A.Norman Smith,who died at Antwerp,He waa Capt.of tha 3.3. Remea.He wns buried in Tarmouthon August 5,1903. Capt.Smith'a widow diad in Yarmouth,N.3.

Frederick and Sally Paoe were grand parenta to tha Kdmonds family and Soott family

and great grand parenta to Kenneth 8. Plumpton, Horma Allen and Charlotte Eaton.

Hotf:The deaoendanta of the Jamea Baker Pao0,nhowent baok to the plan­tation ware the wealthiest family in Virginia.Jamea Baker employed a large staff of Indiana-one waa hia valet,and he had a brother who worked on the plantation,and he told them about an Indian masacre that had bean planned,so Junes Baker Paoe made arrangements to proteot the people, and sated the Uvea of 1000 white people. Chloo waa the nemo of the valet, and they ereoted a monument for him in Jameatown.

I apent several hours reading books abort tha Paoa family, while I was in Riobnond s few years ago. These booka ara In the Historical Library in Richmond, Virginia.

The last Jamss Pace waa the wealthiest wan in Hiohmnnd-had a fifty four room house, and gave the olty a ohuroh-Tha Face Memorial Church. Ha had three beautiful daughters-who resembled a oameo, butoll that we interlted was their beauty???? One of hie daughters (Mary Paoe) left a million dollara to charity.

I hare a friend in New Tork,whose grandmother waa a friend of the last grandmother Paca,who left my friend's grand­mother a beautiful mahogany table from the plantation In Jamestown.-My friend t\aa lt in her apt.I have known my friend for twenty flaa years,but only heard about tha table a little more than a year ago. "Stranger things in life occur,than fiotion tells,or poeta aver dream'1.

The Pace plantation was next to the Langhorn eatnta (Lady Astor)They are trying to restore Jamestown, and if you want to take an interesting and restful trip sometime-there is nothing better than the trip through Virginia. I do not know why I did not contact the Pace family years ago.Life might have been quite different for me now.Too bad that our family waa on the wrong side of the "fenoe". I often ssk myself the questlonfWhat prioa Loyalty?.

The Paoe family started the Knster Kgg Rolling in the White House grounds.This was written up in Chambers Magazine many years ago.

When tha two brothera cane to America in 1610 or 10J and went to Virginia,they had two couslna who came leter and settled in PonnsylTania. The Frank Pace,secretary of the Army ia a branch of that aide.

Proceedingi of the Georgia Council oj Safety. Proceedings of the Georgia Council of Safety.

At a meeting of the Council of Safety, Friday, Jan­uary 12th, 1776.

PRESENT:

George Walton. Edward Telfair. Ambrose W r i g h t Samuel Elbert. Joseph Habersham. Archibald Bulloch. Stephen Drayton . J o h n Martin. William Ewen.

WUUam Gibbons.

The President laid before the Board a letter from Luke Mann, Esquire, which, among other things, informed of the election of officers for a company of men in the Upper District of Saint Philip, and recommended Luke Mann as Captain, Israel Bird, First Lieutenant, Frederic Raster, Second Lieutenant, and Joshua Stafford, Third Lieutenant. Ordered that commissions be made out and sent to them accordingly.

Capt. James Gold wire and Lieutenant Richard Scruggs attended the Board and represented that they had re­ceived the orders of the President, commanding Capt. Goldwire to make a draught of one third of the com­pany and to march them down to Savannah; that in consequence of these orders, they draughted one third of the company and assembled them and ordered them forthwith to march to Savannah, and that not only every man draughted, but every man in the whole com­pany, except William King, absolutely refused obeying the said orders, whereby they could not comply with them.

They also represented that they had often heard James Pace, tavern keeper, and John Hall, planter, declare that they were King's men, and that all the men in the Cougress and Couucil of Safety were Rebels; and that they would oppose all their measures and that they wore welcome to try it when they pleased. They further ob­served that James Pace and John Hall excited the men of the said company to disobedience by their means and prevented some of them from coming to town and that they were of opinion that unless some immediate steps

are taken they will certainly do great harm to the pub­lic, and they also considered themselves in personal danger from tho said James Pace and John Hall, if they were suffered to go at large; therefore,

Resolved, T h a t James Pace, of the Pariah of Saint Matthew, tav­ern keeper, and John Hall, of the same place, are inimical to the liberties of America; and tha t the public safety is endangered by their going a t large.

Resolved, therefore, T h a t Colonel Drayton be appointed to com­mand the militia of the Parishes of Saint Matthew, Suint Georgo and Saint P a u l ; and t h a t as soon as he can uaoeioble a sufficient force, be .hull arrest and take the said James Pace and John Hail and bring them to Savannah ; and that be shall suppress and dis­perse by force all and every person who shall appear in arms in opposition to the measures of Cougress. or who shall declare against t he liberties of America.

Rssolved, T h a t Edwd. Telfair. Esquire, be appointed to go with and to aid and assist Colonel Drayton in the measures necessary to be pursued In order to the exeoution of the foregoing resolutions.

Resolved, T h a t all the officers and men in the Parishes aforesaid are bound to pay obedience to the orders which may be issued by Colonel Drayton, and tha t neglect or disobedience shall be pun­ished agreeable to the Regulations of Congress.

Resolved, T h a t the militia snail be paid a t the rates tha t were allowed to the militia called out to suppress the insurgents in South Carolina, and t h a t they draw rations in the same manner while employed in this service.

A Brief History of Florida

It is well to note that Florida was claimed for Spain by Juan Ponce de Leon on 27 March 1513 while on his search for the fabled Fountain of Youth. In the year 1565, St. Augustine became the first permanent settlement in the new world.

In 1768, the T Years' War and Britain in ret British create with the gover Florida with t 1783 the Briti Bahama Islands their demands Spanish subjec

reaty of Pa called for urn for Hav d two provi nment cente he governme sh traded F , and in th to the Loya t and accep

nd of the Seven lorida to Great was when the : East Florida tine and West ensacola. In anish for the nish presented Either become a get out!

The British were not unaware of the loyal subjects in Florida, and to facilitate the movement of those people who wanted to be relocated, British transport ships were provided - for those people who desired to help settle Stormont, the new colony in Guysboro County, Nova Scotia, farm tools and equipment were also provided. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas received their share of Loyalist settlers, but some returned to their homes in the United States.

It is certain that Darius and his family made use of this program, and it is very probable that Aurelia and her family did the same at a later date.

In 1821, Florida was purchased from the Spanish for $5,000,000, and in 1845, it became the 17th state to be admitted to the Union.

In the 1783 Spanish Census, Darius is shown as follows:

Pario Pace: Native of Georgia, he avails, by writing, of Spanish protection to retire, he has a wife and two sons (or children) his occupation farmer, he inhabits the South bank of the St. John's River.

August 25, 1977

Mr. J.R. Pace 1616 Brevard Rd. Henderaonville, N.C.

Dear Mr. Pace:

28739

It waa indeed a pleasure to hear from you pertaining" to the Pace Family back-ground. My brother George Pace who lives in Amesbury remembers more than I do, and recently told rae things about our family that I was not aware of.

My father Charles Darius Pace was born in England of English parenta. Waa brought up in this country and passed away at age 66. He had 13 brothers and one sister. They lived for a time in St. Johns, Hew Brunswick. Their livli-hood for the most part waa farming. My father's mothers name was Sarah, hia fathers name George. George was a rough sort of person who followed the shipping businesB by sea.

I have heard that some of the Pace's did have land in North and South Carolina and Virginia. Several of My fathers brother's settled in Newington and Portsmouth, N.H., as did my father and mother. V/e were all born in Newington, five brothers and myself. I had Polio at 2 \ years, both legs paralized. However, I have made the moat of what I had left, and now I am helping many other handicapped persons. "Enclosed Folder" of my work will explain to some degree.

To date I have received eighteen citations for this work including three Presidential Citations, and alife where-by I could use my head instead of my legs, as well as a strong pair of shoulders, and a brain. I drive a car with hand controla, and operate an industrial plant employing handicapped persons.

My life has been so full, I don't know where to begin to tell you about myself, but hope so much, some day to meet you. I will try to write again as there is so much to tell.

I must say in closing that I had a truly wonderful Mother, who was a school teacher in London, England. She uaed to tell me, "If you have the strength of "Will" you can move a Mountain."

My address is now changed from Middle St., Portsmouth as you can sea to 51 East Main St., Merrimac, Mass. 01860.

Sincerely,

CROSSCURRENTS Page 4 • NORTH SHORE: SUNDAY • December 11. 1983

It's a time to rememBer By DICK HOWLAND

E cclesiastes, the preacher, was right: "To everything there is a

season, and a time to every purpose under heaven ... a time to keep and a time to cast away."

So each of us from time to time rum­mage an attic, a closet, a box of brittle newspaper clippings, pictures and cor-

SITTING W respondence of decades ago. Over a life­time we continue to keep and cast away our memorabilia and the joys and hurts, the links of past to present they repre­sent.

Often a cold. gray, late autumn after­noon prompts such a project. Some­times we're just looking for an old snap­shot, find it quickly, but then browse for

minutes that turn into hours. That's how I came across a Christmas card I wrote over 40 years ago — a card 1 sent to a very good friend, a card that was re­turned undelivered, because the friend was "deceased."

Joe Pace was a radioman, third class, on the USS Pennsylvania, stationed at Pearl Harbor. He and the world were wounded Sunday, Dec. 7,1941. He never recovered and I'm not sure the world did either. Communication was Jiot what it is today. So I sent him the card and it came back to me, passed by a Naval censor, on New Year's Eve:;;: '

Joe had enlisted in the Navy when the United States was technically at peace. Like thousands of others, he joined for a lot of reasons. These were hard times at home and throughout the country. The United States was beginning to make patriotic noises*". The Armed Forces

were recruiting. He had no technical" training, no prospects, and no money.

But Joe had a great smile, a lot of friends, and a viobn he had to leave a t ; home. Joe was, in his own words, a fid­dler, not a violinist. He played with some small bands on Saturday nights around the North Shore. Occasionally! he played a solo in the East Saugus Methodist Church. But he played the' best and most often on Sunday nights at Epworth league (now Methodist Youth' FeUowship) meetings, when a gang of us went to some kid's house for cider and popcorn — and a memory.

We looked forward first to a distinc­tive, chilling voice on the radio saying, "This is Raymond, your host — wel-. come to Inner Sanctum.'' We willingly; succumbed to the mystery and fright that program was able to conjure up in those strangely slower and less sensa­

tional days before World War II. After that.someone would.go to the

piano in the living room, prop up the sheet music and play the latest songs on the Hit Parade and the inevitable sing-along classics.

And then someone always said, "C'mon, Joe, it's your turn.'.'.And so the fiddler played — bright and bouncy, sad and slow.

I forget every single plot of the radio mystery show, but 1 remember the fid­dler's.haunting rendition of Stephen Foster's,'.'Beautiful Dreamer."

And I remember Joe Pace. .; And I remember Pearl Harbor.
