Betty,

I descend from a Willis Pace born in Wake Co in 1790. He married Polly
Gill and I was told that his father was a William Pace by a Pace
descendant. His father evidently died and his mother died and his
mother or grandmother was Anna Bunch Pace. I have gathered this from
records that Willis was adopted by Thompson Bunch (Anna's brother). Then
Thompson died and David Bunch ( another brother of Anna and Thompson
Bunch) took over the adoption and finished raising Willis.

Polly Gill's grandfather was Buckner Pace who moved to Raleigh in 1780's
or earlier from Va. Polly was given a gift of land from Buckner Pace
with her 3 sisters. Their mother was Tabitha Pace who was Buckner's
daughter who married Jesse Gill. I assume that Polly Gill and Willis were
cousins, which Marriage to cousins happened many times during that
period.

My Question is Do you have any information on these Paces who lived in
Wake Co NC?

Thanks,

Daniel Scarborough Hoyle
Gallatin Tn
