I'm researching the MACE families of Chester Co. and Delaware Co. in the 1700s and 1800s and have accumulated quite a bit of info (which I'm more than happy to share). There were not many MACE families living in the area during this time period ... I suspect they were all somehow related and I'm trying to untangle the relationships.

The following is but one of the families and I'm very interested in ascertaining just who Joseph MACE Sr.'s parents and siblings were. (Joseph MACE Sr. served three "stints" in the Chester Co. Militia during the Revolutionary War.)

(1)........Joseph MACE (Sr.)
b..........17 Jan 1758
............Westtown Twp., Chester, PA
mar......abt. 1780
............<Chester Co., PA>
............Margaret "Maggie" MURPHY

d..........after 1845
............<Chester Co., PA>
