So the father JOHN may have been born in the 1630s or 40s
There are a few John Pace Christenings in the early 1600s in the Prees parish
registers.
I don't know all the children of John of Middlesex Co.
Do you have all the children of this John?
I copied down all the PACE entrys from the Prees PRs on the FamilySearch.org
site
then filled in the detail entry. The John who had a son John, may be one of
these.

I think Joseph and John were likely brothers. Joseph may have been older,
judging by the Christening dates. They both show on the WROCKWARDINE parish
registers, in the same decades, 1660 - 1670. There is not enough info from
the parish registers to determine where either Joseph or John settled. Their
Christenings were in the towns of Wrockwardin, Wellington & Rodington. These
three towns are about 4 to 8 miles apart and about 12 miles south of PREES
and about 8 or 10 miles west of SHERIFFHALES.
> "Is anything known about this Joseph?"
I don't know any more. There seemed to be some movement. I found another
Christening of an ANN PACE 02 NOV 1655 at Roddington Shropshire- father
Joseph

I'll send this now, and have a look again. The absence of Marriage details
makes it difficult to draw any conclusion on a John and Mary marriage prior
to 1662
Just looking at the choice of Christian names seems to indicate a closeness.
I put the three families on the Prees page in three columns
