Dear Pace Listers and Jim,

I have known for quite some time that my husband has
Pace blood, but I just this week was told by a
reliable researcher in Madison County, Georgia, that I
do as well. What a shock. It looks like my husband
and I may be related, but I need to go farther back in
his line to verify this. That's where I was hoping
the Pace List folks might be able to help. They are
so knowledgable.

My husband descends from Edward A. Pace, son of Daniel
Rice Pace and Martha Kirby. Daniel was Edward and
Elizabeth Potter/Rebecca Winegar's son. Was his
father William H? and mother Mary (possibly Adams?)
From this point back is where I need more info.

Here's my line: Richard Pace III & Rebecca Poythress;
Thomas Pace & Amy Boykin; Solomon Strickland & Amy
Pace; Ephriam Strickland & Nancy Daniel; Sophia
Strickland & Willis Porterfield; William H. (Bud)
Porterfield & Mary (Molly) McGee; Susan Effie
Porterfield & James Knox Landers; Jessie Louise
Landers & William Doyle Bennett and then Me - Linda
Bennett Harrington.

Any takers on this one? I would be most appreciative
for any and all clues. Talk about confused...

Thanks in advance for your help and for listening.
Linda
