James Pace

Abt 1753 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	James Pace  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1753
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Nash County Grant Book, Caveat No. 7 James Pace Enters 100 acres of Land in Nash County on the waters of Turkey Creek Joining Solomon Strickland Sen and Wm Pace & out for Complement 21 July 1784 Nash County Deed Book 2, pg 109 State of North Carolina grant to James Pace by Governor Sam Johnston...on November 26, 1789...a tract of 95 acres on the south side of Turkey Creek adjoining Solomon Strickland...etc. Although he applied for and eventually received a grant for this land he never lived upon it, nor did he keep the land. I am convinced that he sold his interest in this property before the grant was issued. I am further convinced he and Sarah, by the time the grant was issued, had already left the state of North Carolina It appears they may have moved onto Savannah Georgia, as the Georgia Gazette contains the following listing, Married--In Savahhah, James White Esq., to Mrs. James Pace, widow, on June 3rd 1790 (Howard, pp 150-151)
