    Notes 
    • Howard, In COLONIAL ANCESTORS points out that Isabella was a shareholder of the Virginia Company in her own right, citing the following land patent "Izabella Perry, wife of William Perry, Gent., 200 acres within the corporation of James City, 20 September 1628, at the South side of the plantation called Pace's Paines granted to herself and her late husband Richard Pace, dec'd, 5 December 1620....East to land granted to her son George Pace...for her own personal adventure being an Ancient planter & the other 100 acres as the devident of Francis Chapman...."

      Howard also noted that "in the early part of 1629, in England a suite in Chancery was filed concerning the estate of a man named John Riley, a merchant, of London. In order to get to the bottom of the facts in the case, which had been filed in the High Court of the Admiralty in London, the Court issued a subpoena to Mrs. Isabella Perry to appear before the Court and testify to her knowledge in the matter "Isabell, wife of William Perry, merchant of Virginia, aged 40...(testified as follows)...Last Christmas John Riley of London, merchant, lodged in her husband's house in Virginia and often said he was a partner in trade with William Crowther and Charles Whichcote of London, merchants...When he was in his last sickness, Rily arranged for her husband to mark tobaccos to be sent to John Holland and Rily's mother....." Whether her husband accompanied her to London is a matter of speculation, but I will bet he did, and was taking care of business while she was attending court business. It is possible that their children, George Pace and Henry Perry, also made this voyage there and back, but I doubt it (due to the costs involved)."

      Although some Pace researcher's think Isabella married third George Menefie, Howard refutes this theory. He believed that Isabella resided in Charles City County, Virginia, where she had moved to with William Perry in 1633, until her death.
