I have Elizabeth Cain married to Richard Pace both born Jamestown, Va. 1700 thereabouts - married about 1723 Bertie, NC. Elizabeth is the d/o James Cain & Rebecca Moore
Richard Pace died 1775 St Pauls Parrish, Richmond, Georgia
Notes I have on Richard -
On March 3, 1732, William Cain, of Bertie Precinct, N. C. made his will, naming in it his sons William, James, Hardy and daughters Patience, Eunice, Sarah and Rachel, and this will was witnessed by "Richard Pace, Jr." and William Cain.
Possible will of Richard's father = Richard Pace -
