I think I am descended from Jacob Pace and his wife Margaret McLean of Yarmouth Elgin County Ontario through their daughter Nancy Catherine Pace who married Simeon Jarvis Thayer. It is likely that George Thayer, a brother, married Mary A Pace, a sister to Nancy. I have been searching these ancestors for years with limited luck. My best guess at this time is that Margaret McLean was born about 1815 in Ontario to John Mclean (possibly an immigrant born in Europe)and Lucy French (probable daughter of Henry French UEL but born in USA and a grandson of the well known Samuel French the joiner of Huntington CT) and that Jacob was born about 1800-1810 married 1829 and died before 1861. I have seen indications that the ancestors of Jacob were in Canada due to their loyalist background and may have come from New Jersey. I have looked at possible parents as Michael and Annie but the dates do not seem right to match with Michael Pace of Long Valley Morris Co NJ married to Annie Margaret Welch or Welsch. One record I found says their Jacob was born in 1778. Much of my conjecture was formulated from study of Canadian census information of 1842 1861 and 1871. Living in 1861 in Yarmouth was a widow named Annie Pace who was 87 yrs old and who was born in USA. This could be Annie Margaret Welch if the date issues can be resolved. Michael Pace was listed as father of a Jacob Pace in the 1842 Yarmouth census. I hope someone can build on this and that more solid info can be found to help prove or disprove this conjecture.
