Our Colonial Ancestors 1619-1799- privately published pp89,91,95 & 113 Some Southern Colonial Families, vo 2 by David A. Avant, Jr., Lt Col. USAFR (Ret), L'Avant Studios, Box 17111, Tallahassee, FL 32303, 1982 p. 196 - "It has been claimed and widely published that Mary Pace was a daughter of a John Knowles and that this John Knowles "may have been" the Puritan minister brought down from Waterford, Conn., in 1642 to preaach to the people of Mansemond Co. This deceptive theory has no evidence to support the allegation except that a great grandson had the name of Knowles Pace. In spite of this absurdity we notice that some recent accounts still advance the claim in published form and thus perpetuate the delusion. Another school of thought believes that her maiden name was Baker. A letter dated 20 May 1971 from Miss Maud McLure Kelly (pace family scholar) to Mrs. Eleanor Pace Terrell states "Do not be led astray by these wild guessess which claim that Richard married Mary Knowles." (paage 197, regarding the Baker claim): Charles City Co., VA, Court Order Book 1664-1665), P 530 21 Jan 1664/5 - Deed of Gift from Richard Baker to Richard Pace of a parcel of land lying on the other side of the bottom on the west side of the aforesaid Baker's plantation containing 140 acres. Witnesses: William Harris, Patrick Jackson and Caesar Walpole. Richard Baker signs by his mark "X". Recorded 7 Feb 1664/5 Comment (by Co. Avant): Neither the reason fo the "Deed of Gift" nor the implied relationship of Richard Baker to Richard Pace is stated. Jester and Hiden (p.260) in the Pace Family chapter, states that "It is probalbe that Maary Pace was the daughter of Richard Baker of Chrarles City Co. who on 21 Jan. 1664/5 made a Deeed of Gift to Richard Pace."
