Memorial to Piercy Pace
b 1869 HODNET
who died at Pretoria 1890

PACES
of Hodnet parish Shropshire

Hodnet Paces likely originated from adjacent PREES. The first Hodnet Pace family appears as JOHN and ANN - marriage not found. 1st child b 24 Feb 1675-76 Assuming JOHN was from Prees, I see three JOHNs of early 1650s Christenings - one died, possibly two.
  1. 20 JUN 1650 Father: JOHN PACE
  2. 03 OCT 1651 Father: JOHN PACE
  3. 27 APR 1652 Death: 15 DEC 1660 Father: GIDDION PACE
My assumption - if same father - JOHN PACE - the JOHN Chr. 20 JUN 1650 likely died and another JOHN Chr. 03 OCT 1651 - if same father so this JOHN would fit the Hodnet John Pace and Ann family.

Records show - THOMAS PACE b 28 May 1724 likely the THOMAS that MIGRATED to STOCTON and descendants - eastward to other Shropshire areas, ALBRIGHTON SHIFNAL WORFIELD PATTINGHAM in Shropshire, then to Staffordshire towns of WEDNESFIELD and WILLENHALL, where some became LOCKSMITHS

JOHN PACE whose wife was ANN
possibly was from the Paces of PREES where the PACE family went back a few generations, showing up as early as 1600. This JOHN PACE named a son ROBERT. He may have been from the PREES family, father ROBERT PACE Christening: 8 Jun 1606 Prees; his father being RICHARD PACE but this statement is just my speculation, rather than fact. You can view the PR entrys and make your own judgement.

1 JOHN PACE

likely JOHN PACE Chr. 03 OCT 1651
possibly the JOHN married ANN in early 1670's - no marriage found -
and first born - JOHN Chr. 1675-76

+ ANN - (surname unknown)
