      Margaret Lillian, a Rutherford Co., Tennessee PACE
      Posted by: John R. CoxDate: September 26, 2001 at 00:27:08
      of 2913


      I have some information on my family that might be helpful. I am descended from
      a Rutherford Co., Tennessee PACE.

      My ancestor is Margaret Lillian PACE. We think that she is the daughter of William PACE, Jr. and Isabella FORTENBERRY mostly by the process of elimination (she cannot be the offspring of any of the other PACEs in Rutherford Co. at the time) but we also have some clues from the names that have been passed down through the family. Through my own and my mother's research as well as family stories we know the following facts:

      1. Margaret Lillian PACE is named thus because my mother's cousin, Margaret Lillian CHRISTIAN, was named after her, though we have found no record of her middle name.

      2. Margaret Lillian PACE was born about 1814-1815 in Rutherford Co., Tennessee.

      3. Margaret PACE (Maggie) married Peyton CHRISTIAN (born 1810 in TN) and they were issued a marriage bond on February 4, 1833 in Rutherford Co., Tennessee. James PACE was the bondsman.

      4. The CHRISTIAN family was living in Rutherford Co. at the time of the 1810 US census but were in Warren Co., TN by the time of the 1820 US census. Peyton must have gone back to Rutherford Co. to marry a family friend or neighbor.

      5. Maggie's eldest daughter, Frances Ann TATE nee CHRISTIAN (born June 24, 1837), named one of her children Isabella (born April 12, 1857).

      6. Maggie PACE named another of her children William Britton CHRISTIAN (born May 18, 1839 in Warren Co., TN) who could have been named after the Brittain PACE that died in 1825 in Rutherford Co. (possibly her brother) and/or perhaps that was the full name of her father.

      7. Peyton CHRISTIAN died about 1869 in the Cumberland Mountains on the border between Warren and Grundy Cos. They had 11 children; one died as a small child.

      8. On August 23, 1871 Margaret PACE CHRISTIAN married Isaac HILL, Sr. On October 16, 1871 Isaac HILL, Sr. died at the age of 73. He is buried at Hill's Creek Cemetery.

      9. Maggie died on January 10, 1901 and was buried January 11, 1901 in Cartwright Cemetery, Warren Co., Tennessee. She was 87 years old and 5 ft. 9 in. tall. The bill for the funeral was rendered to J.T. Hennessee. Her last residence was at Guide in the 5th District.

      Another family story is that we have Cherokee Indian blood through Maggie's line. I haven't been able to make a connection though I know some PACEs received land in Arkansas based on claims of Indian blood.

      If you want any more information regarding her children, let me know. William Britton CHRISTIAN was my great great grandfather. He took his family to Fountain, Colorado in 1888. I was born and raised in Colorado Springs.

      Look forward to helping in any way.
