I have a William Rugg Pace, b.07 Feb 1836 in New Lexington, Perry County, Ohio; d. 01 May
1923 in Wells County, Indiana; bur. Miller Cemetery, Chester, Wells, Indiana.
William's father was Chester Pace b. 16 Oct 1809 in Somerset, Somerset County,
Pennsylvania; d. 20 Jun 1862 in Chester Twp, Wells County, Indiana; bur. Miller Cemetery,
Chester, Wells, Indiana.
Chester's wife and William's mother was Priscilla King b. 28 Feb 1810 in Somerset,
Somerset County, Pennsylvania; d. 27 May 1862 in Chester Twp, Wells County, Indiana; bur.
Miller Cemetery, Chester, Wells, Indiana; married 18 Feb 1829 in Perry County, Ohio.
Chester and Priscilla had 10 children (that I know of), one of who was my g-g-g
grandmother, Mary A. (Pace) Crosby. Your William and my Mary were brother and sister.
The Miller Cemetery is about 4 miles from my home. I have more information. Specifically
what are you looking for? I believe there is a book on Pace ancestors at the Wells County
Library in the Indiana Room.
