Hi Scott,

We've written before but I saved all this, originally Clarinda Pace
BENNETT and Nova Scotia were mentioned. I have a daughter Clarinda Pace
and I'm related to Bennetts of Nova Scotia, the NS Paces also live down
the road in rural Cumberland Co NS but I'm not related to the NS Paces.
This gets too confusing because of the silly coincidences that occur, I
hope you understand, a strange story but there is some new stuff here,
maybe of use to you.

Another coincidence is the Fred Pace and now the David Pace, both of
these names I've been working on in Alberta Canada PACE history, the
whisky trade, the indians, the Mounties, a train robbery, some
shootings, all great stuff.

HI!
That is indeed a coincidence! Did you name your daughter after anyone?
My gg-grandmother Clarinda Pace Bennett was born in Yarmouth, NS, and
married James R. Bennett (B 1851), who was from England (no further
info). She was one of 16 children of Fred and Penelope Pace, who lived
in Canada and Port Huron around 1860-1900. I have the names of all the
children if you are interested. Do you know where your Pace relatives
are from? Let me know!
Happy Hunting!
Jeanette

YARMOUTH
At this point I should clarify about YARMOUTH as later in this letter
you'll read about another YARMOUTH, but that's a township of the
Province of Ontario.

The following David PACE might apply to your quest
because he's in the 1871 Ontario census as being 56 years old.
1871-56 = 1816
If he's the same David, it says above, he entered the US in 1862 but
maybe he returned to Ontario and this David from the US appears in the
1871 census.

In Ontario Canada 1871 census,
Hastings County, Sidney Township

PACE, DAVID
Age [56] Birthplace [UNITED STATES] Religion [ CP]
Ethnic Origin [GERMAN] District [60] Sub District [A] Division Page
[1] Page [25] County [HASTINGS] Description [Sidney Township.]

This Hastings Co. Sidney Twp is adjacent to me here in Ontario, so I
figure the David was living in what's called the "English Settlement"
near "Carrying Place", an age old portage where Indians would carry
their canoes the short distance from Lake Ontario to the Bay of Quinte
on their way to the Seneca Indian nation of the Finger Lakes area of
what's now New York State. This Quinte region of Ontario is a strong
United Empire Loyalist area of Ontario.
