Actually, I'm very familiar with Yarmouth in Ontario,
as the other Pace ancestor of mine (Hannah), was the
daughter of David and Catherine Pace (sister of
William Pace), and she married Darwin Kipp in
Yarmouth. The Kipp's were among the original settlers
of Sparta/Yarmouth, and clearly David and Catherine
Pace were there at some point as William is from there
and Hannah married Darwin Kipp there. Darwin and
Hannah came to Imlay City, MI (near Port Huron) in the
early 1860's. They eventually moved to the Grand
Rapids area, and this is where they are buried.

Oops, I got ahead of you there.

I saw your post a little earlier regarding this David
Pace, but I show that David Pace died Dec 20, 1902 in
Kimball Twnshp, MI. Maybe he went to Canada, and came
back to Michigan yet again?

Definitely Gord, you're always helpful! Thanks!
