The Mary Knowles-Mary Baker controversy: What was the maiden name of the wife of Richard Pace of Charles City County (often referred to as Richard Pace II)?
Quote from SOME SOUTHERN COLONIAL FAMILIES, volume 2, by David A. Avant, Jr.., Lt. Col. USAFR (Ret.), L'Avant Studios, Box 17111, Tallahassee, FL 32303, 1982, p. 196:
"It has been claimed and widely published that [Mary Pace] was a daughter of a JOHN KNOWLES and that this JOHN KNOWLES "may have been" the Puritan minister brought down from Waterford, Conn., in 1642 to preach to the people of Mansemond Co. This deceptive theory has no evidence to support the allegation except that a great grandson had the name of KNOWLES PACE. In spite of this absurdity we notice that some recent accounts still advance the claim in published form and thus perpetuate the delusion. Another school of thought believes that her maiden name was "BAKER" (of which more later) A letter dated 20 May 1971 from MISS MAUD McLURE KELLY (PACE family scholar) to MRS. ELEANOR (PACE) TERRELL states, 'Do not be led astray by these wild guesses which claim that RICHARD married Mary KNOWLES." (page 197, regarding the BAKER claim): Charles City Co., VA., Court Order Book 1664-1665), p. 530 21 Jan., 1664/5 - DEED OF GIFT FROM RICHARD BAKER TO RICHARD PACE of a parcel of land lying on the other side of the bottom on the west side of the aforesaid BAKER'S plantation containing 140 acres. Witnesses: WILLIAM HARRIS, PATRICK JACKSON, AND CAESAR WALPOLE [RICHARD BAKER signs by his mark "X". Recorded 7 Feb. 1664/5' COMMENT [by Col. Avant]: Neither the reason for the "Deed of Gift" nor the implied relationship of RICHARD BAKER to RICHARD PACE is stated. JESTER and HIDEN (p. 260), in the PACE Family chapter, states that "It is probable that MARY PACE was the daughter of RICHARD BAKER, of Charles City Co. who on 21 Jan. 1664/5 made a Deed of Gift to RICHARD PACE."
