    • Pace Society of America Bulletin #10 dated December 1969 states that Mary Pace was the daughter of Joseph Pace and Ann (Basford) Pace, was born in 1739, and married John Wright on January 14, 1755. The article further states that Joseph Pace moved to Goochland County in 1739, indicating that Mary (Pace) Wright was probably born in either Middlesex County or Goochland County.

      On March 15, 1768, at Goochland County, Virginia, D.B. 9/132 Ann Pace, widow, appointed John Wright, Jr., the husband of her daughter Mary, as her attorney in fact to act for her in connection with a suit in the General Court against Richard Stark to recover certain slaves.

      On March 15, 1768, at Goochland County, Virginia, Ct.O.B. 11/161 Anne Pace acknowledged the power of attorney from her to John Wright, Jr.
