General:

CHILDREN:

The following deed (Edgefield Co., South Carolina Deed Records, Book 14, pgs 217-223, image 116/900) implies that Richard Pace and his wife had 3 daughters: Elizabeth, married to John Anderson, Mary, married to James Rhodes, and Charlotte, married to Ludbrook Lee. They had, in fact, another daughter Charity, who was married to George Delaughter.

On February 21, 1797 John Anderson and Elizabeth Anderson, his wife, of Edgefield Co. sell to George Delaughter of the same place for £80 a tract of 122 acres on the west side of Stephens Creek in Edgefield Co., part of a tract originally granted to Solomon Newsom. The 122 acres are bounded by land granted to Goode and George Delaughter and by Peter Hitt, Jas Rhodes, and Jn^o Hitt. The witnesses are James Carson Sen^r, James Carson Jun^r, James Brewer, and Robert Carson.

The tract being sold is described as "my part of the land of Richard Pace deceased which I have sold to George Delaughter for sixty five pounds sterling". "And we the c^oheirs James Rhodes and Ludbrook Lee renounce our claim to the within mentioned land". Mary (her ~ mark) Rhodes, wife of James Rhodes, and Charlotte (her ~ mark) Lee relinquish their rights of dower.

The following undated abstract of the distribution of assets of the estate of Joseph Day indicates that he died without issue and that his heirs are his siblings. One of them is Sarah Hitt, dec'd, and her heirs are Martin Hitt, Charlotte Lee, and Charity Delaughter. James Day and Sarah Hitt are both named in the will of their father Peter Day. The abstract is on page 55 of Edgefield County South Carolina Records compiled by Jane Revill (1984). Lamentably, I have been unable to find the original document.

Martin Hitt and Charity Delaughter are mentioned among others. Richard Jones is the administrator of the estate. On November 18, 1833 he and two others are firmly bound in the sum of $3000 to J. Richardson, Ordinary for the District of Edgefield, relative to the performance of Richard Jones as administrator.
