Re: Centralia Massacre/1st MO Engineers
Deborah, I just researched your Edward Milburn Pace and found that yes, he is related to my Pace family line in Buchanan Missouri. My Pace ancestor was James Pace, b 1772, son of John H Pace and Susannah Houchins of Middlesex County, VA. James' son Thomas Pace is my direct ancestor line. James, b 1772, was the youngest brother of William H Pace. Edward was the So, your Edward Milburn Pace and my James W Thomas, both killed in the Centralia Massacre were related by marriage. I wonder if they would have known each other. Edward was in Company G though and James in Company A/B but they may have had time on the train home to discuss the common name.
