It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nicholas:
(The Rest about These Maces) Henry and Nicholas both moved to Hampshire County around the mid 1770s. Hampshire County
was split up in 1786 and Hardy County was formed. Henry and Nicholas would have ended up
in the new Hardy County and later both Hardy and Hampshire Counties became part of West
Virginia in 1863. Present day Hardy County in West Virginia borders Shenandoah County and
the extreme Northeast corner of Rockingham County.
It is felt that after reviewing all the events for Henry and Nicholas and the events for Henry Mace
(next section) of Rockingham County, that we are not descendants of the brothers Henry and
Nicholas Mace of West Virginia
(MACE PDF I HAVE) Maces of Virginia/West Virginia:
There were two Mace brothers named Henry (born 1720) and Nicholas (born 1730) that settled
in Virginia around 1750. They first purchased land in the Augusta County (Linville Creek),
which is now, present day Rockingham County. They had many children and each named one of
their sons Henry. They were involved in many land transactions together (See APPENDIX 1).
In 1774 both Henry and Nicholas were naturalized at Linville Creek, Virginia. With Henry and
Nicholas taking the Oath of Allegiance would mean that they were not citizens and not from
England or belonged to the Church of England. They were more than likely French Huguenots
that emigrated from France to escape religious persecution.
