Hardy Pace and his wife Hester both born in TX, information comes from the application for a SS# of their son Hardy born April 3, 1880 in Houston, TX who married Minnie Lee Sears the daughter of Burl Sears and Ella Black. I believe the family was either from NC or ARK. DNA testing has us in group 3a descending from Richard of Jamestown. Hardy (1880) and his 2nd wife Myrtle Girvin are buried in NC.
