Richard Allen Pence's "A Guide to the Pence Families of America (Volume I)" does a good job of analyzing the various Pence connections, not being able to come to any firm conclusions about where they came from and which Pences were related. This genealogy sorts through the various early Pences; the first section is about Jacob and his brother Valentine who landed in Augusta County, Virginia.
