Recent research and information has been provided by Vella and Rosenbaum families identifying Jacob Horatio Pace and wife Eliza Caroline Green.

Jacob H. Pace was born Dec 10, 1844 in Indiana. As an adult he moved to Union County South Dakota where he married Eliza Caroline Green.

Eliza Green had had a first marriage to James A. LeGro. They two sons, one an infant death, and the other named Robert E. LeGro. Also they had a daughter which was named Jemima, which was the name of Jacob H. Pace's mother, Jemima (Pendroy) Pace, then Mosier.

Eliza Caroline Green was the daughter of Robert Robinson Green and Nancy Jane Ashmore. Eliza was born in Lafayette County, Wisconsin in 1854 and moved to Union County SD around 1863 with her parents and siblings. Other details are unknown.

There is an old book at the museum for the historical society in Union

County South Dakota. It has accounts of some of the old settlers including

Jacob Pace. It states that Jacob Pace was born in 1845 in Delaware County,

Indiana, the son of Horatio and Jemima Pendroy Pace. They were the parents

of James M., Marion, and Jacob H. Jacob was raised on a farm in Jasper,

Iowa. He came to Dakota Territory in 1876, settled where he now lives.

Five acres of his land had previously been "broke" and he started in to

further develop his future home, keeping "bachelor's hall" and working some

of the time at the sawmill.

Thanks to Vella and Rosenbaum families for providing obit., and information.

This piece of information is especially interesting to me. One of the 1st pieces of information was some old research which had down that a "Jacob Pace" was listed with Jacob Andrew Pendroy home, and Marion Pace who was at the old Jacob Pendroy home . I always wondered why his name was 1st and 2nd name. Then I found that Jemima was married to Horatio Pace in Indiana, and had 3 children. That Jacob Pace was Jacob Horatio Pace.

The exact circumstances of why the 3 sons of Jemima's were made guardians of by Jemima's father are unknown. Since Jemima had her 3 Pace sons living with her in the Dan Mosier household, when the boys were all young, it would seem that perhaps the boys went to live or stay temporarily with the relatives when they were old enough to help with of the farm work. That is speculation, as I mentioned, details are not known.

Jemima Jane Pendroy was the daughter of Jacob and Margaret (Boots) Pendroy.

Marion County Iowa marriage records used the name "Jennie Pendroy" for her once, and also "JJ Pendroy". She was born March 21, 1821.

According to marriage records in Delaware County Indiana, Jemima Jane Pendroy had earlier married Horatio Pace in Delaware county Indiana on 12-02-1841.

This (below) is the Marion County, Iowa marriage record.

Daniel Mosier and Jemima Jane Pace 29 Nov. 1849 (Marion Co. IA.)

Jemima Jane (Pendroy) Pace and her children came to Marion County Iowa with parents Jacob and Margaret (Boots) Pendroy when they came in 1849.

The 1850 Marion County Iowa census records of Jacob and Margaret Boots Pendroy household list 8 year old "Marion Pace", born 1842 in Indiana. This "Marion Pace" was one of Horatio and Jemima Jane (Pendroy) Pace's children.

The exact circumstances of why the 8 year old Marion Pace was at the house of grandparents Jacob and Margaret (Boots) Pendroy in 1850 during the county census are not known.

23 Year old year old Jacob Andrew Pendroy and 26 year old Margaret (Brown) Pendroy, and their household had 11 year old Jacob H. Pace there at census time in 1856.

Recently I found an 1858 legal document that appears to have the original signature of Jacob Pendroy and J. M. Pendroy. The document appoints Jacob Pendroy legal Guardian of Jacob H. Pace, James Pace and Marion Pace. (These Pace children were Jacob's grand children, sons of Jemima Jane Pendroy Pace - then Mosier.)

Jemima Jane Pendroy (Pace) later married Mr. Daniel Mosier. Daniel Mosier had children from a previous marriage. Jemima Jane Pendroy and Horatio Pace also had children of their own together from that previous marriage.

Author note: Daniel Mosier is a name that is encountered frequently in early history of the area. In 1846, and 1847 and 1849 the History of Jasper County mentions his selection as a Grand Jury member.

In 1847, the Assessment rolls for the county of Jasper showed Daniel Mosier and is listed with the assessed value of his farm. He was the owner of one of the largest farms in the county. In 1850 Daniel Mosier was selected as a juror for the first Coroner's Inquest on April 12, 1850.

According to the Monroe Mirror article about the first "Old Settlers" Reunion, Dan Mosier was in the area in 1843. That is the year Monroe Iowa was "officially settled".

In addition "Mrs. Joel Worth and Dan Mosier were introduced as the oldest old settler woman and man now living" (In 1897 Dan Mosier would have been 83. The article cited six other people present who were there in 1843: (James A. Tool, John M. Tool, Allan Tice, David Tice, Mrs. Huldah McClintock and John Williams.)
