Woody Thomas writes:

After posting my previous follow-up message, I was looking at the Woodlief genealogy of John Frederick Dorman in the 4th Edition of "Adventurers of Purse and Person."On page 710 he lists Joseph Woodlief, son of Edward Woodlief, Sr.As issue of Joseph he writes, "(possibly) Thomas of Prince George County, devised land by Edward Woodlief [Jr. son of Edward, Sr.], married Elizabeth ____."The Elizabeth mentioned here was the wife of Thomas Woodlief and the mother of his son Edward.Elizabeth was not Edwards wife.In a footnote, Dorman cites the Bristol Parish Register as recording the birth of Joseph and Elizabeth's son Edward on 9. Nov. 1742.1742 is a late date for Edward son of Joseph to fit into your genealogy.He would probably not have produced any offspring before about 1762.

George Pace, undoubtedly the orphan son of the above Richard Pace, was holding 1000 acres in Prince George (cut off from Charles City) in 1704. George married a daughter of Edward WOODLIEF, son of John WOODLIEF and his wife, a daughter of Colonel Robert WYNNE, Speaker of the House of Burgesses. Edward Woodlief in his will probated in P.G. February 1719, mentions his "daughter Pace."
