Hi All,

I have info back 4 generations of the "Pa Trace's"(specifically the franklin co. Pa. Trace's)
This is what I have(abreviated):

John Andrew Trace m. Harriet Grace Moats
They had 12 kids. Harriet passed away and John remarried A Helen(her last name is in
previous post).

John's father was Edward Lincoln Trace m. Clara Peters(I have some info suggesting that
Clara's name may be Anna Clara Peters from Adams Co, Pa.). It's not clear how many
children they had. My second cousin says 5 I saw a pedigree with 3 other names besides
the ones my second cousin has!

Edward's father was John A. Trace m. Charlotte Stoner. The interesting thing here is John's
name was Drace prior to becoming Trace. In a MS word document I recieved of the 1850
and 1860 Census' of franklin county, Pa. John is listed as Drace and in 1870 Census is listed as Trace. and
what's real weird is there are like 6 kids listed and only one of the names my second cousin
has listed and 4 other names.

John A. Trace's father is listed as George and Mom is Elizabeth(Per my second cousins findings). George is listed in 1850 Census(um franklin co, Pa)as Drace. However in the 1860 Census George is listed as Trace. Oh in hindsight with that census data is another son of George's his name is Jacob Drace.

From some searching I found that Drees, Dreese, Dress, and a couple other variations are pronouced Drace. My Question is does anybody have a George Drace from Pa in there Family Tree and might know of his parents!?

Sincerely,
Doug Trace
