ISAAC MACE

   William H. Bishop's "History of Roane County, WV" states that the first known Mace came to Maryland from England just prior to the American Revolution, that he was loyal to King George and "...was soon killed by the zealots of the Revolution."     Apparently there was more than one Mace line in VA at the time of the Revolution and Bishop was writing about a different line.

1.ISAAC MACE
     Isaac Mace was born in Augusta County VA July 16, 1755 and enlisted in the Continental Army as a substitute for Abram Brake in 1781 and served under Captains Hopkins and Cunningham.  He was granted a pension in 1833.  Deweese mentioned Isaac Mace and he mentions only two children.  The 100 year old Mary Mace listed in the Patrick Connolly household in the 1850 Gilmer County,VA census is probably Isaac Mace's widow.

2.HENRY MACE
     According to Bishop's History, Henry Mace, a son of Isaac Mace, moved to the Monongahela valley and lived for a few years. He married Mary Davis in that area and moved to Bulltown, Braxton County VA (WV) in the early 1800's.  He then moved to the area of present day Sutton, WV. We know that Henry was a veteran of the War of 1812.  Henry is next found on the West Fork of the little Kanawha River about 1825, near present day Arnoldsburg,  Calhoun County, WV.  His second wife was Sarah Coger, a daughter of Peter and Mary (McElwain) Coger.
