B2 PETER PENCE, called the son of Johann Nicholas and Maria Margaret Bens, was born or baptized 14 Oct 1765 according to the records of Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania. A descendant of John Wesley Pence, No. B27 below, says that John Wesley was Peter's son, born in Arenzville, Cass County, Illinois, in 1847 and that Peter died there in 1848, but no estate record can be found in Cass County or any surrounding County, nor can any family members be found in the census records in the area (although there is a Francis A. Pence, male, age 10, born Illinois, living in a non-Pence household in Cass County in 1850). Peter supposedly married three times: (1) Catharine Godfrey 19 Oct 1792 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, a write-up on their son Isaac in a Perry County, Ohio, history, says she was born in Ireland, a Heck genealogy adds that she was married before, perhaps to a Godfrey, and that her first husband was killed by Indians (it would appear this story may be more appropriately apply to Catherine's mother because of timing); (2) perhaps he was the "Peter Pence of Fairfield County" who married Catherine Pence, maiden name unknown and the widow of Jacob Pence (Of Champaign County, Ohio, and no known relatinship to Peter) 3 Feb 1825 in Champaign County; (3) a correspondent says Peter Pence married, third, Frances Wilson, another writes that the marriage was on 3 Jan 1836 with no further information, and an item on the Internet says Frances Wilson was the daughter of James Wilson and Mary Emory and that Frances married, first, Obadiah Dillep and, second, Peter Pence; she supposedly died at Arenzville in 1852, but no record can be found. The write-up on Peter's son Isaac says the family went to Ohio in 1806, but Peter is described as being from Shenandoah County in 1807 when he sold land adjoining that of Nicholas Pence to Anthony Hoffman, Sr. On 7 Oct 1815 "Peter Pence and Catherine his wife of Licking County and state of Ohio" sold his undivided sixth part of Nicholas' land to his brother Jacob. Peter is identified as the father and Catherine Godfrey as the mother of the Sarah Pence (below) who married David Hughes (Compendium of American Genealogy), and Peter and Catherine Godfrey Pence are given as the parents of the Isaac who married Catherine Heck in the Heck genealogy; others, except for last child listed, are unidentified Pences in the Fairfield-Licking-Perry Counties area of Ohio, but primarily in Licking County.

An 1885 atlas shows her living just east of Alma on the south side of Stoney Run in Shenandoah Ironworks District. In 1878 Sophia sought a pension based on her husband's service in a Pennsylvania or Maryland unit in the War of 1812. In her deposition, she stated that her husband came "here [Page County] after the war from Pennsylvania." However, those children who survived until the 1880 census gave their father's birthplace as Virginia. Sophia stated in her petition application that Peter died 31 Jan 1854, but he was not with the family in the 1850 census. Sophia's petition was denied because she could not provide any specifics about Peter's service. A biography of his son Abraham (Pense) in a family history says Abraham, who served in the Union Army from Iowa, had five brothers who served in the war (in the Confederate Army) and four died in battle; it appears that this is an accurate statement, except that the four who died were not all killed in battle, as their respective listings will show; The marriage and census records of Page County identifiy the following children for Peter and Sophia (Aleshire) Pence:

C1 PETER PENCE was born about 1795 (in 1840 he was older than 40, but not yet 50), probably in Pennsylvania, died about 1848, probably in Page County, Virginia; married Sophia Aleshire 8 Feb 1823 in Shenandoah County, Virginia (she was born - Oct 1800 in Virginia, died 30 Jan 1885 at Stoney Run in Page County, age 84 years and 3 months [death record; the published record says "Honey Run," but she lived at Stoney Run at the time]; a newspaper death notice says she died 29 Jan 1885 at Alma, Page County, age 84; her age is given as 45, 55, 64, 76 in the 1850-1880 U.S. census records, the daughter of Henry Aleshire [marriage record]). An 1885 atlas shows her living just east of Alma on the south side of Stoney Run in Shenandoah Ironworks District. In 1878 Sophia sought a pension based on her husband's service in a Pennsylvania or Maryland unit in the War of 1812. In her deposition, she stated that her husband came "here [Page County] after the war from Pennsylvania." However, those children who survived until the 1880 census gave their father's birthplace as Virginia. Sophia stated in her petition application that Peter died 31 Jan 1854, but he was not with the family in the 1850 census. Sophia's petition was denied because she could not provide any specifics about Peter's service. A biography of his son Abraham (Pense) in a family history says Abraham, who served in the Union Army from Iowa, had five brothers who served in the war (in the Confederate Army) and four died in battle; it appears that this is an accurate statement, except that the four who died were not all killed in battle, as their respective listings will show; The marriage and census records of Page County identifiy the following children for Peter and Sophia (Aleshire) Pence:

C11 HENRY PENCE was born in 1825 in Virginia; appears to have died in the Civil War, but no record found; married Susan R. Croft 3 May 1852 in Page County, Virginia (she was born - Jan 1832 in Virginia, daughter of Jacob Croft). As Susan A. Pence, she was living alone in Page County in 1900; she may have been the "Mrs. Pence" living across from Sophia near Stoney Run in Marksville District in an 1885 atlas.

During the Civil War, William was among several soldiers in his unit who were charged with desertion and it was decided one of them would be executed as an example, the victim to be determined by lot; William drew the short straw and on 28 Feb 1863 he was shot by a firing squad at Camp Winder at Richmond, Virginia. William enlisted on 4 Apr 1862 as a private, giving his residence as Leakesville, Page County; that same day he was mustered into H Co., 33rd Virginia Infantry (called "the Page Grays"); he was listed as "Deserted" on 20 Apr 1862 at Elk Run, Virginia, only two weeks after his enlistment, and reported as "Returned" on 21 Dec 1862, place not stated. This is the only record of a child found:

In 1880, the household consists of John Nawman, age 64, Catherine, age 47, Charles P, age 21, Mary S., age 14, and Ada Lee Nawman, age 10.

Dovel at Leaksville in 1860; Albert and Mary Ann lived in Shenandoah, Page County, in 1870, where he was a teamster; Mary Ann was apparently dead by 4 Nov 1873, when Albert remarried to Adeline Douglas; the 1880 census shows only children of Albert and Adeline, so Mary Ann apparently had no children.

C1B CHRISTINA PENCE was born in 1842 in Virginia; married Joseph S. Nauman 25 Apr 1867 in Page County, Virginia; in the 1870 census of Page County; Joseph S.
