      "Francis was in the Civil War, but he went to Ohio to join, so that is why he isn't on the Harlan County records. He is on the Ohio records. He was in the 1st Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, Company G. There was a William Pace from Harlan County that was in the Civil War, and he is the one on the Harlan County records, as his information on the 1860 census matches the Harlan County draft registration records."
