Notes: This family is a very confusing family to research. On page 76 of the book "The Conley Clan of Eastern Kentucky," published and sold by The Magoffin County Historical Society, it says "GEORGE C. CRACE [son of Nancy Jane Conley and Stephen M. Crace] b. 14 Jul 1858 d. of Typhoid m. 15 Jun 1893 Dora Pace."

The 1880 census shows that Docia and Dora were born about 1875 and 1878 instead of 1865 and 1868. The 1900 census finds George Crace, born in 1872, married to Dora, born in 1878, and they have a son, Paris, who was born in January of 1899. When Paris dies in 1944, his parents are listed as George Crece and Docia Pace on his death certificate. When George W.

George and Dora are both buried in the same cemetery as George's parents.
