"Correction accepted."
Good.
"In fact it was Richard Pace who claimed to be from Lawnes Creek Parish, Surry Co. Va. "when he sold a patent in that parish, 25 Feb. 1713".
Not good.You've mistaken the date.It was 25 Feb 1719/20.
Richard Pace begins to appear in Surry records from 1711, at the time the Tuscarora War began, causing early NC settlers to retreat back to Virginia.A court record of 1713 locates Richard Pace in present day Greensville Co, near Robert Hicks' trading post, on the site of present day Emporia:
Surry CC Records Book VII p. 54.17 March 1713. Robt. Hix, David Crawley, and Richard Pace or any two of them to appraise estate of Robt Humphrys, dec'd.Mary Humphrys, adminx, to present inventory next court.
In July 1718 Richard Pace patented 285 acres in Surry Co on the north side of the Three Creeks adj Capt John Gaddes, George Hamilton, and George Pasmore. (VA Patent Book 10 p.389)Like Richard Pace, George Hamilton and George Pasmore were both from Prince George Co.
In Feb 1719/20 Pace sold this 285 acres to his son-in-law John Bradford, grandson of Richard Taylor who on 13 March 1662 paid Richard Pace (d. Charles City Co 1678) 300 pounds sterling for land on Powells Creek.This was the first in a long line of transfers of this tract of land, as more settlers arrived from Prince Geo Co to claim land in the newly opened land south of the Blackwater.
19 Feb 1722/3: John and Rebecca Pace Bradford sold the 285 acres to Nicholas Hatch, son and heir of John Hatch, merchant, who on 14 July 1714 bought from Francis Mallory, Gent., of Westover Parish, Prince George Co, 150 acres
in same parish, bounded by the mouth of a bottom that
joins the land that Richard Baker gave Richard Pace,
and Warpooles line, Arthur Biggins and the main run,
with all houses etc.
Wit: Richard Pigon, E. Goorich, George Pasmore (see above).John Hatch's will was proved in Westover Oct 1722.
Richard Pace now patented a much larger tract, 1220 acres between the Three Creeks and the Otterdam.(VA Patent Book 12 p. 116) This was his second and last Virginia patent.
4 April 1733. Nicholas Hatch and wife Susanna, still described as "of Prince Geo Co", deeded the 285 acres to John Duke, stepson of Richard Taylor's granddaughter Elizabeth Taylor (m. Henry Duke as his second wife).
From 1733, Richard Pace was "of Bertie Precinct" in his VA deeds, suggesting that by that date he was no longer residing in Virginia.
Now.Your misstatements concerning the will of Mutus Butler.Mutus Butler's will:
Prince George Co. Wills & Deeds 1710-1713
p.227 WILL OF MUTUS BUTLER, "Sick & weak"
To my son Raize Newhouse, a young cow, young ewe, 2 small brass kittles, large puter bason, large flatt dish, old iron pott, and what old puter is in his possession, iron wedges, grubbing hoe and hogs that belonged to my son John Butler at his decease.
To Mr John Low, a 2 yr. old heifer
To Christian Low, puter dishes
To MARY PACE, daughter of JOHN PACE, a ewe lamb
To Sarah Butler, daughter of John Butler, a cubberd and deep puter dishes, a table, form and iron pott
To John Butler, son of John Butler, a large brass kittle and two deep puter dishes.
To James Butler, son of John, a puter dish
To William Mathews, a boy that is with me, one sow
To John Butler, 150 acres that was his before at Warrick and rest of my estate and he be made my executor. 18 March 1710/11

As you can see, all the legatees are clearly identified and no "Edmond" is mentioned anywhere.Apparently you've just invented him.
You say it's not your intent to mess up other people's records, but that's exactly what you do.You repeatedly declare that other people's records say things they don't say, usually without quoting the record or giving a citation.You may not think you're doing it intentionally but if it's not intentional you ought to take more care.There are plenty of reliable books about Southside VA genealogy, most of which can be accessed at your nearest Family History Center.I recommend a visit.
