Albert Gallatin Pace was born June 24, 1825 to Susannah Duncan Pace and Twitty T. Pace in Morgan County, Alabama where his father farmed and was also justice of the peace. He moved with his family to Pope County, Arkansas around 1830 where his father again farmed but also served as magistrate, clerk of the circuit court and postmaster in Scotia.
Members of A.G.'s family began moving to Texas after his sister, Narcissa and her husband John G.Jouett, settled in Red River County in 1835 near Bonham. A.G.'s brothers, Urias D., John S., Alfred E. and sister Elizabeth Artemisia Pace McReynolds acquired land and settled between 1837 and 1842 in what became Fannin County. A.G. moved to Fannin County with his parents in 1844. The Pace family was prominent in Fannin County and had several business interests there, including cotton plantations.
A.G. married Mary Lodusky Hardaway on November 14, 1847 in Fannin County. They made their first home in Honey Grove, farmed and raised livestock. Five children were born in Honey Grove: James E., Sally, Eppie, Mary and Mattie.
Around 1860, A.G. and his family moved to Hunt County near Greenville where he was engaged in the cattle business with about 1,000 head. He and J.J. Peters of Greenville also opened the Peters and Pace meat market in Marshall, Texas. The Pace's last child, Alfred Stith Pace, was born in Hunt County in 1862.
In December 1861, standing 5' 8" tall with dark hair and blue eyes and weighing 175 pounds with horse valued at $175 and rigging valued at $40, A.G. enlisted as a second lieutenant in Company D, 22nd Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army, under command of Colonel Robert H. Taylor, his brother-in-law. Company D was mustered into service at Ft. Washita, Indian Territory on December 15, 1861, and the 22nd Texas Cavalry was part of the Trans-Mississippi Department. By election, in January 1862, AG was promoted to captain. During the summer of 1862, Company D was part of the troop contingent that built Ft. McCulloch, Indian Territory under the direction of General Albert B. Pike. During A.G.'s service to the CSA, Company D fought its first battle at Newtonia, Missouri in September 1862.

In 1864-1865, AG served as a private in Company K,
Bourland's Border Regiment, Texas Cavalry, in order to "drive beeves" that supplied food for the army.
After discharge from the army, he returned to Greenville and continued in the business of cattle raising with a herd of about 1,500 head. His wife Mary died in 1865 leaving him with six children ranging in age from three to seventeen. In 1868, he sold his herd and moved to Missouri. He soon returned to Greenville and purchased property he called Iris Farm. On October 7, 1869, A.G. married Nancy A.M. Gober in Greenville.
