Parents: Amanda’s obituary shows William and Mary (Huggins) Vance. (Death Certificate for Amanda (Vance) Decker listed William as her father and no additional information.)
Newspaper obituary for Amanda (Vance) Decker lists four sisters: Mrs. Abner Heaton of Urbana, Ohio; Miss Mary Vance and Mrs. Jacob Mitche of New Brighton, PA and Mrs. Gertrude McDonie of Huntington, West Virginia.
US 1860 Census shows John Calvin’s parents, Joseph and Elizabeth (Hoover) in Cumberland County, Dickinson Township.
