looking for Vance's from Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina
I have been searching for members of my Vance's family. I hope someone might be able to help me with my search. The Vance family members I'm searching for lived in Mississippi, and Oklahoma, and South Carolina.
My gmother, Dora Vance's father was Robert Pinkney Vance from Lafayette, county Mississippi. Robert's father was John Vance, bn abt 1854, Lafayette, Mississippi.
I am searching for John's father, name unknown, I know he was bn in South Carolina but his wife I believe was from Mississippi. I believe that John married Martha Lee in 1873 and she died early in the marriage. John was a Engineer for a Steam Mill in Union County MS. My mom still lives near the steam mill old site in Union county, MS. I have included facts that I have found on these Vance's. 1880 Lafayette Co. Census shows John Vance, a widower, age 26, bn. MS. Father in SC, Mother in MS; Children: Robert P. VANCE, son, age 6, bn MS Ruth Vance, Dau 2 yrs, bn MS; Ellice (Alice Myrtle) Vance, Dau, 4 mo. bn MS, and a Frank BOWLES, other Black, 18, boarder, bn MS, Common Laborer for Corn.
John married Mary Ann Winter in 19 Aug 1880, they had 2 children Willis Jesse and Mattie. I found John and Mary again in 1900, moved to Berwyn Carter, Oklahoma, during the land rush. 1910 John, Mary, W. Jesse and 1 grand son Water C. Basinger age 18. This is Mattie's son. 1870 Neshoba County, MS Census Vance, John age 15 Farm Laborer, was listed as living in the household of William Tindall 1910 Carter County, Oklahoma Census
