I have a gggrandmother named Laura Pamer born 1858 in Anderson SC. On her death cerificate it says her madien name was Laura Vance, and her father's name was Wm Vance. So I look up both names and came up with a household in Kentucky in the 1860 census. In this census there is a Joseph Vance 58, Polly Vance 58, William Vance 34, and a Laura Vance who is 2. This could be my Laura and William Vance but I don't know if they are black or Native American like Im told or if they are white. I also don't know why if the Laura Vances are the same why mine said she was born in Belton SC. She did however die in Bucombe County NC abt 80 miles away from the Cherokee reservation which there is another family story that seems to sort of match.
