CHANCE Searching for parents of Daniel CHANCE who first paid personal property tax in Desha Co in 1843. Lived in area that became Drew Co in 1846. 1850 Drew Co census said he was born in LA, age 28, with female Nancy R, age 20, James A, age 1, and Vincent Chance, age 18. We don't know what relation Vincent was to Daniel, if any. Vincent married Mary Jane "Pop" Gammill on 18 Sep 1853. First real property purchase we found for Daniel CHANCE was in 1857, then Drew Co. Where did he come from? Grave marker says he was born 17 Mar 1821, died 11 Jul 1900. Buried at Holly Springs Baptist Church Cemetery, now Lincoln Co. He helped found that church in 1873. Wife in 1850 was Nancy, searching for her last name. Their children were James A, Emily Ozelar who married Taply Thomas BURR on 27 Aug 1867, and William A Chance, born 4 June 1853, who married Julia Ann BURTON on 27 Aug 1875 in Lincoln Co. Nancy ??? Chance died after 1853 and before 1862 when Daniel and his second wife, Mary Ann Chance (thought to be her maiden name) had their first child.. No marriage record found in Desha or Drew Co for his marriage to Nancy about 1848, or his marriage to Mary Ann about 1861. Nancy is said to be buried in an abondoned cemetery on land where the Chance family lived at Little Garnett, now Lincoln Co. We have not been able to find them in the 1860 census.
