It would be interesting to find out. My ggrandfather is JOHN HENRY VANCE. I have been searching for him in Johnson and Hot Spring county, Arkansas. I don't know where they came from before that. What line are you researching? If I run into anyone whom you are looking for, I'll be sure to pass it along!
