TO: UNION COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY: See Original e-mail below dated Oct. 2, 2003 wherein it is stated that you are working on VOLUME II of the Union County History. I had not heard about it before and I am interested in contributing to it, if I may. However, I would like to know for a fact if you are actually working on this volume. If you are working on it, what are the conditions for contributing to it?? Thanks for any information you can give me.

The book I have covers the period from 1832 to 1994 and a great number of people contributed their genealogy data for inclusion in this book. I contributed a short spot because when I was told about it by Dale Elliott he indicated that you were allowed only a limited number of words. However, when it came out I observed that several entries did not use a limit. In fact, several of them used as much as three columns of print. I used about 1 column of print, including a picture of grandpa. I suppose the only way to find out about this is call Dale Elliott, unless you know who else to contact.

Perhaps you could contribute more information and find out how to get on the list to purchase this volume. -----Original Message----- From: PatriccaV@aol.com [mailto:PatriccaV@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 5:45 PM To: GAUNION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GAUNION] Copper Mines I have been following the Lance emails here and I too, am a descendant from this branch. A lot of my info is documented from the actual gravestones and also a wonderful book from the Union County Historical Society on the history of Union County, GA. I have Volume I and they are currently putting together Volume II. This is the info I have: John Henry Lance b. July 24, 1808 m. to Jane Jones, b. Sept 24, 1801. Both were born in Haywood County, NC. John's father was Samuel Riley Lance/Lentz b. 1768 but was married to Rosannah Saultz on April 3, 1786. Amongst many other children, they did have a son named Samuel Riley Lance who was married to Rebecca Hunter. The branches proceed as this: 5. John Henry Lance b. Jul 24 1808 4. Samuel Riley Lance b. 1768 3. Peter Lentz/Lance b. 1732 (in Heidelburg, Germany) 2. Johann Peter (Hans Petrus) Lentz b. 1710/1711 (in Postoroff, Germany) 1. Heinrich Lentz b. Abt. 1655-1686 The Lances/Lentz arrived from Germany to Charleston, SC in 1750. If you are able to get your hands on the Volume I book from Union County, it is well worth the $50.00. Unfortunately I lent my out so I cannot look up the name "Spivey" since I do not see it in my trees. I have looked in the Union County Cemetery Records book (another great book which lists all the graves in Union County through at least 1996). It shows several dozen entries for "Spivia" or Spiva" but there are no Spivey's listed. Could this be an alternate spelling?
