Nance (b abt 1810 in VA) and Margaret Cammarrar (b abt 1815 in PA or OH) who were married in Edgar Co. IL on Oct. 30 or 31, 1834. There are many variations of the spelling of the name Cammarrar found in the marriage records of Edgar Co (see subject line). Several marriages were performed in Edgar Co. by a J. Camerer, J.P. The Edward H. Nance family is found on the US Censuses in 1840 in Clinton Co. IL; 1850 in Edgar Co. IL; and 1860 in Lavaca Co. TX. Edward Nance registered to vote in Dallas Co. in 1867. He does not appear on the 1870 Census. Margaret, however, is back in Lavaca Co. TX in 1870 and McLennan Co. TX in 1880. She appears as late as 1891 in the Waco City Directory (McLennan Co. TX) Any assistance regarding the families--especially the names of parents or siblings--of Edward H. Nance or Margaret Cammarrar would be most appreciated.
