Larry, it's my firm conviction that in this case there is no "just in case." I also have spent some effort in trying to figure out who might be the parents of Andrew Pence of Wolfe County. I have been "collecting Pences" for almost 40 years now. For almost 30 I have been entering this Pence data into a home computer. For the last 20 I have been an active on-line genealogy participant. I have data on more than 20,000 Pences in several databases and files, including a master index with nearly 17,000 entries. Included in these files are summaries of most of the census records from 1850 on. And in all of that, not a clue to the parents of Andrew! Thank you so much for the cemetery records! I will be adding what is missing to my data. I would appreciate any Pence descendants on this list taking a look at what I have on the family of Andrew Pence at this page on my web site: www.pipeline.com/~richardpence/gensum4 Andrew is No. E1. I believe this to be the most accurate summary of the children of Andrew that I have seen, but there is always room for corrections and additions! Richard A.
