I have found the death certificate of his brother George W. Vance, it list the parents as Thomas Vance and Sarah N. Caldwell. This makes since of the spelling since in the 1850 census there is a 91 year old Sarah Caldwell whom I believe to be the mother of Sarah N. (Caldwell) Vance.

I guess I am assuming that he died in Gallia County. In my memory, Thomas, first showed up there in 1818. A William Vance showed up the following year. I always thought that this was his father but, it might just as well have been his brother. Thoughts? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Is it Newell? The reason that I asked was that the Newell family is related to the Zebulon Vance family. Maybe it's his second wife. The Newells are also related to a Harrison line.

William born abt 1786, Susannah born abt 1793 and Thomas born 16 Mar 1791. In the 1860 census Thomas Vance is a neighbor of Christina Vance Colwell, she might be his sister but I can not prove as of yet. Regarding Colwell as a last name it seems to be used interchangeable with the name Caldwell. In the 1850 Census there is a 91 year old Sarah Caldwell in the Thomas Vance household. I believe this is the mother in law of Thomas especially since Thomas'wife has her name sake. Additionally my 2nd great grandfather George W. Vance has listed on his death certificate parents as Thomas Vance and Sarah N. Caldwell Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There is a John and Rachel Vance of Mendham, NJ, who appear in the records of baptisms for the First Presbyterian Church of Mendham, NJ. I believe that church may be known as the Hilltop Church nowadays. John and Rachel are my 5th great grandparents, through their son Joseph and his son Edward Dunn Vance, both of whom were Presbyterian ministers in PA and OH, after moving from NJ. The church records list Lewis Vance and Joanna Vance, baptized in 1807 and 1810, as well as Joseph, baptized 1806, as children of John and Rachel. Does anyone know of published genealogies or other sources of information for Mendham (Morris County) from that time? Mid to late 1700's through mid 1800's would be ideal. Vance was one of the prominent surnames in Mendham during that time, so I would think there must be some records of the family. I'm also interested in the Homan family, as I believe John's wife Rachel was a Homan. Two of their descendants, including my grandmother, had Homan as a middle name, and many were listed as simply "H", which might also have been Homan. I do see that other Homan family also lived in Mendham. Thank you. Gary Allen Richardson The Vance surname 'runs out' in our family with my grandmother, although my uncle's first name is Vance, and my cousin has the middle name Vance.
