William M Vance...Is his date of birth November 1839? I am researching our Vance line and have run into a brick wall with our William M Vance. William reported his place of birth as Missouri. He first appears in the 1850 census with is father John Vance and his mother, Louisa (Williamson) Vance, brothe Joseph M, sisters Rebecca Jane, Frances and Mary Elizabeth. I have located four siblings to date with him and tracked them via census, birth, marriage and death records from Missouri through Idaho, Oklahoma and California. If this is your William M Vance ... I would love to share information with you on this family. Looking forward to hearing from you! Juanita Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
