A Samuel Neal Vance was b. in 1807, Clark Co., Ohio. He m. 1st: a Miss Howell; and 2nd: Mary E. Hamilton Willis. I understand that according to the "History of Oregon" by Bancroft, Vol. 1, Immigration of 1843 that Samuel Neal Vance and his family arrived in Oregon. Does anyone know the parents of Samuel Neal Vance? Does anyone have access to this book? I am researching Neal and Vance. I do not know who this person was but the combination of two names that I am researching is of great interest to me. I am very interested in how he could have been given a middle name of Neal. Thanks for any information. Clare
