Hi Donald, I can't answer your question with any certainty, concerning the discrepancy over who the father of Capt. Vance is as I don't have any proof. I have Capt. Roberts parents as Samuel Vance and Sarah Coleville. David Vance the son of Capt. Robert, wife was Pricilla Prank. This information came from Vance Family Assoc. newsletter Vol XIV No 1 January 1998 "Samuel and Margaret Laughlin Vance and Their Descendants" p. 8. I am sure there are many member on the Vance list with more expertise than I have concerning your question. Since you listed the 10 children, which of Capt. Robert's children do you decend from ? I decend from William Vance>Eliza Vance>Anthony Nash>Gershom Nash>Ella Nash. If you have any information on William Vance or Capt. Robert's other children I would be interested. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Don > > According to my records, Capt.
