Ben Hill Vance married Ida (mnu not confirmed) and had Lucy b. 1892, Augusta b. 1893, Boyd b. 1896, Eliza b. 1898, Morgan b. 1899, Bill b. 1901, Cora/Cara b. 1902, Paul b. 1903, B.H. 1907 and Bob b. 1911. All the children were born in Texas. Ben and Ida were in Johnson County in the 1910 census. Ben is a widower in the 1920 in Oakdale, Washita, Oklahoma census. His son Boyd is Boyd Mirl Vance b. 25 January 1896. He stated on his WWI Draft Registration that he was born in Alvarado, Texas. Boyd married Ruth H Livingston ca. 1918 and had six known children according to the California Birth Index. Two of their children were twins per the CBI and died before the 1930 Census. Their children per the CBI are: Lucile M b. 1918, Donald L. b. 12/1919 d. 2000, Clyde B b. 1921, Betty D. b. 1926 and the twins Paul and Pauline b. 1928. I would love to know more about Ben Hill Vance and his ancestors. Please contact me at my email:juanitagoin@hotmail.com Thanks in advance!
