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.
