Evidently James Vance and his wife Barbara E. Miller who married in about 1820 were divorced sometime between the time of the 1850 WV census and the 1870 census when they both turn up in different states with different spouses. In what state were they divorced? Does anything show up in the Logan or Boone Co. VA court records? Or in Labette or Montgomery Co. Kansas??? How about Jackson Co., OH? Mary Alice Vance Newton, daughter of Thomas J. Vance of Labette Co., KS, said that her grandparents, James Vance and Barbara E. Miller Vance Glassburn are buried in the Carpenter Cemetery near Dennis in Osage Twp, in Labette Co. which must now be called Harmony Grove Cemetery because the James Vance buried there matches the dates that Mary Alice gave and the Barbara Vance buried there has on her tombstone that she is the mother of Thomas Vance. In the 1870 Liberty, Jackson Co., OH Census, Barbara is living with her elderly husband George Glassburn. In 1880 she is a widow in Liberty, living alone with servant. Are there divorce records online for any of the above counties? Carole in Portland, OR
