My Anna Swagerty Vance was sister to William Jasper. Annie married George Harrison Bell. George's sister Jane Ellen Bell married Martin VanBuren Vance, a brother to William J. and Annie. I hadn't seen a middle initial for John Vance until now. I would love to visit about this family. Thanks, Jann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
