We have Warren Vance, born around 1833, married Sarah Gough (Goff). We believe he was born in GA. In 1860 Warren and Sarah are listed in the Dale County, AL census with their 10 month old son, William R. The name is listed as "Van" however and not "Vance".Warren served in the Co E, 25th AL CSA. He was wounded but survived to raise a family. One of their later children, Robert Lee Vance (twin to John W.) is our line. By 1910 Sarah is a widow and living in Covington County with son John W. Vance's family. Robert Lee Vance and his family is also listed in Covington County, AL in 1910 and also in 1920. John W. Vance is not in Covington County in 1920. Have not found where he went. We are presuming Sarah died between 1910 and 1920. What is interesting is that in the same area of Dale County, AL in 1860 where other families by the name of "Van", the eldest of which was a John Van (around 70). The older ones were from NC, and ones around Warren's age were born in GA. We have visited the Vance homepage. Very well put together, especially the article on Abner!
