I am researching John Vance, Revolutionary War solider who died in 1826 in Pendleton County, WV, and was married in October 1773 to Nancy ?. I have searched for 40 years for her last name (It is not Bradley as some think.) On her pension application she said she was married in either PA or VA she could not remember which. I think that is because it was in that section known as West Augusta and even government officials were confused about which state owned certain territories during that time. Children are possibly: John Jr., Robert, Mary who married Adam Harper, Elizabeth, Solomon, Hiram. Hiram, Reuben, Sylvester, Blake, is my line. Many of these Vances left West Virginia (VA) and went to Missouri and Illinois.
