The parents of Ann Vance are not known, that particular line of Vance came from Ireland. Vances came from lots of places to America. We can document the Vance family back to the south of France , from there to England, from there some went to Scotland, some might have gone to Germany.; some of those in Scotland went to Ireland, , one family said they came from Wales. Some of all of the above listed groups came to America plus some Germans by the name of Wentz which was "Americanized" to Vance. Hope this helps someone, Grace Dotson
