Hello list, First let me say I am sorry to my cousin Grace Dotson. I feel I was cynical, and rude in my last post, and for that I apologize. I have been told many times that I am hardheaded and stubborn, and that it came from the Vance side of the family! Do you agree Grace? Anyway I have some information from Orange Co. Va. Not much but a little. I found at the Orange co. courthouse a Vincent VOSS Jr. that was granted a deed on 24-Jan-1790. Book 19, page 482. Other people in Orange Co. Va. Rice Vass, deed-27-Mar-1781, Book 18, Page 159. Walker Vass, deed-28-Mar-1831, Book 33, Page 326. Fannie J. Vass, b. Sep-1869, d/o Henry & Mary Vass. Edward Vass, deed-25-Nov-1779, Book 17, Page 266.
