>>Are there any descendants of Elijah Vance, b 1803 in VA, out there? Sure >>would love to talk to them about him. DNA's been a boon to genealogy and >>just think how great if all the Vance men would take 37 marker tests .<< How about descendants of James Vance, too? He was the son of Abner and Barbara. There are some living direct-descent Vance men in Labette Co., Kansas. Is anyone here in contact with them or any other direct descendants of James Vance that you know of? With the lack of actual documentation this is the only way to get back into the 1700's with certainty of ancestor. Carole
