Bonnie and others- I have no information about the Vances, in fact, I've found in my notes that Samuel Humphreys' wife is also listed as Grizelda Donaldson Cavet (born after 1740 - Lancaster,Pa.) Sorry I can't help, but you seem to have gotten some good replies. Does anyone know anything about James Harvey Dixon ,born about 1808 in Rockbridge Co,Va, died after 1880 in Monroe Co, WV. He was married before 1856 to Lucinda Styles (1837 to after 1880) They had 10 children , most of whom stayed in the Monroe Co, area ? Children of James Harvey Dixon and Lucinda Style Mary C.
