Pleasant NANCE
section contributed by Robert
B. NANCE (My great uncle) " I believe but cannot prove,
that Pleasant was a brother of Harden NANCE, q. v. The two lived
very close to each other, and Pleasant named one of his sons
Harden. My guess to Pleasant's father would be John, as he named
one son John Allen NANCE, The John for his own father and the
Allen for his wife's father, Allen BARKER. Then Pleasant's son
Elkanah, named a child John Pleasant, which could be for his
grandfather and father."
I may have found a link to some other NANCE's with another
surname of mine....who could quiet possible be Pleasant's grand
parents.. and if Robert Nance's theory about Pleasant's father
being named John.. These Nances (William and Elizabeth THORNTON) have a son named
John but haven't anything on him yet..
I found it by accident I was putting stuff in My "All NANCE"
database from my website and vice versa and I came across a Mary
J. NANCE who married a Samuel GAULDING (I have GAULDING's in my
line) the Surity was Hiram McDANIEL (I have this Hiram McDANIEL
in my line if it is the same). Mary's parents are William Malone
Nance and Elizabeth Thornton.. and further digging I found that
Presly Thornton who is Elizabeth's father mentions a Randolph
McDANIEL in his will. I have a Randolph as being Hiram's father
in my line.
By using Roberts deductions of Pleasant's father I have...
posted the below....
