The one sister was Martha Ann and she was adopted by Cornelious Johnson and his wife, she later married Ulyses Grant Johnson. Another sister was Orpha Elizabeth and am not sure who adopted her.

(3/30/2000) In my search for JESSEE C. NANCE's
parents, I located the following (excerpt) Deed of Gift.....Union Co., SC, Clerk
of Court Office - Deed, pages 244-245 - Andrew J. Nance To {Daniel McSwain Nance
et al {Deed of gift - State of South Carolina Know all men by these presents
that I Andrew J. Nance of Union District and the State aforesaid for and in the
consideration of the love and good will I bear towards my Seven children to wit
- Daniel McSwain Nance John F. Nance, Amanda Nance Jessee C. Nance Leemuel Nance
James W. Nance and Letty L. (T.?) Nance.... ------ The date on the Deed of Gift
was September 1st 1866. According to the 1850 Union Co., SC census, there was an
Andrew J. Nance in the house adjacent to Jesse and John Nance. However, the age
of Andrew was given as 33 (Jesse was 18, John, 15) but the wife, Ann, was 25. Is
this the father or brother?? The children named on the census were Noah, Daniel,
John and Amanda which coincidence with the above deed. Additionally, Sonia's Web
Site lists a Will for Thomas Nance of Union District with wife, Elizabeth, and
children, Andrew J. and Martha Matilda, dated 25 Aug. 1841. Is there anyone out
there with supporting or differing information about the above??? Thanks! LINDA in TN (FVESTALaol.com)

(1/12/2000) I am seeking the parents of EZEKIAL
NANTZE (Nance). He was born in 1854, (probably in Alabama) and married
Missouri Jane Hurt ( b. 1854-55) in 1877. They had 12 children, one of whom was
my grandfather, Franklin Washington Nantze, (b. 1879). He was
married first to Eliza Fenter (abt. 1900), and then to my grandmother, Ida Sims,
(abt. 1902). They had 8 children, one of whom was my father, Herbert Franklin
Nantze, (b. 1913, in Arkansas). My mother was Florence Elizabeth Smyth, (b.
1914). My parents migrated to California during the Depression, settling in
Sacramento, which is where I was born, in 1945. I believe that Ezekial's parents
were John Nance (Nantze ?), and Frances Pryor, but I have been unable to
document this with certainty. Supposedly they left Mecklinburg County, N.
Carolina in 1840, heading for Arkansas. They were among the members of a group
of travelers in a 20 wagon caravan that made the trek. Other surnames included
on the trip were: Nunn, Sullenburger, Scott, Gatlin, Ferguson, Martin, and
White, as well as Nance (Nantze) and Pryor. Most eventually settled in Saline,
Grant, and Hot Spring counties in Arkansas. Any information that can help me
make the connection to Ezekial's parents will be greatly appreciated. Also, if
anyone can pinpoint where the Nance spelling became Nantze please let me hear
from you. Thanks. J. Norm Nantze, e-mail: NormN4aol.com
(12/23/1999) I'm a new net surfer from Aberdeen, UK and have been visiting
the "Nance" sites - I never realised there were so many Nances over there!
. . .You're probably wondering what a Limey is doing rummaging about in the
American Nance files. Well, my great-grandpa was SPOTTSWOOD
Nance; there's a picture of him in the "Nance Memorial". My
Grandpa was NICHOLAS ELDER Nance, although he called himself
Elder. He came to Britain as a volunteer in the Great War
and met my grandma in Norfolk, took her back to Texas, were my Dad was born in
1920. Dad and grandma came back to England in 1932 and grandpa
wasn't heard from again. I can find no trace of him after the early
census records but he may have been alive in the 1960's in Dallas/Fort
Worth. There were some family myths: Dad thought he may have
had a half brother or sister in the States; and, there was supposed to be
some Cherokee Indian blood in the family from "the other side of the blanket" as
Dad described it. Where do I look for any descendants of grandpa 'Elder'
Nance or his brother Spottswood Nance Jnr.( who may have emigrated to
Australia)? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Dave Nance

(12/21/1999) The census from NC 1860,
Shallotte District, Brunswick County lists as a head of household & farmer,
my ancestor, DANIEL Nance, as 37 years old (b.
1823), his wife, Martha as 36 years old (b.
1824). Children listed in the home are: Joseph W., age 9;
James E., age 7; Isadora, age 5; Marshall H., age 1 (I know his name
to be Marshal Holmes Nance). Marshall's SC death certificate
lists his mother as Patsy Benton. According to my family
"lore", Marshall had a sister named Isadora, later in life she married
Robert Little, and is supposedly buried in the Buck Creek Section of Horry
County, SC. In the 1850 Census they (Martha & Daniel) are shown
living with (presumably) her parents, Arthur & Rebecca Benton, ages 47 &
42 respectively. Problem one: MARTHA and DANIEL's ages are
screwy in the 1850 census...he is listed as a laborer (& his name is spelled
as Nants). He is listed as age 20 & she is
listed as 19. . . In the 1870 census, Martha Nance looks
to have married Jonathan Gore. She is shown as age 32,
& Marshall is living in her household as age 10. I deduct that
Daniel Nance must have been killed in the Civil War. The 1880
census lists Martha Gore (age 47), living in the same house as Marshall
Nance (age 21) and Emma J. (age 19). I own a copy of "The History
and Genealogy of the Nances" by Davidson Nance written in 1930 in Marshville,
NC. Nance's in the Civil War for Brunswick County in this book list
only Daniel Nance. . . Looking for anyything to help me get a fix on the
line of DANIEL Nance of Brunswick County (b. 1823). Clay Nance

(12/21/99) My great-grandmother was MARY ANN NANCE, married Jesse
William GRAY. My info comes from Howard Co, MO 1880 and 1900 census, and Civil War Pension
application papers, which include hand-copies of GRAY Bible pages. Mary Ann was b 1 Sep
1847, Indiana, and died 20 April 1908, MO. She stated for the census that her father was b
IN, mother b OH. Mother's maiden name possibly BADGER. Children listed in 1900 census are:
1. Marietta (Nancy Mary Etty) GRAY b 1865 IA; 2. James Wesley GRAY b 1867 IA; 3. Charles
Edward GRAY b 1874 CA; 4. Pleasant Oren GRAY b 8 Oct 1876 MO; 5. William Arthur GRAY b
1879 MO; 6. Nellie C.(also show as S.) GRAY b 1887 MO. Pension papers show she and Jesse
also had five other children: Elathen David GRAY (1869); Joseph H GRAY (1872 or 74); Jesse
Furmon GRAY (b&d; 1882); Noah Albert GRAY (b&d; 1883); George A GRAY (b1884, d1885.)
My grandfather, Pleasant Oren GRAY, was born near Moberly, in Randolph Co, MO. The Pension
papers show that Mary Ann and Jesse lived near (or with) JOSEPH M. NANCE (age 36 in 1886)
in Routiers, near Folsom, Sacremento Co., CA from 1871 to 1876. Possibly, based on ages,
Joseph may have been her brother. I would greatly appreciate any help finding the names of
Mary Ann's parents, etc. Thanks. Susan

(11/20/1999) I didn't know I had so many Nance cousins in America! I
have been researching our Nances for a while now. My THOMAS
NANCE and his wife JANE RAPSON came out to
Australia from Cornwall in 1854. They came from St Mewan, before that
from St Ewe, then Kenwyn, and finally from a long line of St Ives Nances. They
were descended from John Nance and Elizabeth Stevens who were married in St Ives
in 1667. It is said in the Clearing house notes that there are still
descendantsfrom this union , living in St Ives today, and New Zealand. My big
ask is if you, or anyone else knows anything of these families, as I would very
much like to contact them. There are so few Nances left in Cornwall. My Thomas'
family is descended from Alain's son William Nance. I would be most grateful for
any help given. With kind regards, and all best wishes. Lyn Hotchin (Hotchinbigpond.com)

(8/1/1999) Have been searching for parents of my ggggrandfather. I believe
that they might have been Manoah Sullivan and his wife, SUSANNAH
Nance. They were married abt 1760. Manoah's family was from
Caroline Co., VA. Susannah and he were in the Charlotte Co., census of 1782;
they were in the census of Laurens Co., SC, 1810. Everything I have found states
that they had four children, but I have also seen that genealogists thought they
probably had more children. The four always listed are Frederick who died in SC
in 1801, Littleberry, Manoah Jr. and Susanna Nance Sullivan who married Henry
Strange in Charlotte Co., VA in the 1788. Manoah Jr. married Polly Tucker in VA
in 1797. Litttleberry married Nancy Tucker in Chaarlotte Co., in 1791 and he
died bef 1808. Does anyone know anything about this family. Please advise! Thank

(6/18/1999) Looking for information on RICHARD NANCE
whose wife's name was Mary. He moved from Dinwidie County to Bedford
County. Their children were Thomas, born in 1740 and died in
1779 and Paschal, born in 1769 and died in 1855. MMcphe841aol.com
(6/13/1999) I'm trying to learn more about my gg grandmother, E[LIZA] AMERETT NANCE. She was born in Columbus County, NC, and married Isham Jotham Brown (son of William Wyatt Brown and Winnifred Williamson, also of Columbus County). She had three children: Emma Brown in 1879; Mittie Janet Brown, in 1884; and a son at some point, who died in 1900. They moved to Waycross, GA (Ware County). Family lore holds that Isham owned a "turpentine plantation" and the family lived in the town of Waycross. Isham was killed in a dispute on the plantation in 1890. The family stayed in the area until 1900 when the money ran out, and the son (name unknown) died in a Typhoid epidemic.
I find Eliza living with her BIL as Amerett in the 1900 census of Columbus County, NC, and her date of birth is cited as 1855. Then in 1910, she's living with her daughter's family as Eliza A., and cites her age as 49 (should be 55). She's E.A. Nance Brown on her daughter's wedding certificate, and Amoret Nance Brown in her daughter's obituary.
In the census, I find just one female in the entire state of NC with the
initials E.A. Nance, but she would then be even younger than in the two censuses
above. In 1850, there's an Eliza, 6/12, F, living with Daniel M.
Nance, 36, M, Farmer, 1000, NC and in 1860, there's E. A., 11, F, NC
again with Daniel Nance as head of household. Only problem is
that this would make her born in 1850, not 1855, and she'd have been all of 60
by the 1910 census and not 49. Vanity? Or the wrong person? Is anyone familiar
with this family, or the Nance's in Columbus County, NC? Has anyone come across
Eliza Amerett before? I'd like very much to establish her parents, but the
discrepency in ages and birth dates is worrying me. Cate Williams

Robert LORTON found in Cumberland Co KY 1805 entering land on Mud Camp

NANCE and Mary LORTON who later married (when?/where?) and lived Shelby
Co IL. I believe them to be the parents of my William NANCE who
married Eliza Hooper and had son Joseph NANCE, my
greatgrandfather. Unfortunately NANCE genealogy for Shelby Co IL does not
include my William NANCE; however, my grandmother, Lena NANCE, daughter of
Joseph NANCE and Viola MCDANIEL, who was only six years old when her grandfather
died, stated to me that after her grandfather died, her grandmother remarried to
her grandfather's brother, "Jack" NANCE. Records show that Eliza Hooper married
first William NANCE and second Andrew Jackson NANCE. Andrew Jackson NANCE is
acknowledged son of John Wesley and Mary (LORTON) NANCE. There is more
supporting info In any case, I would like info on James NANCE of
Cumberland Co KY. I think he was a Virginian but have no proof. A search of
early KY shows a John NANCE entering land in Fayette Co in 1785. Do not know if

father. We know DANIEL NANCE was in Kanawha Co VA (now in WV) in
1806. We know he was in Lawrence Co OH in 1818, where they first appeared
on tax list. The mystery is where DANIEL and ELIJAH died and are buried. No one

somewhere and it was not recorded. Someone said maybe they went out west. Pauline Nance Wheeler

and John (b. 1859) Nance, who were born in Talledega, Alabama. By 1850, the
family was in East Texas, in Rusk County, near the Texas-Louisiana border. My
ancestor and their fourth son, William Hensley Nance, was born on March 31, 1852
in Texas (probably in Henderson in Rusk Co.) He died on October 2, 1928 in Bay
City, Matagorda Co., Texas. He had two wives, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, b. Dec. 10,
1859 in Alabama, m. 1880, and died November 28, 1903 in Bay City, Texas; and
Maggie Margaret Irwin, who he married later in life. Richard and Sylvestra had
another two daughters, Alabama Nance, b. 1854, and Frances B. Nance Short
Calhoun, b. Jan. 13, 1856 in Henderson, Rusk Co., Tx. and died Aug. 6, 1916 in
Bay City, Tx. I later find Sylvestra married to William Adams (b. 1825) on the
1870 Census in Van Zandt Co., Texas. With William Adams, Sylvestra has at least
two more children, Jefferson Adams, b. 1860, and Rachel Annie Adams, b. May,
1862. I find no record of what happened to Richard W. Nance or their first three
sons, Benjamin, Samuel, and John. I had an e-mail once from a woman who said she
was related to Alabama Nance. She promised to send me some information, but I
never heard from her again. It is all quite mysterious. Debbie Ashley Nance :-) (DASHLEYNAOL.COM)

Mooresville NC and I recall that there were NANCE relatives at that funeral. Any
information will be sincerely appreciated. Brenda Pflaum (BrendaBPAOL.com )
