General Notes: Husband - Samuel Vance


At the age of nineteen (in 1810) he came to the farm in South Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, on which he spent his life. In 1834, during the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Elliott, he was chosen an elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, and served until his death. His pastor, the Rev. J. I. Brownson, D. D., said: "He leaves the record of a consistent life, marked with a spirit of humble piety toward God, and of up-rightness, benevolence and hospitality toward his fellow-men. In the community he had the confi-dence of his neighbors, and in the church his brethren loved and trusted him. His uniform in-fluence was on the side of liberty, right and re-ligion."
