General Notes: Husband - John S. Vance
After marriage he and his wife lived on the home farm in Smith township, Washington County, PA, until 1858, when they settled on another home, a portion of the original Vance tract, situated two miles southwest of Burgettstown, upon which he erected new and commodious buildings. He followed farming and stock raising, giving considerable attention to the breeds of fine-grade sheep, and like all who have borne the name, was a most successful business man. He was a Whig, later voting the Republican ticket, but was not an active politician, and had no ambition for office. He attended the Presbyterian Church of Cross Creek. He wa a man of large stature, and enjoyed good health.
