General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Vance
Concerning the name Vance, O'Hart, in his "Irish Pedigrees," says, "this name was at one time De Vans; was modernized Vans; and more lately Vance. In Scottish heraldry it is recorded that few of the ancient names of Scotland can trace their origin to a more distinguished foreign source."
Vances are numerous in the southern part of the United States, many of the families having been there settled by immigrants arriving at southern ports of entry, and still others landing further north and joining their kinsmen in the Southland.
The Vance family was founded in America by Andrew Vance, who came from Ireland and settled in New York in the seventeenth century. [WON, 540]
