General Notes: Husband - James Vance

---

He passed his boyhood days on his father's farm, receiving instruction in the principles of agriculture, of which he made so practical a use in later life. He received a somewhat limited education in the subscription schools. He married and continued to live in Cross Creek township until 1837, when he came to Independence township, locating about two miles east of the village of that name, and there made his permanent home. Mr. Vance was first an Old-line Whig, and on the formation of the new party united with the Republicans. He and his wife were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church.
