Wilburn Lee is not the same one as the one with Carl. JD started his book several years ago and didn't know all the information that has been discovered the last 2 months. James Lee, Jr (uncle Jimmy) had his DNA done and came up with a match to my husband and the other Vances in the same group. Cousin Barbara Vance Cherep and I contacted him and helped him solve the mystery of who his grandparents are. Wilburn Lee Vance is the son of Meek and Laura France Vance and was born in Mingo Co, WV in 1906. He is listed as Wilburn in the 1910 Census and Lee in the 1920 Census. He died in March 1929 in Hamilton, OH before James Lee Vance, Sr was born. Uncle Jimmy lives in TX and he came to Ky and Oh to meet his new found kin the first of December. Cousin Barbara, my husband and I met him, his sister, Lori and JD in Washington CH, Oh. Abner had two brothers that we know of. They are John and Matthew. They were in NC, SC and TN. Their father was Matthew Vance that married Anne Jones in Philly in 1746. We have lots of records. Which child of Abners do you descend from. My husband comes down through Abner, Jr and daughter Mary that married Janes Brown. Barbara Vance Cherep comes down through Abners brother, John. Where do you live. I am in Point Pleasant, WV. Cousin Barbara has written a book "Historical Recordings of Matthew Vance and Descendants". She only had 130 printed but is going to do more when she gets it up dated. She also wrote "The Feuding Truth" about Jim M Vance and Family. Also "Tug River People of Appalachia", this one is abstracts of Pike and Logan Court Records. The last two books are on Amazon. She hasn't sold very many but it didn't cost her anything either. We have been working together for the last 10 years since we found out that her father and my husband were DNA matches. We have been on lots of trips to Court Houses and where the Vances have lived. We think Abner was born in Augusta Co, Va near James River and Natural Bridge. Sorry this is so long. Write and tell me a little about you. I can help with whatever you want. I will enter your information in my tree on your Vance line. Thanks for the reply. Janice (and Tom) Thanks for your email. I have a hard time following messages on ancestry. I wrote this last night on my phone and couldn't send it. I did look at your family tree and some of the names. Barbara wrote Two Sides to Every Story which I believe you have read. You have so much information on you family tree. Don't know how you have done it. It does take years.

Wilburn Lee is not the same one as the one with Carl. JD started his book several years ago and didn't know all the information that has been discovered the last 2 months.

James Lee, Jr (uncle Jimmy) had his DNA done and came up with a match to my husband and the other Vances in the same group. Cousin Barbara Vance Cherep and I contacted him and helped him solve the mystery of who his grandparents are.

Wilburn Lee Vance is the son of Meek and Laura France Vance and was born in Mingo Co, WV in 1906.
He is listed as Wilburn in the 1910 Census and Lee in the 1920 Census.
He died in March 1929 in Hamilton, OH before James Lee Vance, Sr was born.
Uncle Jimmy lives in TX and he came to Ky and Oh to meet his new found kin the first of December. Cousin Barbara, my husband and I met him, his sister, Lori and JD in Washington CH, Oh.

Abner had two brothers that we know of. They are John and Matthew. They were in NC, SC and TN.
Their father was Matthew Vance that married Anne Jones in Philly in 1746. We have lots of records.

Which child of Abners do you descend from. My husband comes down through Abner, Jr and daughter Mary that married Janes Brown. Barbara Vance Cherep comes down through Abners brother, John.

Where do you live. I am in Point Pleasant, WV.

Cousin Barbara has written a book "Historical Recordings of Matthew Vance and Descendants". She only had 130 printed but is going to do more when she gets it up dated.

She also wrote "The Feuding Truth" about Jim M Vance and Family. Also "Tug River People of Appalachia", this one is abstracts of Pike and Logan Court Records. The last two books are on Amazon.
