Hi Jeff,
Did you get my posting yesterday via the List on my Vances? If so, what
did you think of them? I have heard this about Jim before but then I found
some research material that listed him as son of Abner and Susanna....
Alot of people confuse Jim's daughter---my ancestor--, Elizabeth, with his
sister, Elizabeth.
I am sure that you feel as I do...I could care less if he was illegitimate!!
I just want to verify his parentage!! This is my direct line.
Some people say that Jim is the result of what got Abner hung/hanged...
Maybe we can get this finally put to rest by working together on this
List...
