My name is Keri Sweeney and I am a decendant of Alexander Chance.
I have limited information but he married Nancy BELL.
They had a daughter named Mary T. Chance DOB: Abt 1805 and DOD: 1899 in Marion County,
Illinois
Mary married Robert Nelson NICHOLS on Nov 28, 1825 in Lebonon
They had a daughter named Invaliena Jane NICHOLS who married John BETHARDS
They had a son named George Washington BETHARDS who married Rosa Illinois BROWN.
They had a son named William Jasper BETHARDS who married Mamie BOATWRIGHT.
They had a son named Bruce Dale BETHARDs who married Hazel Irene JARRETT.
Finally we end up with my Father William David BETHARD who married Constance Joanne
SMITH.
So here I am.
I think that there is a connection.
Please let me know one way or another.
I hope to hear from anyone related.
You may email me privately...
