Isaiah C. and Mary Chance were my great-grandparents. On his tombstone are the dates of
07/31/1842-01/08/1925. Mary's dates are 11/22/1848-12/26/1922. My grandfather was
Horace Tildon Chance. Isaiah had siblings of Marion, Daniel, Joel and Mary. Daniel was
listed as 7 in the 1860 census. This probably was not your grandfather since he is listed
as a child of Alexander and Elizabeth Chance. Alexander was born in 1810 and must have
died about 1859 or 1869 since Elizabeth is listed in the 1860 census without him but with
a one year old daughter. He and she appeared in the 1850 census as living in Williamsburg,
Covington, County, MS. with just two small children, Isaach and Marion. Good luck in your
search and let me know if I can offer more information. I hope you have found something
on your grandfather. I will look at home to see if I have the name of my father's
uncles. He died in 2008 at the age of 98.. the last of 12 children in his family. His
father was Horac!
e Tildon Chance, son of Isaiah C. and Mary A. Chance.
