CHANCE data from Orange Co.,NC to
east central Indiana
I have been working on the CHANCE line for many years now and am hoping that someone out
there has some new info. This is what I have:
John CHANCE (CHANCEY), was born about 1730 in Orange Co.(?), NC. Wife is unknown but he
had 3 children, Ezekiel, Ruth and Mary.
John CHANCE died about 1764 and his children were "bound over" untill they were
of age. John, born 1750, bound to John ROSS. Ruth, born 1752, bound to John PATTEN.
Mary, born 1758, bound to James BAULDIN.
Don't know what happened to the girls but Ezekiel CHANCE married in NC to (?), and
had some of his 11 children there. Ezekiel came to Lincoln Co.,KY about 1800 and some of
his children were born there. One of his sons, my GGGG grandfathere, James CHANCE, was
born Jan.17, 1800 in Orange Co.,NC. Jame married Agnes NOAKS on Aug.5,1803 in Lincoln
Co.,KY.
Around 1820, James CHANCE, and other family members, moved to Franklin Co.,IN. James
and Agnes are buried in the CHANCE/BOWEN cemetery, near Laurel, IN, in Franklin Co.
I have a lot of CHANCE info after they left NC, but little while they were there. Let
me know if you can help. Thank you. Tim Mattingly
