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
