I do have an obit for Joeseph.
I have a death certificate for Pernal Oscar Chance and it lists his parents as John J and
Ellen Chance.
The paper trail for Pernal Oscar Chance starts in 1880 when he was age 13, living in the
household of Barney and Mary Heffington. Jess and Joe were NOT listed as being in this
household.
Obit and death certificate lists parents a John J. and Ellen Chance..
Believe Pernel Oscar Chance is descended form Starling (Barnes)/Purnell Chance from Clay
Co, IN.
have not made the final connection 8-5-2002 (CFM)
the paper trail for PO Chance starts in 1880 when he was approx 13, living with Barney and
Mary Heffington. Nothing is known about
his life until this date. (CFM 2002)
Found Pernel on the 1880 Muddy Bayou, Faulkner Co, AR census records as 13 years old
living in the household of Barney and Mary Heffington, the census listed his father as
being from Indiana.
