Thank you for your reply. I descend from a Chance line but not exactly certain how they
fit in to the others back in North Carolina.
My line is: Jesse Roy Chance b. 1884 in MO
Reddin Edgar Chance b. 1851 in IN
Stephen Chance b. 1820 in IN
Redden Chance b. abt 1795 in NC
Seems like I had seen the elder Redden around a Warner Chance or Wiley in NC. I have
heard that it is assumed by a few folks that Samuel was Redden Chance's father.
Another family member who did research some years back had found come across some
documents that tied them all going to IN about the same time and are assuming that the
Samuel who left NC for IN must be his father. Although, in Samuel's will, apparently
there is no mention of Redden. If I recall right, there is only one child's name
mentioned. I don't have that and have never seen it to my knowledge.
I would love to keep in touch with you and maybe together we can figure out new things
about the Chance's if you would like to. Please feel free to email me directly.
