The Peter/PERRY named above was in Jefferson Co., Ohio by April 16, 1811 when he married
Lavina Reuble... so not likely that they returned to Pa. for your Charles' birthdate
in 1822. Besides, they had 2 children born in that same 1822 period in Ohio.
I do have some Chances in Philadelphia a little later than the 1822 date you are searching
for. This is the family of Albert Chance, b. 1841/d. 1894, both in Philadelphia, son of
Wm. Chance, b. 1809, and Lydia Allen Cannon Chance, b. 1813 in NJ. (Your NJ connection?)
Albert's father, William, had brothers Jonathan, b. July 29, 1799, Daniel
(?/unproven) and George, b. Nov. 16, 1810. I have no children born to Daniel and George,
but Jonathan had a son William, who had a son named Charles...These 4 brothers were the
sons of Daniel and Sarah Gray Chance of Maryland Chances. It's a long shot, but
perhaps it's a place to begin searching.
