Sandy, My grandfather was James Lonnie Chance, twin brother of William Connie. He died
soon after I was born, so I know him only thru stories told me by my dad, Baxter (Lucky)
Chance. I remember mention of uncle Jessie, Eli, who we named our son after, and I thought
maybe Thomas. Tho I don't recall mention of Charity. Lonnie Chance married Nettie
Upton, and raised three children off the land on their farm on Stumptown Road (Lawrence).
The farm was in both Lawrence and Jefferson Davis counties. I also recall an uncle Major
Blackmon, but he may have been on my grandma Nettie's side. I would like to hear what
you have learned about your Jessie, as I'm sure You and I are related. JD
