I submitted this query Oct 2002 without any response. Thought today I would
submit once more to see if there are any connections.
Stephen Franklin Chance b 15 Aug 1920 in Kentucky
His father may have moved to Illinois.
He must have been married at least once before he married my grandmother
Sarah Jane Donoho in Sullivan Co., Missouri in 1862. He was 29 years older
than Sarah Jane.
Children are:
Amandy "Alice" Chance - b 17 Dec 1863 in Missouri m to M.L. Martin in 1881,
Van Buren, Crawford Co., Arkansas
Martha C. Chance - b abt 1865 in Missouri

Stephen Chance is listed in 1870 census, Bowman Twp - Sullivan Co., MO
Stephen Chance is listed in 1880 soundex Washington Co., Mountain Twp AK
Both of these census is correct for year of birth and both state born in KY
Both of these census list the children.
In my researach I have found a Stephen Franklin Chance m to Mary L. Kellogg
in the 1850 census, Lee Co., District 29, Iowa, stating born in KY with the
same year of birth, listing 3 children, Margaret A. Chance, Elizabeth I.
Chance and Stephen Chance. This info was on the 1850 census index and I ran
a copy of the census.
Does any of this info connect into your records? I have ran into a brick wall
on this Chance family. Also thanks for any help or suggestions.
