Greetings:
I was working on the Chance family this morning. I have had this message on
the rootsweb list for a year or so and you are the first one to enter, not
knowing of my search also, but I am very please to meet you.
Stephen Franklin Chance is also my 5th great grandfather.
I have census records of him and his family from 1870 & 1880 list him as
being born in 1820, which is the record I have.
He married my grandmother. Sarah Jane Donoho 14 Aug 1849 born in Sullivan
County Missouri. She was 13 years old when they married. I know he must
have been married before her and the only info I have found that comes close
to him was a marriage of 28 Sept 1844 to Mary L. Kellogg in Lee Co., Iowa. I
have not proved this info, just a lead I found.
I show Marion Columbus born 12 June 1880 born in Crawford Co. Arkansas
married to Mary Anne Foley. Does this connect to your Marion Jasper? Calvin
R. "Callie" your ggrandpa is in this groupsheet.
Let me know. I do have much info on the Donoho's as well as Stephen Franklin
Chance.
