I have a Thomas P. Chance who was listed in Cochocton Co, Ohio census of 1850 (age 12) to
then later enlisted into the Civil War August 17, 1862. In the 1880 census he was in
Zearing, Iowa (Story County). His brother was Jonathan (b. 1842) and also in the Civil
War and also lived in Zearing in 1880. Their father was John Chance (b. 1815 PA). Thomas
P. and Jonathan were cousins to Zachariah Chance (son of Curtis Chance - b. 1795 Bedford
Co. PA) as well as cousins to my great grandfather Hugh Chance (b. 1825 Jefferson Co.
Ohio)
Thomas P. was married to Mary had a son Thomas B. Chance. Thomas P. died in 1909 in
Zearing, Story Co. Iowa. Thomas P. Chance and Mary were married 1865 and had 12
children - Thomas B was 2nd to the youngest so could well have been born in the time frame
you outlined.
