I am researching a CHANCE line in NC - the earliest I have found is
Thomas Chance who was in Rockingham CO. NC by 1790. I think he may be
the father of my ALFRED M. CHANCE who was born in Rockingham in about
1801. I haven't proven the connection yet, and am still trying to link
this line back to the MD line. Alfred's son David Chance was my g
grandfather.
Any info which could lead to documentation proving that Thomas is the
father and help gettting the line back to MD would be appreciated. This
is one of my brick walls. I have quite a bit of info from Alfred on
down and would be happy to share with anyone. Alfred married Hannah
Allen in 1828 and had, in addition to David b. 1830, sons James b. 1829,
Martha b. 1833, Bedford b. 1835, Alfred b. 1836, Nancy b 1840 and Yancy
b. 1842. Martha, Bedford and Alfred died young and never married.
Yancy married but died without children. I haven't been able to track
Nancy for sure. James and his family stayed in NC and show up on census
records thru the 1900 census. David had only daughters and his family
moved to Mo. in 1870.

Interesting situation with the Great Hanging in Gainesville--so many men were involved.
Has anyone found the Chance line from Delaware with a branch to the Carolinas before 1800?
Curious since i've found some early Maryland/Delaware/Pennsylvania surnames that
branched to the Carolinas before 1790.
