Dear Neil,
I have John Chance, b. Dec. 27, 1781, probably in Dobbs Co., NC (documented in the Family
Bible of Levi Doughty, and also, by documentation on his father, Vincent, who moved to
Dobbs Co., NC in 1780. By 1804, Vincent was in E. Feliciana Parish, La...taking some grown
children & families with him and leaving other family members all the way from Ga. and
Ms. to NC... I have no records for any of them in SC, however.
The family bible of Levi Doughty also places the marriage of John and Zilpha Doughty as
March 16, 1808 in E. Feliciana Parish, La., which also gives his death date as Aug. 13,
1874. Hilda Chance book, pg. 106 says death date "1874"; family bible says
1878, which is the date I will use... the bible writer also comments that Zilpah died at
the home of L.D. Chance at 10:30 a.m. on July 9, 1878.
Would be grateful for data on John's 1812 War records and to look into the SC records
that you have found.... you can mail me direct, if you like, at echance(a)ktc.com.
