Son of Levi and Mary B. (McDonald) Vance.
His parents were probably buried in this cemetery also.

John married Nancy A. Hatfield, May 16, 1889 in Logan County, WV.
They were married in the 1920 census but had divorced before 1928.

John and Nancy had six known children.
1. Mary Elizabeth (Vance) Richardson, 1891 - 1967
2. Thomas Harvey Vance, 1895 - 1955
3. Troy Ward Vance, 1900 - 1918
4. Vicy Mable (Vance) Bragg, 1906 - 1934
5. Early Edward Vance, 1909 - 1986
6. Orville Howard Vance, 1913 - 1997

A thought about his wife's name. Many family trees on Ancestry have her name as Nancy Arvella, but other than her 1889 marriage record and her grave marker that have her name as Nancy A., there is no record stating her middle name was Arvella. Her name was recorded as either Nancy, Nancy B., Nancy Bell or N. Bell. It seems more likely the middle initial A stood for Arbella, Arabella or Arabelle and was shortened to just Bell.
