Notes

Note N323From "The Nance memorial" by George Washington Nance p 24.

Dorothy Nance, the first born of Clement and Mary Jones Nance, was born in Virginia, March 22, 1776. She was married to Joseph Burton in Virginia, and some of their children were born there. They appear to have come to Indiana with her father’s family, arriving March 5, 1805. About 1818 they moved to Vigo County, and a few years later to Parke County, same state, and settled near Rockville, where they continued to reside during life. The husband died December 19, 1836. Mother Burton continued to reside with her sons, Clement and Joseph, until she fell asleep in Jesus, February 11, 1850. She became a Christian rather late in life, joining the Christian Church. She was ever after very devoted to her church. She was a great reader of her Bible, and good conversationalist, a good woman, kind and tenderhearted, always doing good. A niece writes of her: "She had a sweet, soft voice; was a good and kind old grandmother to us all." When sixty, she rode horse-back from Indiana to Woodford County, Illinois, to visit her sister, Elizabeth. 1

She was the mother of fourteen children, two dying in infancy. The others are named as follows as branches: 1

Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2000.; Repository: #R1 NOTESource Medium: Internet Source Quality: Very good A unique database containing 5 million genealogical records (20 million names) that were saved from destruction after being rejected from scientific studies. The Family Data Collection records were created while gathering genealogical data for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compiling data for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. The records collected that did not fit a specific study became the project's "by-products" and were schedule to be discarded. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool and despite the absence of cited documentation, the electronic rights to the data were purchased, rather than see it destroyed. Thousands of families are known to be present in the database, containing 20 million names in 5 million records. This data covers the entire U.S. for a wide expanse of years. At a minimum, each record contains an individual's name, date and place of birth, and the name of his or her father. A complete record will contain the following information for an individual: Name, Date and Place of Birth, Date and Place Married, Date and Place of Death, Name of Spouse, Name of Father, Name of Mother, Use this database as a finding tool, just as you would any other secondary source. When you find the name of an ancestor listed, confirm the facts in original sources, such as birth, marriage, and death records, church records, census enumerations, and probate records for the place where

He was born in Floyd County, Indiana, September 28, 1842, and died just a few years after the book was published in 1904. He seems to have mainly used correspondence with the various Nance 'clans' to compile his book. There is some documentation included, but, as he himself says in the book, "Some of the information received from more than one source conflicted," so he used his best judgement in presenting it. He was mainly interested in his Nance line beginning with Clement Nance (1756 - 1828) in Virginia, but he did include some unconnected branches in his work.
