Research Notes

Samuel Vance profiles have been conflated and merges are now proposed to correct the profiles and the profiles of their related wive(s), as follows:

This profile was 'conflated' with the other Samuel Vance profiles, who had 'wives' named Alice / Alie Carr. This profile Samuel Vance had wife Alice / Aley / Alie Carr, was born in Virginia and died in North Carolina. This profile had only one Alice wife profile linked to it

The other Samuel Vance was born in Ireland or Scotland and died in Virginia.

• One profile Samuel Vance was initially created with wife Sarah Colville. That profile also had 2 'other' Alice / Alie Carr / Vance profiles linked to it as wives incorrectly. At some time, his wife Sarah was unlinked.
• The other profile Samuel Vance has the wife Sarah Colville linked to it.

Samuel also has a profile on Filae Family Trees & Billion Graves.
