In "An account, historical and genealogical, from the earliest days till the present time, of the family of Vance in Ireland, Vans in Scotland" much is recounted of the families of Vans/Vance in an oral genealogy from a grandson of John Vance who in turn was the son of Lancelot Vance. Unfortunately he has missed one generation and stated that a daughter of John Vance married Andrew Jackson when infact the daughter had married the father, Dr Joseph Jackson as we know Andrew Jackson had married Elizabeth Hutchinson, but the book does show who the Vances married by surname, both in Ulster Ireland and in America, many genealogy trees use this book without actually knowing what the source is.[1]
The genealogy of the "Jackson family" Authors: Jackson, Hugh Parks, 1836-; Thompson, Hugh Hogue, b. 1819, joint author; Jackson, James R., 1833- joint author. Publisher: Urbana, Ohio : Citizen and Gazette Co 1890.
The Silver BowlWebsite by Sharon Brown and based on "The Jackson Family Genealogy and history By William Ross Cooper and Frances Jackson Baldwin."

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Elizabeth:
Its no coincedence that there's a Tennessee Governor and President in the Jackson line and North Carolina Governors and Congressmen in the Vance line, some Vance's were Congressmen at the same time as a Jackson President. Now lets see what our Johnson's got up to.
Excellent! Great job, Eric! I knew of a connection because as with almost all of these families, I know the modern day cousins but I haven't researched the line yet.x
Vance-695 and Vance-538 appear to represent the same person because: Vance-695 is sourced, please look at the sources, im sure you know about the Jackson connection. Thank you
