Chapter VII, Page 17. Original data by John E. Lance that was reprinted in this source. "[John E. Lance] seems to list the second child of J4 - Henry Lance as J42 - James Lance...".
  5. 1850 U.S. census, population schedule, Warren County, Tennessee; National Archives. Microfilm 898, Book 1, p. 81a (13th District, November 21, 1850). The family of James and Margaret Lance is listed in the census.
  6. John Paul Lentz, compiler, Erratum and Corrections to Lentz Heritage, distributed with 1990 Lentz Heritage reprint; copy held 2003 by Donald (Don) Lynn Lance (2563 Thompson Road; Murfreesboro, TN 37128). p. 17. James Jasper Lance is identified as "J42", the son of J4-Henry Lentz/Lance and grandson of J-John Lentz Sr. At this point John Paul Lentz and other researchers have concluded that most evidence favors this ancestry for James Jasper Lance.
  7. Letter from John Paul Lentz (2010 Trail 5; Burlington, NC 27215) to Robert A. Lentz, March 20, 1989; held by Donald Lynn Lance (2563 Thompson Road; Murfreesboro TN 37128). John Paul Lentz and Robert A. Lentz are now deceased. A copy of this letter was given to Donald by Robert. Page 1. "All seem to agree that James Jasper Lance was born in 1791, some have guessed it in Buncombe County, NC, but the families were in Pendleton County, SC at this time where they show on the 1790 census there. I have been told that the South Carolina census of 1790 was two (2) years delayed and accounts for them showing males over age 18 and those under age 18...".
  8. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee (0.7 mile south of Highway 70S and 0.5 mile east of Warren/Cannon county line); tombstone data transcribed by Donald (Don) Lynn Lance. James' tombstone reports his birthdate as October 25, 1791. The tombstone that exists at this cemetery now for James Jasper Lance and his two wives (Mary Prater and Peggy Youngblood) was erected by Charles Martin Lance, Sr., a descendent. The old tombstone was removed. The birth/death information on the original tombstone was transcribed to the new tombstone. This actual birthdate for James Jasper Lance is the only known birthdate for him.
  9. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes indicate James Jasper Lance was from North Carolina. (However, it may not mean he was born there.).
  10. Population Schedule of the United States Census of 1850 (Seventh Census) for Warren County, Tennessee., Page 137, Household 1074. The census lists James as age 59, putting his year of birth as circa 1791. His birth location is shown as North Carolina. This should probably be interpreted as "James was from North Carolina", not born there, as evidence seems to show.
  11. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 58. James' age is listed as 78, giving a birth year of circa 1792. Birthplace is listed as North Carolina.
  12. Robert A. C. Hillis Jr., compiler, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census (No place:no publisher, 1988). For the home of Joseph Lance the census reports that his father (James Jasper Lance) was born in North Carolina. His children Rachel Lance Youngblood, James Jasper Lance, Jr., Texana Lance, Roxana Lance, Amanda Lance and Clayton Lance also report that their father James was born in North Carolina.
  13. 1850 U.S. census, population schedule, Warren County, Tennessee. Microfilm 898, Book 1, p. 81a (13th District, November 21, 1850). James is 59, giving a birth year of circa 1791. Birthplace is North Carolina.
  14. Population Schedule of the United States Census of 1850 (Seventh Census) for Warren County, Tennessee., Page 137, Household 1074. The household of James Jasper Lance, Sr., shows his occupation as "Farmer".
  15. 1850 U.S. census, population schedule, Warren County, Tennessee. Microfilm 898, Book 1, p. 81a (13th District, November 21, 1850). James' occupation is "farmer.".
  16. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee. His grave, along with those of his two wives, are on the side of the cemetery across from the Ivy Bluff church.
  17. Letter, John Paul Lentz to Robert A. Lentz, March 20, 1989. The letter gives a death date of February, 1879, and infers that he died while living in Warren County, Tennessee.
  18. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee. James' death date on his tombstone is February 16, 1879.
  19. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes report the year of James Jasper's death as 1879.
  20. Letter, John Paul Lentz to Robert A. Lentz, March 20, 1989, Page 94. This approximate marriage date comes from the birth date of their first child. Since new couples didn't waste much time in those days, it is inferred that the marriage took place within a year of the birth of the first child. No marriage record has ever been found for James and Mary, it is not know for sure exactly where they were married -- North Carolina, Tennessee, or somewhere enroute.
  21. John W. Prather Jr., compiler, Prater, Prather, Prator, Praytor in America, 1620-1800, Volume II (Hendersonville, North Carolina: John W. Prather, Jr., 1994), pp. 145-147. Mary Prater is listed in the family of Bazel Prather as "Mary Prather." In Bazel's first will dated December 11, 1829, he mentions a daughter named "Mary Lince". Later, in Bazel's second will dated July 14, 1832, he again listed a daughter named "Mary Linch." Since we know that James Jasper Lance, Sr. married a Mary Prater around 1810, this would seem to lend support that this Mary is indeed the same one.
  22. Letter, John Paul Lentz to Robert A. Lentz, March 20, 1989, Page 93. This refers to the wife of James Jasper Lance, Sr. as "Mary Prater." This is one of many references to the wives of James Jasper Lance of Warren County, Tennessee.
  23. Lentz, Lentz Heritage., Chapter VI, Page 39. The birth date of Mary listed here is March 10, 1794. Other references, such as through GENDEX on the Internet, list her birth year as one year later -- in 1795. The source of the 1795 information appears to a book entitled "The Prater/Prather Family of America" or something similar. It appears that this 1795 date is incorrect.
  24. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes give Mary's year of birth as 1795.
  25. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee. Her date of birth on her tombstone is March 10, 1794.
  26. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. Rachel Lance Youngblood and Clayton Lance report in the census that their mother (Mary Prater) was born in North Carolina.
  27. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee.
  28. Ibid., The date of death on Mary Prater's tombstone is March 19, 1831. However, her father's second will (Bazel Prather), dated July 14, 1832, lists a daughter named "Mary Linch" -- so Mary was apparently still living at this time. It appears that the death date on the tombstone may be incorrect. Or was Bazel aware that she was now dead? Or was Bazel's will written before her death? Since James Jasper Lance and Peggy Youngblood had their first child born in 1833 (Carolina), then Mary had apparently died by that time.
  29. Ibid., The marriage date of James Jasper Lance and Peggy Youngblood can be inferred from two sources. First, the death of Mary Prater is established to be in March of 1831 from her tombstone at Ivy Bluff. Second, the 1850 Warren County Tennesse census indicates a child named Caroline who would have been born circa 1834. This puts the marriage date between 1831 and 1834.
  30. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census, District 11, Household 294. Margaret appears as the head of the household. James died before this date.
  31. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 58. "Margaret," age 52, appears in the household of James Lance.
  32. Population Schedule of the United States Census of 1850 (Seventh Census) for Warren County, Tennessee., Page 137, Household 1074. "Margaret," age 38, is listed in the household of James Lance.
  33. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes are one of many references giving the second wife of James Jasper Lance as Margaret (Peggy) Youngblood.
  34. Bob Prater, various email correspondence from (Tulsa, Oklahoma) to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, 2001-2004. Bob and Don have collaborated on much of their personal research into the early Lances, Praters and Youngbloods of Warren County Tennessee. Bob reports that "Margaret Youngblood", wife of James Jasper Lance, was the daughter of Jonathan and Nancy Youngblood.
  35. Janice Price, "Elizabeth Lance," e-mail message from (Warren, Michigan) to Donald (Don) Lance Lance, March-April 1997. Janice and Don exchanged information from personal family research. Janice cites the 1860 Warren County TN census, which listed Margaret as born in Tennessee and is 48 years old. This puts her year of birth as circa 1812.
  36. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes give a birth year as 1812 for Peggy Youngblood, and indicate she was born in Tennessee.
  37. Population Schedule of the United States Census of 1850 (Seventh Census) for Warren County, Tennessee., Page 137, Household 1074. The census lists Margaret's age as 38, which give an approximate year of birth as 1812. Birthplace is listed as Tennessee.
  38. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee. The date on her tombstone is March 20, 1812.
  39. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 58. Margaret is listed as age 52, giving her a birth year of circa 1818. Birthplace is listed as Tennessee. Possibly a census or transcription error in her age, since other sources indicate she should be 58 by this time. All other sources indicate circa 1811-1812, so the "52" may actually be a "59" in the census.
  40. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. For the home of Joseph Lance the census reports that his mother (Margaret Peggy Youngblood) was born in Tennessee. James Jasper Lance, Jr., also reports his mother was born in Tennessee.

  43. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 58. Margaret's occupation is "Keep House.".
  44. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes give the year of Peggy's death as 1900. The death location is inferred to be Tennessee, since she is buried in Warren County, Tennessee.
  45. Tombstone, Ivy Bluff Cemetery, Warren County, Tennessee. The date on her tombstone is January 18, 1888.
  46. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census, District 11, Household 294. "Texana" is listed as Margaret's daughter in the census.

  51. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes give a birth year of Texanna as 1849.
  52. Population Schedule of the United States Census of 1850 (Seventh Census) for Warren County, Tennessee., Page 137, Household 1074. The census lists Texanna as "Elan T.", and gives her age as 2. This gives a birth of birth as circa 1848. Her birthplace is listed as Tennessee.
  53. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 58. The census lists "Elan T." as age 22, birthplace Tennessee. This gives a birth year of circa 1848.

Verna Thomas Jernigan and Sarah Marsh Shapard, compilers, Tombstone Inscriptions of Coffee County Tennessee (no place: no publisher, 1970). p. 376 This book reports an "Amanda Ward Lance" is buried at Maplewood Cemetery in Coffee County, Tennessee. Not sure, but this may be the Amanda daughter of James Jasper Lance. Observations: 1) Her birt h date matches census estimates for James' daughter, and 2) she has the surname of Lance and is buried alone (apparently never married). This indirect evidence seems to support that this Amanda is Ja mes Jasper's daughter.
  61. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. District 11, Household 294 "Amanda" is listed as Margaret's daughter in the census.
  62. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee. Page 197, Household 58 The census lists a "Amanda," age 17, in the household of James Lance.
  63. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes show a child of James Jasper Lance and Peggy Youngblood named "Amanda" who never married.

  79. 1860 Federal Census of Coffee County, Tennessee.. Page 153, Household 1381 A Henry Brewer shows in this census, age 53, with a wife named Matilda. From Matilda's age, this is likely the same Henry said to have married Matilda Lance in Elic Warren Lance's records.
  80. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes give the husband of Matilda Lance as Henry Brewer. No other information about him is given.
  81. 1860 Federal Census of Coffee County, Tennessee.. Page 153, Household 1381 Henry is age 53, giving a birth year of circa 1807. Birthplace is Tennessee.

  94. Deane Porch, compiler, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census (Franklin, Tennessee: Clyde Lynch, 1974). Page 85, Household 82 "Malinda" is listed in the household of Henderson Campbell. Two children in the household are "Mary K." and "Matilda P.", which appear to confirm Elic's records.
  95. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes have a "Linda Lance" as a child of James Jasper Lance and Mary Prater. No other information about her is given.
  96. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 Malinda's age is 37, giving a birth year of circa 1813. Birthplace is Tennessee.
  97. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman lists Malinda (Linda) Lance's birthdate as September 22, 1812.
  98. Ibid., Sherman reports that Malinda (Linda) Lance is buried at Campbell family cemetery in Cannon County, Tennessee. However, in another location in the same book, he reports that she is buried at Ivy Bluff Cemetery in Warren County, Tennessee.
  99. Ibid., Shermans lists Malinda's death date as July 21, 1858.

  103. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman notes the husband of Linda Lance as "Eldridge Henderson Campbell.".
  104. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 Henderson Campbell' household is listed in the census, with wife Malinda.
  105. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes indicate that Linda Lance's husband was "Henderson Campbell".
  106. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee. Page 202, Household 106 "Elori Campbell" appears in the census, and this appears to be the same as "Eldridge Henderson" Campbell. The census indicates he was age 55 in 1870. This implies a birth year of circa 1815. Liste d birthplace is Tennessee.
  107. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 Henderson Campbell's age is 35, giving a birth year of circa 1815. Birthplace is Tennessee. This matches the age of the 1870 "Elori" Campbell. In addition, two of Henderson's children in 1850 are " Mary K." and "Matilda P.". Their ages match the "Mary C." and "Matilda" in Elori's household in 1870. This is very good proof that they are the same person.
  108. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman lists the husband of Malinda Lance as "Eldridge Henderson Campbell", born July 4, 1815.
  109. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. District 11, Household 287 E.H.'s age is 65, giving a birth year of circa 1815. Birthplace is Tennessee.

  111. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee. Page 202, Household 106 If "Eldridge Henderson" and "Elori" are the same person, then Elori' occupation in 1870 was "Farmer.".
  112. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. District 11, Household 287 E.H.'s listed occupation is "Farmer.".

  121. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 "Henry J." is listed in the household of Henderson Campbell.
  122. Ibid., Page 85, Household 82 Henry's age is 13, giving a birth year of circa 1837. Birthplace is "Tenn.11" -- probably the 11th district of Tennessee.
  123. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports that Henry Jackson Campbell was born on July 25, 1837.
  124. Ibid., Sherman reports that Henry Jackson Campbell died on November 3, 1864.
  125. Ibid., Sherman reports that Henderson Campbell and Malinda Lance had a child named "Hannah Elizah Campbell.".
  126. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 "Hannah E." is listed in the household of Henderson Campbell.
  127. Ibid., Page 85, Household 82 Hannah's age is 10, giving a birth year of circa 1840. Birthplace is listed as "Mo.11", and is the only child with this birthplace listing. Does this indicate she was born in Missouri?.
  128. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports that Hannah Elizah was born on November 20, 1839.
  129. Ibid., Sherman reports that Hannah Elizah died on September 29, 1855.
  130. Ibid., Sherman reports that Henderson Campbell and Malinda Lance had an infant son (name unknown) born on September 24, 1845.
  131. Ibid., Sherman reports that the infant son born to Henderson and Malinda Lance in September of 1845 died on October 10, 1845.
  132. Robert A. C. Hillis Jr., compiler, 1910 Warren County Tennessee Census (No place: no publisher, 1988). p. 273, District 11, Household 99 "Mary C." is listed as the wife of Hatton Muncey.
  133. Cunningham, Warren County Tennessee Cemetery Book. p. 175 This book reports the marriage of "Elie Hamilton Muncy" and "Mary Catherine Campbell." It also reports that Mary is the daughter of "Eldridge Henderson and Hannah (Close) Campbell." However, this ma rriage is incorrect: Eldridge and Malinda Lance were married at the time of Mary's birth, not Eldridge and Hannah.
  134. Hillis, 1880 Warren County Tennessee Census. District 11, Household 289 "Mary C." is listed as the wife of Eli H. Munsey.
  135. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports a child of Henderson Campbell and Malinda Lance named "Mary Catherine (Kate) Campbell.".
  136. Porch, 1850 Cannon County Tennessee Census. Page 85, Household 82 "Mary K." is listed in the household of Henderson Campbell.
  137. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee. Page 202, Household 106 The census lists a "Mary C." in the household of "Elori" Campbell. Could the "C." stand for Catherine, the long form of Kate? This seems possible from the 1850 Cannon County census data.
  138. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes include a child of Henderson Campbell and Linda Lance named "Kate Campbell".

  365. Lance, family notes of James Jasper Lance Sr. These notes indicate a child of James Jasper Lance and Mary Prater named "Hannah Lance". No other finformation is given about her, other than she married a Toliver.
  366. Betty Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail messages from (unknown address) to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty and Don exchanged personal research on the early Warren County Tennessee Lances, Tolivers and Elams. Betty reports Hannah's birthdate as February 15, 1816. It was taken from a tombstone for Hannah Toliver in the Toliver Cemetery, near Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri. It is assumed she was born in Tennessee with the rest of her family.
  367. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports Hannah's birthdate as in December of 1816; the more recent date provided by family researchers in Missouri is taken to be the correct date.
  368. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty reports that Hannah is buried in the Toliver Cemetery near Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri.

  370. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports Hannah's death date as July 12, 1843; the more recent date provided by family researchers in Missouri is taken to be the correct date.
  371. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Since Betty's research has a child named John Jr. born in 1834, John Sr. and Hannah's marriage had to take place before that year.
  372. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports the husband of Hannah Lance as "John W. Toliver". The middle initial of "H." is taken to be correct as this is what appears on his tombstone. Sherman also lists a son named "John Hen ry Toliver, Jr.". This would seem to indicated that "Henry" is John's middle name.
  373. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty reports that Hannah's husband was John H. Toliver, Sr. Hannah Toliver's tombstone near Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri, lists Hannah's husband as "J H Toliver.".

  375. Mays, The Book of Lance., Sherman reports that John was born in 1813.
  376. Ibid., Sherman reports that John Toliver died in 1862 at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
  377. Ibid., Sherman reports that John Toliver and Hannah Lance had a child named "John Henry Toliver, Jr.".
  378. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty reports that a son of John H. and Hannah Toliver was John H. Toliver, Jr.
  379. Ibid., Betty reports that John Jr. birthdate (probably from his tombstone) is November 2, 1834.
  380. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports that John Henry Jr. birthdate is in 1840. This is probably incorrect, and later data is taken to be correct.
  381. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty reports that John Jr. is buried at the Toliver cemetery near Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri. His marker is labelled as "JHT.".
  382. Ibid., Betty reports that John Jr.'s death date (probably from his tombstone) is December 24, 1871. It is likely he died in Missouri since he was buried there.
  383. Mays, The Book of Lance.. Sherman reports that John Toliver and Hannah Lance had a child named "William James Toliver.".
  384. Ibid., Sherman reports that William James was born in 1839.

  387. Ibid., Betty reports that Menerva's birthdate is December 20, 1842. (From her tombstone).
  388. Mays, The Book of Lance., Sherman reports that Minerva was born in 1842.
  389. Haley, "Hannah (Lance) Toliver b 1816," e-mail to Donald (Don) Lynn Lance, August 2-3, 2001. Betty reports that Menerva is bured in the Toliver cemetery near Mt. Vernon, Lawrence County, Missouri.
  390. Ibid., Betty reports that Menerva died on October 27, 1865, (According to her tombstone). It is assumed she died in Missouri since she is buried there.
  391. Mays, The Book of Lance., Sherman reports that Minerva died in 1865.
  392. Ibid., Sherman reports that John Toliver and Hannah Lance had a child named "Orphan Jackson Toliver.".
  393. Ibid., Sherman reports that Orphan Jackson was born in 1843.

  406. Hillis, 1910 Warren County Tennessee Census, p. 287, District 11, Household 237. Martha Lance reported her father was born in South Carolina. This is obviously incorrect, in light of much other evidence. Since her mother was born in South Carolina, Martha may have suspected her father was born there as well. Henry's son Irvine in the 1910 reports his father as being born in Tennessee.
  407. 1860 U.S. census, population schedule, Warren County, Tennessee. Microfilm 1274, Book 1, p. 411a (June 4, 1860). Henry's age is 47, giving a birth year of circa 1813. Birthplace is South Carolina. This is likely a mistake, as Henry reports in other censuses that he was born in Tennessee. Perhaps he thought about his father's birthplace, or someone other than Henry talked to the census taker. Notice that his in this census is fairly different from what was reported in other censuses as well.
  408. Hillis, 1870 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 197, Household 56. Henry's occupation is listed as "Farmer.".
