Notes:
* Mary Ison VANCE (wife of Pleasant Doolittle THURMOND) is often referred to as Mary J. VANCE by genealogists and researchers. This mistake occurred when researchers erroneously read her middle initial as a "J" rather than an 'I" in a DEED OF TRUST filed Oct. 19, 1866 by George W. VANCE (Mary I. Vance's brother) to Joseph Bussey (brother-in-law to George W. and Mary I. Vance). MWR 2/24/02
