BETZ--My great grandfather's brother born and baptized in Jennerstown, Somerset County, PA 1841-1844, is rumored to have died in New Millford, Winnebago County, Illinois! His name was Emmanuel B. BETZ or maybe BETTS but I have no other information about him or about his life and/or family. Perhaps he has produced offspring who see his name here and know that there is an extended family of 'shirt-tail' relatives who are anxious to learn about him and them! Billie

I am interested in finding information about my ancestor Adam HANCE, b. ca 1780 is the possible son of Isaac Hance and Catherine Miller (d. of Adam Miller). At the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Bunn (b. ca 1783) of Washington, New Jersey, She is the possible daughter of Nathan Bunn and Elizabeth Morgan. At the time of their marriage Adam was from Mendham Township, Morris County, New Jersey. They were married in 1801 in Morris County, New Jersey and emigrated to Scipio township of Seneca Co., Ohio prior to 1820, he is listed in the 1820 census. They had eleven children, among them were Isaac (1805), Adam Jr., Thomas (1813), and Hibbard, other possible children were William, Archibald, John, Sylvester and Elizabeth.
Adam and Elizabeth with sons Isaac, Thomas and Hibbard left Seneca County in the 1830's and settled in Burritt Township in Winnebago Co., IL., Adam died in 1857. I am unsure of the death date of Elizabeth Bunn Hance. Both Adam and Elizabeth are buried in Winnebago County. In 1856 Isaac and his wife Caroline DeWitt Hance(sister to Pheobe) went to Chickasaw County, IA. Thomas, his wife Phoebe DeWitt Hance and family are buried in the Pecotonica cemetery.
