My James Vance (1691-1757 to 1777) m Rachael Primrose (b1754).

James Vance received a grant of 305 acres from William Beverly in what would become Bath County in 1749. He must have passed away shortly afterwards, because in 1752 his widow Rachel was in possession of the land. In 1800, John P Vance's sons sold portions of this land, which they had acquired by inheritance. On a note from 1762, John P Vance signed his name John Primrose Vance, from which it is assumed that Primrose was his mother's maiden name. A similar tradion holds in the Warwick family, into which John's sister Mary wed; it was said that her first daughter was named Mary Primorse Warwick after her grandmother.

they had 5 children:
John Primrose Vane m Martha Worth
James Vance
Benjamin Vance
Samuel Vance m Sarah Bird
and Mary Vance (1743-1823) m Jacob Warwick (my line)
