Read More	John Vance was born January 14, 1789, in Kentucky, the eldest son of Joseph and Nancy Bradley Vance. His parents had removed to Ohio in about 1800 when it was still part of the Northwest Territory. That John Vance had military service in the War of 1812 is known from his application for bounty land, and the application of his wife, Nancy, for a widow's benefit based on John's service. He applied for bounty land on March 4, 1855, at which time he was aged sixty-six. He described his service as a private in a company of independent rifleman commanded by Ammi Maltby. John had volunteered August 25, 1812, at Xenia, Greene County, Ohio, for a period of six months unless sooner discharged. He remained in service until September 29, 1812, and was honorably discharged at Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio, receiving $7.93 for his services. John declared he had volunteered again in May 1813 at Fort Menary in Ohio as a private in the company commended by John Davis under General Duncan McCarther. From there he marched to Fort McCarther and continued in actual service for about one month until discharged at Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio. He also stated he had previously received a warrant for forty acres but had sold the warrant, the number of which he could not remember. Nancy's pension application reaffirmed that John Vance served under Captain Ammi Maltby from August 25, 1812, until September 29, 1812, and under Captain Davis from May 3rd through the 20th of 1813. Her pension was admitted January 20, 1879, with an allowance of eight dollars a month from March 9, 1878. On October 8, 1811, prior to his war service, John made the first installment, #16608, on the purchase of 160 acres in the SE 1/4 of section 3, township 13, range 12. Franklin County, Indiana, near the Fayette County line, paying $2.00 per acre. After his military service, on December 25, 1813, John purchased an additional tract in the NE 1/4 of S32 in Connersville Township, Fayette County. There he followed the profession of carpenter and miller. Prior to 1819 he had a grist mill on Williams Creek, three to four miles below Connersville.
