Thanks DATE: Jul 13, 1998 RESEARCHER: Kimberly Nance, kanance@ilstu.edu NANCE / ROSEMOND Looking for the last name, parents, siblings etc of a Sarah, born about 1814 in Union County, who married a John Nance (one of many John Nances in this area) and had a son named Larkin Rosemond Nance in 1835. John and Sarah's other known sons were William and James. The family moved to Texas, but Larkin married Anne Palmer Cudd in Georgia, and all but one of Larkin and Anne's children were born in Texas. Given the naming pattern, this Sarah might be a Sarah Rosemond or a Sarah Larkin, or these names might be somewhere in her family tree.
