Abner VANCE Sr. [Parents] died 16 Jul 1819 in Washington Co., VA. He married Susanna HOWARD in Russell Co., VA.
Abner Vance migrated into the southwestern part of Virginia (Clinch River
Valley, Russell Co) sometime arount 1790. He was of the Baptist faith
and spent much of his time preaching. One of Abner's daughters (and it
is thought to have been Elizabeth) ran off with Lewis Horton. After
several months Lewis Horton returned with the girl and dropped her off at
her parent's home. It is said that Abner and Susannah pleaded with Lewis
to marry the girl. He refused and turned to ride away. Abner went into
the house and returned with his gun and shot Horton as he was riding
away. Horton died a few hours later. Abner became a fugitive. He left
Russell County that night, Sept. 17, 1817, and traveled along the Tug and
Guyandotte Rivers where he spent the next two years. Abner returned to
Russell County at the urging of his family to stand trial. Public
opinion was that Abner would be "freed" due to his "reputation as a
preacher." On his arrival he was locked in jail and held without bail.
The trial ended in a hung jury. A second trial was held in Washington
County, VA. There Abner was found guilty and sentenced to hang. The
case was taken to the court of appeals but the lower courts decision was
upheld. Petitions for the release of Abner Vance were circulated but to
no avail. Abner was hanged on July 16, 1819 in Abingdon, VA. A short
time afterwards a courier arrived with a pardon from the Governor.
Susannah left and migrated into the Tug, Big Sandy and Guyandotte River
Valley.
