I have David McCance (McCants) married Elizabeth McMeeken in 1802.David would have been 42 at this time so I feel that this was probably a second marriage.According to his pension application he was born in Lancaster Co, PA and moved to Chester Co, SC when he was about 3.He enrolled as Rev War soldier in Chester Co, SC.After the Rev he moved to York Co, SC where he married McMeeken in 1802.Around 1826 the family moved to Henry County, GA.David died about 1834.He named wife Elizabeth, dau Margaret, son Eli, son-in-law, Christopher Wiggers in his will.Records of estate also list Hugh McCance and Ruthey Clinton as heirs.My line is through Christopher Wiggers and his wife Elizabeth McCants.I would be most grateful if you have any info on David's parents or on any previous wife and children.Nancy Morris
