Lewis Floyd Nance
I am a great grandson of Lewis Floyd Nance born in Robeson County, North Carolina On Dec. 28, 1846 and died Oct 20, 1921 in Rochelle, Wilcox County, Georgia. He served in the 3rd Battalion Junior Reserves in Company I. He was captured on Dec. 25(Christmas Day) 1864 at Fort Fisher, North Carolina (4 days before his 18th birthday) and spent the rest of the war in a Yankee prison. His father was Joshua Nance born about 1810 in Bladen County,N.C.died about 1874 in Robeson County, N.C. and his mother was Nancy Lewis born about 1820 in Robeson County, N.C.
If anyone has any more information on his family, I would like to hear from you. I know I have distant cousins in North Carolina, but I don't know who they are.
