Guide to Nance Genealogy Pages


A Crouch Family Heritage Association Family Tree page

The Crouch Family Tree on the Web includes an upward genealogy of the ancestry of Mary Sarah Nance who married Jesse Crouch of Boone's Creek, Tennessee. According to genealogist Pete Nance, author of the Nance Register, the name of this Cornish family comes from the Nans valley in Normandy. The family is prominent in the Richmond area. Vice-President John Nance Garner was our third or fourth cousin. More information on related and possibly unrelated Nance lines in America is available at Dave Nance's Definitive Nance Genealogy Clearinghouse.

For upward genealogy, I have often only given every other generation its own web page. I.e. and e.g., if you had your own family tree page within our web site, your parents would probably be listed as your parents, and as the children on your grandparents' web page, but would not have their own page. Your parents' names would be the links between your page and your grandparents'.

So here is a chronological list of our Nance pages in my direct line:
AGNES TRUDELL m. LAWERENCE NANS (Cornwall, 1400s)
ALEXANDER NANCE alias TRENGROVE m. CONSTANCE GEYLETT
MARGERY ARUNDELL m. JOHN NANCE
Alice and Richard Nance || GRACE PIERCE m. THOMAS TINSLEY
