After the very pertinent comment made above by an unknown individual, I would like to continue in the same vein. Andrew was one of "the three traditional brothers" that came from Northern Ireland and settled in Virginia. Why is that? Because he is the earliest Vance who died in Virginia. The other two died in North Carolina and Tennessee. The same Beers Project that we have been quoting for Rev. John Vans, AM and Dr. Lancelot Vans says on p. 54 (as usual) says as follows:
Families are known to have settled in New England, New Jersey and Virginia. The Rev. James I. Vance, pastor of the First Presterian Church of Norfolk, Va., speaking by authority, says: "The three traditional brothers came from the North of Ireland and settled in the valley of Virginia. One went thence to North Carolina and from him the North Carolina Vances are descended, among whom is Senator Zebulon B. Vance. Another brother went to Tennessee, and from him my family is descended".
Although the Rev. James I Vance happens to be descended from the Tenessee Vance, it would be reasonable to expect most Virginia Vances to be descended from the man who did NOT leave the state. Thus Andrew's death in Virginia is strong (although not conclusive) evidence that he is in the right place. In addition, the fact that he was transported to Pennsylvania to be buried shows that he had roots in both areas. This will be important when assessing the reasonability of DOB / DOD information for his descendants.
