      "Clayton N. Lance, born in what is now Cannon County, Tennessee, March 13, 1813, was the eldest son of [J42] James Jasper Lance, the head of the Lance clan in Warren County, Tennessee. He moved into the western edge of [today's] Warren County with his family about 1830.

      "In 1833 he returned to his former home community [somewhere in today's Cannon County] and claimed as his bride his childhood sweetheart, Matilda Luttrell (Literal).

      "In 1836, with his wife and young son, James Silas, and his wife's mother (now a widow), he migrated to the then new settlements of Eastern Alabama, and settled near the Creek Indian Village of Talledega, where he lived among the Creek Indians, learning their language well enough to carry on long conversations with their Chief.

      "After a short sojourn in Alabama, he returned with the family to Tennessee by way of Muscle Shoals near Florence, Alabama and helped in digging the canal around the Shoals. The canal is still in use at the present time (1977). While there he witnessed the march of the Indians from Alabama to their new home in the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).

      "Arriving back in Warren County, he purchased a tract of land from his Father for a home, which remained in the hands of his family for nearly 150 years."
