Theory #1 - Possible father is John Nance  (same as #3?) and his brother being Harden NANCE who married Mary B. (M.N.U.)

Theory #2 - Possible parents Allen Nance and Betsy Nance (NOTE: Revised 9 May 2009, not likely to be his father unless Allen and Betsy moved from TN to VA and back to TN between 1810 - 1820)
I believe DNA has proven this incorrect too.
 
Theory #3 - Possible father is John W. Nance son of William Malone Nance and Elizabeth Thornton - UPDATE (5/12/2013): Having had a yDNA test done, the lines for William Malone Nance appear to be I2a where my Pleasant line Nance is an R1b. So Pleasant couldn't be a part of this line.

Theory #4 - UPDATED 12/22/2021. Probably my BEST theory yet!! Possible father is John Nance and Elizabeth Nance, John being the son of John and Mary/Molly (COX?) Nance, of Rockingham County NC. Tying them with some of the Henry County, VA NANCE.
