Descendants of Thomas L. and J. Robert VANCE of Marion Co after 1880

Surnames: VANCE, EMERY
Thomas and Robert VANCE came from Fayette Co, PA to Marion County after 1850. We are searching for descendants of their sons Benjamin F. VANCE (b. 1857, d. 1889 [possibly a bachelor]), George W. VANCE (b. 1859, d. ?, no information on marriage), and Dale Wayman VANCE (b. 1894 d. 21 Nov 1938). We know Dale was married to Lillian EMERY and they may have had children between 1930 and 1938. Dale and Lillian may have been from the Fairmont area. We have not been able to find his obituary. We are seeking information that will asssit us in locating a male descendant for purposes of Y-DNA testing. Such testing should help establish a family relationship going back to the 1780s. GSkinner1948 has been of tremendous help in the past and perhaps might suggest how we pursue this part of our search. This VANCE line had mostly daughters, making this a special challenge.
