"From old letters written by our ancestor Jesse Dancy, and in the possession of Ida Brower of Vinita, Okla., we infer his positive stand against the Slavery question that was then at fever heat in the South. Because of this stand we next find him at the beginning of the [Civil] war, in Fulton County, Illinois, joining his son William and daughter Irene with their families, who had lately moved to Ohio.
"Shortly after the close of the war we find him in Berry [sic] County, Mo., living near Corsicana. The following children going with him: Irene, who had married George Snyder, Lucinda Ann, Nickatira, James W. and Katira. The left the only two other children, William and James, living in Fulton County, as Elizabeth Jane (Turner) had died in 1863 near Lewistown.
"Here Jesse and family lived until his death Sept. 6, 1870, and he is buried in the Dancy burial lot in Corsicana cemetery. Rebecca, the wife, remained in Missouri living with her children until about 1880, when she went to live with her son William in Republic County, Kansas, where she died April 1, 1883, and is buried in Prairie Rose cemetery near Republic County, Kansas."
