Nathan Lance
Nathan Lance was born in Lebanon Township, Hunterdon Co., N.J. Feb. 25, 1820. He is a son of William and Mary (Anthony) Lance. His grandfather, Peter Lance was an early settler in Lebanon, and lived on a farm in the township near Anthony.

Nathan Lance has resided all his life on the farm where he was born. He has been a justice of the peace for twenty years, and has held nearly all the local township offices at different times, being in his political principles a Democrat, as were his father and grandfather before him. Part of his estate he inherited from his father and part he has acquired by purchase from the other heirs.

In 1843 he married Margaret, daughter of Morris Fritts, of Lebanon township, and has one child, Mary Cornelia, wife of William H. Anderson, a farmer, residing in an adjoining house of the homestead. They have five children--Lauretta, Anna, Emma, Margaret, and Nathan.

Mr. Lance is a member of the Presbyterian of Pleasant Grove, Morris Co., and is an elder in that body.
