If they have the same father, I wonder why they have different last names.

Maybe the dad was never married to one or both mothers?

I believe that Vice President Vance changed his last name to his maternal grandmother’s family name.

Yes his grandmother raised him and he was in essence his grandparents son.

A nice tribute.
