Hi Nancy,
This is what I have in my files. It is good to note that the Chamness and
related families were Quaker at that time.
From as far back as I have:
John Chamness b England d Cane Creek MM, NC married Anne Weary
Anthony Chamness b England d NC married Sarah Cole. Sarah and Anthony had 12
children:
Elizabeth no further info
Susannah m Jeremiah Reynolds
* Joseph m Margaret Norton, 2nd Hannah Beeson
Sarah m David Vestal
Mary m John Davies (Davis)
Martha m Stephen Hussy
John m Charity Haworth
Anthony, Jr. m Margaret Williams
Rachael no further info
Ann m Jesse Comer
Lydia m William Ward, Jr.
Joseph Chamness m Margaret Norton and they I have listed 11 children:
Sarah m Obediah Elliot
William m Isabel Beeson
Elizabeth m William Pierson
Mary m Joseph Elliot
Joseph m Ruth McCraken
Anthony m Amy Reynolds
Mary m Francis Reynolds
Martha m Robert Moffit
Lydia m James Cruthers
Edward m Sarah Moody
Mourning m Daniel Osborn.
I do not have a Joel Chamness in my files. Please let me know if there
should be another child and if my genealogy is correct. I relate distantly to the
Chamness family via David Vestal who married Sarah Chanmess, dau of Anthony
Chamness and Sarah Cole.
