Working on my husband's lines. His great great grandfather was Benjamin Hayes Chancey
born 1864 and according to the 1930 census he claims to have been born in Massachusetts.
I cannot find any Chauncey or Chancey to come close to this in that place or anywhere else
in the US. I will give what I do know and would love if any of you have run into this guy
in your research.
Benjamin Hayes Chancey b. 1864 d. 1954 in New Haven County, Connecticut.
He married Annie Pearl McClelland in Kemper County, MS. The family story is that he was
passing through the area as an eye glasses salesman. Annie died in 1926. He is living
there in 1930 with children Benjamin, Ella, William, Albert, John and Jettie? Son, John,
moved to CT at some point and Benjamin was living with John when he died. I can offer some
additional info on this family going forward if anyone recognizes any of this and can
connect.
