I read your message on Chancey. My grandmother was a Chancey, born in Hawkinsville, GA and
died in Jacksonville, Florida. Her father was Thomas N. Chancey [Houston county and
Pulaski county, GA] He married Maria Louiza Wallace in 1872, Hawkinsville.
My research is difficult on Thomas N. Chancey's family background. As I have been told
his parents died when he and siblings were young. Maybe his father was John Chancey,
jr???? And, I think he and his siblings were: Sarah E. Chancey, born 1840, William 1842,
John 1845, Thomas N. 1847 and Stephen 1849.
Do you have any records including these Chancey's?
I believe the the N. for Thomas N. is Nathan.
Thomas N. Chancey and wife, M. L. Wallace Chancey named two sons: John Thomas and Charles
Stephen. They both died very young. The other children were girls; all born in
Hawkinsville. My Grandmother was Miriam Douglas Chancey, born 1884 and married 1903 to
John Martin McLendon in Hawkinsville. [my mom was named Julia]
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Elaine
