Robert,
The connection that you have is probably this same person. Lizzie Sanders is the child of
Thomas Sanders and Fannie Lanier. She married Gus Chancey in Live Oak, Florida. The
marriage certificate indicates the spelling of Chancy! Had to go there and see it myself,
and get a copy, to believe that one. My father was totally beside himself. Funny what
triggers some folks. The way these appeared in the record books there, they may have been
transcribed from the original.(?) Have any of you researchers come across this? Any idea
as to why it might have been done?
Curiously, one of her sisters, which I haven't put in my database, married a Chauncey.
They resided in Jacksonville. I'll run the names down and post.
