What I am gathering for the bits and pieces is the Chaney origins in
Virginia and North Carolina and they migrated to Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi which used to commonly referred to as the Mississippi
Territory. Ummm.I believe we do have connections but we need to connect
the dots.
In the 1960 Tippah County Census there is a John F. Chaney age 36
Carpenter and His wife D. Chaney.This John F. Chaney fought in the civil
war and is listed I believe under the 2nd battalion also in the area was
a William H. Chaney and his wife and a son on the 1870 Census in the
same county and both he and his wife list that they are from Alabama.
It is well known in my family that my 2nd great grandmothers parents
originated from Alabama however, that does not dismiss them coming from
North Carolina or Virginia..
As I have said before Cordelia F. Chaney is part Cherokee and after
doing some research a Chaney family is listed on the Dawes rolls.but I
know considering the times and previous persecution that they denied
their native heritage and this is known throughout my family as being
"Black Dutch" because my 2nd great grandfather John D. Davis was of
Dutch descent and he was born in 1863 Tennessee.
So, the Lord willing we will connect the dots with hard evidence to our
relationship to the Chaney's in North Carolina and Virginia.and I am
considering strongly that it was Nathaniel Chaney.but I could be wrong.
