I am looking for a relative of John Chaney b 1774 and Elizabeth Dawson b 1780
of Allegany Co, Maryland. I want to know who the parents are of Joseph C
Chaney born abt 1818 in Va - married Elizabeth Frailey 27 april 1835 in
Allegany, Maryland - then went out to Illinois before settling in Scotland
Co, Missouri. Now most of John Chaney and Elizabeth Dawon's children
followed Joseph C Chaney out and ended up in Scottland Co, Mo too. For years
I always thought they must have been brothers and sisters. I have heard
recently from a man who says no Joseph was not part of John Chaney's family.
John was never in Va and Joseph was not listed in the church records with the
rest of the family.
John Chaney b 1774 was the son of Nathan and Hannah Chaney of Prince George
Co, Maryland. I have found just the names of 4 of his sons (Isaac, Jesse,
John b 1774 and Thomas). Does anyone reconize this family? Did any of these
sons go to Virginia? Have you come across a Joseph C Chaney b 1818 in Va?
Surely he is relatived somehow to John Chaney b 1774.
Thank you
Marilyn
