John Chaney (middle initial could be "I" or "E" and middle name could
perhaps
be Ervin, Irwin or Erving) and Zilpha Jeffcoat Chaney had seven (7) children.
John was born about 1823, was in the Civil War and never returned home. We
therefore speculate he died between 1862-1865 - unless he took on another
life elsewhere. The seven children are:
1. Levi Chaney, b. 1844, d. 1864 (never married - died in Orange County, VA)
2. Anderson Earl Chaney, b. 1847
3. Jeremiah Chaney, b. 1850
4. John Chaney, b. 1852, d. 1925. We have been told middle initial was "I";
however, I believe it is also shown as "J" in come census records. He was
born in Woodford, SC (near Orangeburg, SC) and died in Swansea, SC. .He was
married twice - (1) Mariah E. Jeffcoat, (2) Lattie Dora Inabinet Mack
5. Basnett (Or Barnett) Chaney, b. 1856
6. Aunelia Ella ("Orrie") Chaney, b. 1857 (married a Sturkie)
7. Bailey Chaney, b. 1861, d. 1911. Wife was Antoinette (Anetta) Marie
Jeffcoat or Marie Antoinette Jeffcoat.
