I found Gilbert Chainey in Huntingdon Co., PA in 1790. On the same page are listed Isia
Chainey and also Edward, Reason, and Chainey Ricketts.
Isia Chainey in 1790 census contained 1 male under 16, 2 males over 16, and 3 females.
I am trying to figure out Isia's family and whether he is the same Isaiah Chaney
listed as the bondsman for Suzannah Chaney and Thomas Beatty in 1804 in Mason Co., KY.
Besides Suzannah Chaney's marriage in Mason Co., KY, there are Edward Chaney in 1803,
Betsy Chaney in 1807 and James Chaney in 1807 plus a Nancy Chaney in 1814. (Edward
& James are strongly connected - brothers. Edward's marriage bondsman was a
William Ricketts - related to Isia's neighbors?)
Some people have this James Chaney of Mason Co., KY being the son of Rev Edward Chaney BUT
the Rev. Edwards' son is accounted for in Ohio.
