In reading the Wythe County, VA Order Books, I have found
the following entry for September 1808, p. 342: Abel Chaney
to give deposition in Anne Arundall State of Maryland ,,, to
any of those persons certifying themselves to be Justices of the
said county." George Jones and wife Alice were the Plaintiffs
in this case. Several other names are listed but Abel Chaney
is the one I am interested in.
The next entry lists: John Patten and Anne his wife (looks
like a Frederick Idle) Plaintiff takes deposition of Nathan
Mullinix, Abel Chaney and others, County of Anne Arundell
of MD.
Nathan Mullinix as well as Chaneys ended up in Overton/
Fentress counties, TN. Does anyone know what these cases
were about?
I also have the book and date for Hezekiah Chaney's Will
if anyone is interested.
My search is for my ancestor, reputedly Mary Chaney,
who married Andrew Boswell in Abingdon according
to reports. Andrew is listed in Tazewell Co., VA in 1809,
in TN by 1813. Is anyone else working on this family?
Always glad to exchange information!
