do not know if there is any connection or not. I have a Thomas Chaynay,
cheney, chaney (many variations of the spelling) son of William Cheney and
Penelope Payne Cheney. william appears in Middlesex county, Va in the late
1600's and Thomas is also born in the 1600's, he is christened into the
Cchrist Church which I understand was a Quaker church. I have records from
the church record book. Thomas marrys Jane Sweptstone they are my direct
line.
Would love to be able to just get them onto the U.S. soil from
somewhere.
there is a lot of speculation that maybe they came through Barbados or
Jamacia as they settled in a town by the name of Jamacia,Va. in Middlesex
County,
I have been down there several times but Jamacia just does not exist any
longer. just a sign in the road now.
do you have anything other than what you posted?
hope you had a nice Easter
