It has been a while since we commujnicated and you probably already have the information I
have. As far as I know there is no proof that Elizabeth was Elizabeth Burton. It seems to
be an assumption. The earliest record I have found on Obidiah Chaney was as a witness to a
deed in Pittslyvania Co. Virginia as follows: I have tried to connect these people to
Obadiah in the future and the closest I ccan come is that some of the family showed up in
Green Co. Ky about the same time as Obadiah and that there was an Obadiah Fitzgerald and
that maybe the connection of the same given name means they were related. I know it's
a stretch.
