Hi, Lona --
Yes, I'm a Maryland Chaney, straight back.
I'm glad you mentioned the name Duvall. My great-grandfather lived with a neighboring
Duvall during the summer of 1860 when the census was taken. I assume he was a farmhand,
helping out. As a first possible step, why don't you look at this map --
http://www.mdslavery.net/html/mapped_images/aad4.html
When I look at it, I see all kinds of Chaneys and other branches of my family. You may
find names on this map that match the names in Broad Top, Pennsylvania. At some point,
with enough matches, common sense indicates that the two communities were linked.
I'll not mention names to you because I don't want to predispose you. My
great-great-grandfather was Joshua Chaney whom you will find northeast of the word
Patuxent, but there are Chaneys scattered all over the map.
Don't overlook the resources interlibrary loan can offer. I could have done very
little without it.
Sally

Hi Sally,
Thank you for responding to my e-mail. I have used the following books from our little
local genealogy library but the books only go so far and I can't seem to find Pa.
information on line that can give me the information I'm needing. Our little
genealogy library mostly has southern information.
Maryland and Virginia Colonials by Sharon J. Doliante
Maryland Marriage Evidences, 1634-1718
I am trying to connect my Richard CHANEY to Richard the immigrant who settled in
Maryland. In 1785 Dr. Jeremiah Duvall ,who lived in Maryland, received land in the area
of Pa. that became Broad Top where my John L. CHANEY was from. The CHANEY's were one
of the families Dr. Duvall brought with him. I have first names for some of those
CHANEY's but so far have not been able to learn more about them. I know that Edward
Chaney and his family left Pa. and settled in Highland, Ohio.
I don't know if you can help me after what I've given you. Are you connected to
the CHANEY's in Maryland?
Thank you,
Lona

You might look at the string of Richard Cheyneys / Richard Cheneys / Richard Chaneys in
Maryland near Annapolis. The first Richard Cheyney in America arrived before 1650. The
name is the only reason it's worth a look. I have no knowledge of a Richard Chaney of
Maryland going to Pennsylvania. I can get you started on the Maryland Chaneys if you want
to give it a try. --Sally Phillips

Richard and Rebecca are one of my 3rd great maternal grandparents. I would like to learn
the names of their parents and hope there is some one out there working on this line. Here
is some of what I know.
Richard was b. abt. 1796 Pa. and Rebecca was b. abt. the same time. They married abt. 1814
and in the 1820 Pa. Census were living in Hopewell Twp. Bedford Co. with their 2
daughter's under 10. These daughters would be Mary Ann CHANEY b. abt. 1814 and d. 1880
in Iowa. Her husband was William YOUNG. The other daughter was Elon CHANEY b. abt. 1816 d.
1867 Indiana Co., Pa. She was married to Benjamin C. DAVIS.
In the 1830 Pa. Census the family is still living in Hopewell, Bedford Co., Pa. and they
now have 8 children, Elizabeth CHANEY b. Aug 2, 1821 and d. July 1, 1867 m. 1841 and was
the 1st wife Henry C. GATES, Sarah CHANEY b. abt. 1824 and married to Mr. HUSE, Jane
CHANEY b. 1826 m. 1844 Henry ZINK, John L. CHANEY, my 2nd great grandfather b. 1827 d.
Dec. 8, 1898 Tidal, Armstrong Co., Pa. m. Sophrona A. MYERS, David CHANEY b. abt. 1828.
There was also a daughter b. abt. 1822 and married to a Mr. MYERS. Two of these daughters
are not counted in the 1830 census.
By the 1840 census Broad Top Twp. has been formed and the CHANEY's are living in that
area without Richard who has died. Rebecca is living next door to Issac GROVE whose wife
was Ann LONG.
Rebecca died before the 1850 census and my 2nd ggrandfather is living in Armstrong Co.,
Pa.
Any help is appreciated in learning the names of Richard and Rebecca's parents.
Thank you,
Lona
