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
