Please help if you have any information that can help me find my GG grandmother's
Chaney family. Her death certificate lists her as Annie E. Chaney born September 15, 1858
in Cincinnati, OH. Father listed as "Chaney" and mother listed as
"unknown."
Family lore claims her father was from France, but the first time Anna shows up on the
Census is in 1880, married to John Farney Woodruff, and her parents are both listed as
born in Ohio.
Family lore claims she was married off to an elderly uncle at a very young age in order to
nurse him. I believe this may be why we've lost her trail, as her last name may have
changed when she was still a young girl.
Any information from Chaney family would be most appreciated!
