Hi,
I'm back to researching my CHANEY family in Pennsylvania and wondering if
anyone on this list is also researching in that state.
My material 2nd great grandfather was:
John L. CHANEY (I don't know what the L. stands for but hoping it is Lewis)
b. 1827 in Bedford County, Pa. either in Broad Top or that area.
d. Dec. 8, 1898 Tidal, Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania
m. abt. 1855 - Western Pennsylvania
Suphrona A. Myers
John L. never talked about his family until a family member feels he was
dying. The following is some information on John's parents and siblings.
RICHARD CHANEY, John L.'s father, died young and left a wife and children.
Mother - we don't have a name - I have found a Rebecca CHANEY in the 1840
Broad Twp. Bedford Co., Pa. that may be the one I'm looking for.
Children:
Mary Ann CHANEY b. 1814 - married a Mr. YOUNG - I feel this is William
YOUNG son of William and Elizabeth FORD or FOORE YOUNG
Elon CHANEY b. 1816 - married a Mr. DAVIS - I feel this is Benjamin C.
DAVIS son of Llewellyn and Margaret JONES DAVIS
Elizabeth CHANEY b. 1821 - married a Mr. GATES - I feel Elizabeth was the
first wife of Henry C. GATES son of Joseph Claude and Margaret CHAMBERLAIN
GATES
female CHANEY b. 1822 - married a Mr. MYERS
Sarah CHANEY b. 1824 - married a Mr. HUSE
Jane CHANEY b. 1826 - married a Mr. CINK (I wonder if this could be a Mr.
ZINK)
David CHANEY b. 1828
I'm willing to share what I have on my CHANEY line. Any help is
appreciated.
Thank you.
