Interestingly I am looking for a Chaney connection too. My great-grandmother's maiden
name was Chaney ... Her name was Lizzie Chaney Harper and she lived in Marengo and Clarke
Counties, Alabama. She was born about 1840 in North Carolina. From what I understand she
was an enslaved Native American (Cherokee) and sold to slave owners in Alabama. She is
listed as a Mulatto on most census records. However I have not been able to find any of
her siblings or any record from before 1870....
