Hi, I think we have either exchanged Chaney info or I saw your postings. I've also
tried to connect my 2nd great grandfather, John L. Chaney, to the ones in Ohio and Bedford
Co., Pa. for a few years and keep hitting that brick wall. I find it interesting that your
2nd great grandfather was Alexander. John L. named his youngest son Alexander. He was born
Feb. 10, 1868,in Pa. probably in Armstrong Co. and died April 4, 1887 Pa. He is buried in
the Tidal Cemetery, Armstrong Co.,Pa. I don't know the cause of his death.
John L. was b. 1827 Bedford Co. and told his family he was from Broad Top. His father was
Richard Chaney who died, I feel, before the 1840 census was taken. By the 1850 census,
John L. is living in Armstrong Co., Pa. a single man.
I believe Edward Chaney is the one who moved to Ohio with his family. I don't know
about the others. I have collected info from Ancestry, census, newspaper articles, on the
ones who continued to stay in Bedford and Huntingdon Co. in hopes one would mention my
line in Armstrong Co. but so far no luck.
I'm willing to share the info I've collected.
Lona
