Sharon,
I see your point on the 4, but if you look at John Slatten right
below it his 4 is almost closed at the top also. I still think that
it is a 4, but agree that more should look at it! Andy, Robert
Chumbley is living with that Slatten family. I will agree that
Melinda Chumley Slatten is Robert's daughter and so is Eliza Chumley
Lingar, but I am still trying to find the connection of Robert and
Betsy Ford Chumbley to the rest of their kids (particularly John
Chumbley m. Malinda Sharp)! Have any of you found anything????

Hi all, One final comment. This has been a real learning experience for
me. Also all the information I posted came from a Look-up Volunteer in
Polk Co. She interpreted the 1850 Census and sent the info. "Nuff
said" Thanks to all, Andy
Cyndi, Hi there! Speaking of Slatten along with the Robert "Churnley"
info there was a John Slatten, age 34,Tn, Melinda, age 25, Tn, Robert,
age 4, Tn, and a Lewis, age 2, Tn. Thanks, Andy

Hi, All! I just recently was sent a copy of the actual 1850 Polk
County, MO Census. If anyone wants the complete listing I will be
happy to type it in, but for now I can clear up a couple of points.
This is definitely why it is so important to check the actual records
instead of the indexes only! I kept coming up with questions on
another entry in an index and found they were way off when they
transcribed it! Any way Robert is listed as 64 (it could be taken
as 60, but if you look at the writing and the way they did 4 and 0 it
is a 4). He is also listed as Robert Chumly! If you look at the
words Farmer, Slatten, and Runnells on the same page you can tell it
is just the way the Census taker wrote his n's and m's. Any other
questions???
Hope this helps!

Hi Barbara, I don't know what is right with regard to the 1850 Census. I can
only report what is sent to me. The information that was sent seems valid with
the page number,family number etc,etc. I don't know. We must also notice the
spelling of his last name. My source made it clear that it was the only entry
that remotely resembled Chumbley or Chumley. I would like everyone on the List
try and solve the Robert/Betsy mystery. If this is correct information then 13
would be very young to start a family. In my opinion 17 is young to start a
family----I know its done all the time now and its OK for those that do it. Bye

Hi all, Just picked up a couple of things from Polk Co. Mo..The Polk
Co. Cemetery Book lists Robert as Chu---ey, Robert, (1786-Jan, 1853
King Cemetery) The name wasn't completely readable. Next is from the
1850 Polk Co. Census dated 11 Sept 1850, household #356, family #356,
page 25 in transcribed book published by the Ozarks Genelogical Society,
Springfield, Mo. 1989.. CHURNLEY, Robert, Farmer, 60, Male, Va.. This
is mighty close to the 1786 date we have come to accept for Roberts
birthdate. Problem is that I show that Andrew was born Feb, 1803. This
makes for a very young father!! Even with the 1786 date he was young.
More later. Andy
How about if I check the actual microfilm of those Census records next time
I'm at the DAR Library? The typeset and published censuses that are readily
available are only as good as the interpretation of whoever reads the
microfilm and some of them are pretty hard to read. Factor that in with the
mistakes that are so easily made and so easily overlooked in setting type.
Also realize that when people gave their ages on the census, they weren't
always accurate either because they truly didn't know, they made a mistake (I
know some days I don't remember how old I am), or someone else in the
household was giving the information and they just guessed. I think we've all
followed progressions of ages on consecutive censuses and don't find 10-year
increments. I'm not saying who's right or who's wrong; we just need to check
all possibilities.
Barbara
To: Andy and all
A couple of questions, (this first one is more of a clarification for me):
...."Names of Brothers and Sisters and Residencies: Thomas, William, Silas,
Sam, Dennis, Sarah, Mary, Victoria, and Lovetta. These are the brothers and
sisters of Marial G. Chumbley, correct ?
If the above is correct. I show John J. Chumbley married to Lurinda
McClendon; 2nd marriage to Margaret Cain. Do we have marriage dates ? And,
which of the above children, if any, belong to which wife ? Do they all
belong to John J. and Margaret ?
Happy New Year and may it be a prosperous one for all.
Richard C. Chumbley, Jr.
Newton, Kansas
Andy,
When you reported that a published 1850 Census of Polk Co. MO gave Robert
Chumbly's age as 60, I went back to my original notes:
In 1970 my aunt viewed microfilm rolls of the census and recorded his age as
64 which takes us back to 1786. At that time (or even now) a young man
becoming a father at 17 (if Andrew was born 1803) is not uncommon.
Barbara Meger
Hi all, I hope this works out!!! Name of Deceased: Marial G."Green"
Chumbley, Residence: Winslow, In, Died: June 21, 1947, Name of Parents:

Birth: June 11, 1862, Age: 85-0-10, Marriage: Margaret Strawn(there is
an arrow pointing to John B.) and Rosa Russ (this would have been the

picture of the marker), Number of Grand Children 4, Number of Great
Grand Children 2,Names of Brothers and Sisters and Residences: Thomas(

Cemetery( in Winslow,In) Well, there it is!! Oak Hill is where my
grandfather Charles Andrew is buried. More later. Bye for now, Andy
Barbara, I will try and do that. My typing isn't as fast as it was years ago.
There is quite a lot of information on each sheet. Will give it a shot. Bye

You've TEMPTED us with just names and a few dates from those 8 obituaries?
Would it please be possible to post them in their entirety?

This might be a good place to post a few queries about your lines in Claiborne
County.
I have added the requested Query Board to GenConnect with a link on the main
Claiborne County TNGENWEB Page located at:
<A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/claiborne/">Claiborne Co TNGENWEB</A>
I also have a link to the board from my page.
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/5273/genealogy.htm">Joe
Payne'sGenealogy Page</A>
I am keeping the old query link because of the older queries that I have put
up since 1996. This will take quite a load off me since I have had to cut and
past the queries into a new HTML file every time and add links back to the
submitter's email.
If you want to go directly to the Board you can at:
<A HREF="http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Claiborne">
Claiborne Co. Tn Queries Forum </A>
If anyone is interested in starting other boards such as Obits, Bios, Wills,
Deeds, Bible Rec. or Pensions we will try and get those started too.

Vicki,
I think that you have hit a gold mine because I have ALOT of
information to easily trace the history of the Chumney family on
your mother's side. You can review this information at my
chumney Website located at:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2175/chumney.html
I am Edward Lafayette Chumney. I am the son of Doyle Chumney born
in Dover, Ohio who is the son of Reader Chumney who was born in
Henderson County, Tennessee who is the son of Edward Chumney who
was born in Henderson County, Tennessee who is the son of
John F Chumney who was born in VA. Beverly and John F are brothers.
Their father is Willis Chumney/Chumley who was born in VA. Willis is
the son of Robert Chumley and Fanny Sadler of VA and Robert is the son
of John and Martha Chumley. The Chumney's/Chumley's came from England.
In England, the name was Cholmondeley but was pronounced Chumley.
Willis Chumney (the father of Beverley) father was CHUMLEY. Willis
became CHUMNEY. So, our 1st common relative is Willis Chumney the father
of Beverley.
I visited the Chumney cemetary in TN in 1996. It is not in very
good shape. Beverley and his wife is buried there.
Beverley had a son named Robert P. Robert P had a son named
George. This is probably your grandfather. I have the 1920 TN
Census index that has George and Callie. They were living in
Memphis, TN at the time. They had two children: James and Mary.
Can you send me an e-mail note that has your family history
that you have back to George and Robert P Chumney? I will list
you as a Chumney family researcher on my Webpage and list how
you are related to Beverley Chumney. I already have done the research
for you from Beverley back to his grandparents. I would like to have
the information that you have from Beverley forward.
Where do you live? Do you live in Tennessee? It is VERY EASY
to trace George back to Beverley with the US Census info. I already
told you the 1920 Census info for George and Callie. George was 28
Callie was 24. James is 4 and Mary is 2. Since they were living in
Shelby County in 1920, they were probably married in Shelby County.
You can get their marriage certificate by writing to Shelby County, TN
if you don't have this info already. In order to find your family
info in the US Census, you need the Chumney soundx code. The Chumney
soundx code is C500. You can order the TN soundx for the years
1910, 1900, 1880, 1870 and 1860. I already have the info for
John F and Beverley Chumney on the 1850 TN US Census. If you live
in Tennessee, you could probably go to your nearest library and they
would already have these census reels. Find George in the 1910 Census
and trace him and his father and grandfather back from 1910 to 1860.
If you live near a library that already has these census reels, you can
do this in ONE DAY. Will you then tell me what you find so that I can
add you and your family info on my Chumney Webpage?
If you are interested, there is a Chumney/Chumley/Chumbley
newsgroup on the Internet of people who are researching these surnames.
The Chumney/Chumley and Chumbley's are all related going back enough
generations. Info regarding how to subscribe to the this newsgroup
is at my Webpage: (http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2175/chumney.html)
To send e-mail to the newsgroup, the address is:
(chumbley-l(a)rootsweb.com).
I am looking forward to getting the info you have on the family
back to Beverley. I am looking forward to getting your reply.
Your cousin,
Eddie Chumney
