10. Robert D.⁶ Chaney (Francis⁵, Francis⁴, Francis³ Cheney, Thomas², Robert¹ Cheyny) (#42) was born in Overton, Haywood County, Tennessee, United States ABT 1795.⁽¹⁵⁶⁾ Robert died BEF 1860 in Missouri, United States.⁽¹⁵⁷⁾

He married Sarah A. BEF 1825. (Sarah A. is #43.) Sarah was born in North Carolina, United States ABT 1795.⁽¹⁵⁸⁾ Sarah died AFT 1860 in Arkansas, United States.⁽¹⁵⁹⁾ The identity of the father of Robert "Bob" and Hezekiah Chaney is unverified although there is some indication that his name was either William or Robert D. Chaney. The 1860 census of Carroll County, Arkansas, records the household of Hezekiah, age 21. Included are his wife, Frances Chaney, age 16, and two other individuals: Sarah Chaney, age 65, born in North Carolina, and Nenviah (sic) Chaney, age 18. This would have been shortly after Hezekiah, "Kye", married Frances. It seems probable that Sarah is his mother and Nenviah (probably an attempt to record Ninevah) is his brother known as "Bud" who died in 1863. A story passed down in the family of Robert "Bob" Chaney, recounted by his grand-daughter, Reecie Stroud Martin, tells how Bud "was killed during the Civil War. To escape fighting on either side he hid out in a cave. On coming out for food, he was ambushed by bushwackers. The women buried his remains in the Rule Cemetery, Rule, Arkansas."
