84. William⁶ Chaney (Rueben⁵, Joseph⁴, Jacob³, Charles², Richard¹ Cheyney) (#1334) was born BEF. 1848.⁽¹⁴⁰⁾ William died 1890.

He married an unknown person. William Chaney, the son of Rueben Chaney, was born near Laurel Grove, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. While a young man in 1848, he and his father emigrated to the State of Indiana, and in the early part of his life there he engaged in the cattle business. He was married there but it is not known what his wife's maiden name was. He raised two sons to my knowledge, whose names were Henry and Jesse. William visited Virginia in 1889 and stayed until the Spring of 1890, visiting his kindred. He visited me while here and stayed part of his time with Henry C. Chaney and in Laurel Grove neighborhood among his relatives. He said that he wanted to see one more time the old place where he spent his childhood days and to drink some water from the old spring. He went back home to Indiana and died soon after his return. He was a member of Missionary Baptists and seemed to be devoted to the Cause, taking an active part in the meetings while here. He died in the year 1890 though I do not know how old he was at the time of his death. However, I suppose he was sixty or more years old. written in 1907 by Henry Watson Chaney
