Hello Marcella, Abigail Strong married Nathaniel Chauncey, Rev. November 12, 1673 in Northampton, Connecticut.
Edmund Chancey Sr. came to Albermarle NC, now Pasquotank County NC. We believe Edmund was probably born in the Isl of Wight VA about 1640 and died ca 1680 in what is now Pasquotank County. His wifes name is unknown, but was possibly 'Margaret'. He had the following known children, Hannah, William Sr., Edmund Chancey Jr.
Edmund Sr. was a fairly young man when he died because all of his children were under legal age. Hannah was possibly the eldest, and chose her own guardian.
Only one of these decendents of Edmund Chancey left NC and went northward that I know of. About 1830, Micajah Chancey went to Michagan and is found there in the 1840 and 1850 census.
Some of Edmund Chancey Jr's decendents left the Pasquotank area and went to Bladen County NC in the 1750s.
The Genealogical Society of NE NC traced an Edmund Chancey born about 1615 in England to Albermarle NC, but there appears to be no documentation for this work. I have corresponded with the Society, and the individual who did this is now deceased, and her records are not available.
There are no records available that indicate where Edmund came from, either New England, or from England itself, that I have been able to locate.
Walley Chauncey was born ca 1708 in Boston MA to Charles Chauncey and Sarah Walley. Walley's father died when he was 3 or 4 years old, and he was sent back to England for his education. He returned to Boston, and set up an apothacary shop there, but left Boston around 1725 ~ 1730 and came to Beaufort County, NC. He was married twice, 1) Mary Snoad, and 2) Jemimah Boutwell. He had three children, Isaac, Samuel and Nancy. It appears all 3 of Walleys children married Beaner (now Baynor) children.
I have a little more for these Chanceys and Chaunceys if you need more info.
Regards, Robert
