Have you found out anything more on Daniel C Chaney? Do you know where he was born and or who his parents were?You are correct he had to families, i.e.Elizabeth J (Unknown maiden name) and Sarah Jane Landers.I believe you have the children of Sarah Jane Landers, but if now, let me know and I'll send it to you.With Elizabeth J he had four boys, John b 10/12/1859, Albert b 9/26/1858, Pearl b 1857, and Charley Dayton b 1/1/1860.
The story passed down from my gg aunt was that Elizabeth J was sick for some time, and Sarah Jane lived on a near by farm and would come over and care for her until her death.Later, one day Daniel gathered the four boys and ask them if they would like to have Sarah Jane come live with them and they said yes.He sent one boy with the horse and buggy to get her, and another boy on horseback to fetch the preacher.They were married in 1868 on the Chaney family farm in Mt Pleasant, Bates County, Missouri.
