I just received a copy of the Last Will and Testament of William Chaney, Jefferson County, TN, 1846 (minute book 11, pags 324-325).I suspected that John was part of this family, but had no proof.Many of the forum postings and trees do not show "John" as a son of this William.I was pleased to see that the will clearly states "...and the money arising from said sale including all other money which may be left from the support of my wife Tabitha as before mentioned, be equally divided between my other heirs to with:John, James, William, Charles, Able, Hezekiah, Elisha, Betsy, Vitlia (? difficult to read), Rosanna, Icy, and Emeline.The executor of the will is Samuel Riggs.I believe it was Mary Fulman who John married, as you indicated, m. 24 Aug 1819, Washington, TN.IGI has a birth record for Mary Fulman--1798, Jefferson County--so this may be our gal.I need to do lots more work in Jefferson and Grainger Counties.John Chaney is on the 1830 and 1840 census in Grainger County, and I have a note that in 1814, Grainger County, there is a land deed 48a, E dist. bk4, p114, g#3310.I'm hoping you're familiar with this William Chaney family and that you have additional information. I see you are a Chaney--maybe you can fill in some holes.I'll track the information you provided...many thanks.Email me at [email protected].
