I've been working on all of these Ezekiel Chaney's and am curious about the Ezekiel Chaney who is shown in themarriage records as marrying a Mary Balzel on 6 Sep 1794 Allegany Co. MD;
Any ideas who this Mary was or her family? And what about this Ezekiel, records show him as having been born in 1772? Who were his parents?
After working with the Chaney records for a few weeks now, I have come to the conclusion that they are a terrible mess. It seems people are just placing these old men into families and putting together whatever children they happen to find in their families. There just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how these families are being put together. It makes for a very confusing genealogy and one very confused researcher.
I would really like to see more sources of documentation listed if possible.
