Hello, Robert:
You mentioned that I was hard to reach--likely so, simply my university administrative duties. However, I will always try to answer you if you e-mail me at c.chancey@uni.edu.
I'm back looking at the GenForum messages after an absence of several years, and I've been reading your exchange with Chuck Owens about the French protestant Charles Chancy who immigrated to Virginia with his wife and two children in 1620.
There are other Chancys who appear in the Virginia record before those who appear in the later 18th C Henry County records. The following were grantees:
1. Gilbert Chancy, granted 50 acres on the west side of the Chickahominy River in James City County on October 27, 1686.
2. Jacob Chancy, granted 197 acres on both sides of Elkhorn Creek in Lunenburg County on August 16, 1756.
3. Mary Chancey, granted 550 acres on the south side of the North Fork of the Maherrin River in Lunenburg County on February 5, 1757.
4. Jacob Chancey, granted 380 acres on both sides of Elkhorn Creek, "adjourning his own land." This is now in Halifax County. The deed was made on July 26, 1765.
I haven't looked up the details of these land transfers (all in the Library of Virginia) but--as regards the earliest--there's no record of a Gilbert Chancy immigrating to Virginia so it's reasonable to assume he was born there or was brought as a child (unnamed, as happened with Charles Chancy's children).
Best wishes,
Cliff
