Reuben CHENEY (1797/8- ) NY > DuPage, IL
I'm trying to identify the Reuben CHENEY in the 1850 Census of Du Page Co., IL.He is the only CHENEY in the county.
The 1850 Census record reads:
Town of Du Page, Du Page Co., IL, p. 3B, 40/41, enumerated 19 Aug 1850.
Reuben Cheney 52 m Farmer 1200 NY
Sally Cheney 49 f Can
Otto D Cheney 14 m NY
Caroline Cheney 11 f NY
Emily M. Cheney 8 f NY
This may be the same Reuben CHENEY who is in the 1840 Census of Cattaraugus Co., NY, and the 1830 Census of Chautauqua Co., NY -- at least, there are no other more likely candidates on the Broderbund Census Index CDs.
By the way, the index on this CD ("Census Microfilm Records: Illinois, 1850," Broderbund CD-301) shows Reuben CHENEYs on p. 3 and p. 4, but there is none on p. 4.It is not the case that the record spans the pages; it is in the middle of p. 3.
