Hello Jacqueline:
Is your Jackson Cheney the same who appears on the Coles County, Illinois, 1850 census? If so, do you have any WILSON lines connected to your Cheney's? The Wilson's and Cheney's may just have been family friends that went way back, or could have had family connections. I am researching the Wilson line. My gr-gr-grandfather Reuben Wilson appears on the Coles 1860 census in Humboldt Township. There is a Charles Chaney living in Washington County, Indiana, where Reuben's family lived for a time -- and in Coles, Illinois, I see Jackson Cheney on the same page as Gabriel Wilson, who I am almost certain is a relative of Reuben's. Of course, I see your last name is Wilson, so it really got my interest. Would love to hear from you!
