Joy, I do not have the 1870 Census. In the 1880 Census, I do not find a William Chaney in Lowndes County...Here are some from other locations. Hope this helps, tho I don't think they fit your William. Maybe someone else will be able to help with the 1870 time period. Sharon ================= >I would be very grateful if someone would look up William Chaney and Polly A.F.Griffis,spelling could be off>ie Griffiths,Griffith,Griffin,etc.,in the 1870 and 1880 census.William was born Jan.1863 and Polly in Sept.1865.These are my GGrandparents. Thank you so much.
