Surnames: Cheney, Chaney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vd.2ADE/1032.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: That Aquilla (the horseman) is probably the son of Thomas Benson Cheney who is said to be the younger brother of the Aquilla who was born in Maryland and died in Monroe County, Ga. The horseman Aquilla is probably the one listed in Morgan County marriages as Aquela Cheney to Amanda Massey on 12/31/1857. The names Aquilla and Cheney were often misspelled in census and other documents. My problem is trying to identify the Quiller Chaney listed in the Morgan County Census of 1820. He is listed right next to Thomas Cheney but the Aquilla,born in Maryland, was already in Monroe County. Thanks for your input. Bill
