    1. [VAAMHERS-L] Chenaults in Amherst Co, VA
    2. My g g grandmother was Laura Chenault born 1850 who lived in Buckingham Co. Her father was John Henry Chenault who Married Catherine Routen. While looking for her I came across some Chenaults buried in Amherst Co. Calvin, his wife Mary and daughter Adaline and others. Most of them died in the early 1800's. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you what I know about it. I haven't been able to locate the cemetery, it is remote and grown up but I think it could be found. Susan
