I am starting from scratch trying to find ancestors of the Chaney, Inlow Family.
Please asssist.
Patricia Ann Chaney's parents
Dale Ward Chaney - b. Licking Co., Newark, OH, 1923
Jo Ann Tompkins Chaney - b. Athens Co., Athens, OH, 1922
(Patricia's Father's parents) Henry Ward Beecher CHANEY (Ward); Henrietta INLOW (ENLOW) CHANEY
CHANEY (Patricia's Father's Name) - Frazysburg, Newark, Hebron, Licking County, Ohio Area; England
My father only had sibling, a sister, Bonita CHANEY BODINE who died in the 70s or 80s a stroke.
She was married to a Bart BODINE, Sr. from Fremont, CA. They had a son named Bart Bodine, Jr.
I do not know if Bart Bodine Sr, still survives. He was a police officer. Bart Sr. would be in his early 80s if he still survives.
Bonita was ~ two years older than my father who was born in 1923. If anyone has any leads on any Fremont, CA BODINEs, I would greatly appreciate a contact.
Sincerely,
Patricia Ann Chaney Gantt
Ronny sent me some information earlier on this:
It is unclear if his name was Barton Russell or Russell Barton Bodine as he appears to have used both Russ and Bart at different times. The Times of San Mateo of 21 Oct 1954 referred to him as Russ Bodine and as Bart Bodine on 7 Jana 1959. Family members say he was a police officer in Fremont, California.
Edna Chaney was the daughter of Henry Ward Beecher and Henrietta (Inlow) Chaney, with whom she was living 1930 in Madison, Licking County, Ohio. Before Feb 1961, Edna Chaney Bodine married Georga Henry Wallace (1929-1991).
