The Biography Obediah Chaney Sr states that a son name Robert is also mentioned. This is a mistake and Richard (my 2 Great Grandfather) is the other son mentioned in the Will. Obediah states in his Will that he disposed all my land amongst my children upon special agreement. It also states his for his wife Elizabeth shall have and enjoy all the household and kitchen furniture which he now possesses together with all the farming utensils and also a black Boy by the name of Joe, a girl by the name of Mary and a woman by the name of Phebe and also two horses _______ and Charley and a yoke of Oxen and Wagon, and as many cattle as she my wife Elizabeth may think proper to keep, and all the sheep and hogs, and all the crops of corn, wheat, oats and Tobacco, the net proceeds of all the of all the tobacco now on hand, my son Richard Chaney is entitled to one fourth part thereof, and then the balance my wife Elizabeth the balance. I also desire that my wife Elizabeth shall have all the cash notes which may be on hand at my death, (except those on my children) and all the money which may b on hand to do with as she may think proper, the balance of my negros, horses, cattle, and property of every kind not herein mentioned or be bequeathed, shall be sold to the highest bidders, by my Executor or Administrators as hereinafter named at my death.

George P. Chaney and Obediah Chaney Jr were appointed Executors.

Chere,

I was just wondering why it has taken over a month to try and merge these 2 Obediah Chaneys. I did not know if I made one of my usual mistakes when I initiated a merge. Just wondering why it is still floating around or is there anything I should do. When I initiated the merge it told me that it would be handled by someone who had the authority to do so.
