Source: The Fort Wayne News; Fort Wayne, Indiana; July 29, 1899; Page 1.

Evansville, Ind., July 29. -- Three people ended their lives in the Ohio river in front of this city last night. They are:
MATTINGLY, August, 17 years of age
CHEANEY, Miss Pearl, 14 years of age
ONA, Miss Marion, 20, of Henderson, Ky.
The young people, in company with John CHEANEY, Wm. CHEANEY and Miss Teresa ONAN, went skiff riding and were caught in the rapids in front of the mail line wharfboat, and their skiff capsized. MATTINGLY, Miss CHENEY and Miss Marion ONAN were swept under the hull of the steamer Jewel and were seen no more. The other three hung on to the skiff until help came. Wm. CHENEY sank twice and when brought to the shore was unconscious and may die. Miss Marion NOAN was well known in society at Henderson, Ky., and was to have been married in September.

Re: Maria Cheeney born New York, married John Taylor 1850s

tup12341 — 2007-04-24 17:34:27Z

I don't know if they ever lived in Waukesha or that area. The spelling of the name was on my grandfather's death certificate giving Maria Cheeney as his mother. It was filled out by my grandmother and perhaps she had the spelling wrong. As far as I know they married in New York ( John came from England) and then moved to Winnebago County and then to Brown County and farmed near DePere. I did have an Uncle John Taylor who lived in Milwaukee b. about 1899-1901. It is such a common name it has been hard to trace. I do know from census records that Maria was born in NY about 1834. I don't know anything else about her. Thanks for the tip. I can check out the possible Waukesha connection.

Have run into a John taylor and mairia in census of Waukesha. Don't Know if this is what you may be looking for?
I am reserching Cheaney of waukesha county, New Berlin and pewaukee TWP's. As for spelling between 1840 and 1900 This branch of family had lots of ways to spell it. I don't have a Maria in this side YET but have found couple loss members in my reserch this could be another. If I could help would be willing. rdc1941@hotmail.com

Trying to find the parents of this houseful of Chaney kids:

1850 FRANKLIN COUNTY CENSUS, taken Sept 1850, District # 2,
page 104, Household # 735.

Rhoda A., age 15, b KY

[These all appear to be siblings with no parents in the home. There was probably more siblings since there is a 9 year difference in age between the 2 oldest]]

Maria Cheeney born New York, married John Taylor 1850s

tup12341 — 2006-08-01 13:54:05Z

Would you happen to have a Maria Cheeney in your tree? I have only the info from my grandfather's death certificate which states that his mother's maiden name was Maria Cheeney. She was supposed to have been born in New York ( I don't know which county) and she married a John Taylor in th 1850's. I do not have any more info on her and I am not sure if the spelling of her name was correct on the certificate. I have not been able to find this surname any where. She would have been born around 1834. Thanks for any info you can give me.

Sarah Cheney and John Topping - Elgin United Church

dluthe — 2005-09-15 19:35:36Z

Thank you so much for the lead. I went down to Ottawa area last weekend, and I stopped off in Elgin at the Elgin United Churh. What a treasure trove of information. I found Sarah Cheney and John Topping's grave stones. There were many Toppings and Cheney's. On her grave stone, it said that she was born in 1939, but I had information from another descendant and they had information that stated she was born in 1936. I also had information that said Lydia's maiden name was Hubbard. I am not sure if Lydia is buried in Elgin also. I found a grave marker next to George Cheaney, but all I could make out was the name Lydia. I would like to get in contact with the gentleman from B.C. for additional information.

Sarah A Cheeney married John Topping 1854 Elgin, Ontario

2005-09-15 19:33:14Z

I have Sarah A Cheeney in my tree. She is my 3g grandmother. Here's all the info I have.

She married John Topping on Feb 19, 1854 in Elgin, Ontario. Her parents were Orleanus Cheeney and Lydia Hubbard. Both were born in the US. He was born between 1788 and 1808. She was born between 1803 and 1810. So far I have Sarah's siblings as Rhoda and George Washington Cheeney. George was born in 1828.

My records show that John Topping died in 1917.

With all this I think there is a match.

Look forward to hearing from you.
