Jerry, 

I'm new to this list and interested in what you may know about Dr. Jermiah 
Duval who left Maryland about 1785 for land in Pennsylvania and the people he 
took with him mainly the Chaney's.  

Dr. Duval settled in an area of Pennsylvania that in 1834 became Broad Top, 
Bedford Co., Pa. My 2nd great maternal grandfather, John L. Chaney, was 
born there 1827 and died Dec 8, 1898 Tidal, Armstrong Co., Pa. He married 
Sophrona A. Myers Aug 19, 1855 we think in Armstrong Co., Pa.  John's father 
was Richard Chaney born abt. 1796 Pa. and died after the 1830 census but 
before the 1840 census.  John's mother was Rebecca who is listed in the 1840 
census as living in Broad Top, Pa.  I've been unable to learn the names of 
Richard Chaney's parents or Rebecca's maiden name.  I have the names of 
Richard and Rebecca's other children, if you are interested.  

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Lona Laughlin Boudreaux
