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.

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

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.
