Hosea Chaney
c1830 - 1864

Hosea CHANEY;^1,2 Jesse Gerald Chaney recalls that his father, Marble Stone Chaney, mentioned Uncle "Hosie." Hosea appears in the 1860 census residing between Robert "Bob" and Hezekiah "Kye" Chaney. In this census, as well as the one for 1870, Bob's place of birth is recorded as Indiana as is the birthplace as Hosea's. Research by Jesse Gerald Chaney revealed that Hosea died of typhoid fever in a Union prison at Little Rock, Arkansas, during the Civil war.
    In the 1852 tax list for Carroll Co., Arkansas, there appears "Hosa" Chaney at Osage South in the southwest part of the county. This is the same area as John Dennis Chaney and James Chisom Chaney. It is unknown if this may be Hosea Chaney, brother of Robert, Hezekiah and Ninevah.
    Hosea and Malinda appear to in the 1860 census of Carroll Co., Arkansas, in a house adjacent to Hezekiah and Robert Chaney. That census shows Frances J. Chaney in that household with Hosea as his daughter, age 7. Malinda is reported to be 20! Descendants of Hosea and Malinda Tomlinson report that they had three sons and a daughter named Fannie by a previous marriage. After Hosea's death, Malinda moved to Madison County, Arkansas, then to Missouri, where she remarried.
    He served in the Army of the Confederate States of America.  He died of typhoid fever at the United States Prisoner of War hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas.  His name was recorded as Joseah Chaney.

One Child:

1/F Frances J. CHANEY; It is not certain that she is the daughter of Hosea and Malinda since the 1860 census records her age at seven while Malinda is shown to be twenty. This would make it unlikely that Malinda would have been her mother. It is possible that Malinda's age is recorded incorrectly or she is Hosea's second wife. Possibly, she could be relative of Hosea other than a daughter;^14,15
