      History of Roane County, Bishop
      Hiram and Elvira Chancey, young husband and wife, settled on Middle Fork of Reedy about the year 1820. Died, she about 1854, he 1858.
      From recollections or remarks made by their children, they came from New England or Pennsylvania by way of Marietta and Ravenswood on the Ohio river.
      He was a steadfast Wesleyan in religious notions and a preacher of that creed.
      They came with a title or at once acquired a title to a tract of three or four hundred acres of forest land adjoining Willis Burdette and William Roache's lands on the Middle Fork of Reedy; they visited and kept up acquaintance with people of Ravenswood and upper Mill Creek countried of Jackson County. He was a man of an education a little better than the average pioneer, and was influential there for forty years.
      [It goes on to list children and their families. There are obvious errors, including the dates of death. Was his wife Elvira or Isabella? They had a daughter named Elvira but census shows the wife was Isaballa]
