note: I believe that this John who was married to Mary Ann and Martha was the John who was son of Enoch and Elizabeth Margaret Williams. In 1850 he is living next door to Enoch, his brother.

Research Notes:
I think the John (I 05040) who married Mary Ann and Martha is the child of Enoch and Elizabeth Margaret Williams rather than is found to be the first born of Abraham and Elizabeth Chaney. The John who was 1st born of Abraham and Elizabeth Chaney I believe was married to Elizabeth Horton. 1850 census shows John and Mary Ann living next door to Enoch, Jr.
However the other John (I 05003) who married Elizabeth Margaret Williams is living within three residences of Alexander, another son of Enoch Sr.

update 4/28/2015: DNA kinship to Maria Allen Shaw, 3rd-5th cousin, to me and Glen indicates John is indeed son of Abraham and Elizabeth Chaney as that calculates to 5th cousin. If he were son of Enoch Jr, kinship is quite a bit more distant. So, assuming concluding until further study that John who married Elizabeth Horton is son of Enoch Sr.

Abraham Randles was born December 25, 1792 in Loudon County, Virginia. He was the son of Martha & Jonas (James) Randles. Will for Martha Randles is probated April 1838 in Coshocton County.

Abraham married Elizabeth (Chaney) in 1813. Abraham & Elizabeth Randles moved to N.E. quarter of Sec. 5 Township No. 5 (now Roscoe) Coshocton County on December 9, 1816 from Harrison County, Ohio. Official Land Record. The 1881 History states that the nearest neighbors were 8 miles away. This property was on the old Mount Vernon Road which is Jackson County Road 55. In one of the recent books about Roscoe, on page 17, he is named as the pioneer. Abraham afterwards removed to the Killbuck, in the northern part of the county, where he died.

Abraham J.Randles was married to Elizabeth (Chaney) in 1813.They were pioneers in what is presently Roscoe in Coshocton County, Ohio. Salem Cemetery was once entirely in Coshocton County, and now is in both Coshocton & Holmes Counties.This cemetery is situated on the land that once belonged to Noah ( the son of Abraham Sr.)Directions: in Clark, Ohio, take County Road 19 (at light just before gas station, there is only one light in this tiny town) turn right at second road on the right (Twp. Rd. 129) cemetery is about a mile on the right side.
This tombstone was vandalized probably on November 28,1998. The article appears in The Holmes County Hub, (Millersburg, Ohio newspaper) front page on Thursday, December 10, 1998 along with a history of this Cemetery. As of October 2006, the tombstone still has not been repaired and is on the ground! Revolutionary War soldier, John Gwinn,who was the grandfather of Benjamin Caster is buried here
Abraham's age (on the stone)is 64 years 9 months 7 days of age. His daughter, Sarah, who married Benjamin Caster is also buried several rows away here.

The children of Elizabeth (Chaney) and Abraham Randles Sr, are listed on Randles Station.com. Some of whom I have not yet found the gravesites of. I have found no evidence that Abraham was married twice.

From: ( LJLuke@postoffice.worldnet.att.net (Robert Luke) - Lisa )
1771 Shelburne Parish Tithable List - Jonas Randles and Wm. Dillion were credited with ten wolves' scalps.
from Richard Skinner: "James" and Martha Randles, came with their children from Loudoun County, Virginia, and settled in Jackson Township, Coshocton County in 1817.

Residence:
shown making a purchase at Anne Foster's sale in 1817 in
1823, shown selling off small pieces of land
Coshocton. Is on personal property lists for the county until 1835. Martha is listed in 1835.


Census:
Jonas age 80-90
Martha 50-60
1 male 15-20
2 female 20-30.

Jonas married Martha* Stewart about 1791. Martha* was born in 1773 in Hamilton, Cumberland Co, Virginia; died on 27 Nov 1837 in Jackson Twp, Coshocton Co, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: Nov 1837, Coshocton Co, Ohio; written

Notes:

Nov. 27, 1837 Martha Randles wrote her will: "In the Name of God, Amen,
April 30, 1838 Will filed in Coshocton Co. Ohio

Will:
In Coshcoton County, Ohio a will for Martha Randles, dated Nov 1837 and probated Apr 1838, named her sons Enoch and John Randles as executors. Martha left one dollar to each of "my children", Abraham, Enoch, Isaac, Hannah (Randles) Foster, Axa (Randles) Foster, and Rachel (Randles) Williams. The rest of her estate went to "my younger children" John Randles, Polly (Mary) Randles and Sally (Sarah) Randles. Apparently this Martha is the mother of the four brothers mentioned in the 1831 history (i.e. Abraham,Enoch, Isaac, and John)
(History of Randles in Coshocton, Ohio)

Other Events and Attributes:

• Immigration: Abt 1775, Pennsylvania (possibly)
• Other-Begin: 2 Mar 1779, Washington Co, Pennsylvania (formerly Baltimore Co, Maryland)

Notes:

He married Sarah (Mansfield) on November 29, 1787 in Baltimore County, Maryland. A part of Maryland is now Washington County, Pa. The couple came to Harrison County in 1805.
According to the Harrison Co. History, written in the 1880's, Nathan had told that his parents came to America at the beginning of the French and Indian War. (1756-1763)

Note: if this is true, then he is not the son of Richard and Mary Gassaway as many people have him since Richard was not an immigrant, nor was his parents, Charles Cheney Jr & Mary Powell. Internet records are not consistent. Until something comes up more authenticated, I tend to think Nathan might be a dead-end. His marriage record shows him born about 1760; meaning he was possibly also an immigrant.

The Chaneys are rumored to have been Native American and if they were in Jackson Township in 1805, this would be so, as that's the only population there! Interesting fact: Near that time Coshocton was known as the Delaware Indian Capitol of United States.
The Chaney family often traveled back and forth between Harrison County and Coshocton County, as did the Randles & Fivecoat families.
On June 9, 2009, Larry Dean, his wife Sheila and myself proceeded to find the tombstone of Mary. Although, I had found the stone and subsequently the obituary many years previous, I could not find it again. With great joy, Larry spotted it. Mary is his gr gr gr grandmother. We both took a picture of the tombstone. It is very weathered and we could not make out the day she was born!
The will of Issac Randles, Mary's husband, was probated April 4, 1842 in Coshocton County, Ohio.
The named children are:
Nathan
Thomas
Issac
