Notes for MARY POLLY VICKROY: Ancestry.com Message Board Posts: Mary Vickroy d/o William Vickroy married to Thomas Cheney or David Wallen? - HELP!! shaslam100(View posts) Posted: 6 Jun 2008 7:53PM Classification: Query Surnames: Vickroy I am again perplexed by confusing information and would appreciate any help from anyone who can shed any light on the subject. Here is what I know (or think I know): I have a notice that was posted in the Democratic Inquirer in Bedford County, PA on October 15, 1824 which states the following: "David Wallen of Cumberland, Md., and Mary, daughter of William Vickroy, Cumberland Valley Twp., were married by Rev. Zigler." I attributed this notice to Mary (aka Polly) Vickroy daughter of William Vickroy b. 1768 in Maryland. I recently came across the following record listed in the Bedford Gazette on June 28, 1833: "Married on Thursday, the 13th inst., by George McCoy, Esq. Thomas H. Cheney, Merchant, to Miss Mary Vickroy, all of this county." A similar notice appeared in the Democratic Inquirer on June 27, 1833. In an attempt to figure out WHICH Mary Vickroy this 2nd notice might belong to, I started to search ancestry.com...and it appears that the Mary Vickroy that I attributed the first notice to, showing the marriage between Mary Vickroy and David Whalen...is also the Mary that is shown as being married to this Thomas Cheney. Thus my confusion!! Is there anyone who can clear up the discrepancy? Does anyone know WHICH Mary Vickroy married Thomas Cheney? Or did the same Mary marry both men? Thank you for any help!! Re: Mary Vickroy d/o William Vickroy married to Thomas Cheney or David Wallen? - HELP!!New photogskh(View posts) Posted: 12 Jun 2008 1:20AM Classification: Query Surnames: Vickroy, Chaney, Cessna Hi, I have Mary "Polly" Vickroy [d/o William & Elizabeth (Cessna) Vickroy] as being married to Thomas H. Chaney. I cannot say if she was at one time married to David Wallen, but in 1824 she would have only been about 16 years old (possible, but who knows). In her father's will written in 1850 & probated in 1851, she is listed as Polly Chaney. Perhaps the parents had the first marriage annulled(?sp)? In checking census for the era, I find her as Chaney/Cheney in nearly all from 1850 to 1880. However, in many she is listed by herself...where was Thomas (maybe out of town)? In 1880, he & she are both listed together in the census & he lists his occupation as "teacher-retired". Here are the 2 clippings I have for their marriage: Democratic Enquirer newspaper, June 27, 1833: "Thomas M. Cheny, merchant, and Miss Vickroy were married on Thursday, June 13, 1833 by George McCoy, Esq.; all are of Bedford Co."

Bedford Gazette, June 28, 1833: "Married on Thursday, the 13th inst., by George McCoy, Esq. Thomas H. Cheney, Merchant, to Miss Mary Vickroy, all of this county."

I could find NO David Wallen in PA at all in the census during the same eras...wish I could have been of more help. I will check with my Vickroy research group & see if they have any answers. Sincerely, Sally Huntley Re: Mary Vickroy d/o William Vickroy married to Thomas Cheney or David Wallen? - HELP!!New shaslam100(View posts) Posted: 12 Jun 2008 2:27PM Classification: Query Surnames: Vickroy Dear Sally, Thank you for the information...I am most grateful. I, too, have looked at all of the census records and cannot find Mr. Wallen. I always try to verify records before I put them in my tree because there is so much wrong information out there that I want to try to stop perpetuating the wrong information. Since I know you have the best information on the Vickroy family...and you cannot connect Mr. Wallen to this particular Mary Vickroy...I am going to leave him out...If it later appears that he was a first husband...then I will put him back in. Again, thank you for all of your help. Susan
