Description
The story goes like this: Seth Boynton Cheney left home when he was 16 years old to join the Gold Rush to California. His descendants, however, have had a hard time finding footprints for him during those years. For many decades his family knew only that he was a 49er, by 1880 he was in the Texas Panhandle and by 1882 in southwestern Kansas, starting a family with a woman 30 years younger than him. Where was he for those missing years, and what was he doing?This book is primarily for the descendants of Seth Cheney. It gives them a little information on Seth, and throws a spotlight on the missing years, as well as on the rest of his life. It includes twenty pages of information on the immigrant ancestor, John Cheney of Newbury, and his son Peter. They are Seth's ancestors.
