Notes for GEORGE CHEWNING:
Tiffany Luchetta has......... George Chewning born about 1734, married Jane Durrett. Lived in Louisa County, Virginia. George was a son of William W. Chowning/Chewning and Janetta/Jeanette Chewning first of Middlesex County, Virginia. The wills of Caroline County, VA for that time period did not survive. But if you look at land tax records it shows when Janette died her 400 acres of her estate was divided, 300 acres accounted for. I do not know where the other 100 acres went. 100 acres went to her son Joseph of Lousia County, 100 acres went to the heirs of George Chewning and 100 acres to the heirs of John Chewning. Johns heirs kept their 100 acres past 1799. Joseph sold to Erasmus Allen, George Chewnings heirs sold to John Hackney. Hackney sold to Erasmus Allen. So he ended up with 200 acres. John Chewning died prior to 1789. The tax list shows Samuel Burrus as charged with 2 male taxes for John Chewning.Will Book 5, Page 81 Louisa County, Virginia.

10-18-1926 Harley E Tuning , gct Greenleaf MM, Idaho (Record from Nebraska Yearly Meeting, Spring Friends Church, Allen, NE)1930 Census: Greenleaf, Canyon Co., ID
Harley Edward Tuning, son of John and Martha Pressnall Tuning, was born April 6, 1897, at Allen Nebraska.
He was called to his Eternal home, October 18, 1964, having lived 67 years, 6 months,
and 12 days.
He moved to Idaho in 1920, and was united in marriage to Glenna Dines at Greenleaf, October 28, 1923.
Harley attended the Bible seminary of Greenleaf Academy two years, and continued his Bible studies at Pacific
Bible Institute, Portland, Oregon during the year of 1927. Harley and Glenna returned to Greenleaf to enter the
employment of Boise Project Board of Control; and continued this occupation for 37 years - until his final
illness forced retirement.
Those who live to cherish the memories of his life are; Glenna, his companion of the home in Greenleaf; two
sons, Gerald, of Hermiston, Oregon; Delbert, of Star, Idaho; and a daughter, Mrs. Sylvia Littlefield of Tigard,
Oregon. There are three grandsons and three granddaughters. There are five brothers; Walter and Jess of
Caldwell; Evert, of Sprague River, Oregon; Theo, of Meadows, Idaho and Raymond of Kamiah, Idaho; three
sisters; Mrs. Olive Piersall of Caldwell, Idaho; Mrs. Viola Fleming of Lancaster, California; and Mrs. Bethel
Cronrath of Nampa, Idaho. With these are other relatives and many friends.
Harley was an associate member of the Friends Church by birth, and chose to become an active member
after accepting Christ as his Saviour, and has been a member of the Greenleaf Church since moving to Idaho. He
confided to his pastor that a new, deep consecration to his Lord in 1950 resulted in a more vital and fruitful
Christian experience. His strong faith in god's promises and his earnest, fervent prayer life --both in the Church
and in his daily walks along the fields and canals, and the roads and lanes of Greenleaf community -- have not
only molded his Christian character, but also brought many deliverances from afflictions and trials of life. One
of his sisters paid tribute to his life as it is expressed in Isaiah 41, verse 6. "They helped everyone his neighbor
and everyone said to his brother, be of good courage."
Even in his last illness he continued to witness to his deep concern for the spiritual growth of the church, his
heart yearning to see neighbors and loved ones accept Christ, and of his love for the many Christian friends
whose encouragement meant so much to him. Because of this, he and his companion requested that instead of
floral gifts there would be memorial donations to Greenleaf Friends Academy and to the American Cancer
Society.
