A Biography of Joseph C. Bisbe and Sally Ann Morey lists among their children "Chene" Bisbe of Wattsburg, Pennsylvania. A grandson (first child of Cheney Bisbee) bore the name Alvah Chene. It is probable that subject's given name was Chene (pronounced Cheen), and that the familiar form "Cheney" (pronounced Cheeny) was used all his life. The pronunciation was provided by Gerald Hall (2004) of Wattsburg, great grandson of Cheney Bisbe, whose father and grandparents lived with "Cheney" and "Clisty", and spoke of them often. It was a family habit to add an "ee" sound to the end of many words, such as "Oneidee" for Oneida (New York) where they claimed to have lived at some point in their lives. Cheney's brother Charles moved his family to Texas in 1895. The descendants of Charles Bisbee, who still live in Eastland County, Texas, believe that Cheney's middle name was Ban. To this compiler's ear, "Ban" and "Ben" sound alike in Texas. Cheney's middle name may well have been Benjamin.
