BRINKLEY CHANCEY, retired merchant, Blakely, Early Co., Ga., son of Solomon 
Chancey, was born in Jones county, Ga., May 29, 1820. His father was a farmer 
and died in 1861. Mr. Chancey was educated in the common schools of the county 
and was reared on the farm, but later in life engaged in merchandising. During 
the war he was a member and sergeant of Company C, Twenty-ninth battalion, 
Georgia artillery. He moved to Blakely in 1861, where he conducted a general 
merchandise store until 1886, when he retired. He was tax collector of Early 
county in 1862-63-64, and assessor two years. He was elected to represent the 
county in the general assembly in 1872 and has served in this capacity four 
terms, the last ending in 1886. He was also a member of the constitutional 
convention in 1877. Being honored by election to such responsible positions 
shows an appreciation of his capacity and integrity. Mr. Chancey was married 
Jan. 12, 1851, to Miss Narcissus, daughter of R. W. Sheffield, who once 
represented Early county in the general assembly. They have had five children: 
B. E., born in 1853; Quitman, born in 1855; James B., born in 1857, county 
ordinary; John C., born in 1859, marshal of Blakeley, and Hattie D., widow of 
John W. Deal. Mr. Chancey is an uncompromising democrat and a master Mason.
