Hi Tom,
I'm sorry I can't identify John R. Runyan's family. Lydia Chinn was a child of Elijah Chinn (died 1839 Mason Co., KY) and his wife Mary Polly (Drake) 1785-1851, also died Mason Co., KY. I don't have birth or death dates for Lydia either. I am descended from Lydia's sister Penelope (Chinn) Johnson. Penelope was born in 1812.

Sorry to be so little help.

Judith

Hi Judith, I am a Runyan/Runyon researcher and for many years have tried to find where this John R Runyan m Lydia Chinn fits into the Runyan line. Would you by chance have any other data like names, locations, dates, etc that might help us in this search. Thanks for your time and any reply!
Bye for now!
