RESEARCH NOTES:
The information that exists for Louis Chainé, also known as Luis or Lewis and with various last surname spellings such as Chéné, Chainey, Shiney is fairly reliable from his discovery in Vermont until his death in the Dakota Territory.
However the one important missing link is documentational proof that he is a child of Augustin Chéné and Catherine Desmarais (Desmarets). Record of his birth/baptism cannot be found though it is assumed that he was born in the area of Marieville, QC, Canada, where his other siblings were born.
Extensive research provided by Pamela Stone has established with the aid of US Census Returns and other documents that Lewis was in many places almost at the same time as his siblings, Augustus and Frank. A paper trail provided by her indicates that the 3 brothers, Lewis, Augustus and Frank travelled from Vermont to Wisconson to Iowa to The Dakotas and also to Kansas.
Following their trail is a complex adventure in the act deciphering of surnames as well as given names. However the combination of documents below provide a very strong suspicion that Lewis Shiney was a child of Augustin Chéné and Catherine Desmarais. Here, as best as I can present the information, I have provided a paper trail, with links to actual documents found on Ancestry.com for Lewis Shiney and his two siblings who seemed to have travelled pretty close to one another:
