My grandmother was Mary Ruth Chesser-Stewart. I found a book entitled "Okefinokee Album" by Francis Harper and Delma E. Presley in some of my grandmother's belongings. There is an inscription on the inside written by her sister-in-law (Bernice) hoping she "enjoys reading about the Chessers." To date, I haven't gotten to this line of my family yet, but this has piqued my interest. I do not know if there is a connection or not. My great grandfather was Lloyd W. Chesser. Have you found him in any of your research? He owned a restaurant named "Lloyd's" in Shelby County, Alabama. Quite a well-known establishment. The restaurant is still open, but it was sold years ago. They still use the name though. I believe my grandmother had four brothers; Buford, W.H. - and I don't remember the other two off the top of my head. I certainly look forward to hearing from you!

Sarah DEWITT CHESSER, the widow of William CHESSER married David EBERHART in 1824 in Warren Co. OH. I need to know of a CHESHIRE/CHESSER who died between 1800 and 1805 in Hampshire Co. VA (WV after 1863) or if marriage records, taxlists, cemetery records, etc. exist. Also regarding the town of Cheshire, Ohio in Gallia Co. on the Ohio River which was sold a couple of years ago to an energy company rather than their having to settle large lawsuits with the populace. Was this where Cheshire/Chesser families might have settled or crossed into Ohio? Does anyone have information on this in a family or county history?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gYI.2ACEB/188.2.1.1.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: My Israel Chesser was born in either VA or PA (there was a part of southwestern PA that was claimed by VA at one time, I believe). He was born between 1806 and 1811, depending on which census information is correct. Israel married Elizabeth Stanley on 26 Dec 1833 in Green Co., PA. Their eldest son, John (My great-great grandfather) was born in Ohio County, WV. John was born in 1839. I believe that Greene Co is adjacent to Washington Co in PA. There could be a connection. I also know that there were McWhorters who moved on to Vinton Co, Ohio. Perhaps, my Israel is an older brother of your John.

Did a census search for John on the 1860 census. Couldn't find any matches in Virginia (since WV was still part of VA in 1860), but did find this match in PA, and it's in Washington Co., where your John Chesser was: 1860 PA, Washington Co., West Finley, pg 1041: Chesser, John, 40, tailor, PA , Eliza, 33, PA , Martha, 16, VA , Alice J., 14, VA , John, 11, VA , William, 5, VA , Amanda, 4, VA The father is about the right age, he has a son William close to the right age, William was born in VA, and they are in Washington Co., PA. I think it is more than coincidental. Especially when I find the same family in 1850 VA, Ohio Co. 1850 VA, Ohio Co., Dist. 44, 27 Aug., pg. 31b: Chesser, John, 30, tailor, PA , Eliza, 24, PA , Mary M., 5, VA , Alice J., 3, VA , Zachery T., 6 mo. There is another Chesser living in Ohio Co. in 1850. Frank Chesser, 34, b. PA, dist. 44, p.198b. Perhaps he is a brother. 1870 PA, Washington Co., West Finley, 8 July, pg. 427b: Chessor, John, 53, PA, farmer , Eliza, 45, PA , Martha, 26, VA , Alice, 22, VA , John, 18, VA , William, 16, VA , Amanda, 13, PA , Francis, 5, (male), PA In 1880, Eliza is a widow, and there are two grandchildren living with her: 1880 PA, Washington Co., West Finley, ED 268 sh 19, pg. 548 Chesser, Eliza, 53, wid., PA/PA/PA , Francis, 15, son, laborer on farm, PA , Eva, 7, gdgt., PA , Lucretia, 5, gdgt., PA There is a William Chesser, 21, listed as a servant with A.C. Cleaver, ED 267 sh 23, pg. 537c in Washington Co., PA. Seems quite a bit too young, as he was 16 in 1870, and 5 in 1860. Plus, it says he was b. in PA. I just found William V. Chessey with wife and dgts. in Triadelphia, Ohio Co., WV in 1880. ED 215, sh 36. Chessey, Wm. V., 23, farm laborer, WV/-/- , Caroline, 23, PA/PA/PA , Sylvia, 1, WV/WV/PA , Birdie Z., 2 mo., b. Apr., WV/WV/PA Clemens, Lucy, 16, sis-in-law, PA/WV/PA Looks like Sylvia was actually born in 1879, as Birdie was b. in April of 1880. I have no connection with this family- just saw an opportunity for some census searching, one of my favorite pasttimes!
