Is there any way you could share the 1880 census ? Do you have a scanner ? My great aunt (Lullie Lewis) is married to Thurman Chesser. She's 90+ and he's older by a few years. She told me 10 yrs ago that they've been in Washington county all their lives. Her memory is mostly gone now.

Angie, a cousin just sent me the census for 1880 Washington Co. I have four Johns, only one married and her name shown as Mary. What were your children's names?
My father's father Harry Herman Bernhardt married Missouri Sarah Chesser sometime between 1921-1923, we believe somewhere in Alabama or Florida. Her death certificate shows her father's name as T.E. Chesser. He is listed in the 1932 City Directory in Baker, Florida. She had a son (my father) born in Mobile, AL on 9/11/1922. Missouri was placed in the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, GA and passed away in Feb. 1979. Her husband Harry Bernhardt passed away on June 28, 1932 and buried in Savannah, GA. Is there anyone who can give me some information on this Chesser family.
I don't think so, by the time they had children, the practice of naming after family was pretty well over. You might check the 1870 & 1880 census for Washington Co. There should be plenty of Chessers there. Good luck
Does anybody know Hosea Chesser's parent's? He was born in GA abt 1787. Maria
My line of Chesser's I know came from GA (starting with Hosea born abt 1787 in GA) - they moved and settled in TN, ARK, and maybe even Kentucky.

WOuld they be from Kentucky? I know there were many marriages between the Chessers and the hardins in Washington Co., KY in the 1800's. I have a John R. Chesser born about 1857 that I found on the 1860 census. Have you found your folks on the census? > > > ============================== > Add as many as 10 Good Years To Your Life > If you know how to reduce these risks. > http://www.thirdage.com/health/wecare/hearthealth/index.html > >
That could be him, not sure though. Would having the names of his and Mariah's children help maybe?
William Chesser b: ? in KY had a daughter Mary Jane CHESSER b: 1-7-1849. I found a William Chesser in the 1850 GreenUp Co. KY census married to a Mary Ann? Can't find them anywhere else.
