KY Mary M., age 9 Thomas, age 6 John R., age 3 This family is living next door to Dorman Chesser and is believed to be a son of his. James and Martha Chesser are next door to Dorman in 1850, also. Dorman Chesher, age 48, b. KY can't r/w Dorman married Martha (Patsey) Baird (Bird) in Nelson Co., KY in 1831. Dorman is the son of Benjamin Chesser (Cheshire) who was b. between 1774 & 1784 in either VA or MD. We think Maryland. Benjamin married Elizabeth Hardin on Mar. 17, 1800 in Washington Co., KY Benjamin is believed to be the son of John Baptist Cheshire, a Rev. War soldier.

Sorry about that. My grandmother says they were from Washington Co, KY. Haven't found them yet on a census.

Angie, you don't say where your Chessers are from. 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?
