I have Janet Chesser b.1777 London, d.1859 London, m.29.3.1806 to Alexander Hill, baker , London. There is a query about her name. She may have been formerly Baraby or somehow connected to Baraby. Very few records on either name and I have no other Chesser info. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rhonda Bell" <rhondabell@gmail.com> To: <chesser@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 3:28 PM Subject: Re: [CHESSER] George Thomas CHESSER = Agnes STARLING >I do not descend from this line, but I was doing some checking of records >at > Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org, and may have some hints for you. > > I found George and Agnes on the 1900 census, in Dunnellon, Marion Co., > Florida.
