Mike, My on-line database doesn't reflect this information. I need to update it again. (grin) Have you ever looked at the microfilm to see who was the son called "Chesley" willed Negro Bob in the abstract of John Chesley's will? According to the abstract of John's 3 Dec 1768 accounting, Benjamin actually received Negro Bob. According to the abstract of George's 7 Nov 1751 accounting, Benjamin was age 14. Benjamin was a son of a different wife than the wife Elizabeth in John's will, as he isn't listed as being of John's "six children by my present wife, named John, James, Elizbeth, Mary, Alexander and Rebecca". I don't think George Greenfield's accounting is saying that Elizabeth Pile was his sister-in-law. I think it is saying that she was his half-sister by his mother, i.e. they had the same mother, not father; as did George Greenfield and Benjamin Chesley. I think the Elizabeth who was John's wife when he died was a different Elizabeth than Elizabeth Parker. I looked at the possibility that John Chesley had two daughters "Elizabeth" and therefore two wives "Elizabeth" (or vice versa), and determined that there could have been two of each. I think that I determined that because of the various relationship statements in the docs, there would have had to be two of each for there to be two of either. One wife (Elizabeth Parker) would be the mother of the Greenfield children, Benjamin Chesley, and Elizabeth (Chesley) Pile. She would most likely have been dead by the 9 Nov 1756 will of her mother, Susanna Parrott. The other would be the mother of the "six children by my present wife". Concerning Elizabeth Chesley's Pile husband, while there was an abstract for a "James Bile" who died in Charles County before his 6 Dec 1698 inventory, I still think John Chesley's NOK Richard "Bile" was most likely Elizabeth's husband. I would need to look at the original microfilm of John's inventory to decide, and I can't do that anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike marshall" <mrmarsha2004@yahoo.com> To: <mdstmary@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 7:46 PM Subject: [MDSTMARY] Elizabeth Pile d/o John Chesley Truman Greenfield's (d1726) wife Elizabeth Parker remarried John Chesley.
