Thanks for what I consider confirmation. For some reason, I didn't have the admin. accts. of John Chesley dated 5/9/1768 in which he's named NOK of John Chesley. Also, Richard Pile didn't marry Elizabeth Greenfield, daughter of Truman Greenfield and Elizabeth Parker as she married first, John Cartwright and second, John Hammett. This takes us full circle and back to the admin. accts. of George Greenfield, 1/2 brother of Elizabeth Chesley and full brother of Elizabeth Greenfield. 11/7/1751: Admin. accts. of George Greenfield, SMC. Sureties: Baptist Barber, John Burroughs.
