Hi, According to The Chesnutt Family book, by A. Ray Griffin, Jr. and Eloise F. Potter, Anna Celestia (Hannah) Peterson was the daughter of Stephen Peterson ("Jr.") and Martha Catherine "Kate" Vann. Hope this helps. Helen in California

jasizer@bellsouth.net writes, in part: To my surprise, I found in the 1880 Sampson County, NC census living with my husband's William E. BASS (born 31 Aug 1834, died 21 Jan 1899) and Annah Celestia [Peterson] BASS a Sarah CHESNUTT, 74, MOTHER!!!! Can anyone out there help me figure this one out? Hi again, JoAnn: I will suggest also that Sarah CHESNUTT _might_ have been the mother of Annah Celestia Peterson BASS, so searching for a PETERSON/CHESNUTT marriage, and of course, marriage of a PETERSON/CHESNUTT, for example---just to cover all bases.

Wanda, Thanks for the name of Sarah Chesnutt. I don't think this is my husband's line but will keep my eyes open for anything related to her. I don't show any Groves or Grovers in the line so far. Thanks for the response. Jo Ann I have a Sarah Ann Chesnutt "Sallie" born 1820 died 1899. Married Nov. 17, 1845 to W. David Quinn. Born 1824 in Duplin Co. N.C. and died during the Civil War in 1864. Sarahs parents were Kilbee Chesnutt of Sampson Co. N.C. and Nancy A. Robinson, also of Sampson Co. N.C. I have no dates on these two parents. This would put her age at about 60 during the 1880 census and may not be the person you are searching for. My information is from "David Quinn Family" by Ann Brooks Kendall & Glen Allen Kendall , 1997, Magnolia, N.C. W. David Quinn is my 2nd great grand uncle. I am researching the GROVES surname of Duplin County. Do you show any Groves or Grover in your line? Hope this helps.

I have been searching for the mother of William E. BASS (my husband's great grandfather) for some time now. To my surprise, I found in the 1880 Sampson County, NC census living with my husband's William E. BASS (born 31 Aug 1834, died 21 Jan 1899) and Annah Celestia [Peterson] BASS a Sarah CHESNUTT, 74, MOTHER!!!! Does anyone know anything about this Sarah CHESNUTT? Could she have been a BASS who lost her husband and remarried to a CHESNUTT - or a CHESNUTT who bore a BASS child out of wedlock? Can anyone out there help me figure this one out? Jo Ann Sizer
