Looking to make contact with anyone that has a "female"
Chesley that married an unknown Hughes around 1770-1778.
This marriage would probably have taken place in Laurens Co.SC. or in a neighboring counties at that time.

This is a very late reply to your query of Nov. 2001 about Chesley family. My Great Grandmother was a Place. Her Great Grandfather married Nancy, the daughter of Jonathan Chesley of Dover (1736-1826). He was one of 16 men who captured the British Fort William & Mary, Dec. 15, 1774 at Newcastle, NH. I believe he was also a veteran of the French & Indian War.
My mother's lines include Eastman, Parker, Place, Chesley, Maxfield, French and Smith. All were from Dover, Nottingham, Chichester, Deerfield, Pittsfield, Barnstead, Rochester NH.

Captain Jonathan Chesley, (born in Durham, New Hampshire, 1736, died in Barnstead, New Hampshire, 1826) was one of 16 men who captured the British Fort William & Mary at Newcastle, NH., Dec. 15, 1774, five months before Concord/Lexington. They have been called "the Heros of William & Mary". He was one of a handfull of men who took the Fort's powder by boat to Durham. Legend has it that some of that powder made it to the Battle of Bunker Hill. His grave is in Barnstead, marked by the DAR.

Besides the surname Chesley, it shows up very predominatly
as a first or given name in the late 1700s to well into the 1800s. Can anyone tell me if there was a high ranking military person during the Rev. War or other historical event that would have inspired the sudden naming of children with the given name of Chesley? ie, Chesley Hughes, Chesley Brown etc.
