Message Board Post:
I would appreciate any help trying to clarify a child. Any information about the parents of Nathaniel Chesley, b. September 23, 1806 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont, d. February 8, 1878 in Fort Dodge, Webster Co., Iowa, m. Phebe Parish, abt. 1830 in Stafford, Genessee Co., New York. Controversy exists over whether Nathaniel is the youngest of 11 children of parents Nathaniel Chesley and Hannah Murray. Or are his parents Thomas Chesley and Hannah Sanborn? Thomas and Hannah were married 1804. However, Thomas is listed as Nathaniel's brother. Thomas was born 1782. There is a huge gap in births of Nathaniels listed 10 older siblings, being 14 years from #10 child and#11 child Nathaniel,who was born in 1806. However Thomas was born in 1782 and married in 1804. It would seem that Nathaniel married to Phebe Parish and born in 1806 could be Thomas and Hannah Sanborn's rather then Nathaniel Chelsey and Hannah Murray's son. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Janet
