I would like to put to bed that Edith Chesley was a daughter of James Dewitt Chesley and the Orphan he adopted Rose Prouty. James Dewitt Chesley did adopt Edith Chesley, but I feel he was not the father.
It states in 1910 census that James D. Chesley had been married 26 years to Abigail French, at the time of the census being taken May 19, 1910. There is a female in her and James Chesley's household in 1910 called Edith Chesley and it states she is a adopted daughter of James D. Chesley. Edith is 9 years old and she was born in Iowa and mother born in Indiana and father born in Minnesota or it could be written as unknown, but not sure hard to read where the father was born.
Also there is another female in the household in 1910, Rosa Prouty, called a Servant. Rosa Prouty is the natural mother of Edith Chesley. Rosa Bella Prouty and George Dumcrager probably were not legally married but had an illegitimate daughter Edith who was adopted my James Dewitt Chesley and Abigail Chesley. In the 1910 census it shows that Rosa Prouty was born about 1880 in Missouri. This is wrong she was born May 129 1879 in Noble Co., Indiana.
The Clay County Recorder's Office in Spencer, Clay County, Iowa has birth records on the birth of Edith Chesley (birth records show her name as Edith Chesley, born June 15, 1901 In Clay Township, Mother Rosie Prouty, Father George Dumcrager. Her burial stone shows Eda A. Rausch 1901-1941. Fred Rausch was her second husband.

Karen and Barb,
After much research into the Sepratists of the early 1600's and the Mayflower etc., I am sure our line will go back to Philip in England. I truly believe they went to Holland and rather than go to America, stayed and became "Holandized" even to changing the name to a Dutch spelling. At this time I really have no idea just how to go about getting any info on all the Sepratists that left England for Holland. Just how Pieter got to France I'm not sure yet but.....

Karen,
Did Linda help you on your branch of the CHESLEY' FAMILY?
Still finding out about more of the family and now I believe there may be three different branches here in the US. Linda's in NY, Our Philip in NH, and a Philip in Md. Don't know if they will ever join into one line.Do hope that we all find out the answer to that.
A Chesley in Fl.

I know that Paul was the father of Mary Abbie Chesley Studley and that her birth was abt 10 Jul 1828 in Madbury, New Hampshire and that she died 10 Sep 1856 of childbed fever in Newton, Middlesex, Massachusetts. All this information is on her death certificate. I have not been able to connect this information to any of the Chesley families in Madbury. I hope someone can help. This is one of my brick walls.

Does anyone know the parents of a John Chesley (1805-1867) who was married to Lavinia/Lovina Chamberlain (1808-1882)? Census records show him living in Rochester, NH between 1830 and 1860. He, his wife, and several descendants are buried in Gonic Village Cemetery.
Shadrach Chesley and family are also buried in the same cemetery. Shadrach was the right age to be John's father but I haven't found any evidence of how John and Shadrach are related.
I've got one set of cousins who are descended from John and another set who are cousins of Shadrach's wife, Jemima Ham, so it would be neat if Shadrach & Jemima were John's parents.
