Where are your Chesnuts from? and Where were they when you found them?
Do you have any dates, or places of marriages, deaths or births for
them?
These questions will help us help you.

Apparently there was a black Chesnut family in Laurel County, KY. Does
anybody know whatever became of them; there are no black Chesnuts there now.
Perhaps the James listed below was the last. The Mountain Echo was a
newspaper serving the Laurel County area.
