Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I suggest the only thing to do to make sure of the pension and the service is to
send to the Nat'l Archives in D C.

Pam there were C'nuts in Camden, Kershaw, Fairfield and Horry Counties,
(SC). Mine originated out of NC into Horry County, SC, Houston County,
Ga. Then they went to Jefferson County, Fl. There was some that went to
Ala but they did not stay. They wound up back in Fl.
Good luck. They say Smith and Jones names are plentiful. They forgot all
the C'nuts somewhere along the line.

Hello Uncle James and Aunt Doris,
Thank you for going to see Arnold. I know it's not easy to travel so
much these days for you. I'm sure it brightened his day. They
started therapy Monday. He is progressing a bit. The doctor
seems to think he can have him up and walking before long. This is
a must because Frances cannot lift him on her own. It's going to be
a slow go of it I'm sure. I pray for warm weather and hopefully he
won't dread getting out as much. I believe it is imperative for him to
get up everyday and get some sort of exercise.
Getting on to the geneology stuff. The 1840 agricultural census
was viewed in the special collections library on the UA campus.
This was interesting because we did not know exactly when he
appeared in Alabama. That puts him here at least then. I do
believe he is from SC and not NC and that his true name is William
H. and not Walker H. because of his Will and it appears on the
1850 Alabama Federal census and the agricultural census. I have
never found any link to any of the other chesnutt's in the rootsweb
group. I get frustrated and so I stop for awhile. If we just could
know the district in SC he resided, that would open up all sorts of
information, I'm sure. I keep hoping anyway. If you should show up
anything, keep me posted.

Pam:
Thanks for your reply to my effort to find out something further about the
Chesnutt family genealogy. I know you and Larry have been working. What do
you think is the best way to find out where William H. (Walker H) or whatever
his name is came from to Alabama. The two census's of 1860 and 1880 have
conflicting data as to place of birth. I am not familiar with the 1840
Agricultural census and that would indicate he was in Alabama before that
date. Where did you find the 1840 Ag census?
I really believe that the place of origin is probably SC or NC and that names
have been changed or some differences exist or some of our Internet friends
would have found a link by now.
Doris and I went to see Arnold yesterday and he seems to be doing fair. His
"gout" is most severe and we have learned from other health care givers that
indeed gout can get all over the body and is a form of arthritis. Doris
thinks it contributed to if not caused the death of her Father in 1969. They
could not treat gout and other ailments at the same time as the medications
clashed.
Hope you and your family are doing well.
Love
James
P.S. One reason I continue to put out the "Walker H." 1860 census is that I
see the name Walker often in other EMails to Rootsweb (Don Chesnut's)
website. Also there is a past legend that our GGgrandfather was a postman
and something happened to the mail and he walked all the way to either
Montgomery or fWashington to get it corrected. He alledgely was walking
along and caught up with a man riding a horse, walked along with him for
awhile and then bid him goodbye and walked off faster than the horse. Quite
a story to say the least but would give some basis for his nickname
being"Walker". However my census report of 1880 is the first indication he
was a Postmaster. Puzzling little kettle of fish we have here. Also I do
remember that the deeds someone gave Arnold a copy of did have William. And
I have been told in a genealogy class I took at UAB shortly after I retired
in 1990 that the Census reports are only as accurate as the Census taker who
might just fill out his report from a neighbor.
We'll just have to keep on trying. What do you think or did you get an
announcement about a book on Chesnutt's in two counties of NC and SC to be
published this Fall by A. Ray Griffin and associates. I have a feeling that
our branch of Chesnutt's came from that area. I have written to Ray Griffin
that I want to know about the book, cost, etc. I haven't heard from him yet.
Uncle James, please note that I think the name "Walker" was not his
name. All other documents, including copy of his probated will are
"William" H. Chesnutt. Even on the 1850 Federal census of
Alabama and the agricultural census of 1840.

Hello to Ray Griffin:
I am definitely interested in the book to be published soon about Chesnutt's
of every spelling in the Fall. Please put me on the list for a copy and
information about the cost, etc. I am looking specifically for any
Chesnutt's or of any spelling about Walker H. Chesnut listed in the US Census
of 1860 as listed in Tuscaloosa County Alabama, Western Division, 30 & 31
August l860, page 128 as follows:
CHESNUT
Walker H. 45 M farmer born is SC (My ggreat grandfather
Mary E (wife) 41 F born in TN
Maranda 21 F born in TN
Alonzo A. 8 M born in AL (My grand father)
Elvira H 7 F born in AL
Mary F 3 F born in AL
Margaret 6/12 F born in AL
The 1880 Federal Census of Tuscaloosa County, Alabama (Beat 7) lists the
same family as follows
CHESTNUTT, W. H. w m 65 M Postmaster born in NC, Unknown
M. E. w f 60 M wife AL, GA and a blank space
Elizabeth w f 25 S AL GA and a blank space
Lula w f 20 dau AL AL blank space
CHESTNUTT, Auther w m 27 M farmer AL NC and blank space. ( I am
guessing that this is supposed to be my grandfather as listed in 1860 census
Alonzo A) The ages correspond and also Henry J. would be my Father's
brother. My Father was born in 1887.
Mary w f 22 M wife AL GA and blank space
Henry J. w m 2 S son AL AL and blank space.
Does anyone know anything about this branch of the Chesnutt(spelled this way
currently) Clan? I remember somewhere hearing my dad scolded for spelling
the name Chestnut as most people insist when not corrected!
Thanks for any help given.

Below is a message I recieved in response to the message I sent her about Ada Sandlin that was given to me on this mailing list. I was wondering if there are any Chesnut's on here that would know if an ancestor of thiers had an affair with Eva Thompson while her husband Jay Sandlin was off in the military. Eva Thompson and this Chestnut are supposedly the parents of Ada Sandlin. Also maybe we could find out for sure by checking the divorces around 1919-1925 of Eva Thompson and Jay Sandlin.

<<<All I know is while "Sandlin" was away in the military, my great grandmother
got pregnant with Ada by a man named "Chestnut". Hope this helps. It was hush
hush in our family for years apparently. >>>
OK, now I'll take any Chesnut combo in PA. Not 1 Armstrong County out there?
