I also am researching John Chestnut 1690-1750, who is my paternal line. In many trees he is shown as the son of Alexander Samuel Chestnut, which is fine. However, Alexander's wife, Mary O'Draine, is given a birthdate of 1683, which means she cannot be John's mother! Is Mary's birthdate wrong, is there another spouse of Alexander, or is John's birthdate wrong? Any insight into this, cousin?
