Sherri, I don't have anything on Wiliam Nathan Chester, but do have some
Chesters-- and we are so hrd to find, I'm adding your name to my chester list
and hope you will d mine to yours for any infomation you get.
My grandmother was Anna Elizabeth Chester (b15-9-1769) who married Albert Sidney
Hall. Her dad was Solomon Jackson Chester (b 3-5-1837 in Gibson Co. Tn.) His
dad was Henry W. Chester (b abt 1803 in NC-d 17-7-1879 in NC) After him, I'm
not sure but his dad may have been John Chester( b abt 1774-d 1848. )
Anna Elixzabeth's moher was Sarah F. Yates Moore. She, son-in-law Albert
Sidney, his wife, and their daughter, Annnita Bea Hall, are buried in
Jacksonville, Tx,City cemetery.
I hope you will keep this informationa nd I will keep yours, and perhaps we'll
run into into each others' cousins. bette

I have aa H. W. Chester b abt 1803 in NC who is my ggggrandfather, He was
married to Elizabeth Terrell b abt 1806. His son was Solomon Chester who was my
gggrandfather. I thinh a John L. Chester, b abt 1774 was HW's father, but I
dont know. Have read about an well known INN, Chester House, to which they may
have had some connection. I know there is a Chester County in G - but no
data. Read that a Chester street in Jacksonville, Texas, where Solomon Chester
& wife, Elizabeth, were located a while. Believe they were in area of
Nacagdochees, and also Jacksonville.
Anxious to find older Chesters. Am told some Chester graves were lost when a
highway ws built over on of the Terrell Cemeterys n Weakley County, TN. H e l
p with my Chesters. Bette

Dear Renee, I don't have information about the John chester you mention but am
desperately seeking connection from
my Solomon J. Chester,b 3 May 1837 in Gibson County, TN, who m Sarah F Moore who
was born 8 March l841 in TN and died 14 July l929 Solomon's dad was of Henry.
W. Chester b about 1803 in N. C. in Gibson Co, TN, married Elizabeth Terrel
I whow Henry's dad as John Chester, born abt 1774, d abt 1848, but have no proof
or referene of any kind.
I do know Solomon J was in Confederate Army and applied for and received a
pension.
I have read of the John who owned the Chester house, and if you don't have
informtion aabout him, let me know. I will send it. Can't seem to connect it
with ine. Will start looking for the folks you mention too. Let's keep in touch.
