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
Don't know how, but I got Tim's Tree. Will forward, maybe it will reach the
rest of the list. Please more Chester post their trees so we can see if
there are any connections!!!Thanks Evelyn

I am seeking info about a tall, handsome,blue eyed, red headed man who
rescued a tiny widow and reared her kids as his own. J.O.( initials only. AKA
Bud) CHESTER probably was born in Louisiana in Nov. 1867, but reared in
either Ind.Terr or Texas.
Katie Leona BAMFORD married John Wesley AUSTIN. In Jan of 1900 she found
herself pregnant with two small children burying her husband in Fort Smith
Arkansas.
She started cooking and taking in sewing on ranches to support her
children. One day she met an unusual man who was building houses on the
ranch where she worked. He was unusual because he did not ride horses, but
did train them. He also had a love of books and reading.
In a very short time they joined into a marriage that lasted until her
death in 1956.
They lived in Indian Territory, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Their childrens names were Eddie, John Felix, and Mae AUSTIN and Thomas
Arthur (aka Rocky or Red) and Nina Ruth.
They never visited family nor did family visit them. So, I figure out there
somewhere is a researcher who has a CHESTER who had a brother, J.O.(Bud) who
seeningly dropped off the west or east Texas earth. If that is you, I sure
would like to hear from you. Thanks, Leona
Am searching for information about Robert Johnston CHESTER, born 3 Jan
1739 in County Limerick. This was according to a history book in PA.
Robert J. lived in Cumberland & York Cos., Pennsylvania, md. Elizabeth
PATTERSON & had four children: Dr.Wm. Patterson CHESTER, John Kennedy
CHESTER, Richard, and Mary CHESTER. He probably came to the U.S. between
1740 & 1770. He might have had a brother, John, born abt 1745, who
married Mary BIRDWELL, and lived in Washington & Sullivan Cos.,TN. Any
help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Renee
