Charles W. Chesnut was listed in Stewart Co. Ga in 1840. Might have come from SC. Born 1808 died 1891. Married Martha Jones. Born 1812. Died 1889. Would appriciate any info on this line of Chesnuts.
Friends, I have transcribed a family group sheet compiled by my paternal aunt ca. 1965. It concerns the descendents of Jane Chestnut b. 1770 in Antrim Co., Ireland, who married William McQuiston and came to Fairfield Co., SC, where William subsequently died ca. 1800. These McQuistons traveled to Preble Co., OH ca. 1829 and founded Hopewell Church with other families who had come over on the same boat. I do not have my aunts sources, but her sheet contains several generations and lots of birth dates, marriage dates etc. which have so far meshed well with other research. I have Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word versions available for any who want them. Email me at writefocus(a)att.net to request a copy.

Hi,
My name is Ray Griffin and I am also a Chesnutt descendant of Alexander
Chesnutt of IOW, VA. Eloise Potter and I are working on a comprehensive
genealogy of Alexander's descendants that moved to southeastern NC during
the mid-1750s. The book should be sent to the publisher within the year.
Please provide me with a little more information about your Samuel Chesnutt.
Where was he from, etc. I'll be glad to check our data base for you.
Sincerely,
