Please check my earlier posting to this board. It talks about the parents of Ann Chestnut. We think that the date is wrong and that they the came to Utah about 1852. We have some information that George Washington Adair father found the child and in took them in. I will try to check journals of Utah pioneers that entry Utah with the Adair family pin this date down. You might check the follow website for some of our information on Ann chestnut / George W.

How do you tie into this family? What information do you have?
FYI:
There is a book on ebay, has hundreds of names in the index they have up there, along with some birth/death dates on the page as well, might help someone in their research.
Its not my book, but you should be able to email the seller if you have questions.

I need assistance from some kind soul who might have access to actual Knox
County, MO. marriage records from the 1820-1830s. Several databases on line
indicate that there was a marriage on either June 3 or June 6, 1822, between
a James W. Green(e) and Elizabeth Chestnut (Chesnut).
Is there anyone who can lookup the actual record itself (or direct me to
someplace which can) and tell me if there is any more information other than
just their two names?
There is a strong possibility that they may be the parents of my
gggrandfather, James Edward Green, who was born in either Nov. 1831 or Nov.
1834 in Kentucky.
I know for certain that his mother's first name was Elizabeth (though
sometimes she went by the name of Eliza) and that she was born about
1804-1805 (probably in KY).
She was widowed "sometime before the 1860 Federal Census"--that's when she
appears in the home of James & his wife, Sarah F. Byrns, in Audrain Co., MO.
I know that (1) part of Knox Co. became Harlan Co. in about 1819; (2) that
several Chestnut (Chesnut) families were living in Knox County between
1810-1830 (after which they all seem to have left the area), and (3) quite a
number of Green families can be found in Knox County as early as 1800 (and
later in Harlan) including several listing for a "James Green". However, I
cannot seem to find a "James Green" who was married to an Elizabeth...let
alone an Elizabeth Chestnut.
There is a possibility that James W. Green(e) and Elizabeth Chestnut
(Chesnut) may have moved from the area early after their marriage. A letter
that I possess from one son of my gggrandfather (James Edward Green) states
that he was born near Paducah, KY which I believe is in McCracken County.
I know this request is a bit lengthy and I do apologize, but I've been
searching for my great-great-great grandparents names for a long time & I
hope that some bit of information provided might ring a bell or two!
