My gggggrandfather was named Elisha Chestnut and he was born in Delaware on May 18, 1782. I cannot find anything on his past like who his parents were or where in Delaware he was from. After his birth the next time he shows up in records was in Ohio joining the Ohio Militia for the War of 1812. Any info would be greatly appreciated or any instructions as to how to get old records in Delaware would also be a great help.
