I am searching on my 6th gr-grandfather, Joseph Chew who married Mary Simmons in
Anne Arundel, Maryland on 15 Sep 1771. He moved to Frederick, Virginia around
1799. I found a Joseph Chew at FamilySearch.org who married Elizabeth Thomas,
daughter of Sampson Thomas, on 02 Dec 1799 in Frederick, Virginia. Does anyone
know if this is certainly the same Joseph Chew who was in Maryland and moved to
Frederick, Virginia.
I have his children as Ezekiel Dickerson Chew, William Dickerson Chew, and
Nancy Dickerson Chew.
According to Genealogy of the Chew Family, p260, Joseph's son Ezekiel was also
in Frederick County, Virginia in 1799 and listed on a deed book 26.
I am also trying to locate exactly where this Joseph Chew died. I have not
found him on any census records in Ohio with his son William who relocated to
Richland, Ohio.
Thank you!
Rhonda Kelly

Hello David,
I've just started to research the Chew's of Calcutta, India.
The Chews are not my direct ancestors, however, Henry "Harry" Allan Dunn Chew,(b 1869, son of William Rando Ramsey Chew & Harriet Margaret Crowe), was half brother to my Great Gran, Martha Henrietta Grafton Bowler.
I wonder whether you have any information as to where the Chew family originated from?

Thank you for the web site. I will check it out later this week.
I was worried about the information in the book, since i only had copies of a few pages. I was hoping that maybe somone out there, May have had some kind of information that could lead me to a birth certificate for Theodore and siblings, or possibly wedding information, that may list his Theodores Chews parents.

Tim, can't thank you enough. I am a great-great grandaughter of Laura Susan Chew, my older sister is named after her. She married James N.

Should you want to pursue the Fred Nicholas line, I would be happy to oblige.

I just looked around a bit online re: the "Genealogy of the Chew family" by Robert L. Chew. At least one Chew family message board poster said that much of the information in the book has never been authenticated, so it's not been proven.
You might want to look at the entire book to see what the writer's sources were.
Worldcat.org can tell you which libraries have the book. You may be able to borrow it via InterLibrary Loan. See:

One thing I noticed -- If Nathaniel IS the father, it's unlikely that Theodore's nickname was Eli, since one of his brother's was named Eli. Perhaps Theodore's wife had married two brothers, after one passed away...??? That was fairly common.

The information was by an Archivist I Rebecca ???? (Can Not read the Signature)The Letter Head is"State of New Jersey""Department of Education""State Library", trenton, NJ. It appears to be copied pages from a book called "Genealogy of the Chew family" by Robert L. Chew published by The Gloucester County Historical Society, Woobury NJ. It is only copies of pages 289,291,295,322,328,343,344,345,357,398, From there I am missing, it seems allot of information. I do not know if she did not recieve the information or it was lost over the years.
page 345 mentions " 7 Nathaniel C. 2 b. 29 apr 1799 , nj d. 2 jan 1884 glou.co.nj. married 1 nov 1823, Rachel Eldridge, b.3 jun 1801, d. 17 dec 1877,and children; 8 Theodore,8 Elmer, 8 elwood, 8 samuel, 8 eli, 8 Job, 8 Martha 3, 8 rachel 2, 8 Anna 3, 8 Achsah, 8 Elisha 1, 8 Howard"...and so on. It does not give me any birth dates of his children to verify if i am looking at the right Theodore, and it, seems to be missing all the info for those children.such as B;D;M; wife etc..
then on page 322 Mentions "8 Theodore, see 9 Lewis 2 ref 1260 ....9 Louis 3". and so on.
I am looking for some accuracte information, that either will tie father and son together or information that will tell me this information is incorrect.

No, there are no "wrong" queries! :) just more info is needed to make sure that you get the right info or right advice.
When you say "It show(s) that Nathiel C Chew is his father" does "his" = Theodore's?
What were the sources in the 1983 report? Was the compiler a genealogist?

My Grandfathers mother was Rachel Ann Chew who married William Shemely. I dia pretty good with information concerning her parents Lewis albert Chew and Lorena Ewan, i have been able to find the 1860,1870 census Gloucester New Jersey and match it with my grandmother information with children Sara, Rachel, Louis, Ola, Martha, Earl, Amy. From there I have Theodore Chew and Rachel Eldridge, 1850,1860,1870,1880,1900 census. Although my grand mother had his name at "Eli" i found it to be incorrect , It was Theodore, Eli could had been a nicname for him.There children were George, Lewis,Rachel,Sarah,Mary,Drucella, Hattie, William, Thoedore. from there i am hving trouble seeing the possible connection to Nathaniel C Chew nad Sarah McFarland.
