CHIDESTER, Samuel - b. ca. 1775, PA/NJ/DE?
by Dale and Nancy Chidester
I'm looking for a tie-in with my ggg grandfather, Samuel Chidester. He
first shows up in Pike Co, IL about 1822-1824. He served on a jury there
in 1824. He was married to Rachel Kinney - b. 12 Feb 1787 in MA, d- 18 Jul
1870 in Pike Co., IL. They had the following children:
1 ? (female)- b. 1812/1815
2 William - b. 1818, m. Elizabeth Pier 1843 in Adams Co., IL
3 Elizabeth- b. 1820, m Albert St.John 7 Jul 1839 in Pike Co., IL
4 ? (female)- b. 1822/1824
5 Saphronia- b. 1828, 1. m Fancis Miscal 17 Apr 1846, d. 1850/1860 all in
Pike Co., IL
2. m Al Baker ?
6 Andrew- b. 1829, m Delilah Penell 22 Mar 1855 Pittsfield, IL, d. 13 Feb
1892 Washington Co., AK
Andrew was my gg grandfather and I have his line down through me. There
seem to have been a number of Samuels at various times and places, but I've
not been able to connect mine anywhere. Any help, etc. would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale Homer Chidester
