Levi Chidester Ohio
by Tom and Shelby Chidester
Looking for information about my great-great grandfather Levi Chidester. On his marriage license he states he is from Ohio. He married Sarah Jane, Jennie, Gossien (Gossin) in Dorsey(Cleveland) County, ARkansas. They lived around the Rison, Warren Arkansas area. I have some pictures of them. I know about Jennie's family pretty far back, but I would really love to know more about my Chidester family. My name is Amanda Jane Chidester (Meeks now) I am 27 years old. I live in Ashley county arkansas not to killing far from where they lived. My Daddy remembers both of them very well. They were both 100 or almost when they passed away. He died in the 60's and She died in 1976 I think if I remember correctly. I have heard a few stories that although aren't really detailed sorta intersting. Would be glad to share. I hope that somebody on this list knows something about this family. Levi is said to have joked about being a Yankee that married a little Indian girl....I!
sn't that somethin?? I don't know if he said it or not, but others in the family said that he did. Looking forward to hearing from you. Any thing would be greatly appreciated. Amanda
