Trying to locate ancesters of my grandfather, william F. Chidester. He had stated that he was PA Dutch, B: 1870 in Peach Orchard, IA, Married to Mattie Ratliff. His father was supposedly a William also and his mother was Ellen Lamb.He had 2 brothers Charles (Tuck) and George(Lee).
My research shows that there never was a Peach Orchard IA but right across the border in IL there is a large area called Peach Orchard and although most census show him an being born ia IA the 1930 cen. and 1880 KY, Madrid Bend Fulton Co. show IL as birthplace.
My assumption is that he was b: 1870-72 in IL. his mother was in fact Ellen Lamb b: 1844 in IA.His father was Samuel b:1843 PA. The family name is Chitester.They were married at Jones Co. IA in 1863.Samuel age 27 and Ellen age 24 are listed in Jo Davies Co. IL 1870.
In 1880 they appear to be in Madrid Bend, Fulton Co. KY, Sam'l is listed as Louis b:PA, Ellen, B;IA and 3 sons. William age 8 B: IL, Charles age 6 b:iIA, and George age 2 b:KY, Louis' brother M. Chidester.
I think there father was Joseph B:abt 1808 PA and Mary b:abt 1807 PA and 7 children, one of which is Sam'l age 9 and one is Martin ane 16 (matches 1880 kY). Cannot find any info prior to Joseph.The family name here is Chittester.
His mother I believe is the daughter of Edward and Catherine Lamb of IN both originally from Ireland.
most of this info is assumed and I am hoping that some Chidester, Chitester, Chittester researcher can set me straight. Any help at all, greatly appreciated.

It appears that my families branch of the Chidesters is not very well documented. I have info on my grandfather in AR and TX. If anyone researching has located any info that doesn't seem to fit anywhere please contact me at chidkid(a)flippinweb.com I'm sure there are connections but I can't find them anywhere. Thanks to all.

I believe you contacted me once or twice before regarding my grand father William Chidester. I think your Joseph and Samuel may be from an obscure branch of Chidesters that have not been to well documented.
I have (unoffical) a Joseph Chittester b:abt 1808 in PA with a son Joseph b:abt 1849 in IL (1870) fed cen) this Joseph's son was Samuelb:1842 in PA. In 1850 IA cen shows entire family living in IA. in 1870 Samuel married Ellen Lamb in Hanover.Jo Daviess Co.,IL in 1870Th name was spelled Chitester. Ellen Lamb was my ggrandmother.
Ihave it pretty well down but unfortunately can't prove any of it. Hope this sheds light or that you may have info that will help me.
Thank You
