Hmm. Well I got the two Pearsons books first. They are a good
starting and overview type place. However there are errors here and
there. The information comes basically from the church records, but
also from some other stuff from the period.I got the Albany church
book from Genealogical Publishing Company in Baltimore, Md. They have
probably the finest collection of genealogical books of anyone. They
certainly have seen most of my spare cash for years. I am very fond
of published records. It at least gives you a fair shot and sponsors,
etc. Sponsors for the early settlers does help. My paternal line is
only from Albany-Schenectady until my grandfather, so I have an
enormous library of that area, not much else however. Steph

There is one entry in the Albany book: Alexander Chesney and Jane McMolly. Children: Mary, bo 20 Jan 1776. I would say the chances are better in some of the Scots type towns.

Hi Charles:
The entry I sent you was on p. 30 of "Contributions for the Genealogies of the First Settlers of the Ancient County of Albany, from 1630 to 1800" by Prof. Jonathan Pearson. It was originally published in 1870, but reprinted by several genealogy book vendors (Higginson, Hope Farm, Genealogical Pub. Co., etc. should have it). There are also 5 McChesneys on p. 77. Kim
