CHESTNEY, Jane, D. 12-29-1814, 87 yr., Hus. Alexander T.O. Chestney in Civil War ______________________________ Father may be Alexander Chestney, From mom, moved from England to Ireland temporarily? Per Ancestry.com database, one Kattrin Chestney listed, d. bef 3 nov 1625 in Martham Norfolkshire England _____________ Not sure if the same William Chestney, but pretty sure: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 16:20:59 -0500 "Rogers B. Finch" <ka2hsu@juno.com> The roll of Colonel Philip P Schuyler's Regiment can be found on pages 86-88 of "New York in the Revolution as Colony and State" by James A. Roberts, Comptroller,(Albany: 1897). I read somewhere recently that this book is being republished. William Chestney is listed as an Enlisted man. The Captain's name was given as Levinis Lansingh. The original documents from which Roberts obtained in his information may be in the State Archives in Albany. Roberts copied some if not all that were available and placed them with the (then) War Department in Washington. These are probably the same ones you quoted in your query. Rogers Rogers B.

No real information on Chestney or Chesney. Except John McChesney in Hebron 1790 census. March 1, 1999 Received letter from Albany County Hall of Record, Albany County Clerk dated February 2, 1999. - no listings in indexes to wills from 1780 and Letters of Administration from 1794 - no listings in History of Albany County 1609 to 1886 and Hudson- Mohawk Genealogical. - some listings in Annals of Albany for supposed brother James (which gives some indication of date of birth ie 1750s) as well as in indexes to Grantor and Index to Grantee for James and a John I wife Christina (James' son?) no follow up planned ___________________ From letter 26 OCt 1998 Harry Chesney The name CHESNEY has its origins in Normandy (France) and translates as by or near an Oak grove. The first CHESNEY ancestor recorded in this Country was Radulphus (or Ralph) de Caisned who in 1086 held land, in Norfolk amd Sussex, as an undertenant of William de Warenne. de Waranne is know to have been at the Battle of Hastings (1066), and it is quite possible that Ralph was there also. Almost a Century later Robert de Chesney was the 4th Bishop of Lincoln. Many of our family lines can be traced back to Norfolk. CHESTENEY listed as name variant. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The only problem I have with my Chestney`s at present is my Grandfather:- I am unable to find a birth, marriage or death certificate for him although I know where he died at. I am at present still waiting for more info as to why I cannot obtain these certificates. Any details or help you can provided with be most valuable to me.

| Wed, 10 Feb 1999 08:09:30 -0500 "William H. McNitt" <william.mcnitt@fordlib.nara.gov> Charles, Besides proximity, one of the reasons you may believe that your Elizabeth belongs to the Salem, NY branch of the family is because so little is known of the daughters in that family. I don't have any proven daughters of Alexander McNitt/McNutt and his wife Elizabeth of Salem, but do have the following three who might be daughters: 1. Margaret m. 24 Sept 1778 to James Bolton 2. Elizabeth (1761-1835) m. William Rogers 3. Sarah m. 10 August 1786 to Alexander Bolton Obviously, if the Elizabeth who married William Rogers really was a daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth that would make it extremely unlikely that your Elizabeth fits into this family. William Rogers was the brother of Mary Rogers who married Alexander and Elizabeth's son Daniel. One source says that William Rogers married a daughter of Daniel, but given her age she could not have been a daughter but might have been a sister. Bill McNitt ______________ March 1, 1999 Received a letter some time ago from historian in Salem, New York. Some information on McNitt/McNutt. It seems that Captain Alexander McNitt in Salen 1720-1817 might be a candidate for father, his wife was Elizabeth. Also could be one of Alexander's sons being the father: John, Andrew, David, John. Some others listed as in file. Inquiry sent to historian re wills. Will also post to McNutt site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
