Here is how I see the Chess line as far as I can go. Anyone have anything else to add to this much. I have a lot more to follow.
1. PETER1 CHESS died in Prob. Mon. Co., New Jersey. He married SARAH BALL, daughter of DANIEL BALL and EMILINE.
Notes for PETER CHESS:
Family tradition says Peter Chess, # 008 in my Dads research work, was killed by wolves shortly after his arrival to America, and that Sarah Ball was a cousin to either Martha or George Washington. Now I have not made this connection myself.
Children of PETER CHESS and SARAH BALL are:
2. i. SARAH2 CHESS, b. 1770.
ii. HENRY CHESS, m. TRUMBALL.
iii. EMELINE HANNAH CHESS, b. 1761, Clark Co., Ohio; d. 1841; m. PETER POLAND, 1779; b. October 21, 1761, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey then to Jefferson Co.,Va., by 1778 to Allegany Co., Md. then to Greene Co., Pa. by 1804.; d. 1836, Buried Chess Cemetery.
