Notes:

Married to Mary White 1844 in Dickson, Tennessee
Lived in Dickson, Tenn at least from 1844 to 1870
In Dickson Tennessee in 1850 aged 24 with Mary and 3 Children
Found in Williamson Tennessee in 1900.

Joseph's mother and father were both from North Carolina, though he was born in TN (per 1880 & 1900 census). There are no Chester's enumerated in the 1810 Tennessee census. In the 1820 census (a few years before Joseph was born), there are several Chesters born in North Carolina living in Tennessee. They include a John Chester Sr. and a John Chester Jr. in Hickman County TN, a David Chester in Williamsport, Maury County, and three Johns and a William in Stewart County TN.

In the 1860 Census there is a John Chester, age 63 and born in North Carolina in the same area as Joseph - the Danielsville Post Office area of the middle district of Dickson County TN. John's wife's name is Mary; she is 58 and was born in South Carolina. There are five other Chesters in their home, all born in Tennessee: Jacob(26), Elizabeth(22), Roda(18), Sarah(38), and Thomas(14). It seems a strong possibility that this is Joseph's family.

Joseph married Mary WHITE on 18 Jul 1844 in Dickson County, Tennessee. Mary (daughter of William WHITE, Jr. and Obedience (Beedy) FARMER) was born in 1822 in Dickson County, Tennessee; died after 1880. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
