Biography

DOB on this profile was 1772 but this is not possible if her son William was born in 1786. Assuming she was at least 20 when William (her second? son was born), DOB is estimated as "before 1766".

Mary is the executrix of her husband's 1796 will, which was witnessed by William McChesney.^[1] William also worked on the inventory of Joel's estate in 1796. William signed his own name, but Mary did not.

Speculative Origins

How is she related to William McChesney (abt.1766-1861) of Cumberland County, who was involved in her husband's will and therefore likely a family member?

John McChesney (abt.1781-1860) and his wife Elisabeth McChesney were also contemporaries of Mary.

Was she related to John McChesney (1728–1775) and Mary McGuire (1735–1791) of Middlesex County, New Jersey?
