Jean to Moses Wallace in 1770;

Isabella to Hugh Wilson, 30 Apr 1772;

Grizel to Alex. Wilson, on 16 Jun 1774; and

Joseph to Elizabeth (unknown surname) on 25 Jan 1780.

Wm McChesney to Esther (Say) Harris, 1 Jun 1752.

Plus a Benjamin to unknown, on 5 Nov 1771 (could he be William, born 1746?) Any relation?

Isabel's husband Richard died testate between 11th and 30th of "Nov 1874," per his gravestone He wrote his will on 11 Nov 1774 and it was probated on 1 May 1775 in Paxton Twp., then in Lancaster Co., now Dauphin Co.

Her marker says:

IN

Memory of

Ifabel Fulton Who

Departed this Life

the 1st of April 1779

Aged 65 Years.

Ifabel: at the time "f" was used for "s."

PAB believes Isabel was born 1714 in Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania (awaiting source). Dauphin Co. was created in 1785 from parts of Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania.

The Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Book, #18, p 179 includes Mrs. Louise Audenreid Crosby, descendant of William Chesney, AKA McChesney, of Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. He was the father of Isabel McChesney Fulton.

* Wm Henry Egle's Pennsylvania Genealogies, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1896, says they married in Dec 1744. However, Mathias Wilson McAlarney's History of the Sesqui-Centennial of Paxtang Church, 1890, says Dr. Jno Elder married them 4 Jun 1744.

Duplicate site added 6-20: Daughter of William McChesney and Esther Harris (nee Say). Sometimes the surname is found to be Chesney and sometimes McChesney. (Note formerly above: Also, Rev. J Elder married a Wm McChesney on 1 Jun 1752 to Esther (Say) Harris.)
