Between 1844 and 1863 Chesley and Melanie had eleven children; daughters Sarah (Ivey), Leannah (Jowell), Amanda (Conner), son Clinton (Humphreys), twins Dickey and Lisey, daughter Martha (Shields), son Oliver, daughters Valina (Palm), Sabrina (Jackson), and Columbia (Holcombe).

Two well-known versions regarding Chesley's death; one was that he was killed by Indians, and other was that he was killed by horse thieves, and it was made to look like an ambush by Indians.

Burial at the Dobbs Valley Cemetery was a 1936 re-interment undertaken by the youngest daughter, Columbia. Chesley is my 2g-grandfather.
