John Chestnut was born ca 1679... his father was Alexander Chestnut... Alexander died may 1690 Isle of Wight County, Virginia....
I have looked thru numerous books and doc... and have not seen a David Chestnut.. in Isle of Wight.. or Sussex county... or Augusta Counties Virginia....
David ..I feel is related to the early Virginia Chestnuts'..... they all have the same names....but I have yet been able to place him in the correct family and line up..
In Mary Chesnut's Diary from Dixie... she mentions a cousin Samuel Chestnut.... Samuel I know is from David's line...
it is possible that David went by sea to Charleston and into Chester/ Fairfield District...it is a tough read... looking at old doc with bad penmanship ... and no 2 names spelled the same
