David Chidester [Parents].David married Jemima Hough on 21 Aug 1723 in Farmington, Hartford Co, CT.
The following was taken verbatum from page 37 and 38 of "The
Chidester-Chichester Heritage Book", by Elmer and Thelma Anderson.
5-33 David CHITTESTER, one of the many enigmas of the early
CHICHESTER-CHIDESTER puzzle, was "of Farmington Hartford, Conn.""David CHITTESTER and Jemimah HOUGH Boath of Farmington were Joynedtogether
in marriage ye 21st Day of August Ano Dom 1723." (film #1680 V1 p 60 LDSGen
Lib, Salt Lake City, Ut.)Where David came from, his parentage or other salient facts have not been
found. However, 24 May 1725, Jonathan HOUGH deeded to David, hisson-in-law,
part of his own home place reserving part for his (Jonathan's) son John.The
same Jonathan, on 23 May 1732, deeded land to his beloved son Benjamin,
mentions his son Zephaniah and his son-in-law David CHITTESTER.David in turn sold land to James LEWIS 4 Jan 1784. On 30 Jan 1734/5Jonathan
HOUGH deeded more land to his son-in law, David CHITTESTER. On Mar 12,
1734/5, David sold property to John HOUGH, his brother-in-law. (See film
#1480F, New Fairfield Land Recs pp 370-376, SLC)7 May 1783, David CHITTESTER of New Fairfield, sold land "being part of ye
farm which Jonathan HOUGH took up". (Fairfield, Conn., Deeds, pt 3 p158-9)
The home place of this David CHICHESTER (CHITTESTER OR CHIDESTER) which he
obtained from his father-in-law Jonathan HOUGH, was so situated that itlay
on the south border of New Fairfield, touching and partially belonging to
the township and town of Danbury. The owner of the propert was listed
variously as "of New Fairfield" and "of Danbury". It is entirely possible
that this last transaction in the name of David CHITTESTER, occuring as it
did sixty years after the marriage date of David CHITTESTER and Jemimah
HOUGH, could very well have been made by a son David, although no recordof
a family has been found. Elmer Anderson. (See next generation, David 6-47)

Bloom of Mansfield Twp., NJ. (NJ Archives, Vol 37, pg 361).

SPECIAL NOTE;
The following was in a letter written as an answer to Lois ChidesterSalmans
by Elmer Anderson dated
9 December 1983, disproving the existance of Mary Titman as the wife of
Samuel. Elmer knew this when his Chidester-Chichester Book was beingprinted
but it was then too late to withdraw it.
QUOTE; "Now about this Titman family. I think the same as you that thishas
nothing to do with Chidester. I don't recall where I got this dope thatshe
married into the Chidester family so I am going to delete every referenceof her.
I even advertised in the Gen. Helper once and also wrote to some Titmansin
NJ, but they know nothing. So Chidary or Chidiary isn't Chidester. We'll
delete this and go looking for Sam's wife. Thanks for this bit of dope."M iii Elijah Chidester was born on 12 Jun 1739. He died about 1796.
