(Leonard Chester married) by about 1634 Mary _____; she married (2) before 9 August 1654 Richard Russell of Charlestown [Wyman 829-30; WP 6:413-14. … The identity of Leonard Chester's wife remains uncertain. Her surname may be Wade, or Sharpe, or Neville [Wethersfield Hist. 2:208-10]. … Three nineteenth-century writers published pedigrees of the Chester family, … These accounts differ in various details, but agree on the major points. … All of the pedigrees include many precise dates of birth, marriage and death which are not supported in the New England records. These dates may be from a family Bible or other privately held record, but this is not certain, and they may be a late invention. As a consequence the birth dates of the children of Leonard Chester and the dates of some other events are estimated from other evidence.
