      I'm trying to find out if there was more than one John Chester who was an officer in the Continental Army. Per a history book, 5th great-grandfather, John Chester, was an officer in George Washington's Army. He was born in 1750 and had a son named Charles E. Chester. I find another Officer John Chester born 1749 but records don't show that he had a son named Charles. Charles was born in Pennsylvania in 1798. I do not know the name of my relative's wife. Rumor has it that he was born in England, but it might be New England.
