Notes

• Mercy's last name sometimes listed as "Goodell".
• Ester's last name sometimes listed as "Strong" rather than Smith.
• The Sequoyah link didn't actually give all that much additional info about Chester himself, but it includes a pedigree that goes back thousands of years all the way to the Biblical Adam and includes hundreds of kings. And yes, I know the quality of that data, but I wanted to capture it as a source, cause it will be much fun going through it all as I get further back in the generations.
• Note that this is Chester Elmer Sr, as distinguished from his son Chester Elmer Jr
• Some source give Harriet's last name as "Severance" rather than Johnson
• Mother also listed as "Murcy Goode"
• Note father is Elijah Elmer Sr, there is also an Elijah Elmer Jr who would have been one of Chester's brothers.
• Lucretia also known as "Crucy"
• Chester Elmer's mother Mercy Goodale and Lucretia Wright's mother Eleanor Goodale were sisters, making Lucretia and Chester first cousins.
