2. Thomas Foster was born circa 1725 in Essex County and died circa 1764 in Spotsylvania County. He married Dorothy Gatewood circa 1746 in Spotsylvania County. Dorothy was born circa 1726, the daughter of Henry Gatewood and Dorothy Dudley, in Spotsylvania County. She died after 1784 in Spotsylvania County.

• Note found on Ancestry Message Board for Chessers: I have gone as far as Abraham who was born in Noord - Holland Amsterdam. He married Amanda Foster who was born in Ireland They were married in the late 1700s.

Her father was Thomas Natalis Foster II b: ABT 1725 in Essex County Virginia died circa 1764 in Spotsylvania County, VA. Her mother was Dorothy Riona Burgh b: Sept 5 1731 in Ireland.

They (Abraham & Amanda) only have one son listed as Isreal [sic - possibly Israel] Chesser .

Amanda's siblings were :

1. Thomas Eavan Foster B ABT 1748
2. Dudley Adam Foster b ABT 1756
3. Tara Valentine Burgh 1762

Her father was married prior to Dorothy Gatewood B ABT 1726 in VA, the daughter of Dorothy Dudley & Henry Gatewood.She died after 1784 in Spotsylvania County, VA. They were divorced and Dorothy Amanda's mother was his second wife.

The Chesser early history goes back to Anglo - Saxon culture of Britain. Some went to England others to Ireland. Medieval scribes and Churches recorded names as they sounded resulting in multiple variations of spelling .

My thought was maybe Abraham moved to Ireland where he met Amanda? Just a thought . Maybe onto Virginia near her family later ? Will keep you informed of anything I find . Please let me know what if anything you find . Thanks Yvonne
