236 CHESTER OATMAN
236 CHESTER6 (Andrew5, Daniel4, George3, John2, Johannes1), son of Andrew and
Phebe Oatman, was born at 12 April 1819, Ashtabula County, Ohio.
He married Marrion
E. Platt on 26 September 1843 in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The 1850 census of the town of Wayne in
Ashtabula County lists Chester, 31, living with his wife, Mary E., 26,
Phebe, his mother, 64, his brother Arnold, 32, and two male children whose
names are illegible, ages 5 (unknown) and 1 (probably Spencer). Later census records show Spencer and the two
daughters listed below, so possibly the older boy died young. In 1900, "Marion" indicated that
she had five children born and only three living.
Chester was a
farmer in Wayne.
