Notes and Other Records
To do:
- Look for marriage record.
- Look for death records.
Proof of lineage notes:
- The Chopson family bible (in the possession of Ruth Costillo's family in Chicago) shows Elizabeth's maiden name as Howard.
- Have not yet found any hard proof linking George Chopson "Jr." to the George Chopson living in Fayette County, PA. Also, have not found proof linking Elizabeth Darbyshire to Thomas Darbyshire. However, both George Chopson (Sr.) and Thomas Darbyshire were living near each other in Menallen Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in early 1800s. Also, Thomas Darbyshire appears to have moved to Clinton County, Ohio, where George and Elizabeth lived.
