Chester Archives are at Chester, but have not been visited.
Very little evidence
has been found of family members in Cheshire prior to the late 20th
Century, but the following are noted:
Robert
Startyvaunt
of Macclesfield, Cheshire, and his son John, are referred to in legal
documents known as Banco Rolls in 1451/2. [
They were probably related to the Lancashire family
]
Everett Edward
Sturtevant
son of George Washington & Frances
Sturtevant
(nee
Kilburn
) born in Cheshire. [
per a recent IGI entry which gives no date or location and is therefore suspect
]
