Dear Bob:
I descend from Elgate Driskell through his son Elijah Driskell. I have a public tree (Driskell Crockett) on ancestry. Were your relatives part of the infamous Driskell-Brody gang? I will add your information to my tree. I dont know if I have anymore information than you do but I do research as often as possible and add what I find. Take care,

Hello fellow Driskell descendant.

I am descended from Denis Driskell who came from Kinsale County Cork, Ireland to Somerset Co., MD lived 1660 to 1721. So far I don't see a Chester in my line, but there could be as some went to Ohio.

It would help a lot if you had dates, and places. Have you checked the census? If not I could help with that just let me know.. alabamakinchaser(at)yahoo.com

AmyTerry28 — 2007-04-11 21:23:28Z

Thanks for responding! W.A. wsa born in IL, but then he and his family lived in Missouri for awhile, and then later Colorado. I am related to his wife, Isabelle, and trying to find out for sure what her maiden name was. Her mother died when she was real young, and I'm not sure who the father was.
I have seen some census's where W.A. went by John W.A., not sure why.

Thanks,
Amy

Hello,

I am descended from Driskell's in Washington County, Indiana. I don't show your W. A. but then again I don't have a lot of the more recent descendants.

My 2nd Great Grandmother is Zeralda Drisekell daugnter of Elisha Driskell and Elizabeth Boston. Zeralda married Thomas Field. Her second marriage was to Green Benton Nicholson(not my line). From Indiana the family moved to Iowa and Nebraska. They are scattered through out the US I can and will exchange info if you would like.

Hi Essie

I think that your e-mail should be going to Allison since she is the person that does the look-ups.
My family does come from Ireland and also went to England. I believe that they ( the Driskell's) arrived in the 1600's or earlier.
I have other Irish family that went to Canada.
