Chloe, "the daughter of Basnett DELL (b.1720) and Hannah BURRIS (b.1724)" was born in 1759 in New Jersey.
James fought in the Revolutionary war as a private in Captain Joseph Barton's Jersey volunteers. Two generations later, James’ grandson George (b.1815) named his 4th child Joseph Barton Everingham in memory of his grandfather and the man he fought for in the Revolutionary war. James and Chloe also had a daughter they named Anna. After migrating to Canada, James’ wife Chloe died sometime before 1793 in Ontario. At that time, the widowed James Everingham's oldest child was 12. April 2, 1793, James who was 33, married 17 year old Catherine LEMON in Canada.
