After Ann died, Arthur, on July 29, 1778, apparently remarried to Delila Bosely, the widow of John Helms, and daughter of William Bosley and Elizabeth Dimmitt. Arthur and Delilah had one son, Walter Bosley Chenoweth, but nothing is known of him other than his birth.

Bosley was her maiden name - and there may have been two of her.

Are there two Delilah Bosleys?

Delilah Bosley m. Benjamin Barney 23 April 1758 (St John's Parish, Joppa, (now Harford Co.), Maryland)

Joseph Bosley, son of Walter Bosley, left a will that he wrote in April 1772 in which he names his daughter Delilah Barney. This seems to be proof that in April of 1772 Delilah was still married to Benjamin Barney and couldn't have been the Delilah Bosley who married married John Helm in 1762.

The Chenowith web page states that the Delilah Bosley that m. Helm and then Chenowith was the daughter of William Bosley and Elizabeth Dimmitt. Anyone know this William Bosley? Is he the William who is son of Walter, brother of Delilah's father Joseph?


Origins

Baltimore County, Maryland Will Book 3 Page 393 and 394 Last Will and Testament of Joseph Bosley, "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 12 day of April 1772."

... Imprimis I give and bequeath to my 6 daughters, to-wit: Delilah Barney, Dianah Magers, Ann Bosley, Mary Bosley and Johanah Bosley 10 pounds current money each; and it is my will that they have no more of my estate real or personal. ...

NOTE: Joseph Bosley specifices in 2 places in this Will that he has 6 daughters but only five are named. In the final account of the estate by the executor, Greenbery Bosley, however one Ruth Cox is named as being one of the legatees and she receives share equal that disbursed to other daughters. It can only be assumed that the clerk while transcribing the Will into the record book somehow left out the one name.
