Chester's father-in-law was Captain William Lewis Herndon. He was Captain of the sidewheel steamship S.S. Central America that sank with a $100 million dollar treasure during a hurricane in 1857. At the time of Captain Herndon's death, Chester was dating his daughter. They would be married 2 years later.

Chester was also related to John Proctor, Jr. and Susanna (North) Martin. Both were convicted of practicing witchcraft at the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Both were executed. Susanna was Chester's 5th great-grandmother while John was his 5th great-granduncle.
