CFA Genealogy Panel – 2010 Annual Report

The CFA Genealogy Panel considered 72 cases in 2010 and declined one. Some cases were handled without submission to the panelists if a CFALD report could be provided or questions answered by Dick Chandler, GP Chairman, or Claudia Brocato, Secretary. “New” in member column indicates the inquirer joined the CFA about the same time their query was submitted to the GP or as a result of the GP’s efforts. JCDCB refers to “John Chandler Descendant Chart Book.” CFALD refers to the CFA Lineages Database. DNA Group Number in bold indicates an actual DNA testee or close relative of testee. DNA Group Number with a question mark (?) indicates a supposition of genetic group. We have disguised the names of the inquirers and other living persons mentioned below to protect their privacy.

Any conclusions presented here should not be considered the final product of our research. Genealogy is a process and research will always be ongoing. If you would like to know more about any of these cases, please contact 

Visit the Chandler Family Association website at chandlerfamilyassociation.org for information about the Genealogy Panel, the Chandler DNA Project, the Genetic Chandler Families, and more. For information on the almost 60 (so far) genetically-distinct Chandler lines visit chandlerfamilyassociation.org/home/genetic_chandler_families.

Some lineages below are abbreviated: JRR is a short version of John b. 1600 > Robert > Robert. The various lines of descent from John Chandler born 1600 can be viewed here: .

Dick has
exchanged corres­pondence with inquirer and will utilize her as a Roger of
Concord contact.  DNA test results of two males separately claiming descent
from Roger of Concord indicate that he was not related to Edmund of Duxbury
as some have speculated.

GP
research turned up some information on Allen Chandler’s life but nothing was
found to indicate his parentage. At our suggestion, inquirer upgraded his DNA
test to 67 markers in hope of a pointer to a specific 7A branch.  Based on
these results we have recommended a line of further research.

No

 

Response:
There were 372 pre-1837 male Chandler marriages in rural Surrey, of which 39
are to a Sarah, but only two fall in the period 1790-1800. Most likely first
marriage 1 May 1795 at Dorking St Martin William CHANDLER to Sarah VENN both
of that parish.

who is a descendant of William Addison Chandler, Sarah Anne’s uncle. Research
suggests Sarah Anne is buried in Hayes County, TX, so further research was

DNA
Group 7A

–DNA Group 7A -The inquirer is of Korean-American descent, but was born in
Japan.  He was subsequently adopted by an American couple of Japanese descent
and raised in the U.S.  His DNA matches Chandler Group 7A. Few clues on
ancestors except the surname of his birth father (Browning).

 

JS

Yes

7A

DNA test
was upgraded to seek close matches. Using this information, CFALD was combed
for possible candidates for ancestors of birth father Browning. Thanks to his
own research, help from CFA members and other researchers, and reports
from CFALD, inquirer was able to find close relatives of his birth father
(now deceased) and also found his birth mother, who is living in U.S.

theory is correct.”

possibility is Richard Wilkins Chandler born 1791 in ?VA died 1868 (JRR

is in the 1850 Census of District 14, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, as a
farmer aged 60 born NC. A study of Montgomery County, NC, records revealed
that the very first Chandler deed in the county was a purchase of land by
Kindrick in 1841. The year of birth for Kendrick was questioned, as some
sources indicate 1820.  The panel members found records of Kendrick’s descendants

genealogist to take you seriously if all you do is point them to someone
else’s tree that contains 58,000 people including Julius Caesar born 100 BC
and the Emperor Charlemagne born 742 AD but excluding your own
grandfather and great grandmother!  * * * *  there is no evidence
to connect the Chandlers who came to America from Wilt­shire in England
with any le Chaundeler who came from Normandy . . .  There is much for
you to be proud of in your Chandler ancestry, without needing to make
unproven claims.”

There is
probably a kinship connection between Thomas Jefferson Chandler and two other
Chandlers – George W. and Joseph C. Other families – King and
Knighten – were in some of the same places at the same times and may well
also be related. It was suggested that inquirer follow up on these clues.
