“This Abraham or Abram Chandler does not appear in the CFA Lineages Database

married Martha Hubbard in 1843 per “Illinois Marriages

Benjamin was searched for in the descendants of George & Jane, of William

none of them contain a Benjamin of suitable age. Nor was he found in Quaker
records. A GP consultant found a record of Benjamin Chandler’s will in Luzerne County, PA, and advice was given

Jesse
Chandler
may have been the son of Whitfield Chandler, born 6 Nov 1783 in Orange,

Chandler born 19 Dec 1813 at Springfield, Fayette, PA; married Rachel Wright
on 20 Sep 1832 in Green, PA; died 21 Jul 1893 in Abingdon, Henderson, IL.

Responded:
“If Whitfield married Sarah Neal, he must have been remarried by 1850 since
he (aged 60 and surnamed Chanler) is with Lucinda aged 53 born VA in the 1850
Census of Hendricks, Shelby County, IN. In the 1860 Census he is aged 78 and
has Mary Chandler aged 65 with him at Sugar Creek, Shelby Co – she was born
at Monongahela which I think is now in WV. In the 1860 Census schedule an
“e” has been deliberately inserted in his name, making it
Whitefield.” . . . . “The family seems to have remained in PA until about
1845. Suggested DNA test.

Jesse
T. Chandler
– My father is Richard Wayne Chandler (b 1952 in Oxford, NC) and my
grandfather was Marion Thomas Chandler (b Dec 5th 1891 d July 6th 1963). My
great grandfather was Alfred Yancey Chandler (b. Dec 28th 1850 [birth year is
likely incorrect] and d. Jan 15th 1912). It appears Alfred Chandler’s father
was Jesse T. Chandler (b 1831 d 1863) and mother Lucinda (married 1852 –
Person County NC). I made the Alfred to Jesse connection because Jesse died
in the Civil War and Alfred lived on/near the Yarborough farm with Lucinda
Yarborough Chandler at that time widowed living on the farm with her father.
I think Jesse’s father was a Henderson Chandler (b 1789 d 1870) and
Henderson’s father Joel Chandler (b 1740 d 1800) (Joel’s wife was Jean Hay).

Panelist performed
substantial KY research. It appears there was a patriarch of the family,

Sibley. He had probably two maybe three sons who moved with him — William

Chandler. Dick surmised William Chandler is the most likely candidate for the

John
Chandler,
Surrey, England – a USAToday article references a Mr Chandler playing the
earliest ever recorded game of baseball along with Molly (Mary) Flutter whom
he married in 1757. Both John and Mary’s father Peter, grandfather Henry and
Gt Grandfather Henry were Mayors of Guildford in Surrey, England. Inquirer
has performed extensive research on this prestigious line and seeks help with
origins, US connections, and reasons for grant of Arms.

After a
discussion of Coats of Arms, Dick replied: “Unfortunately the name John was
given extensively among Chandler families, so it will be very difficult to
identify his ancestry. In cases like this we have found that Y chromosome DNA
testing can provide a breakthrough, sometimes immediately and in other cases
some time later when another participant joins in. I wonder if you could
persuade a living male Chandler with an unbroken male line to participate in
the Chandler project?”

John
Hasset Chandler
– Inquirer is seeking information about ‘John Hasset Chandler’ who was a
missionary in Siam in 1800s. I was wondering if you know of anyone who are
his direct descendants or have information about him such as documents,
photographs, and etc. Several years ago, I wrote an article about him in a
Thai magazine and would still like to know more.”

Synopsis
of Dick’s response: I am sure you know that John Hasset Chandler was a
descendant of William and Annis Chandler who migrated from Hertfordshire in
England to the New World in the 1600s. I have consulted (John Chandler –
member of this family), and he knows no more about John Hasset Chandler than
appears in George Chandler’s magnificent book. Although we can’t help you
with an immediate answer, I am sure we can help you with your research. . . .
. Perhaps the best starting point would be for you to provide us with a copy
of your earlier article, if you have it in English, and we will then suggest
how to take the matter forward.

Joseph
Chandler
(1769-1853) is shown with wife, Sarah Farmer, marriage date 1794 in North
Carolina. They are shown with eight children being born between 1795 and
1811. He moved to from North Carolina to Franklin Ga. However, I have also
found that he had two children, Simeon, born in 1785, and Ezekiel, born in
1791, both by a Nancy Wiley. I can’t find they were ever married. Do you have
any info on this? Also, her is my wife’s line that is shown on
Ancestry:Simeon !785-1850, married to Amelia? He is shown in the 1850 census
as living in Buncombe Co., N.C. John J Chandler 1820-?? married to Fannie
Long in Lincoln County, N.C. on 7/17/1838. Place of death unknown. Carlotta
“Lottie” Chandler, 8/22/1841, Lincoln Co, NC, married WIlliam W.
McCourry, died 12/91925, Yancy Co., NC. Lottie was my wife’s great
grandmother. Is this line from Simeon to Lottie correct according to your
records?

DoH

CFALD
has exactly what you have for Joseph Chandler 1769-1853 and Sarah Farmer. His
line of descent from John Chandler born England in 1600 is John > Robert
> Robert > Joseph 1695-1764. However, the father of Simeon and Ezekiel
is a different Joseph born 1755, spouse unknown, son of Elisha. This Elisha
was originally shown as the son of Joseph 1695-1764, but researchers of that
line assure me that there is no evidence of Joseph having a son named Elisha,
so his parentage is currently unknown. Simeon and Ezekiel were two of
Joseph’s five children. Simeon did indeed have a son named John, but he was
born in Buncombe County NC in 1822 and did not marry Fannie Long or have a
daughter named Carlotta, “Lottie” or anything similar. According to
the marriage records at Ancestry, the Chandler who married Nancy Wiley on 23
March 1801 was Josiah, not Joseph.
I
have looked at the trees at Ancestry which show Simeon and Amelia. The
Chandler tree says that Joseph married Nancy Wiley on 23 March 1801, i.e.
AFTER he married Sarah Farmer, and that he had no children with Amelia. None
of the tree provide any evidence that Simeon’s parents were Joseph and Sarah
(Farmer) Chandler, other than other similarly unsourced Ancestry trees.
Bluntly, these trees are leading you badly astray. In circumstances like
this, it is vital to start with what you can be sure of, and work back from
there. I assume you are sure about Carlotta. I guess that she is the Lottey M
aged 10 who appears in the 1850 Census of Cleveland Co, NC with parents John,
a Millwright aged 36, and Francis aged 30 [may be Fanny Long but not
necessarily so], with siblings Mary J (8), Newton V (6) and Laban S (six
months), everyone born in NC. In the 1860 Census of the same place, John is
not present, Francis is 40, the others are as you would expect, and are
joined by Francis C (female aged 6) and John F (4). This could suggest that
John died about 1856.
So,
the person you should be looking for is a John Chandler (not necessarily John
J) born about 1814 (not 1820). I have checked CFALD and can find no suitable
John Chandler born between 1812 and 1816. At present, I would have to answer
“don’t know” to the question about this John’s parentage.

Joseph
Edward Chandler, AKA Edward Chandler. Family records
indicate he was born Feb 9, 1876 at Spring Creek (Shelby County?) AL. In
1900, he appears with the family of John S & Bettie Hames, Morgan County,
AL, and is listed as brother in law (single, age 22). He married Sarah
“Addie” Johnson April 26, 1903 in New Decatur, Morgan County, AL.
He and Addie can be found in Morgan County in the 1910, 1920, and 1930 US
Census. A son, Lonnie V, was born July 20, 1904.

A
thorough perusal of Montgomery County records did not help identify
Kendrick’s father. Two members of the panel spent a great deal of time on
this case. The panelists considered several possible fathers for
Kendrick/Kindrick. One possibility is Richard Wilkins Chandler born 1791 in
?VA died 1868 (JRR William > William > Daniel bn 1768 Halifax Co, VA).
Another Wilkins 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 panel members found records of
Kendrick’s descendants but were unable to come to a conclusion on his
ancestry. Research is continuing in contiguous counties. One panelist
considered a Timothy Chandler born 1766-1784 who was in Montgomery County in
1810 as a possible parent or relative to Kendrick. Timothy lived near the
apparent father of Kendrick’s future wife.

The
death of Francis Chandler on 5 September 1994 occurred at 34601 Brooksville,
Hernando Co, Florida. He was born on 6 July 1915 and his SSN 385-05-1264 was
issued in Michigan before 1951. This ties in with what you told us.
I
have had less success with finding him in the censuses. I think this is him
in the 1920 Census – Francis Chandler aged 16 born Michigan as were his
parents. He has no recorded occupation and is living as a lodger along with
another lodger Robert Porter aged 14, in the Grand Rapids, Kent Co, Michigan
home of widow Emma Jones aged 70 born Kentucky and her divorced daughters
Winifred Jones (43) a beautician and Edna de Lyons (44) a masseuse. My guess
is that Robert Porter is Winifred’s son (the 1920 census suggests that). So
Francis Chandler might be a relative too, but I simply can’t find him in the
1920 census. For the record, there is a Frances T Chandler shown as female
aged 6 born Michigan in the 1920 census of Decatur, Van Buren Co, Michigan.
The child is shown as the granddaughter of George (57) and Laura (55) Mahoney
born Michigan and Kentucky respectively. I mention this because of the
Kentucky connection [Emma Jones and Laura Mahoney of similar age] though for
this to have any relevance the census record of Frances’ sex would have to
have been incorrect.
I
don’t see any evidence that Francis or Frank was born in Florida, though his
“going back to Florida” might suggest that.

Catherine is well known to be a daughter of Thomas born 1762 and to be the

It seems that the Thomas Chandler in question has to have been a relative of
Jesse Chandler.

Thomas
Chandler
lived in Warwickshire, England – married Martha Thomas at Coventry Cathedral
(St Michael’s Coventry) on 18 July 1808. I have a likely contender: a Thomas
Chandler, son of Robert & Elizabeth of Wolverton, was baptised on 11
March 1782. I am hoping for anything that might confirm my suspicions that my
ancestor Thomas Chandler was in fact this Thomas Chandler of Wolverton,

Response
from Dick: I came to the same tentative conclusion as you, that he was most
likely the son of Robert and Elizabeth Chandler or Chandley christened at
Wolverton on 11 March 1782 and that they were probably the Robert Chandler
and Elizabeth Roberts who married at Snitterfield on 15 June 1768. DNA
testing shows inquirer belongs to Group 8 – the common ancestor in England is
now being sought, possibly in the neighboring county of Leicestershire, the
ancestral home of Group 8.

Dick was
able to trace this family through census and other records. Thomas was a
sergeant of police in London Docks in 1875. He was born 1817 and was the son
of Jeremiah and Ann Chandler. Jeremiah may have been the son of Robert and
Susan Chandler who was christened at Kings Langley on 1 July 1791. Dick
suggested participation in the DNA Project.

Thomas
W. Chandler
born in Somerset County Maine, 1837-1895 married to Annie E.M. Bartholic
1842-1879. They resided in Sullivan Center Illinois in Livingston County.
Thomas was the son of Thomas Chandler-1806-1870 who married Olive
Tripp-1807-1880 Thomas was the son of Thomas Chandler & Dolly Holt, and
his father was Ebenezer Chandler & Sarah Averill. Thomas W. Chandler was
in the Civil War with the 127th Illinois Volunteers. He sounded like a very
interesting person, and very brave.

Thomas
Willard Chandler descends from William and Annis Chandler from Hertfordshire
in England who migrated to America (Massachusetts) in 1637. The line has
been very successful in America; its members include Seth Carlo Chandler Jr
(astonomer discoverer of the “Chandler Wobble”), the Chandlers who
ran the LA Times, Chloe Chandler the great grandmother of President
Rutherford B Hayes, John Chandler the Honest Tory (a Loyalist at the time of
the Revolutionary War), and Raymond Thornton Chandler the famous author and
creator of the fictional detective Philip Marlow. Supplied details of

Chandler,
DNA Group 9 – As I perused your website, I saw the list of genetic Chandler

responded, in part: “With regard to the ancestors of William
1595-1641, there are two competing lineages in circulation. The one I
subscribe to is supported by entries in the original IGI as at February 1981
i.e. before the IGI was corrupted by unsubstantiated ‘member submissions’. It
runs: William 1595-1641 > Henry 1560-1618 > Thomas 1528-1611 >
Thomas 1500-1554 > Thomas 1468-1551. All births at Bishop’s Stortford,

Co and Elizabeth Ann Commander in Wilcox Co. AL. Believe him to be a son of
Zachariah and Sarah Echols Chandler from Franklin Co., GA. He was apparently
married to both women at the same time (one in Perry Co., AL and the other in
Wilcox Co., AL) with brothers living with or near both.

Unable
to validate inquirer’s starting point – that William Riley Chandler can be
found in both Perry Co and Wilcox Co, AL in the 1850 Census. We can only see
the one in Wilcox Co, married to Elizabeth with children Mary, Martha,
Elizabeth, George and Francis.
Also, our records show that the William born 1814 in Franklin Co, GA son of
Zachariah Chandler and Sarah Echols was not William R but William H who
married first Mary Philbert in 1836, then Sarah Catherine McCain in GA in
1841, then Sarah Melissa Primm in AL in 1847. Advisd inquirer to re-examine
her research.
