Union Primitive Baptist Church Danielsville, Georgia |
The Union Primitive Baptist Church cemetery on Highway 106, Danielsville, Georgia, is the location of a number of Chandler graves. Rev. Lewis Martin Chandler preached here and is buried beside his wife, Mary L. Carolyn Sailors. They are both descendants of John Chandler born 1600 (Genetic Chandler Family 7A) and 4th cousins once removed to each other. |
These photographs were submitted by Angie Henley, great-granddaughter of Lewis Martin and Mary Sailors Chandler. Sterling Chandler (1782-1858) (see below) was the maternal grandfather of Mary Sailors Chandler, which makes Angie a double descendant of John Chandler born 1600.
See photographs of Lewis Martin and Mary on the Chandler Memories page 9. |

Marker for Sterling Chandler (1782-1858) |
There are markers for Sterling and Edith Chandler and two of their great-grandsons among others in a family cemetery located on Neese-Commerce Road in Madison County near Ila, Georgia. (This cemetery is noted as the Dock Chandler Cemetery in the CFA Lineages Database.) According to descendant Angie Henley, neither Sterling nor Edith are actually buried at the location of their markers. Apparently a descendant placed a memorial there some time after their deaths. Family legend tells that Sterling is buried in an unmarked grave on his former property, and Edith is buried in an unmarked grave in another family cemetery on the corner of Neese Commerce Road and Highway 98, Ila, Georgia.Sterling was born April 6, 1782, in North Carolina and died April 18, 1858, in Jackson County, Georgia. Edith Bryant Chandler was born March 3, 1787, in North Carolina, and died after 1858 in Madison County, Georgia | ||||||||||||||||
The two great-grandsons buried in Dock Chandler Cemetery are Garnett McMillian Chandler and Alvia Thurman Chandler, sons of Docktor Franklin “Dock” Chandler. They are first cousins once removed to Mary L. Carolyn Sailors (see above).
