| Josephine Chandler – Lori Doud is looking for information on her great-grandmother, Josephine Chandler, born 1881 in Kentucky. Josephine married Lewis Laswell from Ripley County, Indiana. During the Civil War Josephine’s family fought on the Confederate side and her husband’s family fought on the Union side. After Josephine died when her children were small, they were not allowed any contact with their mother’s family, so nothing is known about Josephine’s parents. Josephine died in 1916 in Ripley County, Indiana. Her two children were Ralph and Margaret Laswell. Any help will be much appreciated!

| Thomas R. Chandler – father of Thomas Malcom Chandler? – CFA member Dixie Chandler Ross, having made some progress in her research, has submitted a new query: “My Great Grandfather, Thomas Malcom Chandler, who married Martha “Mattie” Elizabeth Hannon in Cobb Co., GA, has been located since my previous query. Malcom is on 1864 Civil War Census for Re-organizing The Georgia Militia for Cobb Co., GA 859th Militia District, state guards company K, Confederacy. He is age 16 yrs, 6 mos. There is also a Thomas R. Chandler 54 yrs, 2 mos. on this list who is possibly Malcom’s father. Malcom applied for disability pension dated 1908, this information from LDS microfilm. There is a Thomas R. Chandler on 1870 census Cobb Co. with wife Ann and number of children (oldest is Carry, age 22). Malcom (age 24 in 1870) is not listed here, but could very well fit into this family as he is married and has a daughter 1 year old (Dora) and is listed in nearby Powder Springs, Cobb Co. GA, as head of his own household. Does anyone have conclusive information that this Thomas R. and Ann are Malcom’s parents? Thomas R.’s parents are believed to be Allen Chandler and his first wife, Mary “Polly” Bryan who married 12/19/1807 in Franklin Co., GA. The 1880 census Cobb Co. shows Thomas R. age 62 with 2 of his children and no wife. (Ann must have died.) Two more of his married children are living next door with several grandchildren. Has anyone searched the Georgia Department of Archives & History for more information on this Thomas R.? I would appreciate hearing from descendants of this Thomas R.”

Chandler Killed in Stagecoach Holdup! – Lauri Thomas, who admits she is looking for a needle in a haystack, writes, “My great-grandmother was Jessie Ann Chandler. She was the only child born to her father,  (unknown) Chandler, and Jennie Elizabeth Callahan (born 1839). Jennie was possibly nicknamed ‘Lee’ or went by ‘Elizabeth.’ She was married four times. Her first husband was a Pony Express rider and was killed by Indians. Her second husband was Chandler. This Mr. Chandler was a stage coach driver and was killed by bandits. Her third husband was Mr. Cunnyngham. He died from a stray bullet during a gun fight. The fourth husband, Mr. Davis, died from diptheria.” Jennie had one child from each marriage, all by the age of 36, but only Jessie Ann Chandler and Charley Cunnyngham survived to adulthood. Lauri would like to find the name of Jessie’s father. Jessie was born in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, in 1864 and died in Bentonville, Alabama, in 1914. The information on Jennie’s life surfaced only recently, when Lauri came across a photograph of her and children Jessie and Charley with the fate of Jennie’s four husbands listed on the back. If you know of a Chandler who lived in the middle 1800’s and was killed by bandits while driving a stagecoach, please contact Lauri.

| Isaac Chandler of Hickman County, Tennessee – Vicki Reich is seeking information on her ancestor Isaac Chandler, born about 1785 in Virginia. Isaac and a William Chandler (possibly his brother) may have lived in Williamson County, Tennessee, before Isaac moved to nearby Hickman County. Isaac married Matilda Quarles in 1836, but there may have been an earlier marriage for him. William Chandler of Hickman County who married a Bates is not the same as the William of Williamson County who is the possible brother of Isaac. Are Vicki’s Isaac and William related to the Wilson County, Tennessee, Chandlers? Any help in tracing the ancestry of Isaac Chandler will be much appreciated.

| Allis Chandler – Bobby Chandler is searching for information on Allis Chandler, born about 1780 in Virginia. Allis’ father may have been John Chandler, born before 1753 in Virgina. Bobby believes that Allis is the father of Elias Chandler, born 1799, Bobby’s great-great-grandfather. He says, “I am sure of the Elias connection and have documentation. The 1870 cencus for Nacogdoches County, Texas, shows a Marquil Chandler born about 1820 to be living very near to two of Elias’ sons in Nacogdoches County and in his house there is an Allis shown as 90 years old. The census shows this to be a female, but the age and living near Elias’s sons causes me to feel this is most likely Elias’ father living with a younger brother. Any information to this line from Elias Chandler backward would be greatly appreciated.”
