My family is descended from a William Chancellor who was born in Georgia in
1809 and died in 1870 in Nuxobee, Mississippi. He apparently lived in
Alabama at least between 1836 and 1845 because several of his sons were
born there. He married Nancy Talley, born 1812 in Alabama.
One of his sons, Richard Jefferson Chancellor, moved to Texas about 1881.
He first married Susan Yelvington, who was born and died in MS, and then
Martha Womble, born in MS. The rest of the brothers apparently stayed in MS.
Anyone connected with this family?

Wish I could connect my CHANCELLOR family back to Virginia and across
the ocean. All we know is that our progenitor was born in South
Carolina and ended up in Georgia which is where we are today. Been
looking into doing a DNA project to possibly narrow some
possibilities. All the info I have--well, a lot of it--is listed on my
website at
http://www.chancellorfamily.org. Any help is always
welcome!
