Hi:
Thats is my problem. I had the film of Andover Vital Records. That gives
William son of Thamas & Hannah Chandler born May 28, 1659. It says
absolutely nothing about a daugater also born that day. Also Thomas a son
of Thomas and hanna Chandler died 6 June 1654 in a hand writing later on
it says Thomas son of thomas & hanna Chandler born Oct 9th 1664.
They had two Thomas the first born Oct 2, 1652. thats the one who died
6-June 1954.
In the Printed virsion of Andover Vital Records by Topsfield Historical
Society 1912
Is the following.
Henry May 28, 1667
Joseph Aug 3, 1669
Sara Dec 20, 1661
Thomas Oct 2, 1652
Thomas Oct 9, 1664
William May 28, 1659
In Marriages
Hannah and Daniel Bigsbie Dec 2, 1674. There are other marriages but I
don't right handy have which one to connect them to to see if they are
there.
Deaths give Thomas the s. 6-6-1659
Capt Thomas Jan 15,1702/3
Hannah wid of capt Thomas 10-25-1717
lots of others.
There is absolutely no mention of Hannah Chandler's birth in either Andove
Vital Record. Thats why I am looking for it. Under the Baxby Hannah wid of
Daniel died Nov. 30 1730.
The marriage is also listed in American Marriage Records before 1699. By
Clemens 1977.
2 Dec 1674 in Andover, Mass.
So there seams to be conflicting infomation out there. Thats why I am
looking for the proof.
If anyone can help will appreciate it and share what I have copies of from
film and books.

To those of you discussing Hannah Chandler of Ipswich, Mass., I have

Gage on 12 November 1667. Could Hester be a sister of Hannah? While
the Gage line goes back to 1072, I no nothing about Hester's parents.

Hi All:
I am new on this list. I am looking for information on the birth of Hannah
Chandler who
married Daniel Bixby Dec 2, 1674 inAndover, Mass. She died Nov,20 1730 in
Andover.
Her parents were Capt Thomas and Hannah Brewer. Who also married in
Andover.
However I can't find her birth and I am not to sure they married in Andover
as I can't find that either. Both her parents died there. and Hannah Brewer
was born there. So I believe they were married there but I haven't found
any proof of it or of her birth.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/12/98 message)
(Part six)
This will be the last part of the Jesse Chandler series. I have told you
most of what I know about Jesse and made an educated guess about where he
came from. I have gradually come to realize that I have not been paying
enough attention to historical time lines as related to geography and in
relation to the people involved. In this mornings message I mentioned
several census records that were missing and thus could explain some
anomalies. Later it occurred to me that I should review the formation of
the counties, both in time and location vis-a-vis Jesse and my Thompson (I
think Thompson is a son of a William). Guess what? Franklin was formed from
Henry Co. in 1786 - I wonder where Jesse's land was located. Patrick was
also formed from part of Henry 1791. Henry was formed from Bedford in 1777.
Stokes NC was formed from Surry NC in 1789 and Surry from Rowan in 1771.
All of this is in the area and time we are looking at. Put this information
together with the missing census documents and it causes real confusion.
In this message, I will track a few of his children and finish with some
random facts and dates that were gathered by the Franklin Co. genealogist,
Mrs. Sigmon. The random facts were among the many documents she sent me as
we were trying to establish my Thompson Chandler's parents and VA county of
birth. As I have said in earlier messages, there seems to be no direct
connection between Jesse and Thompson, although I would bet that Jesse may
have been a great uncle or cousin or some relative not in the direct
descendant line.
I will try to give a reference for the random facts, but if I do not list
them, it is because I do not know. All of the facts come from printed books
or documents in a Franklin County or Roanoke library.
First, Jesse's children. I can only track one fairly well and a second a
little bit and the others not at all. Of the children, I mentioned in
Jesse's estate documents, I have found a good track for Moses and a mention
of Jerusha.
PLEASE NOTE: according to the book Virginia Genealogy, p. 28, "To receive a
license, persons had to give bond with sufficienty security (usually $150)
that there was no lawful reason why the marriage couldn't take place. The
bondsman was usually a family member related to either the bride or the
groom."
Moses Chandler was born in Franklin County, Va about 1805. He married
Elizabeth W. Hodges July 7, 1825 in Franklin Co. Surety, Robert Hodges, Jr.

Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/9/98 message)
(Part five)
PLEASE NOTE!! ADDENDUM 1. Reference 1810 census. I had previously
mentioned that the 1800 US census for VA had been destroyed. In sorting
through the many papers I have filed somewhat haphazardly, I found a
reference that the Patrick & Henry (plus a few others) counties., 1810
census had been lost (War of 1812 destruction in Washington). The Franklin
census was not destroyed. I also found a page from the census index
maintained in the local library that I had forgotten. In the listings, it
shows Jesse as 11001-41210-00. This listing is a transposition of the male
and female columns I quoted earlier which were (obtained from WFT census
listings) 41210-110100. The significance of this changed listing, is that
if the library listing is the correct listing, then Jesse was 46 or up in
age in 1810 and could have been the Jesse who entered the militia in Henry
Co. in 1777, and if we believe the WFT listing, then he would have been too
young. Although I have a microfilm print of Jesse in the 1820 census, I
apparently did not make a copy of the 1810 census page since the number
listings were printed in the index book.
Do any you have a micro film copy of the 1810 Franklin census to check
which version is correct? It may not prove anything, but all clues help.
ADDENDUM 2. Another found reference - Page from the Franklin Co. Tax lists
for 1786. This report says it is a substitute for the Franklin County
census report of 1790 from which the County was omitted. The tax lists show
3 Chandlers - Daniel, Thomas, and William. Jesse is not listed, so we know
that he did not arrive in Franklin before this date. This listing helps
explain the number of Franklin County marriages (before 1800) that I
mentioned in part three.
The information I had promised for message five (supposed to be the final
message on Jesse) I will put in message six. Sorry for the confusion.

Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/7/98 message)
(Part four)
Note: In my last message I failed to list one pre 1800 marriage in the
area. This was Robert Chandler to Judah Brown in Surry Co., SC (just across
the border and adjacent to Henry Co., VA
The following Jesse Chandlers were recorded in the U.S. Census noted (from
FTM census index CDs)
1790
Jesse, NewCastle Co., DE
Jesse, Newberry Dist. SC
Jesse, Rutland Co., VT
1800
Jesse, Newberry Dist. SC (21010-1001000)
Jesse, Rutland Co., VT (21010-210100)
1810
Jesse, NewCastle Co., DE
Jesse, Plymouth Co., MA
Jesse, Edgefield Dist., SC
Jesse, Greenville, Dist., SC
Jesse, Richland Dist., SC
Jesse, Franklin Co., VA (Age ranges in household - 41210-1100100
1820
Jesse, NewCastle Co., DE
Jesse, NewCastle Co., DE
Jesse, Plymouth Co., MA
Jesse, Franklin Co., VA
I will not list U.S. census results past 1820 since the Franklin Jesse died
in 1828, however I will note a Franklin County 1820 census as listed in
Crickard.
p. 3: Chandler, Jesse
males under 10 - 2 females under 10 - 5
males 16/26 - 1 females 10/26 - 1
males over 45 - 1 females 16/26 - 4
females 26/45 - 2
females over 45 - 1
This census shows us that there were 15 children in the household plus
Jesse and his wife. It also shows that by his age over 45, Jesse was born
(1820 minus 45 = 1775) by 1775 or before.
Jesse is alive in August, 1828 as shown by a bill of sale for cattle,
household goods and fodder, to his son Moses.Jesse is listed in the
document as Jesse Chandler of Franklin Co.
A document (Franklin will book 3, page 160) dated March 18, 1829 is an
inventory and appraisment of Jesse's property. It mentions that he is
deceased, therefore he must have died in late 1828 or early 1829.
A document (Franklin will book 3, page 386) dated July 12, 1831, seems to
be a final accounting of the estate of Jesse and the money paid to various
individuals from the proceeds from the sale of the land. Among the
individuals mentioned are Elizabeth Chandler, Lucy Chandler, Jerusha
Chandler, Moses Chandler, Sarah Chandler and Henry Hodges (Note: Moses
married Elizabeth Hodges in 1825, a record of Moses and Elizabeth and the
Hodges family can be found on a FTM CD).
A document/Indenture (Henry County Deed Book 5, p 14,) dated January 21,
1793, shows a Jesse Chandler of the State of South Carolina selling 100
acres of land to James Spencer. (NOTE the SC designation).
A document (bill of sale - Franklin Co.) dated August 12, 1828 between
Jesse of Franklin Co. and Mose who is mentioned as his heir.
A document (Deed Book 15, p. 41) dated Dec. 3, 1836, between Moses Chandler
of Franklin Co. and Ellison Chavers(?) Indenture....."It being one eight
part of the lands and personal estate which Sally Chandler Widow and
relic(?) of Jesse Chandler Dec. late of Franklin holds as dower estate in
the Estate of Jesse Chandler.
A document (Deed Book 18, p. 440)dated Sept. 7, 1844 between Jerusha
Chandler of Franklin Co......granted and sold unto Charles W. Ashworth all
his interest in the tract of land allotted to Sally Chandler widow and
relict(?) of Jesse Chandler......being one seventh part.. Jesse Chandlers
estate.
Note: I was unsure of where to place the following item in the sequence of
documents and I am not sure of the origin. It is a page from a book that I
can not identify, but perhaps some of you will recognize the item. At the
top of the page is the page number 8 and a title "Gone to Georgia." The
page is composed of 4 numbered paragraphs 12 to 15. Each paragraph is about
a different individual. Paragraph 14 is titled Solomon Chandler
200010-10100-5. I will quote the first half of the paragraph which contains
information that may be relevant to our discussion of Jesse.
"The Chandler family from Southside Virginia, arrived in South Carolina
before the Revolution; among its members was Shadrack, born in Lunenburg
County, Va., c1756. (NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY, March, 1945, p.27;
Stewart, 1800 Pendleton, p. 52) Parkes Chandler (No. 962) was one of the
first settlers in Jackson County. Shadrack moved from Newberry district,
S.C. to Greenville District, S.C., after the war; in 1790, those enumerated
in Newberry included Bailey (No. 554 below), James, Jesse, Johnathan, and
two John Chandlers. Parkes Chandler was granted headright land in
Oglethorpe County, Ga., during the 1790s but did not remain there long.
Solomon K. Chandler was in Greenville District 1790-1800. THE PARAGRAPH
CONTINUES with other information and refers to other numbered paragraphs.
FACTS
There was a Jesse Chandler in Henry Co. VA ( as shown by Henry document
listings).in the period 1777 through 1782. There is no record of him in the
area from this time until he appears on other Henry listings in 1790-91-92.
There was a Jesse Chandler in the Newberry Dist. SC in the 1790 and 1800
census, but no Jesse in VA in either the 1790 or 1800 census (he may have
been present for the 1800 VA census, but this census was destroyed).
There are three Jesses in SC in the 1810 census and one Jesse in Franklin
Co. VA, however the age ranges in the show the oldest male as under 45
(perhaps the mark was placed in the wrong column, since the oldest female,
probably his wife is listed over 45).
A 1793 Henry Co. deed lists a Jesse Chandler of SC.
There are no Chandler marriages in Henry Co. before 1800 in spite of the
presence of a number of male Chandlers (shown in documents deeds - Robert,
Joseph, Jesse, Thomas)., however many Chandlers were married in Franklin
Co. during this period (Benjamin, Daniel, Shadrack, Thomas, William - plus
in Patrick Co. an Issac).
A fact unlisted above (my oversight) is that a Bailey Chandler is mentioned
(1805) the Henry Co. General Index to ended law.... It is a fact that the
article about Solomn Chandler in SC quoted above also mentions a Baily
Chandler - I wonder if they are the same.
MY CONCLUSION (EDUCATED GUESS)
A Jesse Chandler was present in Henry Co., VA as early as 1777. This Jesse
probably moved to SC in the period between 1782 and 1790. This Jesse, or
possibly a son of the same Jesse also named Jesse, moved back to Franklin
Co. VA in 1790. If he arrived late in 1790, he may have missed being
counted in the census. In either circumstance, the Franklin Co. Jesse is
either the son of Joell Chandler as listed in the CFA documents or he is
the grandson of Joell.
Note: Once again I made this part too long, but it is difficult to know
what to leave out. I have told you my conclusions and I will do one more
part in a few days to give additional information on a few of Jesse's
children and grand children, plus some random information about other
Chandlers that may or may not be part of this group.
Your guess is as good as mine - What is your theory about the VA Jesse
Chandler. Please let me know.

Looking for any information whatsoever about Malinda Chandler (Born - about 1820
South Carolina (according to census), Died - Itasca, Hill Co., Texas) married Joseph
Melton Pruitt (Born - 1819 Abbeville County, South Carolina, Died - 5 Mar 1891
Itasca, Hill Co., Texas) on 17 Feb 1842 in Benton County, Alabama. The Benton
County, Alabama Chandlers who could be her father were John Chandler (born
1780-1790) and Richard Chandler (born 1790-1800). Possible brothers were Tyre
Chandler (Born - 1815 South Carolina), Emory Chandler (Born - 1810 South Carolina)
and James Chandler (Born - 1806 South Carolina).
There were a lot of Chandlers in Benton County, Alabama in those days. Does
anyone have them sorted out?
Thanks for any information.

Hello;
I am new to this list, hoping to find out all I can about the Chandler family
of early Chester Co. Pa. in hopes that it will help me research my line of
Garrett's who were very close to this family (as documents show).
They both came from England and bought of William Penn's land in the 1680's,
and in the 1700's moved on to New Castle Co. Del., and my Garrett's then went
on to Loudoun Co. Va. (and always the Chandler name appears with them)
Can anyone give me the information I search for?? Thank you so much in
advance,
Carol Garrett
Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/3/98 message)
(Part three)
There are several items to mention before I plunge into part three. First,
there was a typo on the address for Gayle Keough of the Chandler Family
Association, the correct address is kelsey(a)texramp.net
Gayle also tells me " if they want
membership information they can either contact Joe Burton, President
joeburton(a)mindspring.com or go the CFA Homepage
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7918
The second item is that, as I sort through the papers sent to me by the
Franklin Co. genealogist Mrs. Sigmon. I am finding a lot of information
unconnected to Jesse. At the time she was concentrating on Jesse, but sent
me other tidbits of information relating to various other Chandlers in the
area. At the end of the discussion of Jesse, I will post a list of items
gleaned from the papers. I will not post the source with the item unless
you send me a message and ask where did a specific item come from. I am a
two fingered typist and that will save me a lot of work.
Third item. Does anyone have any information concerning the William
Chandler (02-01-03-00-00) that appears in the 1790. Stokes, NC census?
There is also listed in 1790 a William Chanley (01-03-02-00-00) in Surry
Co., NC that I surmise is a Chandler with a misspelled name. In the 1800
and 1810 Stokes and Surry census, only the Surry William remains. The
listing is (30110-210100).
ON WITH THE JESSE STORY -
A Jesse left footprints (i.e., a track record) in Henry County., VA and
later the same or another Jesse left footprints in Franklin Co., VA, the
county adjacent to and north of Henry County. In 1791 Henry Co. was split
in two parts as Patrick Co., VA was formed. In our consideration of this
sequence of events, we need to list a series of happenings that might help
us make an educated guess at what happened.
1. There is no Jesse listed in the Family Tree Maker (FTM) census CD of
Colonial America 1607-1789. This is not surprising in a collection of
various census records before the first U.S. Census in 1790.
2. There is no record of a Jesse Chandler in Henry Co., VA in the first
U.S. census of 1790. This is also not to surprising, even though Jesse left
many footprints before this census. He may have been missed or may have
been in transit to a new home at the time of the census. There were 3 Jesse
Chandlers listed in this first census. One in DE, one in VT and one in the
Newberry District or SC. (FTM census index).
3. In the US 1800 census, there are 2 Jesses, one in Newberry SC and one in
VT. There is no Jesse in VA - but- the 1800 VA census was destroyed (all
counties except Accomack & Louisa) and does not exist, although some
records have been reconstituted from other sources such as tax records, etc.
4. There are 6 Jesses in the 1810 census. They are located in DE, MA, SC,
SC, SC, and Franklin VA..
5. In the 1820 census, there are only 4 Jesses, 2 in DE, one in MA and one
in Franklin, VA.
At this point, I will list a Jesse Chandler's foot prints in Henry Co. VA
and also a Jesse Chandlers record in the adjacent county of Franklin, VA.
Some of the information I will list is from the CFA research and some is
from the documents supplied to me by Mrs. Sigmon. Some are from both
sources.
1. The CFA documents say; Joel Chandler held some land in common with his
brother Joseph, which they sold jointly in 1743. ...Joell's son Joel did
move to Lunenburg Co. and lived in close association with his Uncle Joseph
Chandler.... The younger Joell, son of Joseph and Priscilla had 6 siblings
named Robert, John, David, Jesse, Timothy, and Rebecca. The Jesse mentioned
is the same Jesse mentioned earlier as born in 1726 in Henrico, Co. VA. In
1754 he was in Cumberland Co. VA and by 1770 on the Pittsylvania Co. Tithe
list. The CFA says that in 1793 he appears on the Henrry Co. Records as
Jesse Chandler of S.C. and in the 1790, 1800, & 1810 census he appears in
Greenville Co., SC.
2. Joseph Chandler (mentioned above) is listed in CFA documents as taking
the oath of Allegiance in Henry Co. in 1778 together with Robert, Bally
(sic), & Jesse. They also list Jesse and John (1782) as submitting claims
for a gun for the militia.
3. From Mrs. Sigmon; A copy of the Henry Co, General Index to Deeds, Trust
Deeds and Miscellaneous Liens. This page is for Grantors and only lists
Chandlers. It shows Robert Chandler 1777..., Joseph Chandler..., 1779,
Jesse Chandler 1793...., and several other listings for Joseph and Thomas
Chandler in 1792 and 1794, plus some more modern Chandler listings for 1926
to 1950.
4. From Mrs. Sigmon; A copy of the Henry Co, "General index to Ended Law &
Chancery County Court. The document has a column for Plaintiffs and one for
Defendants. The Plaintiffs column on this page are all Chandlers. The first
(1777) listing is Jesse "Appointed lieutenant of militia of this county,
Took usual oath to commonwealth." Other Chandler listings are for various
items (payment to witness, etc.) for James, Jesse, Benjamin, John, Joseph,
Thomas (last in 1795). Jesse is listed in 1777, 1780, 1782, 1790, 1792 &
1793.
At this point, I should say that I like to look at marriage records because
they show names between the 10 year US census cycle and they also show
males and females who may not have been listed as the head of a household
in a census. Before 1850 only the names of heads of households were listed
>From FTM marriage CD. Chandler marriages
FRANKLIN Co. (before 1800) (Note, I have photo copies of most of these)
Benjamin Chandler to Jane Fallis 1793
Daniel Chandler to Margaret Roan 1797
Shadrach Chandler to Anne Brummett 1789
Thomas Chandler to Charity Elliott 1787
William Chandler to Jane Douglas 1788
HENRY Co. (before 1800)
none
PATRICK Co. (before 1800)
Issac Chandler to Elizabeth Stultz 1791
John Chandler to Elizabeth Bennett 1794
I see that that Part 3 is much to long, but rather than try to narrow it
down, I will quit and continue in part four. I hope I am not boring you
with this information. Please keep in mind that my Thompson Chandler seems
to have no direct connection with Jesse. I just happen to have this
information and I wanted to pass it on. See you in a few days.

Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/1/98 message)
(Part two)
If you are a Chandler descendant, you should look into the Chandler Family
Association (CFA).
This association is an excellent organization that focuses on Chandler
Family genealogy research and publishes professional research in their
Newsletter (three per year). They have traced the lineage of John Chandler
(landed at Jamestown in 1610). The history has progressed to a time in the
early 1800s and more research is published with each issue of the
Newsletter. It should be noted that there were more than one group of
Chandlers that immigrated to this country and that the CFA research
addresses the group that descended from John Chandler. They have also
published a family index that contains over 65,000 names. I you want more
information, please contact Gayle Keough (e-mail Sec) at kelsey(a)txramp.com
and ask for information (be sure to ask about back issues of the
newsletter).
Two different Jesse Chandlers are noted in the CFA research in their
newsletter. Additionally their special publication "Chandlers in the
American Revolution VA - NC - SC - GA lists 5 Individuals named Jesse
Chandler (not all were Revolution Veterans) who were alive in the period of
the Revolution. This list of 5 includes the two mentioned as being outlined
in the earlier Newsletters.
Of the two Jesses profiled in the CFA newsletter, only one appears to have
the possibility to be the Franklin Co. Jesse under discussion. The
Newsletter (June 1994) is quoted:
"Jesse [Joell, Robt., Robt., John] was born ca 1726 in Henrico Co., Va In
1754 he was in Cumberland Co., VA (WB1, p100) and on the Cumberland Co.
1759 Tithe List. & by 1770 Pittsylvania Co. Tithe list. In 1793 he appears
in Henry Co. records (DB5, p56) as "Jesse Chandler of S.C.". In the U.S.
Census of 1790, 1800, & 1810 Jesse appears in Greenville Co, SC. Neither
Jesse's wife or children's names are known. He may have died after 1810 in
Greenville Co., SC. The SC wills for two contemporary Jesse Chandlers, one
in Abbeville Co. (d. 1804 and one in Richland County, SC."
I should be noted, that in 1790 maps, Henry Co. and Franklin Co., VA are
adjacent - Franklin to the north and Henry to the south on the NC border.
The combined north/south size is about 50 miles. Henry was the wider of the
two and is about 75 miles wide.. In 1791, Henry is split to form an
additional county named Patrick. At this point Henry is only about 25 miles
wide.
A Jesse Chandler does appear in the 1810 Franklin Co., VA census.
(41210-1100100). This indicates that the oldest male is age 21-45 and
oldest female is over 45. It should be noted that the 1800 US census for
this area does not exist. Who is this Jesse Chandler? There are a number of
documents that were gathered by Mrs. Sigmon that seem to indicate that it
may have been the Henry Co. Jesse. Facts against this premise are that the
1793 deed mentioned by the CFA does call him "Jesse Chandler of S.C. This
does not absolutely mean that they are not the same Jesse, he may have
moved to SC and later back to Franklin Co. The 1810 census age recordings
also seem to indicate that the Franklin Co. Jesse was not old enough to
have been the Jesse that was appointed Lt. of Militia in Henry Co. in 1777.
At this point I will quit. I will continue in the next part with documents
relating to the Franklin Jesse and his descendants. It may be after the
weekend before I continue with part 3.
