Hi Diane
We have a descendant of Rev Isaac Chanler in the Chandler DNA project. The
little we know about Rev Isaac is quoted below from our Project Report:
Rev. Isaac Chanler of Ashley River, South Carolina
REV. ISAAC CHANLER is said by some to have been born at Bristol, England, in
1700, while others (including a family biographer) suggest a somewhat
earlier birth date at an unknown place. He was a minister on Ashley River
near Charleston, SC, from about 1733 until his death in 1749. He left a long
and interesting will dated May 20, 1749. His son ISAAC took his medical
degree at the University of Edinburgh before returning home, where he was
among the founders of what became the Medical University of South Carolina.
The surname of this line is consistently spelled "CHANLER" in recent times,
but consistent spelling is not to be expected before the 19th century. We
have already included one descendant in the project and hope to include at
least one more to pin down the ancestral DNA pattern.
Additionally, Diane, there is a Pedigree Resource File submission on the
FamilySearch web site showing him as a Baptist Minister born Bristol England
1701 (elsewhere I have read May 10, 1700) died 30 Nov 1749 in or near
Charleston SC, wife Elizabeth Hunley born Uxbridge England died 1774. The
submitter was Llewellyn Toulmin of 13108 Hutchinson Way, Silver Spring, MD
20906. It may be worth writing to him to see if he has more information.
We would be very interested to hear from you with any additional information
you or your Mom find out about this line e.g. details about Mary Chanler's
marriage to William Morgan - anything like that.
Finally, I should point out that this CHANDLER mailing list is fairly
inactive these days. There is more action on the Chandler board at Rootsweb
which is copied to the CHANDLER-L mailing list, not this one, and I would
advise you to post your enquiry there

Best wishes to you and your Mom

Subject: [CHANDLER] Rev. Isaac Chanler
Hello............
Currently I am in the middle of Texas with my elderly parents and
nowhere near an LDS library.
Is there someone who knows about the Chanlers of the Charleston area in
South Carolina? I believe it was through reported newspaper entries
that we learned that Mary Chanler, daughter of Rev. Isaac Chanler and
William Morgan were married. I don't remember the exact date as I don't
have my papers in front of me right now but I think it was the earlier
1770s. Willaim and Mary were my 5th G.Grandparents.
If there is anyone with information about these people we would love to
hear from you. My Mom is 89 years old, and I can't tell you what all
this new availability of information has meant for her. I find clues at
night when I'm up here in the RV that we stay in while here; give them
to her and she does "her rsearch" to find more. This stuff keeps her
sharp and interested, and GOING. So I'm looking for more information,
not just for our research which we all want, but for "her" research. So
if someone has some information they can share; I will show her a little
"clue" that I "found" and let her do the research to "find"
the rest of
it. They say that the people of do this mental exercising with the
computer are living longer and I truely believe it. I'm watching it.
Thank you, in advance..............
Diane
