I have recently learned that the mother of my Robert T. Chandler and his
siblings, John H. Chandler, Japheth D. Chandler, Mildred Chandler, Sarah
Chandler, Adaline Chandler, Jane Chandler, and probably Rebecca Chandler
was Deborah Chandler who died intestate in 1848. James Hampton Watts
who married Jane Chandler was named "heir by law" and appointed guardian
of my Robert T., Sarah, and Adaline who were minors at the time. With
the exception of Japheth who married Margaret Adams in 1850 and stayed
in Halifax Co, the rest including the Watts migrated to Graves Co, KY in
1849. In August of 1849, a Daniel Fulkerson was appointed administrator
of Deborah's estate. A Jane Fulkerson and her household accompanied the
Chandlers and Watts on the move to KY and all settled in the Baltimore
community of Graves Co. Does anyone have any information on these
Chandlers, Watts, or Fulkersons?
