I haven't been able to connect Sereno Chandler with the Sylvanus Chandler family also
of Union, Story County in the same time period. It seems to me they were practically
neighbors and I would think there would be some connection. He isn't Sylvanus' son
at least he wasn't mentioned in the Story County court petition following
Sylvanus's death. I have Sereno as living in Story County in 1856. I have names of
children, some marriages and some death information.
I also have a William Chandler from Story County that I haven't been able to connect
with the Sylvanus Chandler clan except that William's daughter Medora married Sylvanus
son Elbridge. All Chandler families seem to originate in Maine.
I'd be very happy to share with you what I have and hopefully we can better see how
everyone is related.
