Hi Mary-
Something tells me we may have corresponded before, perhaps by snail mail ?
Dunno.
What you saw in the post "Too many Samuels" was really a combination of
comments by Estelle [descendant of Martha Melinda Chandler] and me [Linda,
descendant of a Rockingham county, Va. bunch of Chandlers]. The email's format
looked okay when I sent it, but when it came through to the list, it wasn't
exactly clear that two people made the comments.
Anyway, thanks for the info ! I have a note to myself that at one time I
searched for Shadrack, but I don't think I found the right Shadrack, son of
Samuel Chandler and Anna Efferson. The age is wrong. I found this Shadrack of
Fla. [b. 1882], but he is son of William as per 1900 Osceola County, Fla.
census. See below. William is living right next door to a Charles Chandler. I
noticed because both William Chandler and Charles Chandler [below] claim that
their father was born in Mississippi and their mother was born in Louisiana.
A strange coincidence maybe.....or are these folks part of your line ?

Lastly, do you have any idea who Samuel Chandler's parents are [the Samuel I
mean is the one who married Anna Efferson] ?

Our Shadrack Meshack Chandler is believed to be the brother of your Malinda
Chandler. Both appear to have been born in Amite, MS and later moved across
the river to Livingston Parrish, LA.
Shadrack left LA prior to 1860 where he is found in the Hillsborough Co, FL
census living in Tampa. He was married to Adaline Tucker on 30 Jan 1845 in
Springfield, LA. She was d/o Beza Tucker and Mary Kinchen. Adaline was
born in
LA.
Shadrack was the son of Samuel Chandler and Anna Efferson. He was born 23
Dec 1824 and died 16 Apr 1898 in Basinger, FL and is buried there along with
Adeline Tucker.
I descend through Shadrack's daughter, Annie Lucy Chandler, who married Paul
Ernest Gibson of Troup Co, GA and Appalachia, Franklin Co, FL.
