My wife and I purchased a home in Bowling Green, Virginia (Caroline County) about 7 months
ago. The house was built in 1902 and the very first owner was F.W. Chandler. We have
been trying to piece the history of the home together as we are restoring the home. We
have located family members from owners of the home from the 1930s on, but would love to
find out some more information on the original owner...Ferdinand Wiley Chandler.
We have discovered that his father was Algernon Bertrand Chandler and his mother was Julia
Yates Callaghan and that he had brothers and sisters by the names of:
W. Temple Chandler
Algernon Bertrand Chandler, Jr.
John Washington Chandler
Charles Guy Chandler
Julia Yeatts Chandler
Lucy Chandler
Landon Spencer Chandler
Edith Chandler
Unfortunately, we have not been able to find any further information on Ferdinand.
If anyone has information on his birth, marriage(s), children, death, etc we would
appreciate greatly any information you could provide to help us build our historical
library as we continue to renovate/restore the beautiful 1902 Victorian that Ferdinand had
built...we had heard it was a wedding gift, but cannot be sure of that.
Please email your responses to kbarnett(a)bism.com
Sincerely,
Ken and Mary Barnett
