Seeking info on the Chandler family that appears on the 1850 Lee County, Iowa census.
"Rosell" Russell M (ack) Chandler 43 VA
Matilda (Nelson) Chandler 39 NC
David A. Chandler 18 TN
Wade H. Chandler 16 TN
Joseph Chandler 14 TN
perhaps Rosell M. Chandler 12 TN
Hannah Chandler 10 TN
Elizabeth Chandler 10 TN
(the above two twin sisters)
Thomas M. Chandler 9 TN
Martha Chandler 6 TN
Elkanah Chandler 3 IA
This family apparently came to Iowa from Tennessee abt. 1847. I believe the parents of the
children died in Lee County, Iowa abt. 1850-1856.
Son Joseph Chandler married Lydia Winger and lived in Putnam Co, MO, in Wayne Co, IA, and
in Grundy Co, MO where he died.
Daughter Elizabeth Chandler married Samuel Winger and lived in Putnam Co, MO and in Grundy
Co, MO where she died.
Son "Elkanah" Elcania D. Chandler married first Sarah Jane Pearson and may have
lived in Putnam Co, MO and/or Scotland Co, MO/Schulyer Co, MO.
Both Joseph and Elcania fought in the Civil War.
This family may have lived in Jefferson Co, TN before moving to Iowa.
This is about all the info I have on this family. Does anyone recognize?
