Hello Tom,
Your information on Jesse Chandler was most interesting to me, as it covers
the same time frame and general locations of my own personal 'brick wall'...
I would like to know if your Chandler material mentions a JOEL CHANDLER who
lived in Lunenburg Co., VA, before the Revolutionary War, and later lived in
Greenville Co., SC. I descend from his daughter, Millandra Chandler, who
married Moses Sullivan, son of Charles Sullivan, both of whom gave service
from Greenville Co. during the Revolution.
JOEL, as well as Moses, Charles, and several dozen more, are listed on a DAR
monument in Greenville County. Also mentioned are Solomon and Shadrack
Chandler.
There are so many Joel Chandlers of the appropriate age range in and around
Lunenburg County, and I have not been able to pinpoint his parents. He did
sign a proclamation in this county at the beginning of the War...something
about British money no longer usable within their county, I believe. This is
confirmed by information given in Greenville County which states he was the
same individual who signed the VA proclamation.
I realize this is grasping at straws, but I am reduced to desperate measures
with this Chandler!
Thank you,
LaRae Halsey-Brooks
