Hi I am new to the list and I researching the following Chandler Family.
Edwin Reed/Read Chandler born in NY married Eliza Jane Sharp or Manning. Edwin
was a fireman and died in the line of duty between 1865 and 1870 (probably in
the Brooklyn, NY area) Their youngest child (my g-grandmother, Harriet
Elizabeth Chandler was born 3/25/1866 and he is not listed in the 1870 census)
Eliza is listed in the 1870 NY census in the 14th Ward with the following
people in the house.
Eliza Chandler, 39years old, keeps house, birth place NY, parents foreign born
John, 20, rule (r) (w) (m), born in NY
Edwin, 17, laborer, NY
William, 14, born in NY
David, 10, born in NY
Harriet, 5, born in NY, she married Benjamin Pease/Pease Baldwin
Mary, 90, at home, born in NY (possibly Edwin's mother)
Eliza remarried to George Oakley. There was a Daniel Oakley and family living
by them in the 1870 census (same census page as Eliza) so he might have been
related.
Any help on the Chandler families from Brooklyn, I would really appreciate.
Sincerely,
Sue Baldwin Coyle
