Descendants of Joseph Chandler, cont.
I'm not sure when Thomas B. CHANDLER and his family left North
Carolina and came
to Missouri, but according to the l860 Webster Co, MO census,
they probably
came about 1858, as their son John S. was four years old, born
in NC and his
s is ter, Elizabeth D. was two years old and born in
Missouri. (Note: 1870 Webster
Co Census shows John S. born in M0.)
