William CHANDLER, the father supposedly lived with his parents, Zachariah
CHANDLER and Sarah ECKLES in Franklin County and Coweta County, GA prior to
moving to Perry County, Alabama. (This connection has not been proven.) He
was listed in the 1840 Federal Census still living in Perry Co, AL. He then
moved his family from Alabama to El Dorado, Arkansas. I'm sure he traveled
through MS but I haven't been successful in locating him there. He died
after being given a bad smallpox vaccine. He was a hotel owner, of
"Chandler's Tavern" and was acting sheriff upon his death in 1863 during
the
Civil War. After his death, his hotel in El Dorado was sold to the Armstrong
family and became known as the "Armstrong Hotel".
Any connecting information on this family will be appreciated.
