Benay,
Your Mama Chandler sounds like mine.My grandfather is William Frank
Chandler born
April 1905 and died October 1983 in Colbert Co AL. My dad knows only
that her name was Ada, can't remember what her second husbands last name
is, nor where
grandpa was born. Her first husband was a Davis and had 3 children who
lived and died
in Russellville, AL. With her second husband she had aunt Ginny who
lived and died in
Tuscumbia, AL. Next was Chandler. I know that grandpa had an older
half-brother,
Chester, who died in the 1930's. Her last husband was a McDowell and
had Moses who died in Mobile AL and Calvin, who I understand died in TX.
Because of all the unanwered questions, I finally broke down and ordered
Social Security information on my paternal grandparents and maternal
grandmother. I may have
to order the same on my great-uncles to get their father's names.
All I have to say is, Ada must have been one healthy woman to have 7
children and out
live 4 husbands in her lifetime.
