Lois,
The John III and Patience Chandler, who are in my direct line, did have a son named
Mitchell. However, Mitchell lived in the last half of the 1700's. Henry Chandler, it
appears from your e-mail, lived in the late1800's. Incidentally, John III was my
gggggggrandfather.
The name David that you mentioned does not ring a bell. There was no David Chandler in
the family.
There was another Mitchell Chandler who lived in the second half of the 1800's.
However, I am not familiar with his ancestry.
Therefore, while I know that there were Chandlers who were slaveholders, I don't think
that there is the sort of connection to which you refer.
I hope this helps.
Also, I am attempting to trace my Chandler line as far back as possible. I would
appreciate it very much if you could e-mail me the e-mail addresses of the people you have
been speaking with regarding the Chandler's from the 1200's and the 1500's.
You can e-mail me directly at sdchandler(a)worldnet.att.net.
Thanks,
Steve
