Need parents and spouse of William Chandler, born abt.1800 NC, who married Elizabeth about
1829 and had children born in VA and KY: Ellen b. 15 Jan 1830, Stephen, Macon Frances,
Rebecca b. 1835-1837,Warren, Parthena Caroline, William, Salina, Mary, Thomas H. b. 6 Mar
1850 Trigg Co, or Graves Co, KY. Family on 1840 census of Trigg, KY, to Graves Co. by
1850, then to TX, possibly first in Houston Co, then Leon Co, TX. William died before
1850 census of Leon Co, TX. Elizabeth and family stayed in Leon. Rebecca married Sterling
Dupree about 1852. They both died during the Civil War. The first six children of William
and Elizabeth were born in VA. Did they move to KY from Halifax co or Chesterfield Co,
VA, as did so many Graves Co, KY families? Is William's 1800 birthplace of NC in
error, or did he spend some time VA? Would appreciate any help on this family.
