Looking for the parents and siblings of Thilman Chandler. According to the
LDS Family History Center film: 446288, Endowments for the dead, Thilman was
born c. 1796. Thilman married Ursilla Chandler August 7, 1821 (Theresa
Fischer book of marriages). Thilman was the bondsman for the marriages of
both Thomas and Turner Grymes of Caroline County. The only federal census I
could find for Thilman was the 1830 census of Caroline County where he is
listed with his wife, one minor male, and two minor females. He nor his
wife, Ursilla, are listed in the 1840 census (very strange). Ursilla is
listed in the 1850 census of Caroline County VA living in the same household
with two male and five female Chandler's, presumably her children. The 1860
Federal census has Ursilla and family living in Hanover county, VA. A Thomas
Chandler, who was not living in the Ursilla household in 1850, is now listed
in the household with Virginia Chandler, age 8, and John Chandler age 3. I'm
not sure, but I think Thomas married Ursilla's daughter Mary J. Chandler
sometime after the 1850 census. I also think the two children Vieginia and
John are theirs. I found a Mary J and Thomas C Chandler living in the sanme
household in the 1870 census of Caroline County VA. ANd then in the 1880
census of Caroline County I found a Thomas C. Chandler living with a
Vurginia Chandler.
Any help is appreciated.
