I show a Joseph M. Chandler b. 1801 Fayette Co., KY as being the brother of
my ancestor. I show that Joseph had a daughter Mary A. E. Chandler but that
she was married to John F. Whitaker m. Dec 24, 1858 in MO.
I do not show any Hamilton surnames listed in my information but have
followed mostly my direct lineage. If you wish to correspond further,
please feel free to contact me.

Hi All
Among my late wife's possessions is a very small leather bound book of
Psalms and Hymns (dimensions approximately 3 1/4 " x 2" x 1 1/2 " thick).
The book was printed in 1804 in Boston. On the front inside cover is the
name Joseph Chandler with no date. Inside the back cover is the notation
that Joseph Chandler gave the book to his granddaughter M. A. Hamilton in
1843. The note also says that that it was given to her a year prior to her
marriage.
Also, in the book is a nameplate which states the the book if from the
Library of Mary A. Chandler Hamilton. The nameplate also has the Chandler
Crest.
I do not know how the book came into my wife's possession. I have studied
my wife's family and cannot find a Hamilton or Chandler line but their
might be a collertal line which I have not pursued. Also, my wife may have
picked it up at a bookstore or flea market.
If anyone can identify for me this Joseph Chandler and/or his
granddaughter Mary A. Chandler Hamilton, I will be eternally grateful.
Regards
William Wynn
