Looking for Thilman Chandler, born somewhere c. 1796. Thilman is in the 1830
census of Caroline County VA. He does not show up in the 1810 or 1820
census of Virginia nor is he in the 1840 census of Caroline County. However,
Thilman is recorded in separate records as marrying Ursula Chandler in 1821
with Thurman Grymes as the bondsman, then as the bondsman for Thurman Grymes
in 1821 and for Thomas Grymes in 1827, with all three marriages taking place
in Caroline county. Makes you wonder if these folks are related or just
neighbors.
His widow Ursilla (Ursula Chandler) and six or seven children show up in
the 1850 census of Caroline County. I say six or seven because I don't know
if Martha A. Chandler, listed as a household member, is a daughter of
Thilman or the wife of son, Lindsy (Lindsay) Chandler.
In 1860 the family shows up in the Hanover County census. Ursula is missing,
either deceased or incorrectly recorded as Priscilla (age 50), Linsy is
absent (don't know where he is in 1860, but he
shows up again in the 1870 and 1880 Hanover County census as married to a
Martha Chandler), a Thomas Chandler is now listed in the household and two
additional children Virginia 8, and John 3, are listed.
Gouldman, Harman, Isaac, and Thilman Chandler are all listed on Reel 197,
page 183 of the 1830 Virginia census for Caroline County. I presume these
folks are related, but I have no evidence of that.
Here is the 1850 Caroline County Chandler household
Ursula (50)
Mary J (19)
Francis A. (18)
Martha A (25)
Sarah A (27 or 23)
Lydia (14)
Andrew (18)
Lindsay (26)
Here is the 1860 Hanover Chandler household
Mary (25) - Is this Mary J ?
Lizzie (20) - Is this Lydia in the 1850 census?
Andrew (23)
Virginia (8)
John (3)
Priscilla (50) - this is probably Ursilla
Thomas (30) - Who is this?
Martha (25) - Is this the Martha who was 25 in the 1850 census?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Chandler list,
My name is Jim Martin. I joined this list in the hopes of finding more
information on my Chandlers and possibly meeting 'new' cousins as in other
groups I belong to. Originally from Sacramento, California my home is
Massachusetts, very near the towns of Roxbury and Andover where my Chandlers
settled in the 16 and 1700's. I've been researching and finding burial
sites of other ancestors in the Groton, Mass. area so haven't really done
that much of the same with the Chandlers in their respective towns. I have
searched some cemeteries in Andover and have found aunts, uncles, and
cousins but no direct Chandler ancestors as of yet...still looking whenever
I can. The list below shows my relationship to the Chandlers and ends with
my maternal grandparents (Nelson-Kitts):

Any of these people familiar to you? I would love to share information
although I may not have that much at the moment. My proximity to Andover
should change that in the near future though. Looking forward to hearing
from any cousins.
Thanks.
