Message Board Post:
Per the CFA DNA project, you and I are definitely cousins. You must be descended of
George Chandler who left Sussex County, Delaware sometime after 1831 (his son, Robert, was
born here in 1831) and per family lore "went West" which appears to be Ohio and
Indiana.
The Chandler family lore states that there were three brothers and one went West. Those
three brothers were: George (your line), William (my line) and James (another line still
here in Delaware).
There are two others whose DNA is close but off by a couple hundred years. Their ancestor
came from Virginia as did our Chandler ancestor per family lore.
I am hoping to convince a descendant of James to submit DNA for the CFA DNA project as
well as proof positive of the blood connection. I have found that some descendents of
James Chandler have bad information and it has been taken as gospel. My documentation
states otherwise.
I look forward to hearing from you and sharing what I've been able to glean about our
Chandler ancestor(s) elusive peoples that they are.
Teresa
