Do you know what the initial 'B' stood for? Was his name John Bethel Chandler, or was that the name of a son? Do you know when he was born? The date could help pin down who he was, and possibly who his parents were. Do you have a clue abt. his parents? Who was the wife of John B. Chandler? What about the names of any children? Often those names provide excellent clues about grandparents. Annamae Barber Chandler has several John B. Chandlers listed in her Chandler book, but not a John Bethel Chandler. However, he may be one of the John B. Chandlers in the book, if you could provide a bit more to go on. John Bethel is not a name I've run across in my Chandler line, as yet. That is not to say it isn't there! The Chandlers were a huge family, and he may very well be amidst the many offspring.
