I received so much help this past week from people on this list I thought I might pay back some of the generosity with some information that I found this past weekend at the library. The following information may be old news to advanced Chandler researchers (and I'd appreciate their evaluation of it), but to almost all who sent me information, I think the following will be new. 1) I may have found "another" son of John Chandler, the immigrant. John Chandler achieved prominence (and apparently influence) in connection with his being named a Burgess in 1645/46 and 1647/48. Then in Patent Book 4, p. 75 (reference Nugent's "Cavaliers & Pioneers," Vol. 1, p. 341), I found: "Mr. John Chandler, 1500 acs. Northumberland Co., 28 Jan. 1656. Upon certain branches of Wicocomico & Chichacone Rivers, on the left hand of a path that goes from Chichacone to Morraticon; 800 acs. bounding N.W. upon sd. path &c; 600 acs. Nly. upon a line which crosses a great branch of Chichacone called Snake Sw., Ely upon land of Francis Clay & 100 acs. adj. these two tracts. Trans. of 30 pers: Jno. Brigges, Anth. Taylor, Ja. Francis, Anne Stannenite, Jane Catesby, Jno. Stubb, Marg. Francklin, Jno. Lea. Marg. Morfrey, Tho. Woodham, Roger Stilwell, Wm. Mace, Nich. Prichard, Nich. Thomas, Roger Moore, Wm. Morrice, Est. Fenton, Henry Stanley, Jno. Tucker, Charles Thompson, Marg. Long, Jere. Cottrell, Nich. Spront (or Sprout), Hen. Copley, Nich. Wazon, Hump. Smith, Zach. Foster, Wm. Robinson, Alice May, Samuell Dobson. Renewed 1663." And then I found: "Mr. Danll. Chandler, sonne & heire of Mr. Jno. Chandler, dec'd, 350 acs. N'umberland Co., S.E. side of Chicka-cone Riv., 6 Jan 1668. Adj. Mr. Cortan (or Corsan), & the bridge Cr. Grandted sd. John 28 Jan 1656, renewed 11 Jan. 1663, & due sd. Dan'l as above." [Patent Bk 6, p. 206] "Mr. Danl. Chandler, sonne & heire of Mr. John Chandler, dec'd, 1500 acs. N'umberland Co., upon branches of Wiccocomoco & Chickacone Rivs., on the left hand of path from Chickacone to Moraticon; 6 Jan 1668. 800 acs. part upon Moraticon Path; 600 acs crossing Snake Sw., a gr. Br. Of Chiccacone & adj. Mr. Fra. Clay; & 100 acs. adj. Granted sd. John 28 Jan 1656, renewed 11 Jan 1663, & now due as above." [Patent Bk 6, p. 207] I think these patents establish that John, the immigrant, had a son named Daniel, doesn't it? I've not had a chance, yet, to investigate what became of Daniel. 2) In checking out the Lunenburg (and surrounding areas) ca. 1750 for the William Chandler who left a will in Halifax dated 1779, I found no less than 5 different William Chandlers. 1) was the William Chandler (wife Judith) who left the will in Halifax in 1779. 2) was his son (with wife Judith, also). 3) was the son of Joseph Chandler (brother of the first William) who I think the records show, was the one who married Delita Cox, daughter of John and Mary Cox of Lunenburg. John Cox's will specifically mentions daughter Delita Chandler, and her two daughters, Rebecca and Keziah. And I found two deed records that name John Chandler, and his wife Delita -- one example: "1 Nov 1757 - William Chandler & Delitia his wife to Robert Eastice Junr., all of Lunenburg Co., 70 pounds, 200 acres, Lunenburg Co., on both sides Snead's Crk., by branch in Tyree Glen's line, adj. Joseph Chandler Junr. SE to Haner Smithson, SW to Jesse Brown, NW to James Williams, NW to Tyree Glen. Rec: 1 Nov 1757 Sig: William Chandler, Delisher Chandler Delishia, wife of Chandler, relinquished her dower right." [Lunenburg Deed Book 5, pp. 73-75] I've tried to correlate locations, dates, witnesses, etc., and have concluded in my own mind that the above William was definitely the son of Joseph. But what really surprised me, because I couldn't find these on any of the GedComs that people sent me, were William 4) and William 5) (and Abraham): 2 June 1748 "Church Wardens of Parish of Cumberland bind out (according to law) Wm Chandler, son of Wm Chandler decd, to Benjamin Dixon, son of Thos. Dixon." [Lunenburg Order Book 2, p. 11] 4 Jul 1750 "Churchwardens of Cumberland Parish bind out Abraham Chandler, son of Wm Chandler to Mathew Talbot Gent." [Lunenburg Order Book 2, p. 298] I would think that the above William, Jr. (the one who was bound out in 1748) might be a candidate for the "lost" William that some folks told me about. Good hunting to you all. Thanks to you folks, I've made excellent progress on my own quest in the last week. Lou Poole, Richardson, TX ([email protected])
