I'm new to this list and have been lurking for several days hoping to see some action on the list. Not having seen any in about a week, I'm just going to jump in, pose my question, and hope that some kind soul who is further along might have the information I seek. I am descended from the subject William Chandler through his daughter, Betty (Elizabeth), that married John LeGrand. (My lineage goes from LeGrand to Palmer to Greenwade to McCown -- almost a straight maternal one.) William Chandler's will, dated 9 Mar 1779, proved 20 May 1779, in Halifax County, VA, named wife Judith; sons Robert, William, Timothy, John, Frederick, and Shadrack; daughters Susanna Lax, Bettey LeGrand, Hannah Smallman, Keziah, and Mary Ann. I have received some information that William's roots are back in New Kent County, Va., and that his father was Robert Chandler (m. Elizabeth ____). From my limited research in primary records to date, I would have to conclude that Robert Chandler of New Kent was probably his grandfather, but not his father. Does anyone have information on this line of Chandlers that they are willing to share (or just some good pointers will do) on who might actually be the parents of William Chandler of Halifax County? And who his wife, Judith, might have been? Thanks for any help. Lou Poole, Richardson, TX ([email protected])
