My great-great grandfather was Luke Randolph Chandler about whom I know only the following: born 25 March 1808 in VA, married Sarah Ann McFarlane ca 1832 in either TN or AL, died 24 May 1880, Jackson Co., AL. His children were Sophia Ann, Francis Marion, Martha Virginia, Henrietta, Robert, Joseph, Matthew, Mary, and Andrew Jackson. On 29 June 1837, a court document in Madison Co., AL, reads: "Luke R. Chandler for love and affection for his wife Sarah and their children, conveys to Henry S. Chandler as trustee, slaves." In that same year a Matthew Chandler had died intestate in Madison Co., AL, and John Chandler of TN was made administrator of the estate. I wonder if the slaves transferred to Henry Chandler by Luke Chandler could have been part of the estate settlement of Matthew Chandler. This would likely make Matthew, Luke, John, and Henry relatives. There is also a William R. Chandler in Madison Co., AL, at that time whose children have names suggesting a kinship. I would appreciate any help with this group of Chandlers - or clues to their VA forebears. Carolyn
