OZAR'KIN, Vol. IV, No. 4 Winter 1982 Descendants of Joseph Chandler, cont. I'm not sure when Thomas B. CHANDLER and his family left North Carolina and came to Missouri, but according to the l860 Webster Co, MO census, they probably came about 1858, as their son John S. was four years old, born in NC and his s is ter, Elizabeth D. was two years old and born in Missouri. (Note: 1870 Webster Co Census shows John S. born in M0.) Eleven children were born to this union, as follows : I ) l.
