Richard, I, too, have a Shadrack M. Chandler, who was the son of Samuel Chandler and Elizabeth ? (we think, Lisbon). Samuel was born in Rockingham, Harrisburg, VA, in 1803 d. 25 Sept 1882 and b. Old Amite Bapt Church, Livingston Parrish, LA. Shadrack was born in Amite Co., MS, on 23 Feb 1824 and d. Basinger, Osceola Co, FL on 16 April 1898. Shadrack and wife, Adaline Tucker, were md. in 1845 in Livingston Parrish, LA. In the 1860's they moved to Tampa, Florida and then on to Osceola, Co. Shadrack and Adeline had 10 children: Samantha Chandler 1846-1934 md. William Underhill Licentia Chandler b. 1848 md. Peyton S. Pearce Willis Wells 1850-1930 md. Ada K.

Maude Snell Charles H. L. 1866-1922 md. Ida Elizabeth Raulerson' Annie Lucy 1869 - 1900 md. Paul E. Gibson Maybe our Shadracks were cousins! Does anyone have any information about these Chandlers???
