Jesse Chandler of Henry and Franklin Co., VA (continued from 12/9/98 message) (Part five) PLEASE NOTE!! ADDENDUM 1. Reference 1810 census. I had previously mentioned that the 1800 US census for VA had been destroyed. In sorting through the many papers I have filed somewhat haphazardly, I found a reference that the Patrick & Henry (plus a few others) counties., 1810 census had been lost (War of 1812 destruction in Washington). The Franklin census was not destroyed. I also found a page from the census index maintained in the local library that I had forgotten. In the listings, it shows Jesse as 11001-41210-00. This listing is a transposition of the male and female columns I quoted earlier which were (obtained from WFT census listings) 41210-110100. The significance of this changed listing, is that if the library listing is the correct listing, then Jesse was 46 or up in age in 1810 and could have been the Jesse who entered the militia in Henry Co. in 1777, and if we believe the WFT listing, then he would have been too young. Although I have a microfilm print of Jesse in the 1820 census, I apparently did not make a copy of the 1810 census page since the number listings were printed in the index book. Do any you have a micro film copy of the 1810 Franklin census to check which version is correct? It may not prove anything, but all clues help. ADDENDUM 2. Another found reference - Page from the Franklin Co. Tax lists for 1786. This report says it is a substitute for the Franklin County census report of 1790 from which the County was omitted. The tax lists show 3 Chandlers - Daniel, Thomas, and William. Jesse is not listed, so we know that he did not arrive in Franklin before this date. This listing helps explain the number of Franklin County marriages (before 1800) that I mentioned in part three. The information I had promised for message five (supposed to be the final message on Jesse) I will put in message six. Sorry for the confusion. Tom Dr. H.
