Do you know if your John lived with a Granny Nancy JAmes or granny Nancy at any time. My Aunt said she always heard that John was born Dec. 27? 1855 and his mother died soon after his birth. He was raised by a Granny JAmes. They moved to Carroll Co. Tenn. in 1856. We found him in 1860 with them. That is to say if it's true. I don't know because on his death certificate it states Alabama. is his birth place. My Grandpa Solon is the one who was witness to his death and signed the paper. So I don't know. I do know what happened when he met Viola and then on. Would love to know more about your John to see if he could be ours. I know they lived in Limestone Co. Alabama in 1893 till they moved to Lamar Co. to Howland , Texas. It's a little ways out of Paris, Texas. There has to be family there. He has a Half-brother that was born there to a Edna Trout and William Chandler. I think this William has more to his name than William. There is a William Robert Chandler along with s! ome others. There was a G. Chandler that moved there in 1860. The John we found in 1870 had a family with a sister Elizabeth, wife, and a son George L. Chandler. The son was not very old. My John 's oldest daughter Nettie Ann married a Marvin Oliver Womack in Paris, Texas. Also another daughter Maggie married a David Land. Rosa Etta married a Maynard. Bertha
