    3. Hi Sandi, I still have the information you sent me about the death record, I just haven't had time to update the page yet. But I will get it done. I don't have as much time to do updates like I used to, since I went back to work full time. It drives me crazy! <G> I plan on changing the source information so that researchers will know they are transcribed from a copy of a transcript, and may contain errors, it does state that on the main page of the website not to accept anything as FACT until you have checked it out yourself. I figured there were errors in the records, but still thought they may prove helpful to researchers, just like the WPA Indexes. I made a copy of the transcripts to help decipher some of the old tombstones as I was working on the burial index. I decided to go ahead and put some of them online. Do I have the right cemetery for John? I know there is a John Chandler buried in Union Cemetery. If it is the same John have you ordered his Pension file to see if it has more information about his family? Have you checked into the Henry Chandler family that is listed in Jackson Township, on the 1840 census? He had several sons, one would have been the right age for John. There is also a Joseph Chandler listed in the household as being 87 yrs old and a Rev. War Veteran. I believe Henry was in Kentucky on the 1830 census.
