Hi Gina, On your death records page, you have the following death record: Death Record Form Deceased Name = John Chandler Gender = Male Date of Death = May 23, 1892 Cause of Death = Brights Disease Age =71 Father's Name = Andrew Chandler Mother's Name = Sarah M. Mother's Maiden Name = Mullin Place of Interment = Union Cemetery Source = County Death Book Your Name = Gina Richardson Reply Email = [email protected] We emailed about this some time ago and I believe you copied these records from some records at the Muncie Library. I would like to get this record set straight somewhere officially (and this is as near to official as I know) or get it removed from the internet. Andrew Chandler and Sarah M. Mullin are NOT John Chandler's parents. When I checked with the Clerk and Recorders Office in Randolph County, they said there were no parents listed for John on his death record. Evidently, this was a transcription error and someone missed a page in between John's record and the next death record. I believe this is probably a death record of a Clevenger who was the child of Andrew Clevenger and Sarah M. Mullin. In doing some further research, I found that Sarah Mullin was married to Andrew Clevenger, not an Andrew Chandler. I am in Colorado, not Indiana, or I would go to the Clerk's Office to see if the next record is indeed Andrew Clevenger and Sarah Mullin's child, but in any case, the Clerk and Recorder's Office says there are no parents listed for John Chandler. Thanks for your help in getting this straightened out! And thanks for all the rest of your hard work in making this one of the best USgenweb county websites there is! Sandie Chandler Goeglein P.S. By the way, I'm still searching for who John Chandler's parents really were!!! John was married to Elizabeth Ellen Thornburg in 1847, born approximately 1822 whereabouts unknown-North Carolina or Kentucky probably; died May 23, 1892, Randolph County, Indiana.
Did you contact the county clerk's office for this death record or did you contact the county health dept? County Health Dept has birth and death records from 1882 to present. County Clerk's office has marriage records & applications, probate records, wills, civil court matters, superior court matters, divorce records. Andrea
