It took me awhile to digest your brainstorming, but I appreciate all of it. I have not did any research on the Phelps connection. The information I have is from a cousin that is deep into genealogy. I will try to respond to some of the questions you have ask the best I can. First, I am not sure that Patsy's parents were John & unknown Phelps. I do have documentation supporting the marriage between Patsy and William dated Sept 21, 1817. Service was performed by a William Anderson in Grayson County. Secondly, I have conflicting birthplaces on Patsy. One source shows Patsy born in Madison Co, KY, while another source shows she was born in Indiania. One source shows she died in Spencer Co, In before the 1850 Census. The 1850 census on Spencer Co did not show Patsy with William. He was a farmer and 53 years old and had his three youngest children living with him. He remarried 3 years later to a Amy Bysum in Clark County. (she is buried at the Baird-Barr cemetery) Julius Chancellor (Jules Chanclor) was William's Father. He was born in 1764 in Goochland VA and married Alvina Sneed in 1792 in Albemarle Co. VA. They had four children: John Chancellor (Chansley) born May 16, 1793, I have his wife as Rebecca C. Abney?? They were married Aug 5, 1812 in Bulter Co. Ky. William & Sally Chancellor (Chansley) were twins and born Jan. 04, 1795. And finally Julius Thomas Chancellor (Chansley) was born June 6, 1799. I show William in Spencer Co. IN when the 1850 Census was Conducted I show William in Warrick Co. IN on the 1840 Census, also there was a William on the Knox Co. Census. He I think he was a little younger. Next, the 1830 Census shows both William and John Chancellor in Knox Co. IN. and I have land records showing John owning land in Clark Co. IL in 1831 and later. The 1820 Census shows William & John in Morgantown, Butler Co. Ky. You ask if William & Patsy lived in Spencer Co, IN and one of my souces show 3 of his children were born in Spencer Co., IN. One last comment: I have found Chancellor spelled as Chansley, Chanclour, Chancler, Chansler, Chanclor, its only in the eyes of the census taker on the spelling. Mary, now I have rambled on long enough so I will sign off for now. Have a great day! & stay warm Rick Chancellor ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
