There should have been documentation, but it may have been lost over time. Worcester apparently had some stuff lost to a fire at some point, and I do not recall what was lost. Just as a note - many of my Vincent folk who were always listed as being in Delaware for census purposes left a lot of probate/land records in Worcester. I speculate that their properties may have straddled the lines, and it may have been a shorter ride to Worcester than to Georgetown. Elizabeth In a message dated 11/27/2012 9:36:42 P.M.

Whilst looking through Worcester County Orphans Court records for a client, I happened upon records for an Ursula Chandler who was to produce an Accounting for the estate of her deceased spouse, William Chandler. Later, she was cited for not bonding out her sons, Custis and Solomon. This is exciting! I am about 85% certian that Custis Chandler of Worcester County, Maryland is my Augustus/Custis Chandler of Baltimore Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware that appears in early 1800's tax lists. The only thing is, I cannot find the initial, second or third requests for the Accounting, nor can I find an actual Accounting. Also, would Ursula have been forced to put her sons into servitude/apprenticeship? And wouldn't that have been documented? Otherwise, this is an exciting find and I can't wait to get busy digging around Worcester County to see if I can find more evidence of these Chandler ancestors! Teresa A.
