Lee, I offer the following information in the (remote?) possibility that there may be a connection to your Kerren Happuck. My 3rd great grandfather, Richard Chandler, was born in VA 1770-80, and died about 1834 in Blount, TN. He married Catherine Porter 13 Feb 1798 in Wythe, VA, and migrated to Blount, TN about 1801. We have a great deal of information about Richard's descendants, but don't have any solid information about Richard's birthplace, parents or siblings. Annamae B. Chandler, in her book "William Chandler 1700-1748" speculates that my Richard is the son of Isaac Chandler born 15 Apr 1732 in Amelia, VA and died 14 May 1797 in Surry, NC. According to Annamae, Isaac had 10 children by his first wife (name unknown), and 7 children by his second wife, Kerrenhappuck, one of whom was my Richard. >From an abstract of Isaac's will filed in Surry, NC, wife Karen Happoch Chandler is identified as the executor and received the whole estate. The only child identified by name in the will was George, the oldest son from the first marriage. According to Annamae, George moved to Sevier, TN about 1815 by way of Wythe, VA and about 1840 moved to Blount, TN where he died.
