| Chandlers in Missouri and Indiana - Greg Nutt is researching his
mother's Chandler family line. Greg's mother, Viola Chandler Nutt,
was born in Marion County, Missouri, in 1916. Viola's father was
Thomas Jefferson Chandler, born possibly Cedar County, Missouri, in
1872, and her grandfather was Shadrach Chandler, born in Brown County,
Indiana, in 1821. Greg's research currently points to Shadrach's
father being possibly Benjamin Chandler (who may also be associated
with the Brummetts) or a William Chandler, both in Monroe County,
Indiana, in 1830, and both with male children of the right age to be
Shadrach. Greg hopes there is some "kind member of CFA who has
knowledge of this line" and can help him.
