Hi Linda...do you think you are descended from Timothy? If so, we are cousins!

Will of Timothy Chandler

See Tyler’s Quarterly Magazine, Vol. XXII. No. 1, July, 1940,
Pages 50-53

Item Gave 700 acres of land in Orange County to Joseph and Robert equally.
Item Gave land and a Mill on the land where he (Timothy) lives to son Richard but saying his beloved wife Justine Chandler to have it for her Natural life.
Item Gave Negros to all three sons and lend Negros to Betty for her life
Item Gave Robert money to repair his plantation in Orange County
Item Gave furniture to all four Children
Item Gave his stock in Orange to be equally divided
Item Gave Richard and Betty the sheep to be equally divided after the death of their mother Justine
Item Lend everything else to his beloved wife Justine until her death and then it should be divided equally between the three sons.

Timothy Chandler, born New Kent, VA., Oct. 17, 1685, died June 1758, married ca.1721 Justine Woolfolk, christened July 21, 1706, Abingdon Parish, Glouchester Co., VA., daughter of Richard Woolfolk and Elizabeth Unknown. Richard Woolfolk and Elizabeth had seven children.
Timothy was the son of Robert Chandler and Elizabeth Unknown.

Children of Timothy and Justine Chandler:
Joseph Chandler, born ca 1722
Betty Chandler (Banks)
John Chandler, born ca. 1726 who must have died young since there are no other records besides an old Bible entry.

Marsha’s note 10-12-2006: Robert Chandler is my 4 great grandfather. He married Susannah Edmondson on February 24, 1774. In the 1839 Rev War Pension Appl. File, Robert’s sister, Sally McNeal gives a deposition attesting to the fact of their marriage that she witnessed it in the winter time when she was 15 years old. Lucy Chandler, daughter of Joseph Chandler, was married twice. The first marriage was to Brumfield Long (see Will below) and the second marriage was to Henry Mallory. Jestin married Absolum Smith in Orange Co., VA on Oct. 25, 1781 and there is no record of issue. William and Betsy Long were grandchildren of Joseph Chandler (see Will below).
