Hi again. I don't have access to the census anymore, but what i remember was penn written on it, not pa. It was the 1880 high point, decatur, iowa census. as far as the strattor, i have seen it spelled : strawder,strauder,strattor. on the cfa facebook website, i posted 2 pictures of him. one of him at around 60 years old i would say, in a barber chair, and another with his whole family while they were all still alive ( two sons and a daughter died very young). he was probably in his 40's in that one. what really sucks ,is that he is the only chandler relative i can find a picture of online. what's funny, is that he doesn't look like my family at all, but most of his kids do, and i am not even a direct descendant, his younger brother george was. The horse theives story was told to me by my father. someone in his family did research in the 30's or 40's and that's what he remembers. he did always say that we were southern chandler's though, and he claimed some of our relatives moved to kentucky. I have been hounding my dad to try to get a hold of the person who has that research, but most of his cousins are dying off now. This i know for sure... my chandler family went from va, to oh, then to iowa, then douglas, s.d. . some branched out to california, and others to spokane, wa . my great grandfather, howell francis chandler , and his wife, nancy margaret michael, finally moved to lower oxford penn, and died there. they brought their 2 youngest kids with them.. kenneth and dorothy( hendrickson)my grandfather lyle, and his older sister zelda ( beachley_) were in central ny state by then ( where i was born ) . i always wondered why my g grandfather went to penn. could it be that there was family already there? who knows. oh, before i bore you to death, on that 1850 lewis county va census with carter chaNler and alsey, they listed a elizabeth living with them, and they were with another family , but totally forgot who that family was. i can't believe all this started when i found out i was going to have a son.now, it is totally addicting! lol thanks again. you rock !
