My direct paternal family line:
*Dana B. & Gloria (Kingston) Chandler- Parents
*Rena B. & Mattie (George) Chandler- Grandparents
*Sanford M. & Clara (Castle) Chandler- Great
*William & Mary (Wheeler) Chandler- 2x Great
*Henry & Jemima (Wheeler) Chandler- 3x Great
*Thomas Chandler- 4x Great

A number of my relatives from different generations, to include myself, have submitted their DNA through Ancestry and thus far no one has Native American DNA.

In the book printed in 1974, "THE CHANDLER FAMILY; A History of the Chandler Family of Eastern Kentucky" Written and Compiled by L. THELMA CHANDLER WALTER (Educator and Genealogist, Member Kentucky Historical Society) and THEODORE B. WALTER (Genealogist and Attorney at Law), Thelma writes:
"According to William C. Kozee (The Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky), the first Chandler ancestor to arrive in the Big Sandy Valley was a THOMAS CHANDLER who settled near the present Wayne County Courthouse in Wayne County, West Virginia about 1806."
"It is believed that THOMAS CHANDLER was born in North Carolina in 1762 because he stated in his petition for a pension that he filed in the Cabell County Virginia Court (now West Virginia) on October 22, 1827, that he was 65 years old (his wife 64 years old); that he enlisted as a private in March, 1780, in the 10th Regiment, North Carolina Continental Lines for a period of three years. After the war he lived in Wythe and Tazewell Counties, Virginia (now West Virginia) before settling near the present Wayne County Courthouse. THOMAS CHANDLER died about 1845-46 in Wayne County, Virginia (now West Virginia)."
She also writes, "Other than what is stated above very little is known of THOMAS CHANDLER. Our forefathers failed to record data about their families", etc... "So, most of the information that we have is from deeds, marriage licenses, bibles and other legal documents."

In the FOREWARD of the book she states, "This account of the Chandler Family is the result of a twelve year study and research effort."

I inherited this genealogy history book from my father. He bought it at one of our Chandler family reunions soon after it was published. I will assist anyone looking for information on their family if it is documented in this book. My email address is public.
Sincerely,
Dane
