Notes for SHADRACK CHANDLER:

• Shadrack Chandler was born before 1756 in Virginia and died in 1812 in Franklin County, Georgia. He married Martha _____ who was also born in Virginia. The Virginia births are noted in the 1880 Livingston Parish, Louisiana census record of their son Samuel. Shadrack's parents at present are unknown to us.

There were three Shadrack Chandlers listed on the Greenville Co. SC census for 1790 and two on the 1800 census.

* He was the Shadrick Chandler (note different spelling) in the 1800 census of the Pendleton District (containing Greenville Co.) on page 130 with three sons and six daughters living at home along with five slaves. The number of children matches if you assume the 22-year-old and 16-year-old boys are away from home. In fact, on the same page, the adjacent name is James Chandler with, wife and child listed of the correct age bracket to be Shadrack's son James listed below. The only discrepancy is in the age bracket for two of Shadrick's younger sons The .census has three sons under 10, but from an unverified source, we have that two of these were between 10 and 16. Most likely the census is correct (see the listing of these children that follows later)

• We know Shadrack Chandler was living in the Pendleton District of South Carolina in 1804 and sold property there and then purchased 400 acres in Franklin County on the banks of Indian Creek. Shadrack executed a deed of sale in 1804 of 100 acres located in the Pendleton District of South Carolina to Reuben Shinault. In November 1804 "Shadrack Chandler of Pendleton Co., S. C." purchased from Thomas Westbrook of Franklin County, Ga. 400 acres (two deeds for 210 acres and 190 acres, respectively) on the waters of Indian Creek. Thus, he was residing in Franklin Co., Georgia in 1804. And by 1808 he had received a bounty of 202 l/2 acres in Wilkerson County, Georgia.
• Shadrack lived on Indian Creek until his death in 1812 as shown by the Franklin County tax digest for 1805, 1808, & 1810. He had 6 slaves listed in 1810. After Shadrack's death, his executor filed tax returns for the property until 1818. It is instructive of the way our ancestors lived to look at an inventory of Shadrack's possessions at the time of his death in 1812.

In the 1818 tax digest, Jedediah is listed with 3 slaves
