Joseph and Ann Chandler
Centre Friends Meeting House
Centreville, Delaware
 Centreville, Delaware, a small village that has existed at least since 1750, has lots of Chandlers, most of whom are believed to be descendants of the George and Jane line, Chandler DNA Project Group 7B. Although early settlers began acquiring land in and around Centreville as early as 1680 and a Friends Centre Meeting House has existed since 1711, the year 1750 is generally accepted as the founding date for the Village of Centreville. The current Centre Friends Meeting House was built in 1796 to replace the original 1711 log structure. The cemetery at the Meeting House contains graves of several of Chris Burns' Chandler ancestors, including Joseph and Ann below. Joseph Chandler, whose grave marker is show below, was the great-great-grandson of George (d. c.1687 on a ship while traveling to America with his family) and Jane Chandler. Read about Centreville's history on the village website.

Relict and Consort Explanation—
The reference "Relict" and "Consort," often found on tombstones or death notices, refers to the wife."Relict" means that the woman was a widow at the time of her death, and "consort" means that her husband survived her. “Genealogy Hints and Tips,” CFA Newsletter, June 2000. (Webmaster's note—The usage on Mary’s marker does not follow the rule cited here and also found in other sources. Mary outlived her husband by more than seven years but is referred to on the grave marker as “consort” instead of “relict,” which would have been more correct.)

 Robert Bailey Chandler of Winston County, Mississippi
Robert Bailey Chandler, Donna Gorda’s great-great-grandfather, is buried in Antioch Cemetery, Winston County, Mississippi. He was the son of Robert Chandler (born 1775 Wilkes County, NC) and Margret Johnston (born November 11, 1798). Robert Chandler, born 1775, was the brother of Abraham Chandler (see above, buried Chandler Cemetery, Calhoun, Georgia), so Robert Bailey Chandler buried in Antioch Cemetery, Winston County, Mississippi, is the nephew of Abraham Chandler buried in Chandler Cemetery, Calhoun, Gordon County, Georgia.

| Spurgeon "Spud" Chandler, St. Petersburg, Florida |
Bob Chandler sent this photo of the grave site  of baseball great Spurgeon "Spud" Chandler and his wife Frances in Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg, Florida. The inscriptions read "Spurgeon F. 1907 - 1990" and "Frances V. 1916 - 1999" with "Together forever" between the two names. Bob said, "Sadly, I found that before he died he lived in the city of South Pasadena, just outside St. Pete, when I was a young Deputy Sheriff working there. I'll bet he would have had a lot of great stories." See more about Spud's career and Chandler lineage here.

| W. O. B. Chandler, Stoneburg, Texas |
 | CFA member David Chandler sent this photo of the grave marker of W.O.B. Chandler. David was following up on previous research which caused him to conclude that the “O” in W.O.B.’s name stood for “Overton,” a family surname, rather than the generally accepted “Overturn,” which was probably a transcription error. (See CFA Newsletter, Autumn 2008.)
W.O.B. Chandler is buried in Oakhill Cemetery, Stoneburg, Montague County, Texas. In addition to “Chandler” on the base, the inscription reads:
W.O.B. Chandler
Born May 8, 1816
Died Aug. 1, 1896
His happy soul has winged its way
to one pure bright eternal day
