Lindsey was the 4th son born to Richard Chandler, Jr. (5/14/1775-11/22/1859) and Charity Parks Chandler(6/07/1776-1/22/1857)it is believed in Buncombe County, North Carolina. He married Matilda Sewell(4/31/1810-7/05/1866) on 5/30/1830 in Franklin County, Georgia.
The spelling of Lindsey`s name with a "D" is in question by some. A small matter really but it is bothersome. It is spelled several ways in many documents. Sometimes many ways in the same document. Lindsey`s believed grandmother and who it is believed he was named after was a Lindsey. A family bible exists which is known to have been his with his name spelled with a "D" on the inside cover. I could go on and on with many other examples both ways but I won`t. Your welcome!
Some use the middle name "Cash" for Charity and this has reportedly been proven to be in error. Some, it is true, never had middle names and it does not appear in this lines bible records.
It is also believed highly likely, by bible record believers, but not absolutely proven, that Richard was a junior as another Richard(1751-1842)possibly his father, is mentioned in the same bible record. This makes it look like he probably is the grandfather of Lindsey. Not stated per say but the name is listed. This same Richard`s wife was Martha Lindsey mentioned above. Are you confused yet? They are more than likely related as father and son but again nothing has been proven yet. All the other several dozen persons, in the bible record, are proven to be related. It is only being mentioned to help further the details of this line. No other known researcher, compiler, or ancestor has an original document that goes any further back with this family that I am aware of. Please somebody prove me wrong! This family has been at a dead end since at least the 1960`s as far as I know. Many have tried and many long hours have been spent to no avail. I hope somebody can figure it out one day. Many have not given up yet! The documents are still lying hidden in a courthouse basement somewhere.
Another Chandler line close to Lindsey`s and in the same DNA family was identified by test results several years back now. This links a Hezekiah Chandler(1775-1849) born in North Carolina and buried in Georgia to this same genetic line. Many are waiting for news of these facts. This is the only clue I personally know of at this time of this update(Nov.,2013). Further DNA tests over the years will be the best and final way to actually prove this line behind Richard Chandler, Sr..
Please be aware, some false associations have been made in the past, for this family, but where proven to be just that, false! Never give up is a truly good motto and does apply to this case! Some of us are still here! One of the reasons for this posting.
Lindsey did marry Matilda Sewell, as previously mentioned, on 5/30/1830 in Franklin County, Georgia. He was a small child when his parents and family, it is thought, moved to Georgia from North Carolina around 1813. A Richard Chandler reportedly paid taxes on land in Franklin County, Georgia in 1811 but it is believed the families came later and at different times.
His line has been thought to go back from North Carolina, to Virginia and then to England. No proof yet but it is highly likely. There are supposedly many facts to support this claim and several researchers may be close to solving this families road blocks and missing links eventually.
Several other compilers have reported this as fact over the years but many others do not. Beware of questionable research. This write up on FAG has been adjusted several times and probably will be again. Lindsey`s known siblings are in the order of their birth including him;

Parks Chandler (5/21/1796-1//1849)

Matilda Chandler Carter/Smith/Brown (10/18/1798-aft.1880) )

Daniel Chandler (12/09/1800-9/09/1881)

Sarah(Sally)P. Chandler Smith(2/09/1802-

Ambrose P. Chandler (5/12/1804-04/09/1868)

Frances P. Chandler Jenkins (1/09/1808-8/ /1846)

Lindsey Chandler (5/06/1810-1/01/1891)

Elzea Chandler (7/18/1812-7/26/1853)

Major Lewis Chandler (7/19/1815-1870?)

Marion Francis Chandler (3/7/1819- 1864?)

Lindsey`s relatives where some of the first "white men" to permanently move to what was to become, Carrollton, Carroll County, Georgia in the 1820`s after the Indian treaty of 1825. They came from Franklin County, Georgia. Chandler Street in Carrollton was named after the family. It runs due east of the old homestead park and spring site. Thomas Chandler, it is thought, is Lindsey`s 1st cousin and was the 1st attorney in the area. He was a circuit rider that reportedly was very honest and everyone got along with him. He homesteaded this spring spot with many acres. He is well documented in history books about the area.
Lindsey came to Carroll County not to long after his marriage in 1834. His father and mother and many other relatives came before and after him. Carroll County and surrounding county`s are full of Chandler`s from this line.
Most of the early Chandler`s served in the young Georgia Militia`s and at least three generations served as company officers during the Indian removeals and "Trail of Tears" up to 1838. Lindsey was one of them. It is very ironic that one of Lindsey`s own sons would marry, it is believed, a half Indian woman in 1878.
Lindsey lived on his farm west of Carrollton, Georgia near the community of Smithfield. He lived in the country, northwest of Bowdon. Some think several miles from the Alabama state line since 1838 when he bought some land. He lived there for 53 years before he died. In 1890 he is listed as paying taxes on 50 acres of land.
He was listed as a Miller on one census record and a mechanic on another. He worked at various saw mills and also did all kinds of carpentry work in the area. He was a sawyer, mechanic, carpenter, miller, and could do anything involving the running of a saw mill or grist mill. Several generations of the Chandler`s did this work. Lindsey and Matilda had several children and they where in the order of their birth;

Asa G. Chandler (2/05/1831-5/5/1900)

Sofiah C. "Sophie" Chandler (9/22/1832-4/01/1919)

Clark Sewell Chandler (1/09/1839-4/07/1862)

Mary Melinda Chandler (9/04/1842-2/25/1912)

Martha Jane Chandler (9/09/1845-6/10/1926)

Thomas Marion Chandler (9/14/1848-10/11/1912)

Louisa Lenora "Nora" Chandler Burnham (10/14/1856-1/15/1927)

Some researchers list another child! Not in my bible record!
Lindsey was very active in several churches of Carroll County for many years. He is buried in the cemetery of one along with two of his daughters. He helped found this Poplar Springs Primitive Baptist Church with many of his relatives in 1840. Many other Chandler`s of this line are thought, by some, to be buried in this cemetery but no records exist and no proof has ever been uncovered. This compiler believes most are not in this cemetery but in private homestead family cemetery`s in several counties around or in the Horsley Cemetery nearby. These Chandler`s changed churches many times and most where not members of this church when they died. This Horsley Cemetery pre-dates many of the others and was reportedly one of the earlier burial grounds of the area. Many if not most are possibly unmarked and lost to time. Some may yet be discovered.
The Chandler`s sent many of their sons to fight for the Confederacy. All of Lindsey`s sons fought for the South. Asa G. was the oldest and he joined as a private soldier of Co. "B", 7th Confederate Cavalry Battalion. Much later in 1864 it was merged with the 10th Georgia Cavalry Regiment. His cousin Hiram Bennett Chandler joined with him. Clark Sewell Chandler joined as a private in Co. "B", 2nd Georgia Infantry which was redesignated the 18th Georgia Infantry later. He died in the Chimborazo hospital outside Richmond, Virginia and is buried near there. Thomas Marion Chandler served in the Georiga Militia as a young man. He was in the 46th Regiment of State Troops which I believe was redesignated as "Fannin`s" 1st Georgia Reserves in 1863.
Lindsey lived with his two unmarried daughters for most all of their lives and they are still next to each other in the cemetery. More as time permits.
