Daniel was the second known son born to Richard Chandler, Jr.(5/14/1775-11/22/1859)and Charity Parks Chandler(6/7/1776-1/22/1857)both believed to be born in North Carolina but Richard maybe Virginia. Daniel was born in North Carolina. Many in the family moved to Franklin County, Georgia around 1813.
Franklin became a county in 1784 not long after the revolutionary war and it was settled quickly. One Richard Chandler that could be this line is shown on records paying land taxes in Franklin County, Georgia in 1811. Richard made many land transactions in Franklin County and in many parts of Georgia during his life. Richard`s father is believed to be a Richard as well. Bible records show two that are probably related one generation apart. Daniels siblings are, in the order of their birth including him;

Parks Chandler (11/21/1796-1/ /1849)

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

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

Sarah P. Chandler Smith (02/09/1802- / / )

Ambrose P. Chandler (05/12/1804-4/09/1868)

Frances P. Chandler Jenkins(01/09/1808-8/ /1846)

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

Elzea Chandler (07/18/1812-07/26/1853)

Major Lewis Chandler (07/19/1815- / /1870?)

Marion Francis Chandler (03/07/1819- / /1864)

Some compilers list more children but this may be in error. These siblings where recorded, again, in a family bible belonging to Lindsey Chandler and possibly also Richard Chandler his father. Now this book belongs to this compiler. I don`t think they would have left out other brothers and sisters but it is possible. Several of the additional siblings added by some just don`t make sense at this time.
In the mid to late 1820`s and as later migrations from Franklin County, Georgia and elsewhere began in earnest, the Indians where all pushed out. Land Lotteries where being held and the Chandler families participated in this migration and many moved to different parts of western Georgia.
Daniel and family show up on the 1850 Census records as still living in Franklin County, Georgia. He is listed as a farmer in several over the years. Daniel`s four known children are;

Emily "Emma" E. Chandler Stowe(2/03/1826-9/21/1913)

Devereaux Jarrett Chandler ( 1827- after 1870)

Charity Matilda "Mehullah" Chandler Neal( 1832-

Hope Wain Chandler ( 1834-12/10/1862)

Hope joined Co."F", Phillip`s Georgia Legion, Confederate States Army, in May of 1862 as a private soldier. This unit had Infantry and Cavalry organized with it originally. It appears Hope was Infantry as Co. "F" is listed as in the Infantry Battalion. It also appears he may have been from a replacement company that joined later as the organization was first put together in 1861. During the approximate 7 months that Hope was a soldier his unit fought in at least 8 major engagements in Virginia. I have no exact record yet of his battlefield experience but he surely fought in some major Virginia battles. More on this later. By December 10th, 1862 he would be dead of typhoid fever. He passed away in Gordonsville, Virginia and is buried in a large cemetery there with many other Confederate soldiers. His wife did apply for and receive a Confederate widows pension for his service well after the war.

Daniel married Oney Yeargin on Feb. 12, 1825 in Franklin County, Georgia. Oney was born in South Carolina in 1797-99.
Daniel is thought to have served in the Georgia Militia during the Georgia Indian Wars.
Eventually(after 1850)Daniel and his wife moved to Rockdale County, Georgia where they lived for many years. Daniel and family are one of the few that did not go as far as Carroll County in their migrations.
Daniel wrote a letter to his brother Lindsey near the end of his life where he talks about the brothers. More later as time permits!
