Shadrack Chandler - Indiana

Question

Looking for Info on Shadrack Chandler who lived in Indiana and had a daughter named Amanda Ann.  There were two Shadrack Chandlers living in the same area at the same time.  One went on to Missouri.  The other had one child that I know of and just disappeared.  If anyone can help, please contact me.

He also had a son named William who was married in Anderson in 1913

there may be more info on family search.  Thought this might help you.  Check to see where William finally settled. Shadrack may have been married twice. Have you done research on the one in MO?

The Shadrack/Shedrick Chandler in MO was an African American that lived in the same area as my ancestors.  I have researched William.  He and his wife had no children, but his mother lived with him after his father passed.  Thank you so much for giving me another tip.  I have so many lines going that I often don't get back to one for a couple of years.
