Chandler-3520 and Somers-195 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date; same husband; same daughter Sarah Jane. I suspect that Somers is the correct LNAB: While Chandler is the surname on the marriage record for Vashti Chandler and Alexander Lemons, there's also a marriage record for Joseph Chandler and Vashtie Summers in Wilson County TN in 1832, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKH3-QGJS. Vashti was about 25 when she married Alexander Lemons, which would be fairly old for a woman's first marriage in that area at the time, but is a plausible age for a second marriage.
