Jacob Chandler

Jacob was born December 22, 1725 at Chester, Pennsylvania (or at Frederick County, Virginia Colony). He was a son of George Chandler and Esther Taylor.[1]

Quaker

Jacob was a Quaker from the Hopewell, Virginia Meeting who settled at the Bush River Meeting in Newberry, South Carolina in 1768. On October 25, 1794 Jacob Chandler was dismissed by the Bush River MM because of his actions in the War, (giving supplies to the Army).

Revolutionary War Service

Jacob aided the American forces in the Revolutionary War by giving supplies to the Army. He was too old to do any actual fighting. Proof of this service can be found in Vol. Y, page 75 of Stub Entries to Indents of Revolutionary Claims in SC. This lineage has been accepted as supplemental by the NSDAR.[5]

Death and Legacy

Jacob died November 16, 1800 at Newberry, Newberry County South Carolina, USA. He is buried at Bush River Quaker Cemetery in Newberry.[6]

Research Notes

  • The FindAGrave record noted in this profile does not match the profile birth and death dates. FindAGrave shows a birth date of 12 Dec 1735, and a death date of 13 Apr 1805. Both the birth and death locations show Chester, Pennsylvania as the location. The burial location on FindAGrave shows Newberry, South Carolina, which is a long way from the death location. I traced the death date to a Will for Jacob showing the death date of 13 Apr 1805. This may be related to a different Jacob Chandler than the Jacob living in South Carolina.
  • One of the marriage sources for Jacob and Ann has incorrectly indexed the year of marriage as 1761. The written record clearly shows 1764 as the correct year.

Jacob was born about 1735. He passed away about 1800.

Chandler-6395 and Chandler-1081 appear to represent the same person because: These are duplicates. Same name and death date, same spouse.
