Looking for ancestral information on William James Chancellor. Here's what I have found.
Born 1822/23 in South Carolina (per census)
Married Amelia J MNU (b 1827 in NC) in 1913 in Pike County, Alabama
Died on 23 Nov 1914 in Pike County, Alabama
Children:
Sarah A - b 1845
Elizabeth J - b 1848 - Never married
William P - b 1851
James Edward - b 1853 - d 1933
Mary Miranda (Maranda) - b 1859 - d 1930
Records found:
1860 Federal Census
AL Civil War muster rolls (entered on 13 Jul 1861, 1st Alabama Infantry, Co G)
US General Land Office records (Certificate #s 1522, 17734, 17735)
entry in Alabama Death Records database
Their son, James Edward, and his family, as well as many other relatives, were buried at Ebenezer First Cemetery in Pike County, AL. I have been unable to find a church association for William James or Amelia J Chancellor, or for their other children.
Any information you can provide about William's parents, siblings or other relatives would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ami
My name is Emily M. Matthias and I am a doctoral student in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at New Mexico State University. I am also a family historian, working on my own family (hi)story since 2000.
The purpose of my study is to explore ideas surrounding cultural identity formation using the pursuit of genealogy as one lens. I am interested in hearing from fellow family historians working on their own research.
Please help me out by going to my website @ http://www.mygenealogystudy.com and telling me about your search.
Please also feel free to email me regarding possible family connections. I love to share! Thank you.
