CHANDLER:10-15-02 My grandfather's birth certificate says that he was born to a Walker Lamar Chandler, who was born in Warnsboro, GA. Being that there is no Warnsboro, GA, I was wondering if it could possibly be Wainsboro, an incorrect spelling of Waynesboro. I believe that he was born between 1892-1894. There is a marriage listing for M. Lamar Chandler to Amanda Lee Sharpe in Lyons, Georgia, where my grandfather Walker Lamar Chandler, Jr., was born in 1919. Knowing that my grandfather's mother was named Amanda Lee (Something), I believe that this is the right marriage, and that the handwritten W was misread as an M. (Remember, this is the same county who handwrote my grandfather's troublesome birth certificate about twelve years later). Later, this same Walker Lamar Chandler, Jr. and his father, Walker Lamar Chandler, Sr. moved to Jacksonville, Duval County, FL. I was hoping that someone with knowledge of the Chandler families, or with access to birth information from the 1890's would have knowledge of my great-grandfather. Walker Lamar Chandler, b. abt./bet. 1890's, (Warnsboro), GA, m. 1907 Amanda Lee Sharpe, Lyons, GA, d. 1965-1975, Jacksonville, Duval County, FL. Eva Lee
