TIMOTHY CHANDLER, son of Joel Chandler and wife Priscilla (according to will of Joel Chandler, Cumberland County, Virginia, 1749-1769, Will Book I), was born in Virginia and died at Boyd's Creek, Sevier County, Tennessee on 25 April 1819. He was buried on hill where Rocky Springs Academy was formerly located, generally known for years as the Wayland Place; today it is owned by Mrs. John Gilbert. Timothy Chandler moved from the James River, in Virginia (maybe Halifax County) down to Wilkes County, North Carolina, six miles west of Wilkesboro on the Yadkin River. There he lived some years, and probably most of his children were born there. His wife was HETTY JANE (Terrel, Thoroughgood, or Temple; correct name not yet established). She died at Boyd's Creek, 15 July 1824, and was buried beside her husband Timothy. Timothy Chandler served in the Revolutionary War (Record of Service in Raleigh, North Carolina, not in the National Archives, Washington). He was of great help to the Colonies, records give splendid Colonial Service. Timothy moved to Boyd's Creek around 1791. [from "Chandler of Boyd's Creek", Blanche C. Clabaugh McMahan (wife of a great grandson of John Chandler, son of Timothy Chandler, and who lives in John Chandler's house at Boyd's Creek), UNDATED but after 1942]
