Joseph was a pioneer settling in Franklin Co,Ga. on Gumlog Creek about 1796. He was a founder of the Popular Grove Baptist Church and a respected judge and Justice of the county. His large family spread to central Ga. and Texas and his son Henry Farmer Chandler was a most respected and wealthy county citizen. He died shortly after his wife at the home of his son in Reed Creek, Ga. and we suspect he is buried there with a field stone marker.
Joseph G. Chandler and Sarah Farmer had the following children:
