We are doing genealogy and this article popped up in doing some research and I'm trying to connect the dots. I did ancestry dna and have a large number of relatives black and white with the surname Chandler. During did ever come across the names David King Chandler born around 1822-1824 or Mathew Chandler born October 1782?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293221350259564691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733508189924773862.post-63319339791970531252021-01-25T01:21:33.099-05:002021-01-25T01:21:33.099-05:00Cool article my

Their last names are Buckner, Ledley, and Bland.

However, have you come to realize that perhaps maybe why Mr. Thomas Coleman Chandler could not divorce himself from the need of AfricanAmerican labor maybe because they were kin or related to him? 😊<br /><br />You don’t say their names of these AfricanAmericans who lived with him? What were their names?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888697266707605562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733508189924773862.post-57424640256382022142018-04-25T17:47:47.760-04:002018-04-25T17:47:47.760-04:00Enjoyed your article Tim.

The B & O Railroad owned the property at the turn of the last century and it is the B & O who originally saved, preserved, and restored the office building while deciding to tear down the Chandler's Fairfield plantation home in 1909. There are Civil War photos showing the field(s) surrounding the Fairfield Big House and Guinea Station during the Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville campaigns of many many wagons of Confederate supplies, stores, and artillery pieces, etc., because of the proximity of the railroad at Guinea Station just across the railroad tracks from where Fairfield stood.<br />K.B.
