Found him! I was ready to go back to my Duxbury Chandlers, when I thought I would give one more look, this time on Heritage Quest. Heritage Quest, available free from many libraries, has the actual picture of the census records instead of transcriptions. This is much better because transcriptions often have errors.
I looked at the 1860 Indiana census for "Chanler" no "d."
It appears that Nathan was John's father. Nathan was listed as Nathan Chanler. His wife was "Saly", probably another misspelling. John was his youngest son, age 7. Nathan was born in South Carolina, "Saly" in North Carolina, and John in Indiana.
The other "Chanlers" in the 1860 census were, I think, Nathan's eldest sons.
Our group, the Edmund Chandler Family Association, and our sister group, the Chandler Family Association have done a lot of DNA work on the Chandlers, including those from the Carolinas. You can take a look on our website, www.edmundchandler.com. Go to the left hand side and click DNA results. If you have a male Chandler surnamed cousin, you might want him to consider the painless, swab to the inside of the cheek, confidential, and drop in a mailer test.
The CFA, www.thecfa.org, also can help you with your Chandlers as they have a query board exclusively for Chandlers as well as databases.
Happy hunting.
Carol
