RUFUS CHANDLER

was born in Windham county, Conn., May 26, 1785, and was
educated in Plainfield Academy and Yale College. In 1806 he
was invited to take charge of Wingfield Academy in Hanover
county and accepted, labouring here many years. He was baptized
in 1812 by the Rev. Andrew Broaddus, I, and preached his first
sermon at the baptismal waters. He married Miss Nancy

Trevillian, daughter of Thomas Trevillian, of Caroline, in 1815
and the same year located permanently in the county. He was
ordained by Elders Woolfolk, Keeling and Ball in 1830 and died
at Little Yale, Caroline county, July 18, 1837. He was probably
the best scholar of the Baptist church in his day.
