Will written 23 March 1860 and proved 28 June 1860
After first naming Maj. David West of Pope County the sole executor of his will, Elijah continues. “Second, to my wife Lydia B.Chandler (who married my property but not my self and who by her unkind treatment has driven me from my house and home to seek a shelter in the wide world and having at the time I left her given her the greatest portion of my property there is now nothing her due yet because the law requires it) I give her one dollar.” To daughter Abby Ann Chandler, he bequeathed two thousand dollars and to his sister Hannah Ingalls wife of John Ingalls of Newport, New Hampshire, he left three hundred dollars. The remainder of the estate he gave to his daughter Abby Ann Chandler.[1]
