    NOTE 2./ Revolutionary Soldiers in Alabama, by Thomas Owens <>

    CHANCELLOR, JEREMIAH. "This soldier of the Revolution is buried in a country churchyard at Pine Level Methodist church, in Autauga County, eighteen miles west of Montgomery.

    "A short sketch of the life of Jeremiah Chancellor may be found in the Memorial Record of Alabama, vol. ii., p. 895. He was born in England and came to America with his father and two brothers, when sixteen years of age. This was during the Revolutionary War. After remaining a short time in Virginia, the father and his two oldest sons, William and Jeremiah, came to South Carolina, leaving the youngest son, Jackson Chancellor, in Virginia. Tradition says that Chancellorsville, Virginia, was named for the family of this youngest son.

    "When the Chancellors arrived in South Carolina they found the war raging violently all around them and it became necessary for them to decide what their own course should he. The father, whose loyalty to England could not be shaken, told his sons that he should join the British; the sons declared that they admired the Americans for standing up for their rights and they intended to cast their lots with the people of their adopted country. The father and sons never met again, but fought on opposite sides until the close of the Revolutionary War. We do not know in what regiment Jeremiah Chancellor served, but Saffell's Records, p. 293, states that Nov. 1, 1779, William Chancellor was a private in the South Carolina regiment commanded by Lieut. Col. Francis Marion, Seventh Company, Thomas Dunbar, captain.

    "Jeremiah Chancellor married Galatea Gilbert and settled in South Carolina after the Revolution, where he remained until 1818, when he organized a colony in South Carolina and came with them to Alabama. They settled on the Autauga side of the Alabama River. He remained with this colony until his death. Descendants of Jerry Chancellor are now living in Childersburg and in Coosa County. His grandson, William S. Chancellor was one of the oldest Masons in Alabama.---- Mrs. P. H. Mell in Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, Vol . iv ., P . 535.
