    • Chesterfield County, South Carolina Census Summary for 1800 and 1810, by Bob Millie:

      The Columns on census prior to 1850 are:
      Free White Males: (under 10), (age 10-15), (age 16-25), (age 26-45), (age 45 +) .......... //
      Free White Females: (under 10), (age 10-15), (age 16-25), (age 26-45), (age 45 +) ..........//
      Last 2 columns: all other free persons= 0 , and lastly, slaves= 0

      Jeremiah: 1800 Census: 3, 1, 1, 1, 0 // 1, 2, 0, 1, 0.
      1810 Census: 0, 1, 3, 0, 1 // 1, 1, 0, 0, 0. Therefore, between 1800 and 1810, Jeremiah lost 1 male child and 1 female child, as well as his wife. The female child could possibly have married, whereas the male child and wife seem to have died.

      William: 1800 Census: 1, 1, 1, 1, 0 // 1, 2, 1, 1, 0.
      1810 Census: 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 // 1, 1, 1, 0, 1. Therefore, between 1800 and 1810, William lost 1 male child, likely to death, 1 male child who may have married and moved out of Chesterfield County, and 2 female children, quite possibly to marriage, while adding an additional birthed female.

      The earliest traceable Chancellor is William Chancellor, Sr., born between 1780-1790 in Cheraws, Chesterfield County, South Carolina. He was a planter and farmer. Who was his father? The 1790 Census for Chesterfield County in the Cheraw District lists a William Chancellor and a Jeremiah Chancellor. Both William and Jeremiah Chancellor are in the Minute Books (1789-1800) of Lower Lynches Creek Baptist Church, which was located at Witherington Mill on Boggy Swamp in Darlington County .

      William Chancellor and Jeremiah Chancellor were in the 1800 Census for Chesterfield County. William's family included five males, seven females, six other free persons (except Indians) and eight slaves. Jeremiah's household consisted of himself, seven males, 6 females, 12 other free persons and two slaves.
