Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechu" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose only daughter died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
W.I.P

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his parental side

=== John Chaundeler ===
'''John Chandler''' (born '''John Chaundeler''', 1513-1571) is Chris' 13th great-grandfather. He was born in {{w|Wiltshire}}.

At some point in his life, John Chaundeler [[Christopher's name change|changed his surname to the similar]] "Chandler", marking the origin of Chris' surname.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-III/6000000003187854765</ref> However, the prototype of the Chandler surname, "Chaundeler", dates back even further to Nicholas le Chaundeler (1240 - 1272) of {{w|Normandy}}, France, Chris' 22nd great-grandfather. Nicholas le Chaundeler's father, Gilbert de L'Aigle, did not bear a similar surname.

Together with Joanne (Jane) Chandler (néé unknown), John had 5 children from 1538 to 1546: First Edmund, then Nicholas, then John Jr., then Robert, and finally Henry. John's second child Nicholas (1540 - 1604) would become the great-grandfather of the aforementioned John Chandler (b. 1600), who would carry the "Chandler" surname to North America for our hero to inherit.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather. Joseph Chandler along his paternal line enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both passed away on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, presumably from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Jane Weston (née Hamilton, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.
