NOTE: The genealogy continues with three additional posts to the blog dated 2/8/11.
George (01) and Jane (02) Chandler immigrated to Pennsylvania from Wiltshire, England, arriving in Pennsylvania in December 1687. The family genealogy is recorded in “A Record of the Descendants of George and Jane Chandler (who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Wiltshire, England, in 1687) with a Pedigree of the Chandlers of Oare, Wiltshire,” published by the Chandler Family Reunion Committee in Philadelphia in 1937. The materials were originally compiled by Gilbert Cope for, during, and after the family reunion held in 1887. The book traces the family back to 1252 – during the 36th year of the reign of King Henry III. Numbers in parentheses following names are those assigned by Gilbert Cope and used in the family genealogy.
It is believed that George Chandler died aboard ship en route to Pennsylvania. Jane arrived with her children and remarried several times. The children of George and Jane Chandler include:
George Chandler (03), born in England 06/14/1671 and died in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1715. He married Ruth Bezer.
Swithin Chandler (04), born in England 09/06/1674 and died circa 1742 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He married Ann, whose maiden name is unknown.
Jane Chandler (05), born in England 07/09/1676 and died in 1726 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. She married Robert Jefferies circa 1692.
William Chandler (06) and his descendents are detailed below.
William Chandler (06) was the fourth child of George and Jane Chandler. William was born 12/08/1678 in England. He married Ann Bowater 07/10/1712. He died in 1746 in London Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
William Chandler (3503) was the son of William (06) and Ann Bowater Chandler. William was born 02/20/1718 in Pennsylvania and died 02/28/1795 in London Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania. William (3503) is the earliest Chandler from whom we have a written document in his own hand, a letter dated 1791.
William Chandler (3512) was the son of William (3503) and Rebecca Allen Mode Chandler. William (3512) has left a number of 1789-90 journal entries and a 1794-95 log in his own hand. We also have his 1797 wedding certificate to Hannah Winder, and a number of Ross County, Ohio land and court records dating from 1807 to 1839.

Has anyone discovered the maiden name of Swithin Chandler's wife, Ann? Any verifiable information on their descendants? Swithin came with from England with his parents, George and Jane in 1687. Are there books or information available for Chester County with mention of Swithin and his progeny? THANKS!!
ReplyDeleteThe source cited above has numerous cites for Swithin Chandler, and many refer to his wife Ann. But her maiden name is not cited in any record i could find. It is a name that has been missing from the geneology since the first reunion of the family in Philedelphia in 1887. Records re the family can be found in the U. Of Oennsylvania library in Philadelphia. If you discover anything new, please let me know. Peter A Siegwald
ReplyDeleteI grew up on Josephs farm near Jeromesville Ohio. I still have one of the original hand written deeds. I have done much research on your family and terribly miss the farm. Anyone wanting to talk more email jlh1556@hotmail.com

DeleteSwithin Chandler must have been a brother to George as he was, supposedly, born in 1674 and it is noted George was born 1671. The one entry is confusing in that it lists George, Jane and Swithin as children of George. That should be cleaned up a bit.
