About John Chandler, Sr.

Our Andover ancestor John Chandler I was the older brother of Sarah Chandler, 1661-1757, who was the grandmother of the Samuel Phelps III, 1712-1795 who married John's granddaughter Priscilla Chandler, 1713-1778, his second cousin. Our John had two sons, both of whom are are direct ancestors of ours, so that two of his great-grandchildren (Priscilla Chandler Phelps's son Joshua Phelps I, 1738-1798 and Lois Ballard, 1746-1836) were also married as second cousins. Not only that, but John himself, in spite of prevailing Puritan admonitions, married Hannah Abbott, 1650-1741, his own first cousin! New England apparently had a very restricted gene pool.

John was the second of eight siblings in his family.

John's wife, Hannah Abbott, was his first cousin; they were both grandchildren of William Chandler, 1595-1641 and Annis Bayford Chandler, 1603-1683, our ancestors.
