John Chandler

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Chandler-4181

John was born say 1632. He was the son of Edmund Chandler and his second wife Unknown Unknown. He passed away in 1653.[1]

John’s Will is in the Barbados archives and was proved July 11, 1653. We have a letter from the Barbados clerk in our archives that states that John was a planter, but that statement, which was erroneous, was later retracted in a subsequent letter from the Barbados. He probably died at sea as his Will was written shipboard. This is an abstracted version of his Will from the Barbados archives: “All my estate to Edmund Chandler my father, living at New Plimouth (sic) in New England, if father is dead to my brothers and sisters. Father to be Executor. Goods in ship “Seaflower”, Capt. Miles Canaton Commander; friend Lt. John Dixon is to see that goods get to father, brothers or sisters.”
