From Thomas Chandler's Find A Grave memorial: "Chandler Family researchers have nothing that would agree with the statement that he <Thomas Chandler> was the son <of this> John Chaundler and Jane Gitton, and married to Mary Agnes Tate."

BIOGRAPHY: "The succeeding generation [to Robert Chaundler of Devizes]seem to have taken a rather too active part in the politics of their day,for we find that on 27 August, 1465, the king (Edward IV) commissionedThomas Yonge, John Butler, knight, and others to, to enquire into the casof John and Thomas Chaundeler, of Wilts, then prisoners in Gloucestercastle (Paten Roll, 5 Edward IV, memb. 22). It is certain that theChaundelers were partisans of the house of York; but the cause of theirfavour with crown can only be surmised. Further light is thrown on thesubject by a crown grant of 18 February, 1466, by which Thomas Caundler,the 'parson' or the parish church of Menestake (Meon-Stoke) in thediocese of Winchester (and not very far from Wilcot), is given a canonryin the king's free chapel of St. STephen in the palace of Westminster,and a prebend in that chapel (Pat. Roll, 6 Edward IV, memb. 15). Thomasbeing a priest the line of descent would be through John, who, there canbe no doubt, was father of John Caundler of Oare, living 1524."
