Thomas Chandler was church warden at Bishops-Stortford in 1562, 1563, and 1574. He left no will and as the parish registers do not give the names of the parents of infants baptized prior to 1580, the names of all his children cannot be given with certainty; but there is proof that he had at least three children, Barbara, Henry, and Edward.

The earliest mention found of Thomas is in the subsidy of Edward VI [1549/50-1550/1] when as Thomas Chaundler jun. he was assessed at Stortford 10s. on goods. He is taxes at Stortford in subsequest subsidies. In 1556 Henry Hoye was quenrent v. Thomas Chaundeler and his wif Hoane (Joane), deforciants, for a messuage and lands in Stortford. Thomas Chandler also appears for many years in the

churchwardens' accounts. In 1558 he paid an assessment of 12d., in 1562 he paid 5s. for wood in Thorleywyk; in 1573 he was collector for the market house and in 1582 he paid 12s. rent. The churchwarden's rental amounts show that in 1592 Philologus Bush and Robert Smith held a double tenement in South Street, formerly Bowyers, where they resided, iach paying 6d. per year. In the next year (1593) the said double tenement was held by Philologus Bush and Thomas Chandler, the latter evidently having secured Smith's moiety. Philologus Bush and Thomas Chandler continue to reside there , and appear there yearly until 1600, when Thomas Chandler is succeeded by Henry Chandler. Then Philologus Bush and Henry Chandler appear there yearly until 1619, when the latter is succeeded by his widow. Thomas Chandler was church warden at Bishops Stortford in 1562, 1563 and 1574. He left no will and, as the parish registers do not give the names of the parents of infants baptised prior to 1580, the names of all his children cannot be given with certainty.

Married Joanne Farr b. 1529 in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, d. March 11, 1606 in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, in 1552 in Bishop's Stortford, Herfordshire, England. She was the daughter of John Farr 1428–1461 and Agnes Farr.

Origins

Son of Thomas, father of John, Thomas, Agnes (Mrs Richard Bedwell) and Robert. He was the only son or only son to outlive his father. He left considerable property in Bishop's Stortford, and married an Agnes circa 1525.

English Origins of New England Families, Vol II, p. 355: "Thomas Chandler of Bishops-Stortford, born about 1500, died in the spring of 1554. He married, about 1525, Agnes ____, who survived him. Since he is the only person of the family name in his generation who appears in Bishop-Stortford, it may be assumed he was the only surviving son of his father. He seems to have been successful and prosperous, as there are evidences that he acquired considerable property and left a good estate. The earliest mention of him is in 1532, in one of four land transactions by fine in which he participated, in three as (pages 356 through 359 are missing! Bought the book, so continuing) a purchaser and in one as a vendor. As Thomas Chandler Jr he was assessed at Stortford 10d on land in the subsidy of 33 Henry VIII (2541-1542) [and so on.] In 1546, 1548 and 1553 Thomas Chandler was one of the church wardens of Bishop-Stortford. Abstracts from his will follows: The Will of Thomas Chandler of Stortford dated 30 Mar 1554. To my son John Chandler and his heirs and assigns for ever the messuage I now dwell in, together with one garden in Basborm Lane to the said Messuage and one croft enclosed at Waldinge, of four acres, with one meadow by the waterside and one croft in Thorley that I late bought of Richard Pilleston, the said John paying yearly to Agneis, my wife, the rent of said premises during her life. It continues to name sons Thomas and Robert, Anne - daughter of son John, Barbara - daughter of son Thomas, son-in-law Richard Bedwell (married his daughter, Agnes)
