SAMUEL CHANDLER, formerly a sailor, occupied the "Breed farm," 82, A. D., for several years about 1850-1860, but ap- parently he was not a member of either of the families con- sidered here.
CHANDLER (WILLIAM).
WILLIAM1 CHANDLER, d. 1641; m. Annis - [d. Mar. 17, 1683]. With wife and four children he settled in Roxbury in 1637. His widow m. (1) John Dane; (2) John Parmenter of Sudhary. The church records say "1683 m. 1; d. 17; died old Mother Parmenter a blessed saint."

He was one of the early settlers in Andover, Mass., and represented that town in the General Court. From him Hon. William Eaton10 Chandler, U. S. Senator from New Hampshire, is a descendant (John3, John4, John5, John6, John7, Nathan8, Nathan S.9). His lineage does not appear in the published history of the family, but was discovered later and preserved by the author of that work.
WILLIAM2 (William1), b. about 1634; d. 1698; m. (1) 1658, Mary, dau. of Dr. John and Eleanor (Clark) Dane [b. Ipswich, Mass., 1638; d.

He was a brickmaker at Andover, and afterward an innkeeper on the "Ipswich road to Billerica."

JOSEPH3 (William2, William1), b. 1679; d. Apr. 23, 1734; m. Mehitable Russell. Res. at Andover, Mass.
WILLIAM4 (William3, Thomas2, William1), b. July 20, 1689; d. July 27, 1756; m. Susanna Burge of Westford, Mass. He seems to have been a resident at Billerica and also at Chelmsford, Mass., for a considerable time, but he died at Westford, Mass.
JOSIAH4 (William3, William2, William1), b. Dec. 28, 1683; d. Aug. 12, 1752; m. Sarah Ingals. He was a farmer in Andover, Mass.
1. MEHITABLE4 (Joseph3, William2, William1), b. Andover, Mass .; m. (1) Feb. 7, 1732, Robert Crosby of Townsend, Mass .; (2) Nov. 26, 1745, Andrew Spaulding (1).
MOSES5 (William4, William3, Thomas2, William1), b. Aug. 19, 1720; d. Wilton, Me., Mar. 16, 1800; m. (1) June 28, 1742, Dorothy Marble [b. Sept. 23, 1719; d. Apr. 11, 1760]; (2) Mar. 19, 1762, Elizabeth Kendal of Litchfield [b. May, 1725; d. Sept. 7, 1806]. He was a blacksmith. He served in the French War. Removed to Winthrop, Me., where he was a member of the Committee of Inspection and Safety.
2. JOHN5 (William4, William3, Thomas2, William1), b. Chelmsford, Mass., Sept. 27, 1725; d. Jan. 10, 1812; m. Feb. 14, 1754, Lydia Taylor of Townsend, Mass. He was one of the very early settlers in New Ipswich, and he agreed to build mills there, the sawmill to be in operation as early as the last of October, 1750, and the cornmill within the following year. In consideration of this agreement he received a full town right including the falls near the present High Bridge, he giving bonds for £400 new tenor, amounting in value to about $140, for satisfactory performance of the contract. The mills were built and kept in running order for ten years, and despite occasional complaints concerning the service, it may be be- lieved that they proved as efficient as could reasonably have been expected under the conditions of the time and place. In 1768 he sold the business to Capt. Eleazer Cummings and re- moved to Winthrop, Me., where he made a similar contract. He was chairman of the first board of selectmen in his new location, as also in later years town treasurer for a long time, and he seems to have been a leading citizen. He was father of a numerous family, three children being added to the nine borne upon the New Ipswich records. Children :

8. ii. NOAH, b. Apr. 25, 1756. He is said to have served in the Revolution, to have been taken prisoner, and held despite an offer from his father to give a negro in exchange, an offered ransom the value of which may perhaps be esti- mated by his later sale for a gun and a watch.
