Some corrections to my earlier reply, and an apology for responding at 6:00
am before I'm any where near ready:
1. Moriarty's article is in the Register Vol. 85, No. 2, not 3
2. When I "corrected" the ref. to Hertsfordshire I was thinking Hereford.
Sorry.
3. Moriarty has Farnham, co. Essex, not co. Surrey. There is a Farnham
just to the northwest of Bishops-Stortford, and Moriarty specifies "the
parish north of Bishops-Stortford." There's a Farnham in Surrey, but that's
diagonally on the other side of London from Bishops-Stortford. How parishes
and counties relate to one another and how sixteenth century boundaries
relate to today's are completely beyond me and I don't know why Moriarty
says Essex instead of Hertford, which is what it looks like to me on a map,
but I'm pretty sure Surrey isn't right.
Maybe if we have some English cousins on this list they could help--it's
been 400 years since we were back in the old neighborhood and the details
get fuzzy.

I don't know the source of this particular information as it
appears to conflict in some particulars with what is generally accepted.
G. Andrews Moriarty contributed an article to the Register (Vo..
85, # 3, April, 1931), "Ancestry of William Chandler of Roxbury,
Mass." which gives this date for bp. at Bishops-Stortford, Herts,
NOT Hertfordshire (p. 142). Moriarty quotes Roxbury Land &
Church Records for the date of death. William is said to have
come to New England--to Roxbury--in 1637, not 1629 (which, 1629,
would have been rather early for a migration to that place).
The baptism of Annis is found as you have it in Moriarty's
article, p. 142, and on p. 143 Moriarty quotes Roxbury church
records giving the death date you have. She married twice
subsequent to William's death.
A somewhat fuller treatment of William is Given in George
Chandler's _Chandler Family_(Boston, 1872) which is available on
CD from Broderbund (#207) and is available as a high quality
reprint from NEHGS, but it looks to me as though Moriarty was
probably the misquoted source for what you have here.
