You will be pleased to know that I can supply you with the parents of this
Swithin Chandler. They were Swithin Sr. and ANN GARRETT. I am a Garrett
researcher and am enclosing Admin. Bond of Thomas Garrett Jun. in 1710. Swithin
Chandler AND his wife, ANN, were Admin. Surely in 1710 the wife would only be
mentioned if she were related and first important to the desceased.
I am including your Christopher in my lineage. Thank you, Carol Garrett
