Hi Carol--
Thanks for sharing your administration bond !!
But I want to make sure that I have the correct Swithin Chandler. I know of
at least two, and there may be more.
My Christopher Chandler is the son of Swithin Chandler [b. 1715] who married
Ann Wilson [b. 1720]. At least that’s the info I received from a Chandler
researcher who has a copy of the book, Chandler Record of the Descendants of
George and Jane Chandler, who Emigrated to Pennsylvania from Wiltshire,
England, in 1687, with a pedigree of Chandlers of Oare, Wiltshire, 1937 [762
pages].
Swithin Chandler [b. 1715] who married Ann Wilson is the son of another
Swithin Chandler [b. 1674] who married a woman, also named Ann [unknown last
name]. This info was in the Chandler book also.
So I’m thinking that the administration bond for your Thomas Garrett which
was written in 1710 is listing the OLDER Swithin Chandler [b. 1674] and his
wife Ann [unknown last name] as administrators. That Swithin would be the
grandfather of my Christopher. If I have any part of that incorrect, I am
absolutely open to correction !
Do you have independent information that proves that Ann is the daughter of
[or sister of] the Thomas Garrett named in the admin bond ? I note that it
does not state Ann’s relationship to Thomas in the admin bond, although there
would seem to be a close connection.
Thanks for your help !

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 deceased.
I am including your Christopher in my lineage. Thank you, Carol Garrett
