If your Leiden location is accurate then it is more likely that he came
to Barbadoes from your Leiden location. Then from there to Plymouth
Colony. He did own property in Barbadoes which was left to three
daughters in
his will.
There are many variants to the spelling of the name 'Chandler'.
Mary Chandler Lowell is daughter of Mary Esther Chandler [Charles,
Peleg, Peleg, Philip, Joseph, Joseph, Edmund]
This is Mary Chandler Lowell blowing her own horn in the book:
"Mary Chandler, b. Jan 1 1863, in Foxcroft. Member of the class of
1883, Mt. Holyoke; M. D. Medical School, 1886; House Surgeon,
Lucretia Mott Infirmary, New York, 1886; Third Asst. Supt., Maine
Insane Hospital, Augusta, 1886-91, the first woman to hold such a
position in the State of Main; Member Main Medical Association; studied
New York Medical College and Vienna, 1891; visited very many of the
hospitals for insane in Europe; Resident Physician and Lecturer on
Physiology at Mt. Holyoke, 1891-99; Student Cornell University Law
School, 1900; admitted to the Masa. bar, Fen., 1903; grad. Boston
University,
with degrees of LL.B. and J.B., 1903, and J.M. 1904."
I don't know if the book is available from the LDS Family History
Library. The book is in the New England Historic Genealogical
Society Lending Library.
The only reference of significance I find in the NEHGR is an abstract
of the will of Edmund Chandler.
