Capt Thomas Chandler and Hannah Brewer were the parents of Hannah Chandler
who married my Daniel Bixby.Dec 2, 1674. All reports say she was born in
Andover
but I have not been able to find her in any Vital Records of Andover.
I belive your William is My Thomas Chandlers Brother. as the William
Chandler baptised 20 Marach 1635/6 Married first Mary Dane married 2nd
Bridget Henchman, they also had a sister Hannah but that is not my hannah
she married George Abbot, m.2nd Francis Dane.. There were & children in all
two died young. These are the children of William Chandler and Annis
Bayford. Who is the generation that came over from England on the Abigail.
a ship in the Winthrop Fleet. Annis married John Dane then John Parmenter.
Also most every generation had a Hannah and a lot of the sons also had
daug. named Hannah.
opes this helps you clear up the confusion.
Some of this came out of a privately published book "William and Annis
Chandler's
Descendants. Compiled by Helen Hunt Reed. of Toledo, Oh. in Dec 1983.
There is also a great article on the Chandlers in the NEHGR 1931, April ,
Vol 85. pages 133-145. This article has 4 generation of Chandlers back in
England and William and his Children here in New England.
I still have no date for Hannah.

I am slightly confused; Was Chandler Hannah's maiden name (note above:
her
parents were Capt Thomas and Hannah Brewer and she married Daniel
Bixby.)
One of my ancestors is Joseph Chandler who was born in Andover, MA in
1682
and who had a sister named Hannah, but their parents were William and
Mary
(ne:Dane) Chandler; they were married in 1658.
William Chandler, whose birthdate I do not have, had a brother named
Thomas
(and a sister named Hannah). Both Hannah and Thomas seem to have
been
popular family names in the Chandler family during that period.
I am not sure if I have any information that will help you, but if you
could
clear up my confusion about Capt Thomas (Chandler or Brewer) and
Hannah
(Brewer/Chandler - birth/married name?), maybe I could add a little
information to help your search.
Sincerely,
Betty
