No sources were given for the information. If there are any of you fellow researches who might be in that vicinity or have access to any records which might be relevant, I would be most appreciative of your input. The marriage was supposedly between Henry Roswell Chandler (a Wm. and Annis descendant) and Theophilus Bates. Theophilus is a common name for a male, but this is the first I have heard of it being used for a female. Thus I would like to verify the accuracy of this marriage record.. Henry Roswell was the son of John Chandler and Esther Painter., grandson of ThomasChandler and Elizabeth Elliott, g-gs of John "C" and Mary Raynomd, gg-gs of John "C" and Elizabeth Douglas, ggg-gs of William "C" and Annis Agnes Bayford.
