Thanks to those who reponded to my inquiry. Things get "curiouser and curiouser". Reviewing several sources, this is what I find on William Chandler: He was born 1595, and died either 19 Jan. 1641/2 or 19 June 1641 He married 1st Alice Thorogood (or Thurgood) in 1621. He married second 6 Nov 1625 Ann/Annie/Agnes/Anmer/Annis/Hannah whose surname was either Bayford (daughter of Francis) or it was Hooker (sister of the Rev. Thomas Hooker and widow of George Alcock). Ann/Annie/Agnes/Anmer/Annis/Hannah Chandler married second (or 3rd), 2 July 1643, John Dane; and third (or 4th), 1660, John Parmenter. She died 15 Mar.,1683. Among children were Thomas who married Hannah Brewer; and Hannah who married 1st, George Abbott and 2nd, Francis Dane (of Salem witch trial fame). At least I got my questioned answered: Thomas was the son of the second not the first marriage. Now, would someone please tell me what we REALLY know? Help! Bert
