I am fascinated with the correspondence about Hannah on the Chandler line. I have come to a brick wall on searching my ancestors in Peabody and Andover. So many of her family names seem similar to those I am seeking but I see no connection.Perhaps if I tell you what I have you may know someone who does. My mother was born Elsie May Chandler. Her father was George Bartlett Chandler born Jan 16,1861 in South Danvers, Mass. His first wife was Julia Annie Beckford[my grandmother] and his second Annie C. Blanchard. He had a sister Francis b.1854, a sister Anne b.1856 {she lived in New Boston N.H.] and a sister Mary Campbell Chandler who raised my mother on Andover St. Peabody. George's father was Samuel Chase Chandler born February 22,1827 in Randoph, Mass.Died in Peabody March 2,1895. Samuels wife was Mary Fairfield born 1828 in South Danvers..died Dec.12,1917 age 89 at 82 Andover St. Peabody where my mother was raised. Samuel's father was Danforth Chandler and his mother Hannah Madden. Danforth Chandler was baptized in Quincy,lived in Randolph until he was apparently warned out and then we lose track of him. His father was Joshua Spriggs Chandler and his mother Relief. His wife Hannah Madden. Joshua Spriggs Chandler was born May 2,1784 baptized in Quincy Christ Church' His father was William Chandler and his mother Susanna Spriggs.Joshua and Relief had Danforth, John and Samuel. William Chandler was born about 1759 ,married Dec. 1 in Hartford, Conn. and died Nov.9,1809 in Quincy, Mass. I do not have the name of his parents'He and Susanna had 7 children: Joshua,Mary,Susanna, William,Sarah,Frederic, and Ebenezer. So..who is this elusive Hannah Chandler in the area of my later Chandlers and could she somehow be a distant cousin. Did her Chandler's bring my Chandlers into the area to meet their wives? Questions. Questions. Questions. That is what genealogy is all about I guess!Wild speculation but hope for a tie in. Thank you for bearing with me.
