Dec 24,1803, Duxbury,MA; Married Sally W. SAMPSON in 1827.I believe she was the daughter of Perez H.SAMPSON and Sally (WESTON) CHANDLER, Asa, b Nov 10, 1771, Duxbury,MA, father of above Nathaniel, married Dianna SIMMONS of Kingston, MA. CHANDLER, Asa, b 1738, Duxbury, MA; married Martha (DELANO), father of the above Asa.

CHANDLER, Keturah married Abraham(3) SAMPSON SAMPSON,Abraham(3), son of Abraham(2) and Lorah STANDISH SAMPSON, Abraham(2) son of Abraham(1) SAMPSON and ____Nash SAMPSON, Abraham (1) arrived 1629 brother of Mayflower Pilgrim HenrySAMPSON STANDISH, Lorah above wife of Abraham(30 was the daughter of Alexander STANDISH and Sarah (ALDEN) STANDISH, Alexander , son of Myles Standish and Barbara_____ STANDISH, Mylies - MAYFLOWER Pilgrim ALDEN, Sarah above wife of Alexander STANDISH, daughter of John ALDEN and Priscilla MULLINS both of whom were MAYFLOWER Pilgrims ****************************************************************************************** STANDISH, Mercy and Lydia were sisters of above Lorah.

Chandler, as age 44, which would mean a birth year of about 1806. Yet Duxbury VR p. 142 has Sally W., dau. Perez H. and Sally Sampson b. Sep. 30, 1812. Furthermore Kingston VR p. 274 has marriage of Sally W. Sampson and Nathaniel L. Chandler of Duxbury, Jan. 4, 1827. Perhaps you know the Duxbury VR is wrong, or perhaps I have the wrong people, or perhaps the meds from my medical procedure this morning are still working and I'm even loopier than usual. Do you have more on that so that we'll know whether to try to follow up with Perez? Also you have mentioned a marriage of Keturah Chandler (dau. Benj.) and Abraham Sampson (son Abraham and Lorah Standish Sampson). I don't know if that's an important part of what you're doing, but I think that should be Nathaniel, another of Lorah's sons--see MD 9:108 for instance. It's hard to imagine that there are not several Mayflower lines connected to this Chandler line. With Dale looking into this you should know a lot more soon. (Where does he get all his wonderful toys?)
