Here is a chart showing one leg of the descent from William Chandler, 1595-1641, and Annis Bayford Chandler, 1603-1683, in Generation 15 (that is, 15 generations from the "leading-edge generation") down to our ancestors in Generation 4. This leg of the descent goes through Thomas Chandler, 1628-1703 (the other leg goes through Thomas's sister Hannah Chandler Abbott, 1630-1711).
