  In our ancestry there is only one Chandler family, but they are divided into three branches on this list, according to the line they married into. (Only two of the branches are documented on this page.) All three branches are descended from William Chandler, 1595-1641 (in Generation 15), who is counted among the "married to Phelps" ancestors, because his granddaughter, our ancestor Sarah Chandler, 1661-1757 (on this page), married into the Phelps family. (Since all the branches are eventually absorbed into the Phelps family, we should consider the "married to Phelps" branch the main one.)

  Now it begins to get confusing: William's daughter (Sarah's aunt), our ancestor Hannah Chandler, 1630-1711 (in Generation 14), married into the Abbott family, so she is counted among the "married to Abbott" ancestors, a category you can see on that page (but not on this one). Hannah's daughter (William's granddaughter, Sarah's first cousin) Hannah Abbott, 1650-1741 (on this page), married back into the Chandler family to another of William's grandchildren, her own first cousin John Chandler I, 1655-1721 (on this page), who happened to be Sarah's older brother; John is among the "married to Ballard" ancestors, because his granddaughter (William Chandler's great-greatgranddaughter, Hannah Chandler's greatgranddaughter, Sarah' Chandler's great niece) Lydia Chandler, b. 1720 (in Generation 11) married into the Ballard family (in Generation 10, the Ballard family married into the Phelps family).

  Another of John's granddaughters (Lydia Chandler's first cousin, Sarah Chandler's great niece, Hannah Chandler's greatgranddaughter, William Chandler's great-greatgranddaughter) Priscilla Chandler, 1713-1778 (in Generation 11) married directly into the Phelps family, but she is counted among the "married to Ballard" ancestors nonetheless, to keep all of John's offspring for three generations in a single branch. Besides, to include Priscilla among the "married to Phelps" ancestors might further muddy the waters, since there would be no easy way to distinguish between her Phelps branch union with that of her husband's grandmother (Priscilla's great aunt) Sarah Chandler, 1661-1757 (on this page).

  It should not surprise you that the Chandlers are featured prominently on the Kissing Cousins page. Charts can shed some light on some of these relationships:

  • The first-cousin relationship of spouses John Chandler I (1655-1721) and Hannah Abbott Chandler (1650-1741)
  • The second-cousin relationship of spouses Samuel Phelps II (1712-1795) and Priscilla Chandler Phelps (1713-1778)
  • The second-cousin relationship of spouses Joshua Phelps I (1738-1798) and Lois Ballard Phelps (1746-1836)
