Now it begins to get confusing: William's daughter (Sarah's aunt), our ancestor Hannah Chandler, 1630-1711, married into the Abbott family, so she is counted among the "married to Abbott" ancestors. Hannah's daughter (William's granddaughter, Sarah's first cousin) Hannah Abbott, 1650-1741, married back into the Chandler family to another of William's grandchildren, her own first cousin John Chandler I, 1655-1721, 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 married into the Ballard family (in the next generation, 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 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.
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:
