Paper trail

Edmund Chandler and Roger Chandler were contemporaries in Leiden and both emigrated to Plymouth Colony about 1632. It is believed they are brothers, but proof of any relationship has not been found. Given the fact they were both Leiden Separatists, it is possible they were grandsons of John Chandler, who died in County Poulry Prison in London (jailed for non-conformity) before May 1589 and his wife Alyce/Alice _____.^[1]

Edmund emigrated to Plymouth by 1632, but it is unknown if he was then married or married in Plymouth shortly after arrival.

2. ↑ There is an assumption that daughters Sarah, Anna and Mary were all by the same mother, as they were mentioned together in Edmund's will.
3. ↑ Joseph's will names a grandson John Chandler, but which of Joseph's sons was his father is currently unknown.
4. ↑ When his widow (and her second husband, Pelatiah West) divided her late husband's estate (10 Aug 1729) no mention was made of any children.

DNA Results R1b-FGC48713

Previous testing

FTDNA's Chandler DNA Project^[1] subgrouping: Group 013 has a number of folks who claim Edmund Chandler as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) and are also close Y-STR matches. Two of these individuals have SNP tested to: R1b-U106>>U198>DF93>DF94>FGC48723>FGC48713

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing is needed to confirm the prediction (above) as well as potentially further refine the haplogroup.
