  • Notes 
    • Doug notes 2008:
      Research by the Edmund Chandler Family Association, considered many genealogies proposed or assumed, and sometimes published for Edmund. The results reported by Dick Chandler (http://www.edmundchandler.com/Documents/originate.html) states that there is no known, documented lineage for this Edmund Chandler. He has been associated with a number of known Edmund Chandlers, but without documentation, and often documents do exist which disprove or tend to disprove those associations.

      Edmund apparently had two wives, and what is and isn't proven is a complex subject. The list of children given here, may or may not all be his proven children, and may have been by more than one wife.

      In Edmund's will, Lydia's name is absent because she was deceased:
      [Pope, p. 93]: Edmund Chandler/Chaundler, creditor of Godbert Godbertson, frm 1633; res. at D uxbury 1636-7; constable; appraiser of est. of Wm. Thomas. Will dated 3 May, prob. 4 June 1662, being old. Req. to children Samuel, Benjamin, Joseph, Sarah, Ann, Mary and Ruth.
