I am of the 17th generation to have descended from Thomas. I am aware of two genealogical works that provide source information of Thomas' descendants. The first is an article from the "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", pp. 133-45, Vol 85, April, 1931 article, "The Ancestry of William Chandler of Roxbury, Mass.". This article identifies Thomas as the first Chandler known to have lived in Bishop's Stortford. It cites some primary sources of information on Thomas' approximately 108 descendants born in Bishop's Stortford. The second is the 1883 book written by Dr. George Chandler "The Chandler Family, The Descendants of William And Annis Chandler, Who Lived In Roxbury, Mass., 1637." This work catalogues nearly 5,000 descendants of William the great great grandson of Thomas. I invite correspondance from other descendants of Thomas and/or any researchers in the Bishop's Stortford area who may be able to help me identify additional facts and sources of information on the life and times of this bloodline. Thank you.
