George CHANDLER was born on April 8, 1633 in Wilcot, Wiltshire, England. He died 
on December 13, 1687 in At Sea. A Record of the Descendants of George and Jane 
Chandler (Who emigrated to Pennsylvania From Wiltshire, England, in 1687) with a 
Pedigree of the Chandlers of Oare, Wiltshire by Chandler Family Reunion Committee 
1937 In the year 1686 John and George Chandler of Wiltshire removed to the Province 
of Pennsylvania. The date of their departure from England is fixed by a bond, dated 
31st March, 1686, given by John Chandler of Oare in the Parish of Wilcot and George 
Chandler of Great Hodge, both in the county of Wilts, to Robert Pyle of Stanton 
Bernard; by which the said John and George Chandler are jointly bounden for the 
repayment of a certain sum of money advanced them by the said Robert Pyle for the 
purposes of their intended voyage and venture. The said money was to be collected in 
Pennsylvania by Robert Pyle, jnr., and Nicholas Pyle (sons of the said Robert), who 
were duly empowered for that purpose by letters of attorney to them directed, and 
afterwards recorded in Pennsylvania. The English home of John and George Chandler 
is further certainly identified by the will of the above George Chandler, then of the 
township of Chichester, in the county of Chester and province of Pennsylvania, dated 
13th of 11th month 1699 (O. S.) (13 January, 1700, N.S.) wherein and whereby (smong 
other things) the testator doth give and bequeath unto one Richard Edmunds "of 
Worr" (Oare) in Wiltshire "in Old England," a sum of money due to the testator by 
George Chandler of Pennsylvania (testator's nephew), "to be disposed of as he 
(Richard Edmunds) shall think or see needful." 
The absence of vital records of the Chandler Family is due to the fact that the earlier 
generations of the family were not Friends. The earliest record found, in the registers 
of Concord Monthly Meeting, of a member of the Meeting named Chandler, is in 1724. 
In England, the Family were members of the Protestant Episcopal Church; so it is likely 
that after settling in Chichester, they attended St. Paul's Church, of Chester; St. 
Martin's, of Marcus Hook; or St. John's, of Concord - but early records of all these 
congregations - if records were kept - are lost. He was married to Jane.
