Chandler, Edmund (abt 1580 - 1662)
My Wifes 10G Grandfather
http://www.edmundchandler.com - says he never married Elizabeth Alden. Looks like I need to some more research.
1629 or 1630
Edmund most likely left Holland for Plymouth during this period. Isaac Allerton and Mr. Sherley facilitated the emigration of the remaining members of Rev. Robinson’s congregation, of which Edmund was a member, who wished to leave Holland. (From Plymouth Colony)
Alden, Elizabeth (1591- )
My Wifes 10G Grandmother
Did not arrive on the Mayflower, but was in the Plymouth Colonies.
Mayflower Births and Deaths, Vol 1 and 2: Discusses the children of Edmund Chandler and Elizabeth Alden. John Alden who was a few years younger than our Elizabeth did arrive on the Mayflower, but I don't have all the relationships figured out yet.
