Possible Mistaken Identity

This profile is for Sarah Chandler, the daughter of Roger Chandler, and Isabella Chilton.

She is not to be confused with Sarah, the daughter of Edmund Chandler, who migrated from Leiden to Duxbury 1632. His wives are unknown. His daughter Sarah was mentioned in her father's will of May 3, 1662; she is estimated to have been born about 1638. There is no further record of her.^[1]

Some genealogies indicate that she was the Sarah who married Moses Simmons (Symonson), but there is no serious evidence to support this. This Sarah was married to Solomon Leonard at the time that Moses Simmons would have been married to Sarah.
