Freeman Chandler was born 15 Jul 1801 in Poland, Maine, a son of Ichabod Chandler and Olive Chandler.^[1]

The 1850 U.S. Census recorded Freeman Chandler, age 49 and a farmer, in New London Township, Henry County, Iowa. Other household members were Estill Chandler, female, age 53; John Chandler, 21; Freeman Chandler, 20; Esther Ann Chandler, 19; and Olive F Chandler, 9. All household members were born in Maine except for Olive, who was born in Ohio.^[2]

The 1860 U.S. Census recorded Freeman Chansler, age 58 and a farmer, in Springfield Township (Cuba post office), Allen County, Indiana, with Esther Chansler, age 60, John Chansler, age 30, and Olive Chansler, age 18. Albion and Esther were recorded as born in Maine, while John and Olive were born in Ohio.
