Glover, ancestor of the Chandler family of America. Although Henry Chandler's baptism is not recorded and his father left no will, it is nevertheless clear that he was a son of Thomas Chandler, as he succeeded to the moiety of the double house occupied by the latter, and is recorded for paying rent there until 1619, when his widow replaces him in the rental rolls. Excpet for mentions of his name in the parish registers, no other information about Henry Chandler has been found, apart from his will: The Will of Henry Chandeler of Stortford, co.
