Person:John Chandler (27)

Sold a dwelling to John Denison 1563.

From S1:

He was a considerable legatee in his father's will of 1554, and was also named in it as an executor. But little mention of him, however, has been found. In 1563 John Denyzon was querent v. John Chaundeler and his wife Joane, deforciants, for a messuage and lands in Stortford (Feet of Fines, Herts, Easter Term, 5 Elizabeth, in the Public Record Office, London). At a court and view of frankpledge of the manor of Stortford, held 16 May 1581/2, John Chandler appears as one of the chief pledges (Court Rolls of Ecclesiastical Commissioners, 206/2 in the Public Record Office, London). As he left no will, and as the parish registers of Bishops-Stortford do not give the names of the parents of children baptized before 1580, the names of his children are known with certainty, but are probably here as given.
