Person:Robert Chandler (20)

He was an executor of his father's will in 1554, paid an assessment of 10d on the churchwardens' accounts in 1558, and was taxed at Bishops-Stortford 2s 8d on lands valued at 20s in the subsidy of 5 Elizabeth [1562-66], and 10s 8d on goods valued at L4 in the subsidy of 39 Elizabeth [1596-97]. (Lay Subsidies, Herts, 121/202, 121/208, 121/271.)

In 1570 John Miller was querent v. Robert Chaundeler and his wife Joan, deforciants, for a messuage in Stortford (Feet of Fines, Herts, Easter Term, 12 Elizabeth).

On 6 Apr 1583, 24 Sept 1583 and 27 Sept 1585, Robert Chaundler appears as one of the chief pledges at courts and views of frankpledge held for the manor of Stortford (Court Rolls of Ecclesiastical Commissioners, 206/2, 206/3, in the Public Records Office, Londong).

He left no will; and, as the parish registers do not give the name of the parents of infants baptied prior to 1580, the list of his children that follows, while probably correct, should not be considered as positively proved.

1. Frances, bapt 6 Dec 1562; d. young
2. Mary, b. perhaps about 1565; bur 4 Nov 1582
3. Frances, bapt 6 Jan 1567/8; bur. 11 Jan 1574/5
4. Thomas, bapt 5 Feb 1569/70; bur. 30 May 1571
5. Richard, bapt 16 Feb 1572/3; living at Bishops-Stortford in 1614; m. ____, and has children as follows:

• Robert, bapt 24 June 1601.
• Elizabeth, bapt 17 Oct 1602; probably m 1 Nov 1624 John Gryce
• Johane, bapt. 19 Aug 1604
• Richard, bapt 10 Apr 1614

1. Thomas, bapt 6 Nov 1575; bur 9 Sep 1597
