Roger Chandler of Colchester England, married Isabella Chilton at Leiden, Holland on 21 July 1615.

Isabella Chilton was the older daughter of Mayflower passengers James and Susanna Chilton.

He was taxed in Plymouth 25 March 1633, and listed as a freeman the same year. This is believed to be the earliest record of him in New England.

He was enumerated among those able to bear arms in Duxbury in 1643, and sold land there in 1644.

He was listed among freemen of Duxbury in a tally presumed taken in 1658.

In October 1665 the Plymouth Court granted 150 acres of land to the three (unnamed) daughters of Roger Chandler deceased.

At least four children of Roger and Isabella have been identified:

1. Samuel was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622.

2. Sarah was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. She married Solomon Leonard/Leonardson about 1640 and had six children. He died in Bridgewater before 1 May 1671. She died in Bridgewater before 27 Oct 1675.

3. Martha was born probably in the late 1620s. She married John Bundy by 1649 and had six children. She died in Taunton on 1 May 1674. He died in Taunton in 1681.

4. Mary was likely born in the late 1620s. She married
Edmund Bruff by 1653 and had one son. She probably is the "Mary, wife of Edmund Burfe" who died in Boston on
August 15, 1658.

Part of the evidence for these children is a deed from Plymouth Colony to the daughters dated October 1665 in which Roger Chandler is reported to be deceased.

Roger died probably at Duxbury, between 1658 and Oct 3, 1665.
