Biography
Isabella Chilton was the daughter of James Chilton (1556-1620) and Susannah Furner (1564-1621), who sailed to Plymouth Colony on the Mayflower and died in the first winter there, being recorded on the National Monument to the Forefathers.
Isabella Chilton was baptized on 1586/7. She married Roger Chandler in Leiden, Holland on July 21, 1615 and had four children. There is no record of Isabella's death. Bradford’s statement that Chilton had another daughter is the only proof that Isabella came to Plymouth. The family probably came to Plymouth in either 1629 or 1630 when Bradford states that “the rest of the Leiden contingent arrived”. There is also an earliest tax record showing Roger Chandler March 25, 1633. Chandler is also shown in a record of those men able to bear arms in 1643, and a land record in 1644. He is also listed as a Freeman in 1648. Chandler died in Duxbury between 1658 and 1665. In October 1665, the land in Plymouth Colony (150 acres) is granted to the three unnamed daughters of Roger Chandler, deceased.
