This page: Genetic Chandler Family 9 |
John David Chandler and Maude A. McCalla
This Chandler family is part of Group 9 in the Chandler DNA Project. Group 9 is composed of descendants of William and Annis Chandler of Roxbury, Massachusetts, formerly of Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire, England. At right are John David Chandler and wife Maude with daughter Gladys Ruth Chandler (1905-1932) in a photo made in April 1906. The lineage from the recognized ancestor of Group 9 to John David Chandler is as follows: Dick Chandler, co-administrator of the Chandler DNA Project, wrote: “We have a DNA project participant whose test showed that he belongs to that genetic family – he descends from John David Chandler’s brother, Boyd Franklin Chandler . . . . We were very glad to have this DNA confirmation, because George Chandler’s magnum opus of William and Annis descendants stops with the birth of Joseph Chandler in 1786 in NH. The DNA result confirmed that this was the same Joseph who moved to OH and continued the line there, which went > John Sanborn Chandler > Jacob Franklin Chandler > John David Chandler.”
Gerald, son of John David Chandler, and Ruth had three children: James Norman Chandler (living), Michael David Chandler (1939-2006), and Ruth Anne Chandler Salyers Rees (living). Michael David Chandler is shown in the photo at left. CFA member Jerry Rees, a great-grandson of John David Chandler and grandson of Gerald David Chandler, has submitted these photographs and information that will help bring this family up to date in CFA records.

1932 Moore-Chandler Family Reunion
Elizabeth Moore, descendent of William & Annis Chandler. Her most recent chandler is Orpha Chandler & William Moore. Here is a photo of the 1932 Moore-Chandler family reunion. Elizabeth believes the reunion took place in Madison, WI at the Gisholt Home for the Aged that Orpha & Will were running. This photo would have been in front of their residence and the building in the back should be the nursing home.
The identifications were acquired from people in the early 2000’s, trying to identify the attendees before many of the elders in the family passed. As such, some attendees are not identified and some may be misidentified. If you can provide further identifications or corrections, please contact Eileen at
