Stricker Family Tree - Roger Chandler, Sayworker

Roger Chandler, Sayworker
Family Connection - 10th great-grandfather of Roy Ellsworth Stricker



Marker for site of first Duxbury Meeting House

Roger Chandler was born in 1586 and was baptized on May 22, 1586 in Little Bromley, Essex, England. At some unknown date, he joined the other Puritan separatists in Leiden, Netherlands. He married  Isabella Chilton there on July 21, 1615. Isabella Chilton was the daughter of Mayflower passenger James Chilton and his wife, who both died shortly after the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth in 1621. Roger and Isabella had four children:

            Samuel        b. bef. Oct. 1622        d. 1622
            Sarah           b. bef. 1622                d. 1675
            Mary            b. 1624                      d. 1658
            Martha         b. 1628                      d. 1674

Roger, Isabella, and their three daughters came to Plymouth form Leiden in 1632. Roger was named Freeman in 1633. He was a Sayworker - essentially a worker for hire. 

In 1640, Roger was granted twenty-five acres in Duxbury. The town of Duxbury split from the town of Plymouth in 1637. He sold that land in 1644, but apparently remained in Duxbury. Roger's actual date of death is unknown, but it was sometime between May 5, 1646, when he appears in court records about a dispute, and October 1665. In October 1665, one hundred fifty acres were granted to "the three sisters, the daughters of Roger Chandler, deceased, to each of them fifty acres". Roger's wife, Isabella, does not appear in any records after her arrival, so it is not known when she died. Burial locations for Roger and Isabella are not known.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne.
