The first wife of Edmund Chandler, age estimated from estimated birth of children, died by 1632, the estimated birth of children by the second wife. she is not found in any records. Two wives are surmised because of the large gap between children.[1]

By his first wife Edmund had:

1. Samuel, married but had no known children.
2. (prob.) Lydia m Richard Higgins.
3. Child bur. Pierterskerk, Leiden 26 March 1619.

While some claim that Edmund Chandler's first wife was from the Barbados, there is no proof of that. In fact it is unlikely. The sugar left to Ann, Mary and Sarah Chandler in Edmund Chandler's will is most likely sugar left to Edmund by his son John, who died in 1653, and was probably a brother of Anna, Mary and Sarah. The will refers to sugar only, not to any plantation in Barbados.

Name: Elizabeth? Alden - She married a different Edmund Chandler. She was born many years too late to have been a wife to this Edmund.
