      Joan Mumford was born c. 1554, buried at Bishop's Stortford 29 June 1618, and married there 21 Sep 1574 Tobias Chandler, the son of Thomas Chander III and Joan Page. The identification of Thomas, and not John, as the father of Tobias Chandler, was made clear based on the will of John Page, grandfather of Tobias (see The American Genealogist, v.75, pp 50-57). Tobias was a legatee in the 1556 will of John Page. Children of Joan and Tobias, baptized at Bishop's Stortford:

      * (prob.) Tobias, bapt. 21 Sep 1575, m. 22 April 1604 Katherine Johnston; her will was dated April 1662 and proved 4 Oct 1662. Tobias was not named in the will of his presumed father (Tobias, Sr.), which brings into question whether he was a son or not. All other evidence, such as name and timing, indicate that he was a son. Tobias and Katherine had seven children, baptized from 1604/5 to 1612.

      * Margaret, bapt. 13 Oct 1577, d. Roxbury, Mass. 1646, m. (1) Albury, Herts. 2 April 1600 Henry MONCK, bur. B. Stort. 10 Dec 1602; m. (2) B. Stort. 7 Nov 1603 William DENISON.

      * George, bapt. 1 Nov 1581, d. B. Stort. 23 May 1628, m. _________ and had nine children baptized from 1601 to 1612

      * Robert, bapt. 31 March 1594, bur. B. Stort. 10 June 1638, m. 1617 Sarah _______. His will was declared 8 June 1638 and proved 23 July 1638, leaving all to wife Sarah to bring up the children, of whom he had nine born from 1618 to 1638.

      * Grace, bapt. 10 Sep 1598 [1]
