Born 1731 or 1732, dau. of William Hodges, a sea captain, and Mary (Clapp). [Other sources say she was born 1737 in Pomfret, CT. Please provide Vital Record or source if requesting a change to her birth year, thank you.] Her age at death in 1796 was 64, which fits the apx. birth year of 1732.

" 46 — MARY4 HODGES [7. Wms John2 Wm1] b. 1731 or 1732, Taunton, Mass. ; d. 1796 Sept. 14, Pomfret, Conn., of dropsy, aged 64 ; m. (1) 1753 July 5, Taunton, WILLIAM CHANDLER of Woodstock, Conn., son of William & Jemima (Bradbury) Chandler, b. 1728 March 10, Woodstock ; d. 1756 Feb. 3, Woodstock. She m.

"Mary4 Hodges was a noted beauty, and said by some of her descendants to have been the handsomest New England woman of her day. She was of medium height, slender and straight, with a fair complexion, brilliant red cheeks and dark hazel or black eyes. Her waist was so small that it was the envy of all the other girls. Bright and lively, as a young woman she was evidently of a coquettish disposition; but as a married woman she seems to have settled down, and became a steady member of the Woodstock and, later, the Pomfret church. A portrait of Mary, surrounded by her three oldest daughters, was painted by the artist-brother of her first husband."

"William Chandler, first husband of Mary, was a skilled joiner, whose artistic work was long preserved among the family heirlooms. He was an intimate friend of George4 Hodges, who invited him to accompany him on a visit to the Hodges family in Taunton. William went, met Mary and married her before he returned to Woodstock.

Peter Chandler, second husband of Mary, was a prominent citizen of Pomfret. He kept a tavern for a short time, and then a store, and during the last part of his life, having accumulated much property, lived on the Dennison farm. He was a man of great industry and business ability and held various town and church offices. His religious sentiments were "liberal" and his brethren in the church tried to restrain his wanderings.

William5 Chandler was for a time a merchant in Keene, 1ST. H. He then moved to Hanover, N. H., of which place he was a pioneer. He was a man of strong religious feelings and great mental power. In 1779 he founded at Hanover a Moravian Community, which was to have some things in common. His house was the center of operations. This community broke up after a year's experience.

Henry5 Chandler was a tailor. He plied his trade at Pomfret, and had for his sign a cabbage, painted life-size. Later he moved to Hanover where he had a farm near his brother William. He joined the Moravian Community, but coming to the conclusion that the lazier members were receiving undue benefits at the expense of the workers, he left the society, and so many followed his example that the community was dissolved.

Lemuel5 Chandler served in the Revolution. He was private in the 1st Co. 11th Conn. Reg't., which was called out in August, 1776, (when the British landed on Long Island and defeated the Americans there) and served in the vicinity of New York City during the operations in September and October. After the war he was in business with his father-in-law in Pomfret, Conn., and Providence, P. I. Later he went to Keene, N. H, where he was in trade with his halfbrother William, and then kept the Chandler House.

John Wilkes5 Chandler was a successful farmer. The first year of his married life he kept a tavern in Pomfret ; then he bought of his father the Chandler Homestead of 114 acres in Pomfret. He was a school-committeeman in 1799 and 1807, and a selectman 1804-5. He was commissioned Major of the 5th Conn. Cavalry Reg't. on May 19, 1805.

Dr. George6 Chandler was noted as physician, genealogist, citizen and friend. He was graduated at Union College in 1829, received his medical degree from Yale College in 1831, and immediately began practice in Worcester, Mass. From 1833 to 1842 he was Assistant Physician of the State Lunatic Hospital in Worcester. In 1842 he was appointed Superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum in Concord, N. H., the building having been erected on a plan submitted by himself. In 1846 he returned to Worcester and was given the superintendency of the Lunatic Hospital there. He remained in charge ten years and then resigned, having devoted 25 years to the care of the insane, and having gained the highest reputation. He retired from practice and spent the remainder of his life in historical and literary pursuits and travel. In 1862 he responded to the call for volunteer surgeons and went to Fortress Munroe, where he did good service. He compiled the large and excellent Chandler Genealogy. This was in the binder's hands, when the Great Boston Fire of 1872 destroyed the edition with the exception of a few copies. In Feb. 1882 he began, and in March 1883 completed, the second edition of the Chandler Genealogy. This work cost him, all told, from $18,000 to $20,000. He gave most liberal and courteous help in the preparation of this present genealogy, and took proper pride in his Hodges ancestry."

Note: My apologies for quoting the perhaps archaic and not currently appropriate term of "Lunatic" Hospital, and it reflects the time it was written in by the author.

Note: Her husband William Chandler's grandfather, John Chandler, (who d. 1721), was one of the first Deacon's of Woodstock Church and his Homestead was in the Eastern Vale (North Woodstock), located on the corner north of Mill Brook, abutting the Common on the north and west.
