To the members of the Chandler family:


	Last year most of you received a copy of my first book, The  Ancestry 
of Harry Chandler.  As I explained then, I had too much material to 
combine the ancestry of Marian Otis Chandler with that of her husband 
Harry, and so I planned then to do another book in two years time.  
 This is that second book, and it is constructed using the same format.  
Most of the information has been gathered from research done over 
the past twenty eight years, both in libraries and research facilities 
in Southern California, and in town halls and cemeteries in New England.  
It is work that will be never completed, since there is always something 
more to learn, and  there will always be blanks on the charts, but 
I have been unusually successful, and it seemed time to gather all 
the facts together.


	The first section concerns Marian Otis's childhood and adult years, 
as Harry's wife, and the mother of Fran, May, Connie, Ruth, Norman, 
Harrison, Philip and Helen.


	The next section is concerned with the lives of Marian's parents, 
Harrison Gray Otis and Eliza Ann Wetherby Otis, and her grandparents, 
Stephen and Sarah Dyar Otis, and Charles and Nancy Wetherby.  Please 
refer to the chart in the front of the book, and the  larger  chart 
in the  back  of the book to see how these names fit in.   I was very 
fortunate to meet a gentleman named Steven Thal this summer who had 
just returned from the island of St. Paul's in the Pribiloff Islands 
where Harrison Gray Otis and his wife Eliza Wetherby Otis had lived 
during the years 1880, 1881, and 1882 (they called them the Seal Islands).  
Steve, who is a fellow Councillor of the Save-the-Redwoods League, 
 had gone there as a bird watcher, since it is one of the prime bird 
hatcheries in the world.  Since it has about the harshest weather 
in the world as well, very few people do go there at any time.  I 
told him about Eliza's journal, which I had transcribed a few years 
ago, and he told me about his pictures, which he had not had time 
to have developed.  We agreed to trade my journal for color prints 
of his slides.  I had always thought I wanted to go to the Pribiloffs, 
if only to satisfy my curiousity about what Eliza had written about.  
My delight at seeing a picture of the Church which she describes in 
such detail, was complete.  I think I probably won't make the trek 
to the Pribiloffs after all.

 

	The final sections deal with what I know about the families of these 
four grandparents, the Otises, Dyars, Wetherbys and Hydes.  They are 
old families in New England,  and I have been very fortunate in being 
able to discover the identities of a great many of these direct ancestors.  
Like Harry's ancestors, most of them  stayed close to the soil until 
the end of the last century, living on farms or in small towns.   
 


	I hope that you enjoy this addition to your family history library.  
We have a fascinating family, and one we can all be proud of.






                                THE ANCESTRY OF MARIAN OTIS CHANDLER	


			          INTRODUCTION



	The first boat of immigrants to arrive in New England was the Mayflower.  
It landed in November 1620.  Subsequent immigrants who arrived before 
1650 are grouped together as "Second Boat Ancestors."  Marian Otis, 
through her father, Harrison Gray Otis, and her mother, Eliza Ann 
Wetherby Otis,  is descended from many men and women who immigrated 
to America in the seventeenth century.  I have identified over one 
hundred and twenty  of these Second Boat ancestors.


	Marian Otis was an eighth generation descendant of John Otis, the 
immigrant ancestor.  She would be identified this way: Marian 8, Harrison 
7, Stephen 6, Barnabas 5, Joseph 4, Joseph 3, John 2, John 1.  She 
was an eighth generation descendant of  John Wetherbee, the immigrant 
ancestor.  She would be identified this way: Marian 8, Eliza 7, Charles 
Thomas 6, Ephraim 5, Ephraim 4, Paul 3, Ephraim 2, John 1.  


	John Otis was born in Glastonbury, Somerset, England in 1581.  He 
embarked for America in 1630, settling in Hingham, Plymouth Colony, 
Massachusetts.  The family lived in Hingham, Weymouth, and finally 
settled in Scituate, where they lived for two generations.  Joseph 
 Otis moved to New London, Connecticut, where the family lived  for 
close to eighty years.   The family then moved to northwest Connecticut 
to the village of Norfolk, and from there north to Rutland  County, 
Vermont, Herkimer County, New York, and finally west to Washington 
 County, Ohio.   Stephen and Barnabas  died in Ohio.  Harrison Gray 
Otis,  and his family  came to Santa Barbara, California in 1876, 
the first in our family to do so.


	John Wetherby is said to have been born in Yorkshire about 1642.  
He emigrated to the New World in the 1660s, past the period known 
as the Second Boat immigration.  The family settled in Middlesex, 
Massachusetts, living in the towns of  Sudbury, Marlborough and Stow.

Later generations moved to the town of Lunenberg, Worcester, Massachusetts, 
and from there to Fitchburg in Worcester County, and  finally  north 
to  New Hampshire.  They moved to Washington County, Ohio in the 1850s.


	Our family is eligible to belong to several genealogical organizations 
through the Otis family.  Two Mayflower passengers,  Richard Warren 
and John Alden,  are direct ancestors of Stephen Otis.  Because of 
them, we can apply for membership in the Society of the Mayflower.  
There are many ancestors who served in the Revolution.  Since Stephen 
Otis arrived in Ohio before  1820, we are eligible for a group called 
First Families of Ohio.  Sarah Dyer's family came from a family of 
Loyalists, which makes us eligible for another group.

	

	As I showed in the Chandler book, Moses and Emma Jane Chandler were 
fifth cousins.  Harry Chandler and Marian Otis were seventh cousins, 
through their common ancestor, Nathaniel Merrill.
