The source has some errors, primarily the name of Bial CHANDLER's second wife (which is correctly Betsey WHITNEY rather than Elizabeth WHITING), however it does confirm other basic dates for this relationship. Children from this marriage were Mary Ella (b. 1 Aug 1852) and Eliab Andrew (b. 24 May 1858).
