According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
Hannah Winder, born about 1766 in Bucks County, PA, married William Chandler on 29 March 1797 in Washington County, PA, according to records of Westland Meeting of the Friends' Society. Hannah moved into the Northwest Territory with her husband in 1797. Hannah and William Chandler apparently had but one child, Rebecca Chandler, born 11 November 1798 in the Quaker settlement of High Bank, Ohio, south of Chillicothe. There is some evidence that Hannah Winder Chandler died 18 October 1803, probably in Dry Run, Ross County, Ohio. According to Perdue (cited above) Rebecca Chandler became the wife of Alexander Bell and lived in Iowa. John Winder's will named Rebecca Chandler as the "only child of my late daughter Hannah", and the later codicil to that will names her as "Rebecca Bell". Rebecca Chandler married Alexander Bell on 2 January 1818 in Ross County, Ohio. They apparently moved to Vermilion County, Illinois before 1829. Their first five children were born in Ross County, Ohio, while the last five were born in Vermilion County, Illinois. They are believed to have moved to Pleasant Plain, Iowa in 1839, from Vermilion County, Illinois.
