History of Susannah Chandler
In the late spring of 1781, Susannah Chandler's husband
Robert was away on a tour of service when the British robbed and burned their house and burned their farm fences. Susannah
had been warned that they were coming so she gathered her children and the other ladies and their children from the neighboring
farms to a nearby swamp where they hid among the alder bushes. Some of the children were hidden in tobacco hogsheads with
straw stuffed in the opening so they would not be heard. The families stayed there for several days until they were sure the
British had left the Orange County area. The Chandler home was the only home in the area to suffer damage from the British.
