Chandler-Cleaveland Family Papers, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The Chandler-Cleaveland family line began with the marriage of Peleg Whitman Chandler (1816-1889) to Martha Ann Bush Cleaveland (1812-1881) on November 30, 1837. Peleg Whitman Chandler (Bowdoin 1834) was born in New Gloucester, Massachusetts (now Maine), on April 12, 1816, to Peleg Chandler Jr. and Esther Parsons Chandler. Chandler was an attorney in Boston, Massachusetts (1837-1889), City Solicitor (1846), Member of the Massachusetts legislature (1845-1847), and of the Executive Council (1853); and Trustee of Bowdoin College (1871-1889). In 1838 he established the Law Reporter and compiled American Criminal Trials. Martha Ann Bush Cleaveland was the daughter of Martha Bush and Parker Cleaveland, a scientist and long-time member of Bowdoin's faculty (1805-1858), who taught chemistry, mineralogy, and natural philosophy as well as in the Medical School of Maine. Martha Anne Cleaveland's brother John Appleton Cleaveland (1819-1873, Bowdoin 1840), was a businessman in Brunswick and Boston, and a clerk at the U. S. Treasury in Boston (1862-1873). Peleg Whitman and Martha Chandler had three children: Ellen Maria Chandler (1839-1908); Horace Parker (1842-1919), a poet; and Parker Cleaveland (1848-1908), an attorney in Boston and New York City.
Horace Parker Chandler was born in Boston, September 13, 1842. He attended Boston Latin School and Harvard University, graduating in the Class of 1864, after which he moved to Chicago to work as a lawyer. Poor health forced him to change careers, and within a year he became a partner in a publishing venture, E. B. Meyers and Chandler. In 1865 he married Grace Webster Mitchell (1843-1915). The couple relocated to Boston in 1868, where Horace opened a real estate and brokerage firm in 1869, a venture he maintained until 1916. Chandler wrote extensively for various newspapers and published a number of books, including several books of poems. He and Grace had six children: Cleaveland Angier Chandler (1867-1937), Grace Florence Chandler (1870-?), Whitman Mitchell Chandler (1876–1899), Ellen Chandler Quinn (1880-?), James Mitchell Chandler (1882-1951), and Peleg Whitman Chandler (1884-1963). Horace P. Chandler passed away on June 7, 1919.
Grace Chandler (born 1870) and Ellen Chandler Quinn (born 1880) were the daughters of Horace P. Chandler and Grace Webster Mitchell. Both daughters remained in the family's Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, home for many years following their parents' death, only separating when Grace married later in life.
Theophilus P. Chandler (1807-1886) was the brother of Peleg W. Chandler. Chandler practiced law in Boston for more than forty years, fifteen of which he shared offices and at one time partnerned with John A. Andrew (Bowdoin 1837), a prominent anti-slavery lawyer and Governor of Massachusetts during the Civil War. Chandler served as the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at the Customs House in Boston from 1863 to 1868.
Charles Peleg Chandler (Bowdoin 1854; 1835-1862) was the nephew of Peleg W. Chandler and Theophilus P. Chandler. Charles was born on January 4, 1835, in Foxcroft, Maine, to Charles Parsons Chandler (Bowdoin 1822), who was an attorney and Maine State Senator (1854-1857), and Sarah Wheeler Chandler. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1857, he worked as an attorney in the law office of Gov. John A. Andrew. During the Civil War, Chandler served with distinction as an officer at the First Battle of Bull Run, after which he was commissioned major of the 1st Mass. Volunteers (1861), and then lieutenant colonel. On June 30, 1862, the same day he received his commission as Colonel, Chandler was killed at the Battle of Malvern Hill, Richmond, Virginia, while leading his regiment during the charge of Hooker's Brigade.
The collection documents three generations of the Chandler-Cleaveland family formed by the 1837 marriage of Peleg Whitman Chandler and Martha Ann Bush Cleaveland, as well as the personal and professional lives of several extended members of the Chandler and Cleaveland families. The bulk of the collection is composed of personal, financial, and professional materials related to Peleg Whitman Chandler and his son Horace P. Chandler, as well as the diaries, travel journals, and banking records of Horace's two daughters, Ellen and Grace. Of particular note is the diary Peleg maintained while a student at Bowdoin College from 1831 to 1833, as well as the religious notebooks of Horace P. Chandler that document his association and that of his extended family's with the Swedenborgian faith.
The collection also includes extensive material related to two members of the Chandler family: Theophilus P. Chandler and Charles Peleg Chandler. Materials related to Theophilus P. Chandler largely concern efforts of his brother, Peleg W. Chandler, to exonerate him in a case where his subordinate at the Customs House in Boston, Julius F. Hartwell, illegally lent money from the subtreasury. The Charles Peleg Chandler material primarily relates to his Civil War service and largely comprises letters to Chandler's mother from 1861 and 1862 that are descriptive of his war-time experience, including a series of letters describing the Battle of Williamsburg (May 11, 1862-May17, 1862). There is also a small amount of Civil War related correspondence from Gen. Hooker, Gov. Andrew, C. E. Stowe, J. P. Fessenden, William W. Bullock, and others, and letters regarding the search for the whereabouts of Col. Chandler after the Battle of Malvern Hill, and his death.
A general correspondence series (1803-1937) contains letters from a broad range of family members across several generations, including: Andrew Campbell Chandler, Sr. and Jr.; Cora Evelyn (Bean) Chandler; Frederick Hewett Chandler; Parker Cleaveland; James Bowdoin Cleaveland; and Martha Ann Bush Cleaveland Chandler (1812-1881). There is also a series of family materials, including the business ledger of Parker Cleaveland's son, John Appleton Cleaveland; an account book of Esther Chandler, a cash book of William Chandler, and two diaries of Helen C. Weld, a friend of the Chandler-Cleaveland family. There are also several photograph albums, most containing unidentified family images, a small amount of realia, and digital surrogates of Chandler family materials that are privately owned.
The collection is arranged into ten series: Correspondence; Family Materials; Photographs; Realia; Peleg Whitman Chandler Materials; Horace Parker Chandler Materials; Grace Chandler Materials; Ellen Chandler Quinn Materials; Theophilus P. Chandler Materials; and Charles Peleg Chandler Materials.
This series contains correspondence to and from members of the Cleaveland and Chandler families. Correspondents include Parker Cleaveland, James Bowdoin Cleaveland, Martha Ann Bush Cleaveland Chandler, Peleg Whitman Chandler, Horace Parker Chandler, Mary Ware (a cousin), Eliza Deane (nephew), G.S. Hillard, Cyrus Hamlin and others from 1843 to 1890.

Theophilus P. Chandler, the brother of Peleg W. Chandler, was Assistant Treasurer of the United States, at the subtreasury in Boston, from 1863 to 1868. In 1867 a subordinate, Julius F. Hartwell, illegally loaned money from the subtreasury. This correspondence concerns efforts, largely on the part of Peleg W. Chandler, to pass a bill in congress that would relieve T.P. Chandler of any liability in the matter. The bulk of the correspondence is between Peleg W. Chandler and W.L. Putnam. In addition, there are letters to and from: Parker C. Chandler, A.S. Wheeler, John G. Abbot, and other involved parties. Material regarding the estates of J. Wiley Edmands and Horatio Woodman, who were apparently trying to claim a similar immunity is included. There are a series of affidavits concerning T.P. Chandler's petition, various printed copies of the petition, as well as of similar petitions and cases that had been brought to Congress, plus newspaper clippings related to the petition. Also included (located at the end of the series) are three unrelated letters to W.L. Putnam (1908, 1909), and one unrelated letter from Horace Chandler(1909).

A series of letters describe the Battle of Williamsburg (May 11, 1862-May 17, 1862), and other letters detail Chandler's experiences and impressions of the war. The series also includes correspondence from General Hooker, Governor Andrew, C.E. Stowe, J.P. Fessenden, William W. Bullock, and others. There are also letters regarding the search for the whereabouts of Col. Chandler after the Battle of Malvern Hill, and his death. Other material includes: three photographs of Col. Chandler; an 1862 newspaper clipping of the approach of the Union Armies on Richmond, including a map; and Charles P. Chandler's Civil War journal (May 22, 1861-June 14, 1861).
