Nathaniel had a son George & father John.

Chandler, Ben, home 10 Fruit Street
Chandler, George, home- 18 Pearl Street
_______________________________________________________
A “Fuller“ is “ A Cloth Worker who shrinks, beats & presses cloth”
A “Fuller” was a person who worked @ the process of washing wool to remove animal grease & oil?
A “Fuller” works only in a woolen mill. ?
Dictionary ....”fuller”..one who fulls cloth..........full ...to thicken
________________________________________________
John & Nathaniel Chandler are living @ the same home in Worcester Mass. in 1860
12 Millbury , John is a Machinist, Nathaniel is a Machinist......There is also a George living @ 18 Pearl in Worcester.
___________________________________________________________________________
1860 Worcester House Directory, Microfiche # 6044674.listed the following for Millbury Street:

So this residence must have been a single home;

___________________________________________________________________________

From the above Worcester Directory & Almanac data, a Chandlee Family did exist in Worcester.
A Nathaniel Chandlee owned a home where two boarders were George & John Chandlee. Nathaniel was associated with the Woolen Industry for he is listed as a "Fuller." A “Fuller“ is “ A Cloth Worker who shrinks, beats & presses cloth” George was a Loom Fixer as was Simon Dodd & James Dodd. The surname gets misspelled...from Chandler to Chanley to Chandley to Chandlee, it is difficult to follow a person with any certainty. Is this Worcester Nathaniel, Sarah Dodd's brother? If I could find a Census that would help with ages..................... and I did for 1855 !

Nathaniel is found in 1852, 1855, 1856, 1858, 1859, 1860, 1861, 1862, 1863 & 1864:
........but not in 1853, 1854, 1865, 1866 & 1867.
George is found in ....1855, 1861, 1862, 1866 & 1867 : not in 1860, 1863, 1864 & 1865.
...................................................................the 1863, 1864 & 1865 are ( The War years)
John is found only in 1855, 1860, 1861, 1862, : not in 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866 & 1867.
.......does John being listed in 1860 & not George make him the oldest son of Nathaniel ?...yes
