He was coroner for Suffolk County before the county of Worcester was established. He removed to Worcester when the county was formed, and was moderator of the town meeting in 1733. He represented Woodstock in the general court and also Worcester in 1732-35-38-39-52-53.

He was one of the delegates of the American colonies who met at Albany, New York, delegates of the Five Nations of Indians, and were partly successful in making allies of them. An interesting character in Judge Chandler's family was a colored slave "Aunt Sylvia" who lived to be one hundred and seven years old.
