Those old books are tricky because the info can be garbled. There were lots of Samuel Chandlers, so you will have to do a lot of checking to make sure that you are following the right one. I read that Samuel Chandler was the son of Isaac Chandler; however, I don't know if it was the same Samuel.
As for the Browns, they may originally have come from Massachusetts. Western New York was settled by many New Englanders, many from Connecticut and western Massachusetts. After the Revolution, many soldiers were paid in land bounties in western New York.
I think that the Maine Browns came from Massachusetts. Many Loyalists had their property seized after the Revolution and moved to Canada. You may be able to find them on a list.
Happy hunting!
