William A. Chanler
William Astor "Willie" Chanler, Sr. (June 11, 1867 – March 4, 1934) was a soldier, explorer, and politician who served as U.S. Representative from New York.〔 He was third son of John Winthrop Chanler (1826–1877) of the Dudley–Winthrop family and Margaret Astor Ward (1838–1875) of the Astor family. Through his father, he was a great-great-great-grandson of Peter Stuyvesant〔(Winthrop Family 1404-2002 ) Chanler's grandfather John White Chanler married Elizabeth Shirreff Winthrop, daughter of Benjamin Winthrop and Judith Stuyvesant (Peter's daughter)〕 and a great-great-great-great-grandson of Wait Winthrop and Joseph Dudley. Through his mother, he was a grandnephew of Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910), John Jacob Astor III (1822–1890), and William Backhouse Astor, Jr. (1829–1892).
By the age of 27, he had already spent three years exploring East Africa, after which he embarked on a brief political career. Chanler regarded it as an American obligation to be on the side of the people who fought for their independence, and during his life he participated in rebellions and independence struggles in Cuba, Libya, and Somalia and provided support for insurgents in Venezuela, Turkey, and China. He maintained an active lifestyle even after losing his right leg in 1915. Late in life he became a novelist and an outspoken anti-Semite.
==Early life==
Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Chanler had (nine brothers and sisters ), including the politician Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler and the artist Robert Winthrop Chanler. His younger sister (Margaret Livingston Chanler ) served as a nurse with the American Red Cross during the Spanish-American War.〔("Margaret Astor Chanler, Heroine of Porto Rico," ''Milwaukee Journal,'' Sept 8, 1898, p. 5. )〕 William's older brother (Winthrop Astor Chanler ) served in the Rough Riders in Cuba〔( Rice, Wallace, editor. ''Heroic Deeds in Our War with Spain: An Episodic History of the Fighting of 1898 on Sea and Shore,'' G.M. Hill, 1898. )〕 and was wounded at the Battle of Tayacoba.〔("FIGHTING FILIBUSTERS; Expedition to Cuba Has Several Brushes with Spaniards. GEN. NUNEZ'S BROTHER KILLED Winthrop Chanler of New York and Five Cubans Wounded. Guns of the Peoria Do Great Execution Among the Enemy; Two Shiploads of Supplies for the Insurgents Landed." ''New York Times,'' July 14 1898. )〕 His eldest brother John Armstrong "Archie" Chanler married novelist Amélie Louise Rives.〔(Donna M. Lucey, ''Archie and Amélie: Love and Madness in the Gilded Age.'' New York: Harmony Books, 2007. ISBN 1-4000-4852-4. )〕 His older sister (Elizabeth Astor Winthrop Chanler ) married author John Jay Chapman. Chanler and his siblings became orphans after the death of their mother in December 1875 and their father in October 1877, both to pneumonia. The children were raised at their parents' estate in Rokeby, New York.〔(Rokeby Mansion, Barrytown New York )〕 John Winthrop Chanler's will provided $20,000 a year for each child for life, enough to live comfortably by the standards of the time.〔Thomas, Lately.
