He was the fifth son of John Winthrop Chanler (1826–1877) of the Dudley–Winthrop family and Margaret Astor Ward (1838–1875) of the Astor family.[2] Through his father, who served as a U.S. Representative from New York, he was a great-great-grandson of Peter Stuyvesant[3] and a great-great-great-great-grandson of Wait Winthrop and Joseph Dudley. Through his mother, he was a grandnephew of Julia Ward (1819–1910), John Jacob Astor III (1822–1890), and William Backhouse Astor Jr. (1829–1892), and a great-great-grandson of John Jacob Astor.[4]

Roosevelt had at first thought of running for this seat in the assembly, but Chanler refused to give it up. Thus, Roosevelt ran in November 1910 for the senate instead.[21]
Personal life
On September 24, 1890, Chanler married Alice Chamberlain (1868–1955),[22] at St George's, Hanover Square, in London.[23] Alice was a daughter of the late W. L. Chamberlain.[24] Before their divorce in 1920, they had three children together:
- Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler Jr. (1891–1963), who married Leslie Alice Murray (1898–1952) in 1920.[25] She died in 1952 and he later married Mary Kroehle.[26] Lewis and Leslie had four children: Susan Patricia Chanler Herrick (1921-1996); Bronson Winthrop Chanler (1922-2009); Clare Chanler Forster (1927-1992), who married Bayard Stuyvesant Forster (1924-2001), a distant relative; and Rosanna Chanler Harris (1930-).
- Alida Chanler (1894–1983), who married William Christian Bohn (1895–1977) in 1920.[27]
- William Chamberlain Chanler (1895–1981), who married Frances Randall Williams[28]
On May 23, 1921, the 52 year old Chanler married Julia Lynch Olin (1882–1961),[29] also a recent divorcee with two daughters of her own, in Paris.[4] She was previously married to J. Philip Benkard and was the second daughter of Stephen H. Olin. Her mother died in 1882 and her father remarried Emmeline Harriman, the daughter of Oliver Harriman and the sister-in-law of William Kissam Vanderbilt.[4] In 1922, the family bought a new home at 132 East 65th Street, in New York City.[30][31] This house was later christened Caravan House.[32][33]
Chanler died on February 28, 1942, at his home in New York City at age 72.

He was the grandfather of Susan Chanler (1921–1996),[35] who married Clifford E. Herrick Jr. (1916–1978),[36] Bronson Winthrop Chanler (1922–2009),[37] who married Evelyn Williams Rogers (b. 1931),[37] Clare Chanler (1927–1992), who married Bayard Stuyvesant Forster (1924–2001),[38] and Rosanna Chanler (b. 1930), who married Montgomery Harris (1924–2012).[39][40]
