World Tree Entries for Benjamin Chafee 1762-1830

kbrownst — 3 Jul 2007 7:40:23 GMT

Please note there are many errors here. Many of the children of Benjamin are actually children of Thomas his father. World tree lists: Deliverance, Josua, Louise, Nathan, Hannah, Zephaniah, Caleb, Thomas, Ezra, Thirza, Jonathan, Huldah, Benjamin, Joshua, Williard, Elias, Seth, and Almon. The Chaffee Genealogy only list the following as children of Benjamin: Ezra, Thirza, Huldah, Benjamin, Joshua, Willard, Elias, Seth and Almon. A quick look at the birth dates can confirm some of the errors. IE Benjamin B.1762 Shown as having a child (Deliverance) b. 1764. In order to get the world tree corrected everyone who submitted data needs to correct their tree and I will be contacting them indivdually. Just thought the group would like a heads up :)

Help Needed with Abigail Chaffee

kbrownst — 14 Jun 2007 3:42:00 GMT

Hello all.. I have Simeon Chaffee b. 1772 in my tree. I show him married 3 times (Even tho the Chaffee Book only shows twice.) From the 1850 Census for Rutland Vermont they show Simeon married to Susannah. (she's shown as only 10 yrs younger) with the following children: Nathaniel(a doctor) b. 1822, Fannie b. 1825 and Abigail b. 1829 THEN I believe they show Abigails 2 children Charles H and Mary J. Since she (Abigail) is still listed as a Chaffee on the census whos's children are those listed. Are they hers or Simeon's? If hers who is the father? The Chaffee Genealogy shows him having a daughter named Susanna b. 1825 so Im confused. Is Susanna the daughter of Fanny or the daughter of Susannah? Any Ideas? Thanks everyone for keeping me on track.

Chaffee-Chaffer

kbrownst — 5 Jun 2007 2:23:52 GMT

I know we've had to be open to alternate spellings of the family name and this is just a heads-up as it were that there are tons of Chaffee's in the Michigan Census (various years) listed as Chaffer's although a close inspection of the writing it could go either way but most likely is Chaffee. Please try this alternate spelling in other states as well, you never know who you might find.

CHAFFEE, POLLY & ALPHA HERKIMER COUNTY NEW YORK

RogueSailor — 2 Apr 2007 2:29:54 GMT

I’m researching the JUSTIN/JUSTINE family.
My branch originated in New England prior to the Revolutionary War, most likely Rhode Island and Connecticut. In 1814 John JUSTIN(E) married Polly CHAFFEE in Herkimer County New York, possibly in the Newport/Fairfield area. They had one son, Alonzo, born 07 Aug 1815 in Herkimer County. John disappears (this is my brick wall) by 1817-1819. Polly marries William H. Bowman and raises her family in Herkimer/Montgomery Counties.
An Abbey JUSTINE is listed as the first School Teacher of Newport, Herkimer County in 1795 and is probably related to John JUSTIN(E).
Polly CHAFFEE’s brother, Alpha CHAFFEE, lives in Herkimer County per the 1820 Federal Census. Alpha CHAFFEE Jr. and Polly migrated to Herkimer prior to 1820 from Thurman, Washington (now Warren) County, New York. Their father was Alpha CHAFFEE Sr.. The CHAFFEE line is well documented in “The CHAFFEE GENEALOGY of 1909”.
By the mid 1830’s, the extended JUSTIN/CHAFFEE/BOWMAN clan migrates to Gorham New York and then to St. Clair County Michigan in the early 1840’s.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Eunice Chaffee DOB

tcbjammon — 13 Jan 2007 6:56:43 GMT

Hi Matt, I think what cousin Kathleen has said about Eunice's dob is probably more correct, since Oliver Chapman born abt 1766, she was probably a few years younger than he, so she might have been born about 1770, but that is a guess too. bye.

Sincerely,
Terry W. Chaffee

Eunice Chaffee DOB

tcbjammon — 12 Jan 2007 8:02:35 GMT

Hi Matt, was reading what cousin Kathy had stated about Jason Chapman being born abt 1797 and that she estimated Eunice to be born abt 1770. That sounds, to me, a little more correct, because Oliver born abt 1766 so more likely that Eunice a few years younger than he. Just a guess though.

Sincerely,

Terry W. Chaffee

Calvin Chaffee son of Thomas & Hannah Reed Chaffee

I am desperately looking for any information on Calvin Chaffee son of Thomas and Hannah Reed Chaffee. Info says he died abt 1811 in Scipio, Cayuga, NY. Can't find his resting place. In 1810 their we're 2 sons and 1 daughter living in the household. Who was his wife? Who were the other children? I believe my great great grandfather (John Calvin) was a son of this Calvin Chaffee, but have no way to prove it. Are there any other researchers out there that feel they belong to this family. I cannot find any marriage records or birth records. Does any one have any ideas on what I can do to further prove my suspicions? Any help is appreciated. Thank You Bea Daggett

Ivan Gene's Wife

chadchaffee1 — 23 Feb 2006 1:42:09 GMT

Good Afternoon Family,

I have hit a small snag.

According to the documentation that I have pretty much seen as being accurate by most of the Chaffe's, Ivan Gene's wife has been Garnett Hyatt.

While trying to find Garnett's parents, I ran across some information from someone that has been doing research on the Hyatt line. He pointed me to an entry in the Richardson County Nebraska 1920 Census. This shows a Garnett Hiatt living with her mother and father (John A. and Elizabeth). The age seems to be a little off (though unsure since there is no confirmed birth record for Garnett), but it is in the same county as the 1930 Census where she shows up as being the wife of Ivan Chaffee. The same person that pointed me to the 1920 Census, found Garnett again on the 1910 Census in a different county (again with John A. and Elizabeth) only this time they show up as Hudd (he is pretty certain that this is a mistake on the Census).

The question comes down to....do we give enough leway (sp?) for the census to make this a match? It would be very nice if this was a match because the person that directed me to this has documentation on John A Hiatt back quite a ways, and since this is only 3 Generations back from me...it would fill a large gap in my tree.

Thoughts and opinions on this match? If you had found this information in your research, would you chalk it up to a mistake on the census, or consider it two different people?

The good news is that all three of Garnett's children are living (including my grandfather), so I am in the middle of asking them about their mother to maybe shed some light on the situation, but until I receive a response, I though I would ask my broader family.

Thanks in advance.

Chaffee Origins

Mark Munson — 17 Jan 2000 10:02:29 GMT

I am trying to find information about Thomas Chaffee who immigrated from England to the colonies in 1635. I have conflicting info, one of which says he was from Somerset, Devon, Dorset Counties. (That is an enormous area) The other indicates he comes from Stepney, Middlesex, (Stepney is in East London, but Middlesex is west.. go figure!?)

Any help regarding Thomas' actual origines would be most appreciated. I want to go back to England to go to the parish records for that time, but I have to determine the correct parish first.. if I can.

Harland Chaffee son of ?

kbrownst — 31 Oct 2005 3:03:03 GMT

Hi all I'm attempting to clean up my database and am hoping one of you can help me with my current issue.

I have Harland 1877-1965 as the son of Almon or Leonard Almon Chaffee 1809-1859. And he is the son of Benjamin 1762-1830. Well obviously Harland was born to late to be the son of someone who died 20 yrs before he was born. :( I'm thinking that Almon and Leonard A. are two different people and one was born later. But then I run into the issue of how old Benjamin would be to have a son born later (all his children are born btwn 1764 and 1809) . Maybe someone has better info moving the line from Benjamin through Harland. Any help greatly appreciated. Working forward I have Thomas, Nathaniel, Jonathan, Jonathan, Thomas and then Benjamin etc... Thanks in advance.

Some brothers stayed in England and a couple came to US and two went to Newfoundland one of those was Joseph Chaffee (Chaffey) who then went on alone to Prince Edward Island, Canada.
He married one Elizabeth Mitchell in PEI in 1828 and died there in 1873. He is the only Chaffee in the entire book who ended up in Prince Edward Island, Canada.[other than his own descendents, of course]

If I can learn the pages the paragraphs that contain information about Joseph Chaffee who is my 2Xgr Grandfather, I have a source that will make copies of the pages for me.

Thank you in advance if you can help.

Need scan from Chaffee Genealogy

Mollard97 — 21 Feb 2004 5:57:02 GMT

Hi Chaffee couins,

I'm looking for someone who has an original copy of the 1909 Chaffee Genealogy. I'm wondering if anyone with a copy and a scanner can scan me a hi-res picture of the page following p. 484, portrait of Dr. Ralph Tyler Chaffee.

My copy of the book is a Higginson reproduction and the pictures are terrible quality.

Thanks --

Bayard Taylor CHAFFEE, Ohio 19th century

cherielynn251 — 18 May 2005 7:30:19 GMT

Bayard Taylor Chaffee was born 1858 in Ohio. I see a census record for 1860 Vernon, Trumbull County spelled Chaffie in index and the father is ???Jas O Chaffee born about 1823 New York and mother Melinda H born about 1835 Ohio (?Harriett Malinda Merry?). An 1850 census record Gustavus, Trumbull County shows James Orson Chaffee and census says parents Daniel and Julianna. Is there anyone who can tell me if Bayard Taylor Chaffee is the son of James Orson Chaffee, or who his parents are, and are James Orson's parents actually David Kingsley Chaffee and Julianna Burlingame? Does anyone know this Bayard? About 1882 Bayard married Mary L Farlin and their children are Ethel K. b Penn about 1884, Carl B b Ohio 1885, Edgar O? b Kansas 1888, Bion L b Penn 1892, Frances b Penn 1895, Leila b Penn 1896. In 1900 census they are in Pennsylvania. Bayard passed away May 28, 1904 and by 1910 Mary and the children are back in Ward 3, Akron, Summit County.

old Chaffee graveyard

BBarber69 — 4 Aug 2001 5:02:55 GMT

Hello, I am not a Chaffee and have no family that is but I grew up on Lake Chaffee, Ashford, CT. Behind the volunteer firehouse on the lake there is an old Cemetery and most of the stones were from Chaffees. Unfortunately vandals have deposed of most of the stones which ran from the late 1600's to early 1700's. The cemetery is small - no bigger than most peoples backyards. If anyone would like the address to the Town of Ashford whom may have some records on this please feel free to email me.
