  • Name Ezra CHAFFE  [1
    • Ezra was baptized in the First Congregational Church of Woodstock, June 6, 1742. He had light complexion, blue or gray eyes, and was short and stout. He was a farmer and lived for many years in Woodstock. He served in the Revolution in Lieutenant Jonathan Morris's company of that place. He probably rose to the rank of Captain, as he was always called by that title. February 24, 1781, he bought of Azel Hooker of Athens, for L60, "hard money," one hundred acres of land in the northern part of that town. To this place he moved between 1782 and 1784. From 1792 to 1798 he was one of the Listers of Athens and in 1796 Selectman. He and his wife were members of the Methodist church in that town and were buried there. [1]
