Joseph CHAFFE [1] |
- Joseph Chaffe was Constable and town Sealer of weights and measures in Barrington in 1729.
January 21, 1729/30, "Joseph Chaffe Junr. of Barrington, boatman," bought of Benjamin Marcy of Woodstock, husbandman, a "Mansion house" and seventy-five acres of land in Woodstock, bounded by the land of Isaiah Tiffany and John Chaffe, for L300.
February 23, 1729/30, "Joseph Chaffee Junr. of Barrington in the County of Bristol in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England Boatman, for and in consideration of the sum of two hundred pounds to me paid by my Honoured Father, John Chaffee of Woodstock, in the County of Suffolk and Province aforesaid, yeoman, being part of my Portion or Patrimony of my said Father's Estate do by these presents Remit, Release and forever Quit Claim . . . unto my Father John Chaffee . . . all my right title interest Claim & Demand unto all of Housing & Lands of my said Father being & Lying in Woodstock Aforesaid, belonging . . . to me as a son or heir." This document was witnessed by his uncle Joseph Chaffe and Samuel Luther. (Woodstock Land Records.) In those days a man was called "Junior" if there was another man in his family of the same Christian name, whether he was his father or not. Between the date of the above release and July 5, 1730, Joseph and his family removed to Woodstock, Mass. (now Conn.) as on the latter date his wife was admitted to the First Congregational Church of Woodstock by a letter of dismission and recommendation from the Church of Christ in Barrington. He settled in what is now West Woodstock, and which was set off from Woodstock as the Second Precinct of Woodstock, or New Roxbury......
Joseph Chaffe died of smallpox, and one of the items in the account of the administrators against the estate is 5s. "for brimstone & rum to cleanse the infection out of the house." He lies buried in the cemetery in Hampden, Mass. (formerly South Wilbraham)...
