Benjamin CHAFFE

1732 - 1811  (78 years)

• Name	Benjamin CHAFFE  [1]
  	Benjamin Chafee is said to have lived on the north part of Rocky or Cranberry Bog Hill, between West Woodstock and South Woodstock, later in Ashford and still later in Marcellus, NY., finally returning Ashford. He also lived in Wales, Mass., as is evidenced by a deed dated June 25, 1764, in which "Benjamin Chaffee husbandman of Woodstock late of Wales," sold to Benjamin Skinner of Wilbraham, seventy-five acres of land in Wales together with the buildings thereon for L100. This was land which Benjamin had bought of his father, February 4, 1793, Benjamin "Chaffe" of Woodstock bought of Josiah Eaton of Ashford for L28, 15s., twenty-three acres of land there, and April 22d of the same year he and his wife, still of Woodstock, sold to Benjamin Skinner of that place a house and barn there. Apparently this was about the time of their removal to Ashford. Benjamin Chaffee had palsy in one arm, which for the last twenty years of his life rendered it useless. [1]
