A man of the name of Chichester, was in Hartford in 1649.
CHIDESTER, ANDREW, (probably Chichester,) had a son Samuel, born in Connecticut, Oct. 18, 1720. Peter Blatchford tes- tified in court, that in the latter end of the last year, (1648,) he put on board of CHICHESTER'S vessel, for Mr. Blackleach, by order of Jarvis Mudge, six bushels of wheat and three bushels of peas.
JAMES CHICHESTER, in the list of those of Taunton, able to bear arms in 1643. (His. Reg.)

CHILD. The north part of the town of Woodstock, was settled some few years after the south part of the town, and mostly, if not all, entirely by persons from Roxbury, Mass., and from under the preaching of Rev. John Elliot. The precise time North Woodstock was settled, I am not able to state, as the original proprietor's book or record, has been lost. The town was settled and claimed by" Massachusetts, and by them incorporated in March, 1690; and in Felt's Statistics, p. 23, we find that "Judge Sewall" wrote in his MS. diary, March 18, 1690, that he gave New Roxbury the name of Woodstock. The town was claimed by Connecticut as within her bounds, and came under the government of this state, May, 1749. The May and Child families have been prominent, active and re- spectable, from the carly settlement of the place. The tradition of the family is, (which is all I have since the loss of the record book,) that the first of the Child family came from England to Roxbury, or Watertown, Mass., at an early period ; that he had seven or eight sons, all of whom settled at North Woodstock. I have not even the names of the seven or eight sons, by the name of Child, who first

came to North Woodstock, and therefore am unable to give any of the first genealogy of the family .*
* Anecdote of the seven or eight brothers by the name of Child. ( Tradition.)
The seven brothers in the north half of Woodstock, owned but one cow-each of the seven used her a week in their turn-except on Thanksgiving days, when the elder brother was to keep her, until a sufficient quantity of milk should be gathered, so that the seven brothers, with their families, could all partake of a Thanksgiving supper of hasty pudding and milk, at the house of the oldest brother. On one occasion of this kind, the families had all assembled, and the milk served in the long wooden bowls, and with the pudding and milk placed upon a large fall-leaf table, each family provided with their own small wooden bowles and wooden spoons, each pre- pared for his delicious repast. With only the blessing wanted, and while the elder brother, with all the solemnity of a Puritan father, was imploring a blessing, the large watch-dog, in passing under the table, hit the leg which held up the leaf, and down fell the table, milk and pudding. The younger brother, as he saw the table falling, cried out, Stop, brother, stop, stop; the pudding is gone, and the milk is gone, and of what use is a blessing now-but kill the dog.
ANECDOTE .- As most of the first settlers of the colony who left Roxbury, Mass., to settle in the town of New Roxbury, (Woodstock,) were a part of the congregation and church of Rev. John Eliot, who preached at Roxbury, and the new settlers from Roxbury being the constant subjects of prayer by the Roxbury Church, so that the Rev. Mr. Eliot, every Sabbath, in his pub- lic prayers in the church, uniformly prayed for the colony of New Roxbury, But on one occa- sion, when the congregation had assembled on the Sabbath for worship, the pious Eliot neglected to mention in his prayer, the colony of New Roxbury, and closed and took his seat. This neg- lect of the minister was noticed by the goodly fathers and mothers of the church with great pain, and they began to fear their children at New Roxbury would be devoured by the wild beasts, or destroyed by the Indians, and the iniquities of the fathers visit their children, because they had been omitted by the godly Eliot. While the good mothers were thus sitting, depressed in spirits at so great a neglect, it occurred to the minister that he had not made mention of the New Rox- bury colony in his prayer, and immediately arose in his pulpit, and exclaimed, Alas ! alas ! I for- got to pray for our sons and daughters at New Roxbury, and therefore let us again pray. He made a most fervent prayer, especially for the colony, much to the comfort and relief of the congregation, friends and relatives of the colony.
NOTE. April 11, 1694, a public meeting of the proprietors of Woodstock assembled and vo- ted a division of land be laid out, " from the East line on the East side of ye Pond," to four miles " Westward, &c."-and chose a committee of three, with Jolin Butcher, the surveyor, to do the whole work, viz., Win. Bartholomew, Benjamin Sabin and Benjamin Grigs, committee.

Mr. Farmer names EPHRAIM CHILD, of Watertown, made free in 1631; that he came to New England in 1630 ; that he was elect- ed representative in 1635, 1646, 1649, 1650, and from 1652 to 1662, except '53 and '58 ; that he was a deacon of the church, and died Feb. 13, 1663, aged 70. This Ephraim was probably the father of the brothers of the name, who settled at North Woodstock. He also names Dr. Robert Child, who received his degree as Doctor of Med- icine from Padua, came twice to New England, and disturbed the government. (Winthrop's Hist. N. E., Index.) Willard, in his History of Lancaster, says, Robert Child was one of the petitioners for a grant of Lancaster in 1644. We find " Elizabeth Child," of Watertown, witnessing the will of Mary Benjamin, of Watertown, in 1646. (His. Gen. Reg., p. 178, No. 10, 1849.) Joseph Child, freeman, in Mass., 1654 ; also took the oath of fidelity, 1652. Also, Richard Child, (Middlesex C. C. Rec., and His. Gen. Reg.) Tho's Child, a first settler of Rochester, Mass., married Bethia Westcot, Aug. 29, 1727. Thomas Childs embarked in the Speedwell, of Lon- don, Jo. Chappell, master, May 28, 1635, for Virginia. Deacon Richard Child married Elizabeth Crocker, who died Jan. 15, 1706 ; resided and is entered in the list of first settlers at Barnstable, after 1660. His children are, Samuel, b. Nov. 6, 1679 ; also, sons Tho's, Timothy, Ebenezer, James, Joseph, and five daughters. Richard Childs, of Marshfield, married Mary Truant, Jan. 24, 1664.

March 11, 1723. (See His. Reg.) Jeremiah Child, taken prison- er on the expedition against Quebec, in 1775. Mr. John Child, in Mass., aged 25 years, in 1653. Ephraim Child had eight pieces of land early recorded at Watertown. ( Watertown Rec.)
It is probable the brothers by the name of Child, who settled at Woodstock, were from Watertown, Mass., instead of Roxbury, as the tradition is descended from Ephraim and not Benjamin. The tradition of the family is in one line as follows : Child, Benjamin or Ephraim, who came in 1630, the father of Ephraim, Jun., who was the father of Ephraim, the father of Asa, who was father of Rensa- lear, who was the father of. Asa, Esq., of Hon. Peleg C., and Hon. Linus. Child. Also a WILLIAM CHILD, admitted a freeman in Massachusetts in 1634. EPHRAIM CHILD, JUN., was one of the settlers at Woodstock, while Ephraim, Sen., remained and died at Watertown. Few families have been more successful in life, or pro- duced more influential men in the different callings which they have pursued for several generations, than this family. In the Lyon, May and Child families in Woodstock, most of the land owned by the first settler of the family, has not changed the title deeds out of the name of the family. Col. Caleb Child now resides on the same spot where the oldest of the first brothers lived, and the same is the case with several others of the Child family.
Capt. Wm. Lyon is similarly situated, and his farm has not been changed in title since it was purchased of the Indians. Before Woodstock was amicably annexed to Connecticut, in one or more instances when the town elected their representative to the General Assembly, the delegate attended the Gen. Court in Connecticut, in- stead of attending at Boston.
Coats of Arms. Child, (Bigelly House, co. Pembroke; descend- ed, it is presumed, from a younger son of the noble house of Castle- maine, and now represented by James Mark Child, of Bigelly House, Esq.,) has 1; Child, (Newfield Hall, co. Stafford, as borne by Smith Child, of that place, Esq., &c.,) 1; Child, (as borne by Coles Child, of Lambeth and Streetham, co. Surry, Esq.,) 1 ; and six oth- ers of a high order ; Childe, 1.
CHILLY, JOHN, 1663.
CHILSON, DANIEL and SYBIL, of Wethersfield, had a son Daniel, born at Wethersfield, Feb. 9, 1746. John and John Jun., of Middlefield, in 1744.
CHIPMAN, JOHN, ancestor of all of that surname in the United States and adjoining British provinces, (as far as known,) was born in or near Dorchester, in Dorchestershire, England, A. D. 1614-15.

GENEALOGY OF THE PURITANS.
The only son of Thomas Chipman, of whose estate part was and is in Marshwood Vale. He was a near kinsman of " Christopher Derby, Gent.," of " the Derby's of Stirthill and Askerville." Said John Chipman sailed from England in May, 1631, but probably in the Friendship, which arrived at Boston, July 14, 1638. He resided a while at Yarmouth, Mass., and afterward at Barnstable, at Great Marshes, now West Barnstable. In 1663, '4 and '5, he was deputy to the General Court of his colony, (Plymouth.) In 1666, he was " celectman," at which time the selectmen in that colony had func- tions since pertaining to justices of the peace. In 1669, he was a " Deputy present" and " surveyor of highways" for his town. With one other member of the church, he was, April 14, 1670, " chosen and ordained to be ruling elder, and was solemnly invested with office." The following shows how he was estimated : " Whereas some have desired and others think it meet to permit some persons to frequent the Quaker meetings to endeavor to reduce them from the error of their wayes, the Court considering the premises, doe permit John Smith, of Barnstable, Isaacke Robinson, John Chipman and John Cooke, of Plymouth, or any two of them, to attend the said meetings for the ends aforesaid, att any time betwixt this Court and the next October Court." Act passed June, 1659. " The court have granted unto Mr. John Howland one hundred acres of land, in that land which Captain Willett made purchase of att Teliquott. The court also granted John Chipman and Jonathan Sparrow each fifty acres of land at the place where Mr. Howland " is to be accom- odated," " next above mensioned," and meadow answerable in pro- portion for their upland, (June 5, 1666 ; ) also see act, (July, 1673 ;) also 100 acres between Taunton and Telicott, &c., in 1673. (Laws and Rec. of Plymouth Col., 1673.) There is no evidence Chipman received any benefit from the grants, but in the mean time he pro- cured a homestead in Barnstable, deed dated Dec. 10, 1672, which deed still exists on parchment, drawn by Gov. Hinckley, then an as- sistant. Near his house, for more than a century after, stood the court and custom-houses. William Chipman, of the sixth genera- tion, owns and occupies the same land, and it has never been transfer- red from the family and name of Chipman.
CHIPMAN, JOHN, married Hope, daughter of Hon. John How- land and his wife Elizabeth, a granddaughter of Gov. Carver. Thus all the Chipmans, in common with the Howlands, share the privilege of being the only known descendants of the Pilgrims' now honored chief. The ruling elder, John Chipman, died at Barnstable in

He was at Salisbury at the organization of the county in 1751. He died at Salisbury about 1751, as he was appointed a judge in 1751, and died before he held a court. His second son, Samuel, was the father of the late Chief Justice Nathaniel Chipman, LL. D., and of the late Hon. Daniel Chipman, of Vt., and their brothers scarcely less distinguished.
II. Son of the last Samuel, was Deacon Samuel, b. Aug. 6, 1689, and kept the " Chipman tavern," which was noted until the last twenty-five years, in Cape Cod celebrity. His son, Samuel Chip- man, b.

His son, Capt. Samuel Chipman, of Ipswich and Salem, Mass., was the great-grandfather of Rev. R. Manning Chipman, (and most of it is abstracted by him from his ex- tended account of the family.) Rev. John Chipman died pastor at Beverly, March 23, 1775. The widow of his son Joseph, b. 1738, resided with Joseph's children, (neither of which children are forty years old,) in the old parsonage house.

scendants, which is nearly finished, in the many generations to the 6th, and many of the 7th, 8th and 9th, with the extended memoirs, &c., with topographical illustrations of English homes of the Chip- man race, would have been printed by the family, had the means to do so been provided by the family.
Rev. R. M. Chipman says, that some twenty-five Chipmans are named and described from A. D., 1070, to the present time ; the first one of whom was of those who made the Doomsday Survey Book. The name, Chipman, as by the armorial bearings, is Chippenham ; De Chippenham it originally bore. Chippenham, Chapman's town, (or home,) designates three places in England, one of which was King Alfred's royal abode.
Thomas, who went from Groton to Salisbury, represented the town of Salisbury in the Legislature in 1757.
