Springfield, so named by Wil-

CHAPIN liam Pynchon, its founder, on April 16, 1640, in honor of his native place in England, had been known by him and his small band of migrants who came from Roxbury in 1636, in the early spring, and settled with their families on the Connecticut river, calling the place by its Indian name, Ag- awam. The town was in the Colony of Massa- chusetts Bay and enclosed a territory of prob- ably twenty-five square miles, as it embraced what is now West Springfield, West- field, Southwick, Suffield, Enfield, Long Meadow, Somers, Wilbraham and Lud- low, the nucleus being Agawam, or as known after 1640, Springfield, and the Indians and white men lived in peace and carried on a mutually advantageous trade in corn, skins, and general produce for forty years. This peace was dispelled by the destruc- tion wrought in the peaceful valley in 1675, through the agency of Philip of Pokanoket, the youngest son of Massasoit, who created a union of Indian tribes for offensive operations against the whites, resulting in a "general ris- ing of the natives to sweep these hated intrud- ers from the ancient hunting grounds of the Indian race." Springfield, the most prosper- ous town in the colony, fell under the ban of savage destruction and the Indians pillaged the plain, burned upwards of thirty houses and well filled barns, and destroyed mills and growing crops just ready for harvest, for it was October and corn and apples were abund- ant crops. A mild winter followed, and the plain was saved from the threatened desertion by the remaining homeless families. It was amid such scenes that Deacon Samuel Chapin in New England lived with his family and helped in the work of rehabilitation.

(I) Samuel Chapin had come to the Colony of Massachusetts Bay previous to 1642, as his name is among the subscribers to the oath of allegiance made before the general court, June 2, 1641. He brought with him his wife whose surname was Cisily and children born either in England or Wales, whence he came, or in or about Boston. The Boston records give a Shem Chapin and Deborah, his wife, who had a daughter, Jane, born September 16, 1665. This may have been his eldest son who re- mained in Boston and died without male issue. The children who came to Springfield were : Japhet, (q. v.), born 1642 : Henry, married, De- cember 5, 1664, Bethea, daughter of Benjamin and Saralı Cooley, of Long Meadows; Cathia- rine, married (first) November 20, 1646, Na-

thaniel Bliss, who died in 1654, (second) June 30, 1655, Thomas Gilberts, who died in 1662, (third) December 8, 1664, Samuel Marshfield, who died in 1692, and the thrice widow died February 4, 1712, having given birth to ten children; David who married Lydia Crump, 29th 6 mo. 1654, and had seven children born at Springfield : Josiah died September 10, 1726; Sarah died August 5, 1684. Their youngest child, Hannah, was born in Springfield, De- cember 2, 1644. We do not know that the or- der of names is in accordance with the order of their birth. Japhet and Henry settled in the north part of Springfield, David resided a few years in the center of Springfield and then removed to Boston; Josiah settled in Mendon, Worcester county, and was an original grantee of that town. Springfield records give "Jo- siah Chapin married Mary, son Samuel born November 11, 1659." He may have gone from Springfield to Braintree and thence to Mendon. Sarah married Rowland Thom- as, and had thirteen children. Hannah married, September 27, 1666, Deacon John Hitchcock and had nine children. By deed dated March 9, 1666, John Pynchon conveyed to Samuel Chapin the greater part of the land lying in the valley between Chicopee river and Willimasett brook, and by decd dated April 16, 1673, Samuel Chapin conveyed this same. premises to his son, Japhet Chapin. Japhet also owned one-half of his father's premises, known as the home lot next south of the min- istry lot in the center of the village of Spring- field, where Deacon Samuel died November II, 1675, and in 1667 Japhet sold his half of the property to Deacon John Hitchcock, husband of Hannah. The widow. Cisily Chapin, died February 8, 1683.

(II) Japhet, son of Deacon Samuel and Cisily Chapin, was born in 1642. He probably for a time resided in Milford in the Connecti- cut colony as, in a deed made by Worshipful Captain John Pynchon of Springfield, he con- veyed to Japhet Chapin, of Milford, Connecti- cut Colony, a small strip of land near Connecti- cut river in Springfield, bound east by Deacon Chapin's land : deed dated November 16, 1669. HIc, however, built a house at the upper end of Chicopee street, northwesterly of where the dwelling house of Henry Sherman was stand- ing in 1862, and this house was on the land dleeded to him by his father, April 16, 1673. He was present at the fight with the Indians at Turner's Falls, May 18, 1673, as appears in a memorandum made in his own handwriting on the outside leaf of an old account book belong-

ing to him, which reads : "I went out as volun- teer against Indians in 17 May, 1676 and we engaged in battle 19 May in the morning be- fore sunrise, and made great spoil upon the en- emy and came off the same day with the loss of thirty-seven men and the captain Turner, and came home the twentieth of May." (The orig- inal orthography is not used in this copy.) He married (first) July 22, 1664, Abilenah Cooley, and she died November 17, 1710. She was the mother of all his children. He married (sec- ond) May 31, 1711, Dorothy Root, of Enfield, Connecticut, who probably after his death mar- ried Obediah Miller, of Enfield, Connecticut, in 1720-21. Upon his death, February 20, 1712, his remains were buried alongside the grave of his first wife, the mother of his chil- dren. Their children in the order of their birth are: I. Samuel, born July 4, 1665, mar- ried, December 24, 1690, Hannah Sheldon ; had ten children ; died in Springfield, October 19, 1729. 2. Sarah, March 16, 1668, married March 24, 1690, Nathaniel Munn. 3. Thomas (q. v.), May 10, 1671. 4. John, May 14, 1674, married Sarah Bridgman, the marriage being published January 24, 1702; had eight chil- dren ; died June 1, 1759. 5. Ebenezer, men- tioned at length with descendants in this arti- cle. 6. Hannah, June 21, 1679, died July 7, 1679. 7. Hannah, July 18, 1680 (q. v.). 8. David, November 16, 1682, married, Novem- ber 21, 1705, Sarah, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Stebbins, had twelve children; married (second) Mindwell Holton, of Northampton. His first wife, the mother of all his children, died February 6, 1726, his second wife October 20, 1758, and he died July 8, 1772, aged ninety years. He was deacon of the church of Chico- pee Parish. 9. Jonathan, February 20, 1685, died March 1, 1686. 10. Jonathan, September 23, 1688, married, April 20, 1710, Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan and Lydia Burt, of Long Meadow; they had eleven children; he died February 23, 1760-61, and his widow January 31, 1769, aged eighty years. Hannah, seventh child of Japhet and Abelinah (Cooley) Chap- in, married, December 3, 1703, John Sheldon, of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and when the town was attacked by Indians about three months after her marriage, she was taken cap- tive with many others and marched to Canada. Her husband probably followed the retreating party, for after over a year he obtained her release and brought her home from Canada. This version of the story is at least generally credited, and the presentment of her mother at

least came true when she advised her in mak- ing a dress before her marriage that she must make it so it would do to wear into captivity, which shows the anxiety felt in the frontier at that time.

(III) Thomas, second son and third child of Japhet and Abilenah (Cooley) Chapin, was born May 10, 1671, probably in Milford, Con- necticut. He married Sarah Wright, who was the mother of his eleven children. He died August 27, 1755, and his widow July 26, 1770, aged ninety-eight years. Their children, named in the order of their birth are: I. Thomas, born January 2, 1694, married, March 19, 1719-20, Jerusha Jones, of Sunderland ; had four children ; died in Belchertown in 1781. 2. Japhet, March 16, 1697, married Thankful Dickerson, of Hatfield; published April 22, 1726; she was the mother of his ten children : married (second) October 28, 1778, Lydia Belding, widow of Rev. Benjamin Doolittle, of Northfield, Massachusetts. His first wife died March 17, 1773, and when his second wife was eighty years old, he was eighty-two, and they made the journey on horseback from their residence in Chicopee street, Springfield. to Northfield, a distance of more than forty miles, in one day, each on a separate horse, and are said to have each sat as upright and enjoyed the ride as well as if they were still young. 3. Abel, January 28, 1700, married. January 9, 1720, Hannah, daughter of Luther and Elizabeth Hitchcock; they lived in that part of Springfield known as Willimansett; he afterward kept a tavern on the east side of Chicopee street for many years; they had six children ; he died May 3, 1772, and his widow April 12, 1778, aged seventy-six years. 4.

(IV) Nathaniel, fifth son and sixth child of Thomas and Sarah (Wright) Chapin, was born August 9, 17II. He married Sarah Ab- bee, daughter of Thomas Abbe, of Enfield, where they lived and where their three chil- dren were born. Captain Nathaniel Chapin died at Cape Breton, and as only the service in the French war would have brought him to that place it is reasonable that he was with the ex- pedition against Louisburg, which place sur- rendered to the British and Colonial troops, June 16, 1745, and as many of the troops in the expedition were from Connecticut it is probable that he was in the service and died there about that time, aged thirty-four years. His widow married Captain Hezekiah Par- sons, of Enfield, Connecticut. The children of Nathaniel and Sarah (Abbee) Chapin were : I. Nathaniel (q. v.), born December 31, 1738. 2.
