Thomas Chafe (as the family name was originally written), the first American ances- tor of the Chaffees of New England, was born in Eng- land, in one of the counties of Som- erset, Dorset or Devon. He came to Plymouth Col- ony about the time of the settlement of the town of Chaffee coat-of-arms. Hingham, Septem- ber 2, 1635, and was granted lands there in 1637. As was the custom, he took up the oc- cupation which he had followed in England, that of a fisherman. He found a most advan- tageous location on Nantasket Plantation (which became the town of Hull, May 29, 1644), and moved there in 1642. He acquired considerable of an estate, principally in land, as evidenced by his will made in 1680, in which he described his possessions as including land on the borders of Rhode Island. In it he names sons Nathaniel and Joseph, the latter as executor. He died 1683.
(II) Joseph Chaffee, son of Thomas Chafe, was born in Hull. He married, and had sev- eral children born in Swansea (Seacunck), whither he removed to engage in farming on lands bequeathed to him by his father.
(III) John Chaffee, son of Joseph Chaffee, was born in Swansea, 1673. He married, 1700, Sarah Hills, of Malden, Massachusetts, and (second) Elizabeth Haywood, of Ashford, Connecticut.
(IV) Joseph Chaffee, son of John and Sarah (Hills) Chaffee, was born January 17, 1705, in Swansea, on that part of the original common land called Seacunck, which became Barrington, Rhode Island. He later became a resident of Woodstock, Connecticut. He mar- ried Hannah May, who bore him several chil- dren.
(V) Asa Chaffee, son of Joseph and Han- nah (May) Chaffee, was born in Woodstock, Connecticut, June 5, 1734. He removed to South Wilbraham, Massachusetts. He was a minute-man in the Lexington battle, April 19, 1775, serving under James Warriner, and was also in Captain Daniel Cadwell's company, in Colonel Timothy Robinson's detachment of Hampshire county militia, enlisting December 25, 1776, and was in service three months and nine days at Ticonderoga. He was also in the service of the commonwealth in Shay's re- bellion, under Lieutenant Lewis Langdon. He
married Mary Howlett, of Woodstock, Con- necticut, who bore him sixteen children.
(VI) John Chaffee, son of Asa and Mary (Howlett) Chaffee, was born in Somers, Con- necticut, November 30, 1785. He married Lydia Elliot, born November 8, 1794, and their children were: Calista, Everett, Eliza, Faxon and Loren.
(VII) Faxon Chaffee, son of John and Lydia (Elliot) Chaffee, was born in Thomp- son, Connecticut, December 16, 1817, died February 27, 1870. He was engaged in the building of steam cars for many years. He married, August 9, 1846, Sarah J. Brown, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island; their children: El- len J., born January 5, 1849; Emory Franklin, see forward.
(VIII) Emory Franklin Chaffee, only son of Faxon and Sarah J. (Brown) Chaffee, was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, January 27, 1856. He attended the public schools of Danielson, Connecticut, and the National Col- lege of Business at New Haven, Connecticut, from which he graduated. His father dying when he was a mere lad, he was obliged at the early age of sixteen to earn. his own liveli- hood, thus beginning to carve his own way to success. Having married, he resided in Wo- burn for about a year, then removing to Som- erville. There in 1880 he opened a new phar- macy, on Cross street, of which he was proprietor for twenty-three years. Selling out the business in 1903 to his clerk, Mr. Chaffee became connected with a land syndicate, the first proprietors of which were J. W. Litch- field, Charles H. Porter and himself, he being trustee for the property. The syndicate pur- chased three different estates in Everett, Mas- sachusetts, divided them into house lots, located streets, etc. The first division was named Washington Park, and others later were Washington Park Addition and Mt. Washington Park. Later Messrs. Chaffee and Litchfield bought Mr. Porter's interest, and erected some business blocks. In 1903 , Mr. Chaffee bought Mr. Litchfield's interest. Hundreds of dwelling houses, several stores, churches and schools, have been built upon the · land, which now bears no resemblance to its former unimproved condition. Mr. Chaffee now gives his attention to looking after his real estate in Everett, and his blocks and houses in Somerville, besides caring for num- erous estates belonging to others. He is recognized as one of the prominent and in- fluential citizens of Somerville, his influence being always felt on the side of right and jus- tice, and in behalf of every enterprise for the

best interests of the community. He takes a deep and active interest in church work, and is a member, treasurer and head usher of the East Somerville Baptist Church, and is on the executive board of management. He acts with the Republican party, but has never sought or held public office. He is a member of the Railroad Club of Boston, the Universalist Men's Club of Somerville, and the Young Men's Baptist Social Union of Boston.
Mr. Chaffee married, January 1, 1879, Belle Genevieve Carter, born in Waterford, Maine, daughter of Henry Wyman and Sarah G. (Brown) Carter, of Woburn, Massachusetts. (See Carter family). Mr. and Mrs. Chaffee reside at 109 Pearl street, Somerville. Their children, all born in Somerville, are :
I. Beulah, born February 7, 1882; gradu- ated from Somerville grammar and high schools. Afterward she devoted herself to music, studying at the Faelton Piano School, Boston. After teaching music for a time she was married to Dr. John Allan McLean, a graduate of Harvard Medical School, and who also studied in the hospitals of London and Glasgow. Dr. McLean has been very suc- cessful in his practice. His family residence is 1150 Broadway, West Somerville.
2. Emory Leon Chaffee, born April 15, 1885. When a lad of nine years, and even before he had reached that age, he showed a marked taste for electricity and the sciences, preferring experimentation to the usual boyish sports. He was educated in the Somerville grammar and high schools, and after graduating from the English high school he designed, construct- ed and presented to the high school an X-ray coil of the Tesla type. It is of high power, giving a spark eighteen inches in length, and is now used for exhibition purposes in the chemistry and physics department. In June, 1907, he graduated with honor from the Insti- tute of Technology, Boston, receiving the de- gree of Bachelor of Science. In autumn of the same year he applied at Harvard College for entrance to the graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and was granted a scholarship upon his record at the Institute of Technology. It is his expectation, if health permits, to com- plete the course and receive the degree of Mas- ter of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy, and to then give a year to further study in the Uni- versity at Leipsic, Germany. In addition to prosecuting his studies, he is conducting per- sonal work in a building erected for the pur- pose in the rear of his home, containing labor- atories for X-ray and research work, and has performed much useful labor for physicians.
3. Lillian Carlotta, born March 29, 1891 .. She is now attending the English high school. 4. Raymond Osgood, born April 24, 1895. He attends the Edgerly grammar school.
All of these children are members of the East Somerville Baptist church, and active in its work, teaching in the Sunday school, etc.
Mrs. Belle Genevieve (Carter) Chaffee is a direct descendant of Rev. Thomas Carter (I), the first minister of Woburn, who was born in England, in 1610, during the reign of James I, presumably in Hertfordshire, at or near St. Albans. He without doubt was the grandson or great-grandson of Richard Carter, Lord of the Manor of Garston, in the parish of Wat- ford, England. The Rev. Thomas Carter en- tered St. John's College, University of Cam- bridge, England, April 1, 1626, and there took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1629-30, and the Master's degree in 1633. April 2, 1635, he embarked from St. Albans in the ship "Planter," bound for New England. He was obliged to take the disguise of a servant to one George Giddings, for the English govern- ment had at that period become so alarmed at the utter contempt of the colonists for the laws and authority of the Crown, that restraints were placed upon emigration to the colonies, and no one above the rank of serving man was permitted to remove without special leave, and persons of inferior rank were required to take the oath of supremacy and allegiance. Hence, because of the great difficulty of one of the Rev. Thomas Carter's education and position to obtain permission to emigrate, he adopted the disguise mentioned. He took a farm and homestall of 102 acres in Watertown, Massa- chusetts, and there married Mary Dalton. He was ordained November 22, 1642, and an ac- count of his ordination as the first minister in Woburn is given in the "History of New Eng- land," by Governor John Winthrop, Esq., first governor of Massachusetts. He continued in the pastorate forty-two years, during which long period the greatest harmony existed be- tween himself and the society. In Sewall's "History of Woburn" he is said to have been a pious, exemplary man, an able and sound preacher of the gospel, and one whom God honored and prospered in his work. Under his ministrations the church was greatly en- larged and built up, the town flourished and was for the most part in peace.
The earlier members of the Carter family were said to be a sturdy, industrious, sensible, kind hearted, public-spirited, Godfearing set of people. Their special characteristics were love of their kind-fidelity in the marriage re-

lation, and a cheerful recognition of the Divine command to "multiply and replenish the earth." The early records show them to have been prominent in all matters of public interest -the division of land and laying out of roads, building of churches and establishment of schools were entrusted to them. Many also were active in the military organizations and duties of their day, so that much of the re- ligious, moral and intellectual culture and prosperity of the communities where they set- tled is due to the labors of these ancestors. The most marked preference to any one calling seems to have been that of physician. There were many among the descendants, also many ministers of the gospel.
(II) Samuel Carter, eldest of the eight chil- dren of Rev. Thomas and Mary (Dalton) Carter, and in line of descent to Mrs. Belle Genevieve (Carter) Chaffee, was born August 8, 1640. He graduated from Harvard College in 1660, and in 1672 married Eunice Brooks, daughter of John and Eunice (Mousall) Brooks. He was admitted an inhabitant and proprietor of the common lands by a vote of the town of Woburn, January 4, 1665-6, and sustained at different times several responsible offices in the town-selectman 1679, 1681, 1682 and 1683; commissioner of rates 1680; town clerk 1690; was also teacher of the grammar school, 1685 and 1686. (Sewell's "History of Woburn"). We find in "Annals of Lancaster, Massachusetts," record of seventy-five acres of land deeded to him. This land was on George Hill, and was occupied by Mr. Carter's descendants for several generations. He preached at Lancaster between 1681 and 1688, and probably resided there for a time. The births of his nine children are recorded in the Woburn town records. From "Groton His- torical Series," No. 12, edited by Hon. Samuel A. Green, we learn that on October 21, 1692, by vote of the larger part of the town, they de- clared the Rev. Samuel Carter to be their fourth minister, to be ordained in due time. He moved to that place soon after receiving this call, but did not long remain over his pas- toral charge, dying there in the autumn of 1693. There is not much said in the town records of his brief ministry, but as one of the pioneer preachers in the early days of New England life, his memory deserves to be cher- ished.
(III) Samuel Carter, third child of Rev. Samuel and Eunice (Brooks) Carter, and next in descent, was born in Woburn, January 7, 1677, and died in Lancaster, August 30, 1738. He married, March, 1701, Dorothy Wilder,
born 1686, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Sawyer) Wilder. From "Annals of Lan- caster" we learn that they lived on George Hill, on the land formerly purchased by his father, Rev. Samuel Carter. He was assigned to a garrison on George Hill, with his brothers- in-law, Lieutenant Nathaniel and Ephraim Wilder, Thomas Ross, and his brother, John Carter, and lost in an attack by the Indians, July 31, 1704, with two fires, a good dwelling house, a horse, cow, two calves and his swine. He was selectman in 1723, and served on vari- ous committees for the location of highways, etc.
(IV) Josiah Carter, youngest of the twelve children of Samuel and Dorothy (Wilder) Carter, and great-great-grandfather of Belle Genevieve (Carter) Chaffee, was born Janu- ary 26, 1726, and died at Leominster, Febru- ary, 1812. He married, in 1745, Tabitha Hough, born 1729, died June 29, 1810. His farm was the northerly of the two farms on Carter Hill, which was owned by the descend- ants of Samuel (3). The beautiful slope of this hill marks the background of the view of Leominster on the west, with South Moonoos- nock just above it. It is recorded in the "Book of Revolutionary Soldiers" that Josiah Carter was the first major of Colonel Asa Whitcomb's regiment, engaged in battle April 19, 1775 (Lexington). He was also lieuten- ant-colonel of Colonel Abijah Stearn's Eighth (Worcester county) regiment, commissioned February 7, 1776, and lieutenant-colonel of Colonel Josiah Whitney's regiment, and he was also colonel of the Eighth (Worcester county) regiment. There is an official record in the above mentioned book of a ballot by the House of Representatives dated June 2, 1779, the appointment as colonel being concurred in council,* June 2, 1779. Colonel Josiah and Tabitha (Hough) Carter had fourteen chil- dren, several of whom died young.
(V) Abijah Carter, ninth child of Colonel Josiah and Tabitha (Hough) Carter, was born (probably at Leominster) September 5, 1761, and died at Bridgton, Maine. He served as a soldier in the revolutionary war, and until his death received a pension. The following
1S taken from "Revolutionary Soldiers :" "Abijah Carter was a private in Colonel Nicho- las Dike's regiment, and also in Colonel Abi- . jah Stearn's (Worcester county) regiment, and he marched to Saratoga, October 9, 1777, under command of Major Ebenezer Bridge, to assist General Gates. He also served in Col- onel John Rand's (Worcester county) regi- ment, and was in service there three months

and twelve days." He married, in April, 1781, Nancy Warner, of Leominster. After his marriage he settled in Jaffrey, New Hamp- shire. He was surveyor there in 1786, and owner of a pew in the church. He removed to Bridgton, Maine, where most of his fifteen children were born. Both he and his wife died there or near by.
(VI) Henry Carter, sixth child of Abijah and Nancy (Warner) Carter, was born in Bridgton, Maine, about 1790. He was senior deacon of the Methodist church in North Bridgton for many years. He married Hannah Cochran, of Andover, Massachusetts, and they had seventeen children, all of whom came to maturity except the firstborn, who died aged five and one-half years. Among the sons who served in the civil war were : James, in Twelfth New Hampshire Regiment; John, in Third Illinois Cavalry ; Austin, orderly sergeant in a Massachusetts regiment of heavy artillery, and who participated in nineteen battles ; and Ed- win, Twelfth Maine Regiment, who died from injuries received in service.
(VII) Henry Wyman Carter, eleventh child of Henry and Hannah (Cochran) Carter, was born January 9, 1838, in Bridgton, Maine. He was educated in the public school there, and took up the trade of carriage maker. He mar- ried, August 8, 1858, Sarah Georgie Brown, of Bridgton. They lived for a time in Chess Springs, Pennsylvania, and then settled in Woburn, Massachusetts, the home of Henry Wyman's first American ancestor. He and his wife were members of the First Baptist Church of Woburn. While visiting his sister, M'rs. N. A. Holt, of Lawrence, he died, September 25, 1885. The Odd Fellows of the Woburn Lodge, of which he was a member, and also of the Lawrence Lodge, officiated at the fu- neral, and accompanied the remains to their interment at Bridgton, Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Carter had two children : Henry Walter, died in Pennsylvania, aged twenty months; and Belle Genevieve.
(VIII) Belle Genevieve, daughter of Henry Wyman and Sarah Georgie (Brown) Carter, was born March 25, 1859, and married, Janu- ary 1, 1879, Emory Franklin Chaffee, then re- siding in Charlestown, Massachusetts. She was educated in the Woburn grammar and high schools, during the same time and after- ward studying music in the New England Conservatory and at the Petersilea Academy of Music, then located on Columbus avenue. She began teaching the piano when quite young, and at the time of her marriage had a large number of pupils. She gave several public re-
citals of her pupils, and also several individual recitals at Steinert Hall, Boston, besides play- ing concertos, etc., in entertainments in Music Hall, Tremont Temple, and elsewhere in Bos- ton and vicinity. With her husband she is a member of the East Somerville Baptist Church, serving on the music committee and as pianist of the Sunday school, and on the executive board of management. She has had charge of many successful entertainments in the church and at clubs. She is a member of the music committee of the Heptorean Club, a member of Somerville Woman's Club, and un- til recently belonged to the Maine Club of Somerville.
(I) John Cheney, immigrant CHENEY ancestor, was born in England. "John Cheny," wrote the min- ister of Roxbury, Massachusetts, John Eliot, the famous Indian Apostle, "he came into the land in the yeare 1635. he brought 4 children, Mary, Martha, John, Daniel. Sarah his 5th. child was borne in the last month of the same year 1635, cald February. he removed from or church to Newbery the end of the next su'er 1636. Martha Cheney the wife of John Cheny." He may have been brother of William Cheney who settled in Roxbury among the first settlers. These two were the original im- migrants of this name, and from them descend the American families. At Newbury John Cheney prospered. His allotments of land were large. He had a good stand in the "old town" and on shore and stream elsewhere. He had three acres granted June 19, 1638, at the west- erly end of the great swamp behind the great hill ; August 25, six acres of salt marsh ; then a parcel of marsh with little islands of upland in it, about twenty acres, Little river on the north- west, formerly part of the calf common, as- signed to him July 5, 1639. Lot No. 50 in the "New Towne" on the Field street was granted him January 10, 1643. He was a member of the grand jury April 27, 1648; selectman often ; member of a committee to lay out the way to the neck and through the neck to the marshes on the east side of the old town, No- vember 29, 1654. He was interested in public affairs, and was one of the famous ten men of Newbury who took such interest in the cam- paign of Governor Winthrop against Sir Harry Vane that they made the journey of forty miles afoot from Newbury to Cambridge to take the freeman's oath. They were ad- mitted May 17, 1637. It was by such earnest action on the part of his supporters that Win-
