This takes the pedigree back to William Chadburn of Winchcombe who was born about 1548, and we know from taxation papers which have been examined that the family was living there before that date.
The surname occurs at Doddenham in the adjoining county of Worcester as far back as 1273. The following sources of information have been searched :
(a) Wills and administrations in the Principal Probate Registry in London and the local registry at Gloucester.
(b) The records and collections of the College of Arms.
(c) The registers of Winchcombe and the adjoining parishes.
(d) Marriage licenses.
(e) Subsidy Rolls for the years 1524, 1543, 1558 and 1593.
The pedigree as given by the College of Arms dates back to the parish records of Winchcombe Parish, Winchcombe, County Gloucester. The first record of the name is to be found in 1543, when both Thomas and Robert Chadburne were assessed for subsidy. Which of these were of the direct line has not been ascertained.
(I) WILLIAM CHADBURN, of Winchcombe, County Gloucester, was born about 1548. He married, at Winchcombe, October 4, 1573, Margaret Bayne. Children, baptized at Winchcombe, County Gloucester :

(II) WILLIAM CHADBOURNE, of Winchcombe, was baptized there, February 9, 1584-85. He married, at Winchcombe, May 8, 1610, Helen Towneley. This William is the William who is believed to be, after search by the College of Arms, of England, the William who came to America and whose history follows in Gen- eration I of the American line.
(Records of the College of Arms.)
(The Family in America).
(I) WILLIAM CHADBOURNE, who is believed to be identical, as stated above, with William Chadbourne, of Winchcombe, was the founder of the American branch of the family. He came to the colonies in 1634, and arrived at Kittery, Maine, July 8, 1634, with two other companions. It is believed that they came from Devonshire, England, as many of the Kittery settlers emigrated either from Dartmouth or Kingsweare, lying on opposite banks of the River Dartmouth, in the County Devonshire. William Chadbourne and his companions, James Wall and John Goddard, arrived in this country on a vessel called the "Pied Cow," and landed in a cove which bears to this day the name "Cow Cove." William and his two fellow-emigrants were carpenters who came over to build for their patentee, Captain John Mason, what was probably the first sawmill erected in New England. They were to work for Captain Mason for five years, at the duration of which time they were to receive in return fifty acres of land on lease for the term of three lives, meaning generations, paying the annual rent of three bushels of corn. Cap- tain Mason, however, died the following year. In the "Deposition of James Wall," taken the "21, of the 3. month, 1652," there is a quaint account of this arrange- ment which is signed by George Smyth, before whom it was "sworne." It states :
This Deponent sayethe, that abonte the yeare 1634, he, with his partners, William Chad- bourne and John Goddarde, came over to New England vpon the accompte of Captaine John mason of London, and also for themselues, and were landed at Newichawannock, vpon certaine lands there which mr. Joieslenn, Captaine Mason's Agente, brought them vnto, with the leadinge of some goodes, and there they did build vpp at the fall there (called by the Indian name of Ashbenbedick) for the use of Captaine Mason & our selues, one sawe mill and one stampinge mill for Corne, w'ch we did keep the space of three or four years next after; and further this Deponent sayth, he builte one house vpon the same lands, and soe did William Chadburne another & gave it to his soone in Law, Thomas Spencer who now lives in it.
And this Deponent also sayth that we had peaceful and quite possession of that lande for the vse of Captaine Mason afforesaide, and that the saide Agente did buye some planted ground of some of the Indians, w'ch they had planted vpon the sade land, and that Captaine Masons agentes servants did breake vp & cleared certaine lands there, and planted Corne vpon it, and all this is to his beste rememberance.
James wall sworne, whoe affirmed vpon his oath that the p'misses is true :
This statement by one of William Chadbourne's companions was made some eighteen years after the work had been accomplished.
The date of William's death is not known, but it is a fact that he was living in 1652, for at that date he signed the act of submission to Massachusetts, along with forty other inhabitants of Kittery, on November 16 of that year.
William Chadbourne married, at Winchcombe, County Gloucester, Helen Towneley. While records state that William Chadbourne and his wife were the parents of three children, the records of the College of Arms give children listed as follows :
I. William, of Portsmouth, New England, was baptized at Winchcombe, March 1, 1611; he married Mary, and they were the parents of a daughter, Mary, who was born in Boston, in 1644.

(II) HUMPHREY CHADBOURNE, son of William and Helen (Towneley) Chad- bourne, was born in England, and died in New England in the summer of 1667. Humphrey preceded his father by three years, arriving in this country in the bark "Warwick" on September 9, 1631. He came as chief carpenter for David Thomp- son, patentee, and built what was called the "Great House" at Strawberry Bank, now Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he lived for several years. The "Great House" was originally a blockhouse for defense against the hostile Indians, but was likely used for a trading post as well. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in his book on Portsmouth, "An Old Town by the Sea," says: "It was not until 1631 that the Great House was erected by Humphrey Chadbourne on Strawberry Bank. Mr. Chadbourne consciously, or unconsciously, sewed a seed from which a city has sprung."
Eventually this "chief of the artificers," as Hubbard calls Humphrey Chad- bourne, took up his abode in Newichawannock, where he is said to have suc- ceeded Ambrose Gibbons as steward for Mason. He became very prosperous, and purchased from the Indians on May 10, 1643, a large tract of land called Roles, or Rowles, in Newichawannock. This land, bought from an Indian saga- more, or tribal chief, remained in the Chadbourne family for more than two hun- dred years. In 1651-52, Humphrey received grants of about three hundred acres of land in Kittery. He took a very active part in the affairs of the town, and is called by Sarah Orne Jewett, "the lawgiver," of Kittery. In 1651, he was elected one of the selectmen ; from 1654 to 1659 he was town clerk; in 1652, he signed the Submission Act to Massachusetts ; he was deputy to the General Court in 1657, 1659, 1660; and in 1662 he was appointed one of the associate judges for the county of York. He was sworn an officer of the Court of Maine, at Saco, June 25, 1640; a juror October 15, 1650; assessed the inventory of the estate of Thomas Etherington, of Kittery, August 16, 1665. Humphrey served as ensign of the militia in 1653, and undoubtedly did his part in the Indian encounters, which were numerous then.
The will of Humphrey Chadbourne, dated May 25, 1667, and recorded the following October 15, is a long but interesting document. According with Eng- lish custom, he made his eldest son, Humphrey, his principal heir, adding to his bequeathed gifts of real estate, his saddle horse, "will all the furniture to him belonging." Provision was also made for his other sons and for his widow, and to each of his daughters he left one hundred pounds. To his "ounckle," Nicholas

BLINN
Shapleigh, testator gave "one very good beaver hatt," and to his cousins, "William Spencer and John Spanleigh, each 'a good castor hatt.'" "as good as can be got- ten." At the time of his death, Humphrey owned farms, mills, and timber land, his property including "900 acres of land by estimation." The inventory of his estate, returned by the appraisers, September 12-13, 1667, placed the value of his property at 1,713 pounds and fourteen shillings, which was considered an enor- mous fortune at that time.
Humphrey Chadbourne married Lucy Treworgy. (Treworgy II.) They were the parents of six children, the youngest posthumous. Children :
I. Humphrey, Jr., principal heir to his father's estate; assessed the inventory of the estate of James Goss, May, 1688; died before 1699.
2. James, of whom further.
3. William, provided for in his father's will.
4. Lucy, mentioned in the wills of her father, 1667, and her mother, 1699; married Peter Lewis.
5. Alyce or Alice, mentioned in the wills of her father, 1667, and her mother, 1699; was left one hundred pounds as her inheritance, as was Lucy; married Samuel Dunnell.
6. Katherine, born posthumous; mentioned in the wills of her father, 1667, and her mother, 1699; married a Weymouth, who died before 1708.

(III) JAMES CHADBOURNE, son of Humphrey and Lucy (Treworgy) Chad- bourne, lived all his life in Kittery, and died there about 1686. He received a number of land grants, and described himself as "The Proprietor of high Lord of the Soyle." He was one of the trustees of the estate of John Heard, whose granddaughter, Elizabeth Heard, daughter of James and Shuah Heard, he married sometime between 1675 and 1680. Elizabeth (Heard) Chadbourne married, after the death of James, her first husband, (second) Samuell Small. James and Eliza- beth Chadbourne had two children.
. (Old documents. Family records.)
(IV) JAMES CHADBOURNE, JR., son of James and Elizabeth (Heard) Chad- bourne, was born in Kittery, September 29, 1684, and died before April 9, 1765. He received a grant of land in Kittery in 1704, and in 1739 he became one of the grantees of forty "settlers' lots" of one hundred and thirty acres each in the new town of Phillipstown, which was incorporated as the town of Sanford, Maine, in 1768, and of which James was one of the most prominent founders. He received two lots and moved there with his family. He built Chadbourn's blockhouse, and a second saw and gristmill in the town, the latter on the Mousam River, on the site now occupied by one of the mills of the extensive Goodall plush plants. James, Jr., took an active part in the affairs of the town, and also served in the Indian Wars with his four sons.
James Chadbourne, Jr., married, September 24, 1713, Sarah (Hatch) Down- ing, daughter of John Hatch, and the widow of Joshua Downing. Children :
I. John, of whom further.
2. James, served with his three brothers and father in the Indian encounters.
3. Joshua, also fought the Indians. And four other children.

(V) JOHN CHADBOURNE, son of James, Jr., and Sarah (Hatch) Chadbourne, was born in Kittery, March 23. 1716-17, and died April 5, 1789, just three months after the death of his wife. In 1739, he removed to Phillipstown with his father, and purchased one of the "settler's lots" there. According to an old record, "Sep- tember 30, 1757, James Chadbourn sold to John Chadbourn, Phillipstown, black- smith, for sixty pounds," this lot. John was one of the owners of the Chadbourn's mills. He served, with his two brothers, James and Joshua, in the Indian Wars, first in Captain Jonathan Bean's company, from 1747 to 1748, then as a sergeant in Captain William Gerrish's company in 1759, and in the same capacity under Captain Gerrish on the eastern frontier in 1760. He and his brother, Joshua, united with the First Congregational Church of Wells. John Chadbourne married, in December, 1740, Mary Spinney, daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Rummery) Spinney, who was born in 1722 and died on January 10, 1789. They were the parents of four children, among them :

five years and then Ivory W. Chadbourne returned to Boston by way of Calcutta in the ship "Polynesia," which completed his trip around the world. During the next forty-five years of his life he lived in Boston. He married, in Boston, June 17, 1885, Sarah Elizabeth Watress, who was born March 23, 1838, and died in Boston, December 25, 1906.

(The Blagden Line).
The English surname, Blagdon, originated to signify a dweller of the Black Down. The name is often spelled Blagden, which may have been used first to designate a dweller of the Black Hollow or Valley in the Old English words, "blaec" and "denu," or as Harrison suggests, it may be taken from Blagdon. There is a township of the name in the parish of Stannington, County Cumber- land, and a parish of Blagdon, or Blagden, in the county of Somerset, eight miles from Axbridge, England. There are several records of persons bearing the name in the counties of England, among which is mentioned Walter de Blakedon in the County Somerset, in the time of Edward I; a Robert Blakeden, from the County Surrey, who was registered at Oxford University, in 1587; the baptism of Ann, daughter of John Blackden at St. Michael, Cornhill, in 1631; and Thomas, son of James and Sarah Blagden, in 1689.
(Harrison : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." Lower: "Patronymica Britannica.")
The first mention of the name in America is, according to family tradition, of two brothers who came to the colonies from England, one to settle in Boston and the other in Maine. In the deeds of Lincoln County, Maine, there is the follow- ing record: "July 7, 1784, James Blagden, of Starr Ysland and Roger Kelly of Smuttynos Ysland, at the Ysland of Shoals bot a cable and anker of John Wilde of Mass." These Isles of Shoals consist of several small islands which lie partly off the coast of New Hampshire, and partly off the coast of Lincoln County, Maine, which would make it seem likely that the James Blagden (or Blagdon) mentioned in the record above quoted was the first member of the family in America.
Later, two brothers came to Lincoln County, where one settled near the Kenne- bec River, nearly opposite Richmond, and the other somewhere in the vicinity of "Head Tide." It is thought on good authority that Captain Rawlins Blagdon, of whom further, was the brother who settled near Richmond.

(I) CAPTAIN RAWLINS BLAGDON, or, as his name is spelled in various rec- ords, Rollins, Rathins, Roline, or Rolin Blagdon, or Blagden, may have married twice. The 'intentions of his first marriage are as follows: "Rothins Blagdon and Martha Laiton both of Pownalborough, October 17, 1773." This publishment was made from the clerk's office in Lincoln County, and was followed by the fur- ther announcement, "November 4, 1773, then married Roline Blagdon and Martha Lighton-Both of Powalborough. Thomas Moore-minister of the Gospel." The records are difficult to read due to the age of the documents and the not too plain handwriting of the clerk. Another record reads as follows: "Mr. Rollins Blagdon and Miss Sally Pressy both of this town intend marriage. Dated at Pownalborough, October 8th, 1796. A certificate given Wm. Barker Town Clerk." Children of the first marriage :
I. John, marriage intentions published at Pownalborough, August 27, 1796, to Nabby Nute, who married (second) Benjamin Blagden.
2. Benjamin, born about 1776, died in Wiscasset, July 19, 1830; marriage intentions pub- lished October 1, 1805, to Mrs. Nabby (Nute) Blagden.
3. Alexander, born in 1781, died in Wiscasset, August 4, 1843; marriage intentions published in Wiscasset, July 1, 1804 (certificate given) to Huldah Nute, sister of the above mentioned Nabby Nute. Huldah Nute was born in 1780, and died in 1864. Alex- ander and Huldah (Nute) Blagden were the parents of seven children.
4. David, called "of Wiscasset" in the records, married (first), February 8, 1821, Hannah Kincaid, and (second), in 1829, Louisa Rawlins, born February 24, 1808, died at Alna, Maine, June 10, 1834, daughter of Stephen and Margaret (Peters) Rawlins or Rollins, and the granddaughter of Nathaniel Rawlins. David and Louisa (Raw- lins) Blagdon had two children, both of whom died young.
5. Charles, of whom further.

(II) CHARLES BLAGDON, son of Captain Rawlins (or Rollins) and Martha (Laiton, or Lighton) Blagdon, was born about 1795, and died at Wiscasset, Maine, April 13, 1853, where he had lived. He married, in Pownalborough, Maine, where the intentions of his marriage were published, November 2, 1823, on Christmas Day, in 1823, Margaret Nute (also spelled Margaretta) Nute, sister of the wives of her husband's brothers. The wedding was recorded March 25, 1826, by Joshua Hilton, town clerk, of Wiscasset. Children :
I. Charles, married Caroline Carleton, and had no children.
2. Elbridge, married Susan Erskine, and had two children, Flora and Lizzie.
3. Mary Ann, married a Blake and had three children, Hattie, Julia, and Maria, as well as three boys who died young.
4. Harriet Augusta, of whom further.
