    Notes:

    Baptisms from Rehoboth church records, transcribed by Elisha Turner, NEHGR, Vol. 15, Jan 1861:
    Jonathan Chaffey, 17 Apr 1709
    Nat. Chaffey, 17 Apr 1709
    Hannah Chaffey, 17 Apr 1709
    Dan l Chaffey (no date given)
    Miriam Chaffey, (no date given)
    These are some of Jonathan's children.

    The following information is extracted from William H. Chaffee's "The Chaffee Genealogy," published by Grafton Press in the early 1900s:

    "Jonathan Chaffe was several times chosen a grand juryman, also elected selectman, field driver, tything man, etc." In 1727 the town of Rehoboth appointed him to prepare and oversee a plan to locate schools throughout the town. He is known to have bought land in Ashford, CT, which he gave/sold to his eldest son, Jonathan, and to his brother David. Records also show that he became guardian of his brother Noah's two orphaned sons, presumably after 1736. Land deeds refer to Jonathan as "Yeoman," "husbandman," and "Mason."

    The old burying ground by the Congregational Church in Rumford, RI, has a stone which reads:
    Jonathan Chaffe
    Departed this life
    December 31, 1766
    in the 89th year of
