Notes - Need to verify the following information from the "The Chaffee Genealogy," as some of it may pertain to Joseph's father:
Joseph was a native the Island of Guernsey, England, but had resided in London for some years. He arrived at Boston, Massachusetts Bay, in 1713 or 1718. He later settled at Seekonk, MA, near Providence, RI. There he was a brickmaker by trade. He died in England during a trip there to settle his affairs. His widow lived in Roxbury, MA, where she opened a school and is said to have taught French.
From "The Armington Family in America":
Joseph came to America with his parents and probably his sisters. After serving an apprenticeship as a brickmaker in Dorchester, MA, he went to Rehoboth, MA, and started his own business there. The inventory of his estate mentioned that he was in the process of building a brick school house when he died.
According to descendant Asa W. Armington, writing in 1846, Joseph died about 1747 of dysentery and was buried in the yard at Seekonk Meeting House.
