Ok here's a close possibility..
Robert Charles Chaffee (1816-1887) m. Sophia Russell in 1837 and they had 8 children.
Then in 1857 he married Ann Shields and had 11 children for a total of 19. His son Ezra A
was from the first marriage to Sophia. Ezra married Magdelene Martin and I've only
been able to find 2 chilren John Robert and Ezra (Jr?). I can only find Oscar as married
so am unable to connect him to Ezra. In 1905 Oscar was married and living in Kansas
I'm looking for the family in the 1880 and 1900 census. Its possible the numbers you
have are exagerated and I can't find a 3rd wife; if there was one. So its not solved
as of yet.
