Message Board Post:
My Dad, John Franklin Chaffee, was born 12-25-1898 in Venita, Okla. He passed December
1979. In doing research, I have noticed that the same name or names would keep coming up
generation after generation and throughout the extended family. Does make me wonder if
there is a common ancestor in our lineage, maybe back a way. The other possibility is
that someone with that name was famous in the late 1800,s and people used that name. Like
all the Elvis we have now. Dad lived most of his life in Chanute, Kansas. Hope info
helps.
