The Chaffee Genealogy book reveals that Leonard Almon Chaffee was the son of Almon
Chaffee. The
descent goes like this:
Almon Chaffee (Benjamin, Thomas, Jonathan, Jonathan, Nathaniel, Thomas), born March
28, 1809
Leonard Almon Chaffee, born January 2, 1834
Harland A. Chaffee, born September 23, 1877
Of course, the book goes into more detail than this, so if you need more, let me know.
Of interest to me is that your Benjamin was the brother of Abigail Chaffee, whom , based
on very
strong circumstantial evidence, was my 3rd great-grandmother. She married Amos Watkins in
Beckett,
MA, in 1809. Their children, per the book, were Darius, Louisa, and another child, name
unknown.
The book doesn't provide any further detail on this family.
But by 1837 Amos and Darius Watkins, my 2nd great-grandfather, were in Portage Co., OH.
It was
there, in 1837, that Amos, an apparent widower, married Emeline Barnes, and where three
years later,
Darius married Lucy Ann Barnes. [Emeline and Lucy Ann were close enough in age to have
been sisters
(not proven)].
So, the question is, do you -- or anyone else out there -- know what became of Abigail?
I'm
thinking she may have died giving birth to that unnamed child -- but where or when?

| Hi all I'm attempting to clean up my database and am hoping one of you can help me
with my current
issue.
|
| I have Harland 1877-1965 as the son of Almon or Leonard Almon Chaffee 1809-1859. And
he is the
son of Benjamin 1762-1830. Well obviously Harland was born to late to be the son of
someone who
died 20 yrs before he was born. :( I'm thinking that Almon and Leonard A. are two
different people
and one was born later. But then I run into the issue of how old Benjamin would be to
have a son
born later (all his children are born btwn 1764 and 1809) . Maybe someone has better info
moving the
line from Benjamin through Harland. Any help greatly appreciated. Working forward I have
Thomas,
Nathaniel, Jonathan, Jonathan, Thomas and then Benjamin etc... Thanks in advance.
