Hi Matthew. Per Chaffee Genealogy book: Benjamin Chaffee was born 07-10-1732 Woodstock,
Ma(now CT)and probably died 1811 Ashford, CT. married Hannah Skinner 09-19-1754 Woodstock.
They had: (1)Sally Chaffee married Parker Chapman(Oliver Chapman's brother),(2)Eunice
Chaffee married Oliver Chapman [NOTE: Oliver Chapman baptized 12-21-1766 & Parker
Chapman baptized 09-10-1769 in First Congregational Church, Woodstock. Their parents were
Thomas Chapman and Mary Chaffee, born 1733 Woodstock to Ebenezer Chaffee and Mary
Scarborough. Ebenezer Chaffe brother to Joseph Chaffee [John/Joseph,Thomas Chaffe](who had
Benjamin,who had Eunice). Ebenezer Chaffee had Mary Chaffee who had Chapman's. SO,
Ebenezer's child, Mary, married Chapman, and two of their children married two of
Benjamin's children, Sally and Eunice. Eunice and Oliver Chapman were cousins].
(3)Wealthy Chaffee married Peter Chamberlain,(4)Polly Chaffee(twin)married William Snell
Jr.,(5)Dolly Chaffee(twin),(6)Joseph Chaffee married Clarissa Griggs and Roxy
Griggs,(7)Harriet Chaffee,(8)Louisa Chaffee married Unknown Skinner (9)Dorcas Chaffee. My
line goes from Thomas/Joseph/John/Joseph/then Asa instead of Benjamin, who you are related
from. Asa would be my 5th great grandfather and Benjamin yours, I believe. Check Ashford
and Woodstock in 1810, 1820, 1830, etc for family. I would estimate that Eunice Chaffee
born abt 1760. Just a guess. If you need to contact me: tcbjammon(a)yahoo.com
Sincerely, Terry W. Chaffee
