James Cady Chaffee, my great great grandfather, had the following 11 children with his
wife Lucy Adaline Chaffee. To my knowledge there were not 15 children. He apparently
abandoned her and either married or did not marry Melinda Sales Denny and had 2 (or
possibly 3) more children with her. According to her nephew, Esther Ruth Chaffee was
married to Bill Simpson.
