Dear Ruth, the info I have might help or not. It seems all of George's siblings were
born in Sullivan, OH , so try the census's or records from the County Sullivan is part
of. Here goes with the brothers of George: Eugene Leroy Chaffee DOB 05-07-1869, Harvey
Alonson Chaffee DOB 10-20-1873, Clarence Edwin Chaffee DOB 10-18-1882 DOD 07-29-1883 and
one sister: Wilnie Eugenia Chaffee DOB 01-13-1875. Most likely there is somesort of
record of births or census(done every 10 years I believe). By the way, the mother of all
the children listed was Olive M(Close) Smith and there was a first wife of Daniel named
Almira W Gould(father Montravilla Gould of Vermont) DOD 0908-1867 buried in Sullivan, OH.
Daniel and Almira had a girl named Nora May Chaffee DOB 05-14-1864(married Benjamin
Foulk). My sources do not have any more(The Chaffee Geneology Book was written in 1909 by
William H. Chaffee of NY on the Grafton Press)information since I assume the silblings
were still alive but Willi!
am didn't have present info in 1909. You might find the book in the library. I hope
I helped a little. Cheers cousin. TW Chaffee
