According to genealogy information I inherited from my mother, James and Rhoda (Cady)
Chaffee were the parents of Lucy Chaffee who married Salmon/Solomon Green. Lucy and
Salmon/Solomon are given as the parents of Horace Green (who married Polly Hartwell). I
have also seen this posted on the LDS website in various sources. However, I have had
other researchers tell me that, according to the Chaffee Book, Salmon/Solomon and Lucy did
not have a son named Horace. The only definitive information I can find on Horace before
his arrival in Michigan in 1837 from New York is this: a family bible cited in a privately
published family history (1920) says Horace was born 7 August 1799 in Monsen, Hampdon, MA,
married Polly Hartwell 18 December 1822 in North Norwich, Dutchess, NY. Horace and Polly
Green lived in Greene, Chenango, NY for the first 14 years of their marriage. Do you know
if this Horace was the son of Lucy Chaffee? I am descended from Horace and am trying to
discover whether!
or not the Chaffee relationship information I have is valid. Thank you!
