What an interesting story! My goodness what work you have done to find out all that
history and to find your half siblings. Out of curiosity, what did the Chapin family do in
NY or coming from England that provided them with enough money to just give him alot to
bum around his life? One wierd thing that I have found in tracing my family history is
that with the men the more children they had, the longer they lived! We have ancestors
living in their 70s-90's-something almost unheard of in colonial times!
I posted some information on the Prouty board (Sarah Burke Warner married the Prouty). She
said that she was the daughter of Thankful and Joel. So I think we have clarified that
Thankful was the mother. Hopefully, she will know something of Gratia, too.
I will let you know if I get something on Gratia/Thankful.
