Looking for info on Jehial Chapin, b. 17 Dec 1761
Springfield, Hampden, MA, son of Timothy Chapin &
Martha Wells. Jehial m. Ursula Bement, b. 8 Apr 1765
in Springfield. Children:
Tryphena 2 Feb 1785; Jehiel 28 May 1787; Ursula 15 Jul
1789; Chloe 12 Feb 1792; Burt 25 Jun 1795; Amanda 8
Sep 1798; Jonathan B. 25 Jun 1805. Chloe was listed
on an internet posting about 5 years age, but recent
postings of this family do not show Chloe. However,
she is listed as dau of Jehiel in Massachusetts Town
Records.
I believe Chloe is the Chloe Skinner shown on the 1850
Barre, Orleans Co., NY census, and 1860 Mackford,
Green Lake, Wisconsin census. By process of
elimination, (the 1830 & 1840 censuses have the right
number of children at the right ages), I feel she
married Samuel Skinner.
I believe this Chloe is Chloe Chapin because: 1) she
is the correct age, and correct place of birth. 2)
her oldest son is named Chapin Skinner....naming a
child after the family name is a tradition in the
Bement family.
Would love to hear from another descendant of Jehiel &
Ursula, or anyone with info on this family.

Let's all the new members, lurkers, those that have
