I didn't see the original message concerning this subject, but is Larry
certain the b. date is 1588? Also is is he certain of the place Roxbury?
Deacon Samuel Chapin was baptized 8 Oct. 1598, Paignton, England and died
11 Nov 1675, Springfield, MA. When Samuel and his family first arrived in
the colonies they settled in Roxbury, MA!! Note that this Samuel seems
to be the progenitor of most Chapins in the US!!!
The source for these comments is from "The Chapin Book" compiled by
Gilbert Warren Chapin, 1924.
Larry needs to check his sources!!!
