Message Board Post:
I'm looking for the parentage and birthplace of this Benjamin Chaplin. Earliest
mention of him is his marriage to Tamesen Walden (also spelled Alden/Waldern) on 10 Oct
1717 in both the Salem and Lynn, MA vital records. Not sure why in both but I know they
are next to each other.
I've seen records of a Benjamin Chaplin born to a John Chaplin in Salem MA in 1687
however I have seen two sources mention he was from England.

and

.
If from England as stated here, anyone have information on when he came over and from
where?
If he's not from England as indeed son of John, does anyone have any stronger link
than the one birth record I was able to find.
Thank you.
