Fifth Generation

62. WILLIAM 5 CHADBOURNE (41. William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick 30 July 1714 (BVR, 208); baptized First Church of Berwick 21 Nov 1714 (NEHGR, 82:77); died circa Sep 1761 (YP #2708); married probably by 1735 (first child's conception) PHEBE YEATON, born 1718-9 (aad), died Portsmouth NH July 1784, age 65 (NEHGR, 82:410), daughter of Philip and Joanna (Pray) Yeaton (see below). Phebe married second before 25 Sep 1769 (YD 41:166) William Abbott, born about 1711, baptized Kittery 8 Feb 1719/20 with his siblings (NEHGR 82:8--), died of atrophy Nov 1787, age 76 (Records of the South Church, Portsmouth NH, ts, NH Hist Soc, Concord NH), son of Joseph3 and Alice (Nason) Abbott. Phebe is probably the "Abbot,_____, wife of William, 65 years, who died Jul _ 1784" (ibid).

Phebe Hobbs, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Morrill) Hobbs, was previously believed to be the wife of William, but further evidence points toward Phebe Yeaton. Thomas Hobbs Jr was chosen guardian (with his wife Mary Abbott) to five of Phebe's minor children after William's death and still was guardian to the three youngest in 1768 (YP #2651). A relationship to this Hobbs family is strongly indicated, but has not been proven. Phebe Chadbourne was received into the First Church of Berwick on 11 July 1742, the same day that Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Hobbs Sr, was baptized there.

            William and Phebe lived in Berwick, where William was called a yeoman in deeds and a laborer in probate (MPA 10/43). He served in Capt Moses Butler's Company during the Louisburg Expedition of 1745 and, with others at Cape Breton 10 July 1745, authorized Peter Grant to receive his bounty money, "if there be any coming...in taking the famous city's plunder" (Burrage,Maine at Louisburg in 1745, 60, 74). William's autograph appears on a note of hand signed in Somersworth NH 19 Mar 1761 (York Co Common Pleas, Oct Term, 1770).

            On 14 June 1759, William Chadbourne, yeoman of Berwick, and his younger brother Thomas Chadbourne, smith of Portsmouth NH, joined together to sell their rights in he Fowling Marsh allocated to "our Father William Chadbourn, Decd," (YD 36:257-8).

            In William's probate papers (YP #2708), the widow is allowed maintenance of 2 children of the deceased under 7 years of age for 10 months in July 1762, from which the approximate date of his death is calculated. The inventory was listed as £35.19.0 (ibid). While no real estate appeared in the inventory, claims were made against the estate in 1765 and 1770, showing that he left land. The 1770 claim showed that his estate was in the hands of Phebe and William Abbot (YD 39:263; 42:16). Widow Phebe Chadbourne cohabited with William Abbott from May 1767 to Oct 1767 "as man and wife, they being unmarried" (York Co General Sessions, Oct 1767). They were published in Berwick 30 Nov 1764 (BVR, 3), but apparently did not go through with the ceremony. She married him after this court appearance and before 25 Sep 1769 when she is called Phebe Abbot, wife of William, in a deed (YD 41:166). They later moved to Portsmouth.

Children (indicated age: three baptized First Church of Berwick, others presumed born Berwick), surname CHADBOURNE:

            i.            CATHERINE6, b 3 Jan 1736 (BVR says 1726); bpt 28 Mar 1736; d Moultonborough NH 24 Oct 1823, age 87 (Moultonborough VR); m1 Berwick 10 Apr 1755 (NEHGR 82:511) SOLOMON ABBOTT, who d before 1 Jan 1759 (MPA 10/68, 132; YP #2634); m2 Berwick 27 Jan 1761 (NEHGR 83:9) JAMES ABBOTT, d after 10 July 1779 (will made); m3 Berwick 6 Jan 1789 (NEHGR, 74:258) SHIPWAY GOODWIN, bpt Berwick 4 June 1732 (ibid, 82:91), d Moultonborough NH ca 1816 (Moultonborough tax lists, NH State Archives), son of William and Abigail (Stone) Goodwin, and a descendant of Patience2 Chadbourne, (qv, John S Goodwin, Goodwins of Kittery, Maine, 48). Shipway had m1 (BVR, 197) Lydia Lord, with whom he left issue. James' will, made 10 July 1779, was not proved until 15 Dec 1794, and named his wife Katharine, who received household goods and all his personal estate, and three children. It was witnessed by Humphrey Chadbourn, Humphrey Chadbourn 3d, and William Chadbourn Jr, the last two named probably being her brothers (MPA 16/532; 17/7,23). Shipway Goodwin and Katharine his wife settled James Abbott's estate in 1795 (YP 16:532, 17:7, 23:69). Children with first husband, b Berwick, surname Abbott: 1. John, b 20 Aug 1755. 2.

73        iv.           WILLIAM, bpt Berwick 6 Sep 1744.

            v.            PHEBE, b 25 Nov 1748 (Early Marriages of Strfford Co NH); d after 1799; m 14 July 1768 by Rev Dr Jeremy Belknap of 1st Church at Dover ("Vital Records of Dover, NH 1686-1850", 1894, reprint 1977, Dover Hist Soc) PEASLEE4 MORRELL, b 25 9mo 1748 (Berwick Friend's Rec, NEHGR 72:255), d Brownville ME 9 Aug 1847 (Williamson, Morrill Lineage), or Belgrade ME 9 Oct 1828, age 97 (Bangor Hist Mag, 6:159), son of Peter3 (John2-1) and Sarah (Peaslee) Morrell. The Chase Chart of 1858 says that Phebe m William Abbott, which is an error, confusing her with her mother Phebe's second marriage. Phebe was under Thomas Hobbs' guardianship in 1763, age over 14. Two grandsons of this family were governors of the State of Maine. The family may have been Quaker. Peaslee was disowned by the church in 1768, probably because he had married out. Children, surname Morrell: 1. Hannah, b ca 1774, d Cumberland 10 July 1848, m Ebenezer Wells, 5 ch. 2. Peaslee, b 1771, may have m Berwick 2 Sep 1804 (BVR, 52) Jane Frost of Sanford. 3. Reuben. 4. Stephen, b 1773. 5. Elizabeth, dy. 6. Peter, b Berwick 22 Nov 1779, d 24 Oct 1818, m1 Falmouth 29 Dec 1803 Mary/Mercy Hall, b Falmouth 1782, d 10 Dec 1855, dau of Jededia and Hannah (Hussy) Hall, may have m2 1825 Jane (Emery) Frost, 8 ch (Morrell Fam Rec).

            vi.           JOANNA, b between 1749-1763; d before 4 July 1793 (husband's m2); m Second Church Berwick 28 May 1772 (NEHGR 74:250) ISAAC MORRELL, b 31 Jan 1739, d by 23 Apr 1799 (MPA 18/63A, 18/64; 18/80), son of Robert and Patience (Weymouth) Morrell #18.v.4. He m2 4 July 1793 Hannah Stanley, who survived him (Morrell Family Gen; YP). Joanna was one of the three children under 14 who had Thomas Hobbs appointed their guardian, possibly one of the two under age 7 in 1763. Francis Chadbourn was a surety on the guardian's bond when Peter Morrell Jr of Berwick was appointed guardian to Betsey, under 14 on 23 Apr 1799, and Moses Weymouth was one of those dividing the estate on 20 May of that year, which division names wife Hannah, and his children, all evidently with Joanna. Children, surname Morrell: 1. Isaac, "only son". 2. Molly, d after 23 June 1800, m by 20 May 1799 William Hobbs, who d by 23 June 1800 (MPA 18/264; MPA 18/208). 3. Joanna, m by 20 May 1799 John 5 Dennett (John 4-3-2-1). 4. Betsey, under 14 on 23 Apr 1799 (MPA 18/65; 18/208).

74      vii.         FRANCIS, bpt 5/6 June 1755.

75        viii.            HUMPHREY, "but a child" when his father died in 1761.

63. ELDER/CAPTAIN HUMPHREY5 CHADBOURNE "JR" (41. William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick 20 June 1716; baptized 5 Aug 1716 (Berwick First Church; NEHGR 82:77); died Berwick 11 May 1798 (gs, 11 June in Young's Index; YP #2635); m Dover NH 1 Apr 1742 (Stackpole, 314) PHEBE E HOBBS, born Dover NH 19 Sep 1722 (Dover VR, 22), died Waterborough ME 6 Aug 1807, age 83, daughter of Capt James4 (Morris3 James2 Morris1) and Rebecca (Garland) Hobbs (Dover Historical Coll NH Hist Soc). The Garland name was verified by adoption papers in probate court, where James Hobbs took adoption of the children of Rebecca's brother John Garland. LND names the children of Jabez and Dorcus (Heard) (Wm H Jones, CFAA) Garland, including John and Rebecca, although it lists the possibility of Rebecca marrying someone else. The middle initial E appears for Phoebe in the Obed Foss Bible (see Simeon6).

            Humphrey was chosen deacon of the First Church of Berwick in 1757 (he was actually called deacon in 1754), and elder in 1761, but never was an ordained clergyman. He was usually referred to as Elder Humphrey and sometimes called Captain (Old Eliot vols). His 5 sons served in the Revolution (Emery). He was born in Berwick, and lived much of his later life on a place called the "Chick Farm" at N Berwick, described as being on the westerly side of the main road from N Berwick to S Berwick (leaf in an old family bible in possession of the Hays family; Little, Genealogy and Family History of Maine, 1349); his son Humphrey and his grandson Daniel also lived on this property. Part of the property he inherited from his uncle is described as 40 acres in Berwick Woods below the Little River and above Adam Goodwin's land and other property.

            His commission (original in Hays Family possession) for the invasion of Canada in 1758, a failed expedition to dislodge the French from the Lake Champlain area, appointed him a first lieutenant in the company of Ichabod Goodwin, Col Jedediah Preble commanding, and he was named captain in 1760 (American Officers in French and Indian War, NEHGS). There is a letter written by him to Major John Hill of Berwick in which he speaks of the capture of Isle aux Noix, on the Richelieu River between Lake Champlain and Montreal, 28 Aug 1760 (Special Colls, Hill Papers IV, NEHGS). Maine Historical Society has a nine page pamphlet reproducing the diary of his Lt. John Frost, on the successful Lake Champlain expedition.

            He was the executor of his uncle Humphrey's will (YP), by which he inherited a great amount of land, much of it being later sold or given to his sons. In 1763 he gave a christening basin to the church, presumably the Second Church of Berwick at Blackberry Hill (NEHGR 82:331-2). The basin was enumerated at Berwick in 1790 (Maine Families in 1790 2:38). The 1790 census lists Humphrey in Berwick with 2 males over 16 and 2 females. The Chase Charts of 1858 say that he moved to Cornish in his late years, verified by a deposition from him in which he stated he was of Francisborough (Cornish) (handwritten note by Libby in copy of Old Berwick). Upon his death, he held no real estate, but had seen that all of his family were well provided for. He and his wife are buried at Chadbourne Cemetery (gs), N Waterborough, on property that is now in the hands of descendant Earle Ahlquist, who was the major contributor to the compiling of the family of Paul 6, one of Humphrey's sons. This family often wrote the name as Chadbourn, without the e, and seemed to prefer it for several years until more modern records, but many of the branches used interchangable spelling in the records. Note the introduction of names of Paul, Simeon, Silas, and Levi, all new names to the Chadbourne family and not used in the Hobbs family.

Children, born Berwick (now S Berwick) (Stackpole, 314), baptized First Church (NEHGR 82:216, 312, 314, 318, 321, 324, 326, 328-9), surname CHADBOURNE:

64. JUDGE BENJAMIN5 CHADBOURNE (41. William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick 23 July 1718; baptized 15 Feb 1718/9; died Berwick 16 Mar 1799, age 82 (Young's Index, 4); married first Berwick 21 July 1742 (BVR, 113) SARAH HEARD, baptized Berwick 17 June 1722 (BVR, 212), died 23 Nov 1750 (ibid, 212), daughter of James 4 (Capt John 3 Ens James 2 John 1) and Mary (Roberts) Heard (BVR, 212); married second 10 Oct 1751 (BVR, 113) MARY CHESLEY, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Weeks) Chesley of Durham NH (BVR, 212; Leonard Weeks and Family of Greenland NH). He was commonly referred to as "Judge Benjamin."

            Benjamin probably served as captain in Col Jonathan Bagley's regiment at Louisburg 1745 and with Col Nathaniel Sparhawk in 1762 (American Officers in French and Indian War, NEHGS). He was called Colonel as well as Judge, was an attorney and counselor at law, a colonel in the militia, and a judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was representative from Berwick for fifteen years from 1756 to 1771, elected by the legislature to serve as Senator to the Massachusetts Legislature from York Co in 1780 (H-Saco & Biddeford, 290). He was a member of the Governor's Council and one of the founders of Berwick Academy, established in 1791. For the Academy he gave ten acres of land in the finest possible situation, and a sum of money besides, to begin the subscription.

            Judge Benjamin had purchased much of his brothers' and sisters' share of the family homestead and, therefore, owned much of the original acreage along the Salmon Falls River. In 1761 he purchased from his uncle Humphrey land in S Berwick. He lived there, in a humbler house built after 1720 at 30 Liberty St, courtesy of Howard Kaepplein while building his mansion house at Liberty and Vine Sts. In a letter dated 26 June 1768, Mary Chesley was admitted from Durham to South Berwick church (Libby's handwritten note in copy of Old Berwick). Benjamin raised a new house and barn 12 June 1770. In addition to his Berwick properties, he received liberal grants of land in Lebanon. He wrote about 1791 that "no house stands between here and Canada not built within my memory" (probably due to Indian attacks).

            Rev John Lord, in his historical address on Berwick Academy, refers to Judge Chadbourn as:

"a veritable patrician, with a great landed estate which his ancestors purchased from the Indians. He lived in a fine colonial residence, surrounded by noble elms. He sent John Hancock a large number of elms from his Berwick estate, to be planted on Boston Common, where some still exist."

Sarah Orne Jewett has made Judge Chadbourn one of the characters of her historical romance The Tory Lover, picturing him as an "old man of singular dignity and kindliness of look." These biographical details are from William M Emery's Chadbourne-Chadbourn Genealogy. The 1790 Census lists 2 males over 16, none under 16, and 2 females in Benjamin's household.

Child with Sarah, widow of Benjamin Libby (Libby, 39), surname LIBBY:

            ia.            MARY, b 27 Aug 1739; m JACOB SHOREY. Judge Benjamin supported Mary she was 7, at which time (Jan 1745/6 Court Session) he petitioned the court to put the child out to apprenticeship, and was discharged from further support (Court Sessions, YCGSJ Vol 3, No 4, Oct 1988). Child, surname Shorey: 1. Polly, m Jotham Hanscom. (Info from Joseph "Bob" Haswell, CFAA).

Children with first wife (BVR, 212), surname CHADBOURNE:

            i.            JAMES HEARD6, b Berwick 7 May 1743; d 27 June 1743 (Emery).

            ii.           MARTHA, b 26 Apr 1744; bpt 30 Apr 1744 (NEHGR 82:312); d 19 July 1834, age 89 (gs, Old Fields); m 1 Oct 1769 (NEGHR, 83:11) CAPT THOMAS LEIGH of Portsmouth, b Stone-leigh, Parish of Stonely, Warwick, England ca 1735, d 1815. Thomas and Martha are bur at Old Fields Cem (Leigh Family Recs, CFAA). Thomas came to this country prior to 1765 and was perhaps the builder of Leigh Pond for the water-powered mills at Lower Falls, S Berwick.

65. CAPTAIN JOSEPH 5 CHADBOURNE (41. William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick 1 June 1719 or 1720; baptized Berwick First Church 4 Sep 1720 (NEHGR); died Berwick 15 Jan 1808, age 89 (BVR, 287); married first Berwick 25 Nov 1747 (NEHGR 82:510) ABIGAIL HODSDON, born 16 Aug 1724, died 1760, daughter of Samuel and Prudence 3 (Scammon) Hodsdon (Scammon, Hodsdon Genealogy); married second 19 Nov 1762 (NEHGR 83:10) MARY (GRANT) HAMILTON, died by 1772 (Jones, H-Town of Lebanon, ME), daughter of Peter and Mary Grant of Berwick (Grant Genealogy); probably married third (Stackpole, 315) SALLY HODSON, died 31 July 1803; perhaps married fourth MARY _____ (wife Mary named in his 10 Apr 1806 will could have been a fourth wife or his second wife [YP #2660, 21:138]).

            Even in 1904, Emery seems to have had little information on this family, and little has been found since. They seem to have moved about a great deal. Some mentions in both ME and NH suggest that they were based from Berwick, but had ties in many other places, mainly Portsmouth NH. Joseph was called Captain because of his duty as an Indian scout in the French-Indian war. We know that Joseph inherited property from his uncle Humphrey in S Berwick; but it was sold to Judge Benjamin. He was probably the Joseph who received a proprietor's lot in Lebanon. According to the History of the Town of Lebanon, ME, Joseph, "came to Lebanon and settled on easterly side of the old highway, short distance northwesterly from Berwick line. Whether his settlement was made on one of the Home Lots in the 1st range or on a portion of the Cook Grant is not known. He was however among the earliest settlers. His first wife died in town at some time previous to the year 1772. Her disease was termed "putrid fever". Very little is known about him?he lived a while then moved away. Hasey's Diary in 1772 lists Mrs. (presumably Mary) Chadbourne's death of "putrid fever", as the first death in the town. She was carried at night to Berwick for burial after only a few day's illness. Joseph's son Scammon received his real estate in "Berwick". Joseph was listed in the Berwick 1790 Census with 1 male over 16 and 2 females. His will, probated 1808, lists his children as given below (YP #2660).

Children with first wife (Emery; YP #2660; all but Sarah in Stackpole, 315), born S Berwick, baptized 1st Berwick Church, surname CHADBOURNE:

            viii.         (possibly) SARAH, perhaps a dau of Joseph's third wife, Sally Hodson. Sarah is not mentioned in Joseph's will, but is in Hodsdon Family Genealogy. She could be the extra female mentioned in the 1790 census.

66. THOMAS5 CHADBOURNE (41. William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), baptized Berwick ME 28 Mar 1736 (NEHGR 82:98); died 7 Mar 1810, age 74 (gs, N Cem, Portsmouth NH); married 31 Jan 1758 (NEHGR 83:284) HANNAH LANG (Emery incorrectly called her Long), born Portsmouth NH 9 June 1737, baptized 26 June 1737 (NEHGR 81:444), died 9 Apr 1814, daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Trout) Lang of Portsmouth NH (The Lang Family of Portsmouth NH; Lang Family Genealogy, MHS).

            Thomas Chadbourne, smith of Portsmouth, and William Chadbourne, yeoman of Berwick, joined together on 14 June 1759 to sell their rights in the Fowling Marsh "alloted to our Father William Chadbourn, Decd" (YD 36;257-8). Thomas evidently disposed of land he inherited from his uncle in S Berwick in 1761 to widow Mehitable Odiorne and in 1768 to Olive Gibbs, widow of Robert. He bought his sister's, Sarah Ross Smith's, lot as well, and transferred it to his nephew Mark. In 1773 he received a grant of land in Conway NH and built the first frame house there; he also had a mill privilege there on Kesaugh Brook at the entrance to N Conway (Ruth B D Horne, Conway Through the Years & Whither). A scrap of doggerel was found on the inside cover of an old book showing the names of landmarks around Kearsarge.

"Thre men went up from dolluf town
And stop ol nite at Fosters Pockit
To make ye road bi InJune Hill
To git clere up to nort pigogit.
To Emris Kamp up Kesauch Brook
Wha Chadbun is beginnin-----------"(end)

The township of Hart's location in NH was granted him for his service in the French and Indian Wars. In 1792, Thomas teamed with Samuel Hill and Eliphalet Ladd in the first management of the Portsmouth Aqueduct in Portsmouth NH (Brighton, They Came To Fish).

            In the 1790 Census, the family was listed at Portsmouth with 1 male over 16, 2 sons under 16, and 5 females. Thomas' will, proved 30 Mar 1810, Rockingham County Probate #8246, names his wife and children as below, his property consisting of house and land situated on the north side of School St in Portsmouth (1810).

67. THOMAS5 CHADBOURNE (43. Joseph4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick ME 30 Apr 1743, baptized 1 May 1743 (NEHGR 82:214); died S Berwick 1 June 1822, age 79 (BVR, 543); married 22 Oct 1767 (VR, 114) MEHITABLE4 GOODWIN, baptized 30 Apr 1744, died 12 Sep 1833 age 89 (gs), daughter of James (#20.vii) and Margaret (Wallingford) Goodwin (NEHGR 82:216; 74:195).

            Thomas was a blacksmith by trade (Chase Charts, 1858; Stackpole; 1772 deed). He was taxed in S Berwick for 40 acres, 1 dwelling, 1 out-building (Book kept by Daniel Wood, 1816 York Co Property Owners: Maine State Archives; Maine Families In 1790, 1:39). He left his blacksmith tools to son James, who lived in part of his house.

            They lived on the hill north of Chadbourne's (now Yeatons) Mills (Chase Charts, 1858), probably the second homestead. There is evidence from a descendant's family records indicating that Mehitable was once "taken by the Indians." The 1790 Census of ME lists Thomas with 3 men over 16, 1 male under 16, and 3 women. His will, probated 23 Dec 1822 (YP #2703, 31:142), names wife Mehitable, daughter Mehitable, son John, son James & his wife Susanna, and their daughter Lydia. The family has a burial plot in the Old Fields Cemetery in S Berwick, 150 yards ENE of the entrance (MOCA 3:1784). Sarah C Clements, sister to John's wife Shuah, died 2 July 1844, age 79. She lived with them and is buried in their plot at Old Fields (see John #90).

68. JOHN5 CHADBOURNE (43. Joseph4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick 1 Apr 1744; died Albany Oct 1776 of mortal wounds received aboard a galley at Lake George (declaration of his son Joseph in application for pension, MHS, Zebulon Harmon's Papers); married First Church, Falmouth ME 24 July 1766 (Cumberland Co Commissioners Records) LUCY RIGGS, born Stroudwater 5 Mar 1751; baptized 1751 (King, Baptisms and Admissions from the Records of First Church In Falmouth, 95), died Oxford 4 May 1842 (Annals of Oxford) or 4 Oct 1843 (declaration of son in his application: ibid), daughter of Joseph and Ann (Barbour) Riggs. Lucy married second Falmouth 6 June 1777 (Cumberland Co Marriages, Sessions Records 1772-1783, MSA) Robert Hilborn, with whom she had nine more children. They moved from Portland to Minot about 1787, first settling in Hebron near the Minot line. The Hilborns are both buried in the Old Hilborn Cemetery, West Minot, Oxford Co, ME. Lucy was pensioned on Robert Hilborn's service (Revolutionary War Pension #W23293).

            John5 was not followed in Emery's work of 1904; however, Annals of Oxford, as well as the research of Fred Babson Chadbourne and R O Wilson, record this family in the manner listed below. The marriage of John and Lucy is the only Chadbourne-Riggs marriage record discovered at the Cumberland Co Commissioner's Office. John and Lucy reportedly had 5 children, but the Cumberland Co records were largely destroyed by fires, and available birth records do not cover this period. John of Falmouth is mentioned in 1771, as well as a record of his marriage. Recent research verifies Joseph as one of the children (see Joseph6). His declaration, made 17 Feb 1845, found at the Maine Historical Society among the pension papers of Zebulon Harmon, early pension agent of Portland, is herein repeated.

            "On this 17 day of Feb in year of our Lord 1845 appeared Joseph Chadbourne of Standish in the county of Cumberland, who before the Honarable Ware, judge of the United States for the District of Maine makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed July 4, 1836. That the declarant and Zebulon Chadbourne and Elizabeth Proctor are the only surviving children of John Chadbourne, deceased.

            That John Chadbourne was a soldier in the Revolution and served in the year 1775 eight months at least in Cambridge, and after the expration of the year's service he again enlisted for one year as this declarant believes and served in the Army at the Northward and that he was mortally wounded at Lake George in the month of October of that year and died of his wound at Albany.

            That subsequent to the death of his father, his mother married Robert Hilborn of Falmouth who was also a soldier and who drew a pension in his lifetime under the act of 1832 and that he died on the 8th day of January 1834, and that his mother survived him. He further declares that his mother received the benefit of the act of 1836 and drew a pension as he believes of $50.00 per annum from the time of said Robert Hilborn's death to the 4th day of May 1843 and that his mother died on the 4th day of May 1843 aforsaid and was a widow a the time of her death.

            He further declares that his father John Chadbourne was married to Lucy Riggs, his mother, before he entered the service in the Revolutionary War.

            This applicant further states that he is seventy six years of age and the oldest son of said John Chadbourne. He therefore claims in his own behalf and in the behalf of the other children before named the benefit of the Act of 1836"

Elijah Allen of Wells was appointed administrator (YP 11:88-9), "3 children being under seven years old," Bridget, Deborah, and James (ibid). Bridget Knight Chadbourne Allen, age 90, testified in Wells 24 Oct 1811 about members of the Shapleigh family.

70. JOHN5 CHADBOURNE (45. James4-3 Humphrey2 William1), born Kittery 23 Mar 1716/17 (KVR, 42); died Sanford 5 Apr 1789 (Boyle, EF Sanford-Springvale, 57); married Kittery (int) 12 Dec 1741 (KVR, 214) MARY SPINNEY, baptized Kittery 23 Sep 1723 (First CR, ts, MHS, 14), died 10 Jan 1789, daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Pomeroy) Spinney of Kittery.

            A blacksmith, John moved with his father in 1739 to Sanford, where he received a settler's lot (Sanford TR). He served with his brothers Joshua and James in the Indian Wars, in Capt Jonathan Bean's Co 1747-8, Capt William Gerrish's Co 1759, and as a captain on the Eastern Frontier in 1760. He was one of the owners of the Chadbourne Mills.

            In 1756 he united with the First Congregational Church of Wells. In July 1750 John and James Chadbourne signed a petition as inhabitants of Phillipstown for the need for a road for "our infant settlement" (York Co Sessions, Box 247, Oct 1747-1765). A house built in the 1750s, still standing at 33 Elm St, Sanford, was probably built by his generation. Said by local residents to be the oldest house in Sanford, it has been changed by an addition on Elm St, but one can still visualize the house from the rear, which appears to have been the original front of the house. We attribute this house to John as it was built by a Chadbourne, and John's brothers had lived elsewhere by this time, except for Joseph who moved to Cornish circa 1770.

Betty "of Sanford", attributed by Boyle, 1988, to this family, is actually Betsey, daughter of Joshua (#72) and Susannah Chadbourne (EF-Cornish). A Thomas, son of John, baptized First Church of Berwick 30 Dec 1753 is probably not of this family.

71. SAMUEL5 CHADBOURNE (45. James4-3 Humphrey2 William1), born Kittery 7 May 1718 (KVR, 42); died in the Army 27 Oct 1758; married Kittery (int) 6 Nov 1742 (ibid, 215) SARAH3 GOULD, born Kittery 15 July 1726 (KVR, 79), daughter of Benjamin2 (John1) and Rebecca3 (Furbish) Gould of Kittery or Joseph and Bethia (Furbish) Gould. Sarah married second 11 Oct 1764 (Parish Register, Queens Chapel, Portsmouth NH: ts, NEHGS, port 18) James Smith. (Info from MPA, Old Kittery, ME Genealogist & Recorder 1:110, KVR.)

            Samuel went in 1739 to Sanford, (lot 15, town records) but returned by 1748 to Kittery, where his widow remained with her father after Samuel's death. Samuel was baptized as an adult 28 Feb 1741/2 (2nd Church Kittery ts, MHS, 32). He served in Capt Peter Staples' Co in the Louisburg campaign in 1745, and in Col Jedediah Preble's Regt in the Lake George expedition of 1758.

Sarah bore a son out of wedlock 16 June 1762 (YCGSJ 6:1:11). On 20 Feb 1769, Sarah's father called her Sarah Smith in his will (MPA 13/433).

            There are many dates and persons in this record that make the authenticity of Emery's account doubtful. The will of Rebecca (Furbish) Gould names a granddaughter "Rebecca Hardison," who is undoubtedly the daughter of Sarah (Gould) Chadbourne (MPA 13/469).

Note: Mary was atypically young for her marriage and childbirths if she was born after 1742 and supposedly married 1756. So the following information may be misplaced. Mary's grandmother Rebecca (Furbish) Gould, in her 1781 will, leaves items to granddau "Mary Libby" (See Lucy & Rebecca below). Children, surname Hardison: 1.

            v.            BENJAMIN, b 2 Apr 1757; d of smallpox while a prisoner at Ticonderoga; supposedly m LUCY RIGGS of Portland, 5 ch (Emery--see previous discussion under John5). Believed to be an error in Emery, mistaking him for John5, repeated in Stackpole. He may also be confused with Benjamin Hardison, son of Mary above. No records of him or his children have come to light.

72. JOSHUA5 CHADBOURNE (45. James4-3 Humphrey2 William1), born Kittery ME 25 June 1729 (KVR, 42); died Cornish circa 1805; married 27 Dec 1750 SUSANNA SPINNEY.

            They lived in Phillipstown ME when two daughters were baptized in Wells 11 Mar 1756 (NEGHR 73:314). Joshua removed to Cornish ME after 1771 when he was still on the Sanford ME tax lists. He was a sentinel in the Indian Wars with his brother John. He is buried in the Cemetery in the Fields, near High Hill Rd, Cornish, between sons William and Joseph.
