p2: "First Generation.
I. Dea. Samuel Chapin came with his family to reside in Springfield in 1642. Itwould rather appear that he resided in this country considerable time, perhaps eight or ten years before he came to Springfield, and perhaps the greater part of his children were born in this country, but no record has been found of the birthof but one- the youngest, and we do not find any record of but one of his sons taking the freeman's oath. David, his son, was made a freeman in Springfield, 5th day 2d month, 1649. He is supposed to be the progenitor of all who bear the name inthis country, and I have not found one of the name who could trace their lineage to any other source...Samuel Chapin died Nov. 11, 1675, age not known. His wife's name was Cisily, maiden name not known [Penney]. Mrs Cisily Chapin died Feb. 8,1683, age not known. Children-

Three years later 20 Nov 1646, when he was well settled, he married Catharine Chapin. Died 8 Nov 1654, 4 Children, p41."
p41: "See `Chapin Genealogy' by G W Chapin. 2nd Mar 31 Jul 1655. 3rd Mar 28 Dec 1664. Four children from each marriage. There was not much time lost in mourning of widowhood, but times were hard for a widow with little children and men at this time outnumbered the women in the colonies, and there was no lack there was no lack of suitors for single women. Died 4 Feb1712, Springfield."
