SAMUEL (Robert 1) b. in Littleton, Mass., May 3, 1732; d. in Holden, Nov. 20, 1811. He had a noteworthy record in the French and Indian War, seeing some very hard service. He enlisted first Sept. 15, 1755, and served until Dec. 16, 13 weeks and 2 days — and allowed for 14 days' travel from Albany to Charlestown.

He was later a private in Capt. Thomas Cheever's Co., in the expedition against Crown Point ; marched to Lake George, and continued in service until the army disbanded. He was taken sick at Fort Edward, and had to hire a horse and man to bring him home, and had the cost of nursing; petitioned the Governor and House of Representatives for an allowance, and on Feb. 24, 1756, was given £6, 14s, 4d. On his journey home, when he reached Sheffield, his father, Robert Chaffin, met him, and nursed him for six weeks, for which he charged £2, 13, 4, which is included in the above bill.

Samuel was on the muster roll as sergeant in Capt. Seth Blodgett's Co., Col. Wm. Battle's regt., and marched for the relief of Fort William Henry, Aug. 16, 1757; marched from Lexington to Springfield, 165 miles, time 12 days.

Samuel was also a Revolutionary soldier. Retaining the rank of sergeant, which he earned in the F. and I. War by honorable service, he enlisted on the first opportunity, serving in Maj. Paul Raymond's Co. in the First Worcester regt. ; marching "on the alarm" to Cambridge, April 19, 1775 ; service 81/2 days.

Later, although over fifty-nine years old, he enlisted Aug. 9, 1781, in Capt. Jonathan Sibley's Co., Col. Luke Drury's regt., serving as sergeant. He arrived in camp Aug. 22, and was discharged Nov. 21, 1781, service 3 mos., 23 days, travel included — residence Rutland, Mass., for which town he enlisted for three years.

Lucy Darby was born ¹ on 9 Mar 1737. She died ¹ on 14 Feb 1822. Lucy married ¹ Samuel Chaffin on 28 Dec 1768.

Robert Chaffin ¹ was born ² about 1695 in Mere, Wiltshire, England. He died ^{2, 3} on 4 Nov 1745 in Littleton, MiddleSex County, Massachusetts. Robert married ¹ Abigail Davis ¹ on 15 Apr 1719 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

While the exact date of birth and of death of Robert is not known, there is ground for reasonable conjecture as to the time when these important events occurred. He emerges from his obscurity and presents himself first to his descendants when he leads his bride, Abigail Davis, not to the altar, but to the lawyer's office, where Justice Minot hears their marriage vows and pronounces them " husband and wife." The date of this union is April 15, 1719, and the place the old and interesting town of Concord, Mass. Abigail was twenty years old at that date, and the probability is that Robert was a little older, and that he was, therefore, born about 1695. We can be a little more definite as to the date of his death. The inventory of his estate was ordered on Feb. 15, 1745, so that there is little doubt that he died towards the end of 1744.

Dr. Philip Reed was born in 1623 in London, England. He died on 10 May 1696 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Philip married Abigail Rice in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

DR. PHILIP READ OF CONCORD. [Read List, No. 23.] HE seems to have been one of the most noted physicians of his time in the vicinity of Boston; residing at different places, but finally settled in Concord, where he died. He was not “a son of EL.TAS,” as the “History of the Read Family,” pub shed i86r, states. He seems to have been a typical English doctor of the old school, impetuous, choleric, and always in the public eye. At one time called into Court and put in prison for blasphemy, in which by the way he made the excuse of many a man, that his mother-in-law, who in fact was only too good to him, was to be blamed for it! At another time he had trouble in connection with witchcraft affairs. He was later put in prison for assaulting a man on the King’s highway, with his rapier, and wounding him. At other times unpaid debts brought him woes. Take it altogether he must have been an original character, and led an eventful life. If all the records concerning him were printed under the caption of “Doctor Philip Read and his Troubles,” they would make an interesting story. He left many descendants, but so far as the writer remembers, no one of them has joined our Reade Association. What has become of them? We would be glad to hear from them, [Reade Historical and Genealogical Association 1908]

Abigail Rice [Parents] was born about 1645 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. She died on 16 Apr 1709 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Abigail married Dr. Philip Reed in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

Richard John [Parents] ¹ was born ^{2, 3, 4} on 29 Apr 1805 in England. He was christened ^{2, 5} on 19 May 1805 in St. Mary, Truro, Cornwall, England.

A Richard John and wife, Martha, had a son Charles Baptized 7 Dec 1843 in Christ Church, Southwark, Surrey, England.

BURIAL: Also shown as Buried Southwark, Surrey, England, United Kingdom.

Martha Rowe ^{1, 2} was born ^{1, 3} about 1805 in Ireland. She died ⁴ in 1847. She was buried ⁵ on 22 Oct 1847 in St George The Martyr, Southwark, England. Martha married ^{2, 6} Richard John ² on 14 Mar 1826 in St. Clement, Cornwall, England.

A witnes on her mariage document is Betsy ROWE. This is likely a sidter or Martha's mother. A John ROWE married an Elizabeth CORNISH on 28 Oct 1804 in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. On 22 Aug 1806 John and Elizabeth had Martha Cornish Rowe, baptized on 10 Sep 1806 in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. I suspect that John and Elizabeth were this Martha Rowe's parents.

She is called "Martha Rowe John" on death cetificate.
