    Notes:

    Name:
    Amos Chaffee was baptized in the First Congregational Church of Woodstock, October 7, 1744. He was stout, broad-shouldered, five feet, ten inches in height, with a sandy complexion and blue eyes. He was a farmer. A list of those occupying seats in the Congregational church in Wilbraham dated July 3, 1770, shows that Amos Chaffee and his wife, with seven other persons, occupied pew number seventeen. He was chosen Deer Reeve in Wilbraham, march 15, 1774, and July 21, 1774, sold to Simeon, his brother, sixty-eight acres of land in that place for L20. This year also his signature is found attached to the agreement not to buy English-made goods, signed by one hundred and twenty-five men of South Wilbraham. August 5, 1775, he bought of Abner Badger land in Wilbraham for L120, and August 12, 1776, he sold to the same man land there for L100.
    He served in the Revolution as follows:

    "Chaffee, Amos. Private, Capt. Daniel Cadwell's co. Col. Timothy Robinson's detachment of Hampshire Co. militia; enlisted Dec. 25, 1776; discharged April 2, 1777; service, 3 mos. 9 days at Ticonderoga; enlistment to expire March 25, 1777; roll dated Springfield." (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution.)

    The powder horn and gun which Amos Chaffee carried in the war are preserved by his descendants. The former is inscribed, "Amos Chaffee's Horn, made at Woodstock, Conn. April 17, 1761." On it is traced a map of North and South America.

    February 23, 1778, he bought sixty acres of land in Stafford, to which place he removed the following spring. may 31, 1779, he added to this purchase seventy acres more. December 13, 1779, he took the oath in Stafford. A list of the members of the Second Congregational church, dated March 13, 1791, contains the name of Amos Chaffee. In 1797 he moved with his family to Athens, Vt. He and his wife were granted letters to the church there August 19, 1798. In 1806 they moved to Rochester, where they spent the remainder of their lives.
