  • Name Joel CHAFFE  [1
    • ...May 26, 1742, Joel Chaffe and others petitioned the General Court in Boston (Woodstock at this time being part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony) to be made a separate town with religious privileges, the petitioners living very distant from the First congregational Church in Woodstock and that church being so small that it could not accommodate all those in the parish. Joel Chaffe lived four and a quarter miles from this church. December 11, 1742, Joel sold to Samuel Barnes of Barrington, for L75,seven acres and twenty rods of land in Woodstock. February 9, 1744-5, he sold to his father, for L287, fifty acres of land in the south half of Woodstock, with a dwelling house on it. February 16, 1744-5, he sold to Thomas Allen for L366, another piece of land there. This was his last land transaction, as he died the following summer. His brother Joseph, being appointed October 21, 1745, as administrator of his estate, sold the entire real estate, consisting of seventy-five acres of land, to their brother, John, April 1, 1747. The children received their father's share in their grandfather's estate, August 29, 1754. The estate of their mother was divided among the children in Woodstock, February 2, 1757. Joel Chaffe is thought to have been buried in Woodstock.
