General Notes: Husband - John Chadwick

---

The Chadwick family is of English origin and of ancient record in the Old World, the principal line dating back a thousand years. William, Thomas and John have been favorite names in the family, as shown by its annals as far back as the Conquest. The name was often pronounced Shaddock, and sometimes written that way by those who bore it. Charles and John Chadwick (supposedly brothers), the first of the name in America, came over in 1630, probably in Winthrop's fleet, and the former became an influential citizen of Watertown, MA. He married and had a son John; his brother John also had a son John, but there is nothing to show that either was the John with whom the line of the Franklin, PA, Chadwicks begins. One Thomas Chadwick had sons, but nothing is known of him except that he was a nephew of Charles (who mentions him in his will) and of the second generation in America.
There were Chadwicks at an early day in New Jersey, where Samuel Chadwick is of record as taking the oath of allegiance in 1668.

John Chadwick, a native of Watertown, MA, is said by Savage to have been “prob­ably a nephew of Charles Chadwick of Watertown,” but it is not definitely known who his parents were. He had eight children by his wife Sarah, as shown by his will, which was made Jan. 31, 1711, and probated March 15th of that year. One of his sons was named John. [CAB, 846]
