General Notes: Husband - Elder John Chipman

---

The founder of this family in America, he was born in England, various accounts being given of the date and place of his birth, residence, and emigration; the accepted account, however, is that he was the only son of John Chipman, born near Dorchester, England, about 1621. Another account says that he was born at Barnstable, England, in 1614, whence he came to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1630. Again it is said that he came from Bryans-Piddle, near Dorchester, in the "Friendship," in 1631; his father died and he lived with his uncle, Mr. Christopher Derby. Still another account declares that he came to New England in 1633 with Mr. Richard, son of Mr. Christopher Derby, as his servant, and resided some years at Plymouth, Massachusetts, where he was apprenticed and learned carpentering, it appearing in his will that this was his trade. He was in Barnstable in 1649, and was selectman and representative in 1663-66; in 1668-69 was justice of the peace. He was member of the council of war, 1667. It is further recorded that April 14, 1670, John Chipman and Henry Cobb were chosen and ordained ruling elders of the church at Barnstable.
