Biography

Cicely Penny was born in Paignton, Devonshire, England and baptized February 21, 1601 in Paignton, Devonshire, England.[1] In those days children were usually baptized shortly after birth, but sometimes a few weeks,[2] which could put her birth date as early as February 7, 1601. She was the child of Henry Penny and his wife Jane Dabinott [3] Henry Penny was a baker. He died at Paignton, Devon County, England between April 6, 1630 and May 18, 1630.[4] His wife Jane survived him. Samuel Chapin was one of four persons who took the inventory of Henry Penny's estate on May 18, 1630[4] in which he speaks of "Cicely Chapin, my daughter." In extracts from the Will of Henry Penny dated April 6, 1630, he states "Cicely Chapin, my daughter is given my great pan."[5]

Marriage

Cicely Penny married Samuel Chapin on February 9, 1623 at The Church of St. John the Baptist in Paignton, Devonshire, England (see photographs of church with detail at beginning of the book by Gilbert Warren Chapin, The Chapin Book of Genealogical Data.)[5][1][4][3]

Husband

Samuel Chapin, husband of Cecily Penny Chapin was baptized October 8, 1598[3] in Paignton, Devonshire, England.[6] His parents were John Chapin and his wife Phillipe Easton.[4][1]

Immigration to New England

Cecily Chapin came to New England with her husband, Samuel Chapin in about 1638.[6] With them they brought five children. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register states that he came about 1638 and "brought with him from England a wife named Cicely and several children, Henry, Josiah, David, Catherine, and Sarah."[4][7]

It is also highly possible that Samuel Chapin's father, John came with the family group.[5] "On a loose paper probably of the date somewhere between 1636 and 1640 entitled 'A Note of ye Estates and Persons of the Inhabitants of Rocksbury,' there appears the following item:

Acres. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Persons and estates.
24. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Samuel Chapin.. . . . . . . .8 [torn].[8]

Howard Millar Chapin on page 13 of his book Life of Deacon Samuel Chapin of Springfield, says, "It is not clear to what the eight refers, but it is probably to the valuation of property." Gilbert however, on page XII says, "Samuel Chapin came to New England probably with his father and family in 1635 or earlier. A record at Roxbury, of early but unknown date shows that he possessed 24 acres of land there, and had eight persons in his family, himself, wife, father and five children.[5]

The Chapins probably set sail in the summer, when the passage was mild, [9] and more than likely landed in Boston which was the chief port of New England.

Roxbury Residency

Howard Millar Chapin in his book about the Chapins, states "Chapins went immediately to Roxbury in 1635, and the absence of any earlier record in Roxbury is easily accounted for by the meagerness of the earlier records." The records of 1638-1640 state that he owned 24 acres of land. In 1641 a house was acquired.[1] Roxbury was founded in 1630 by William Pynchon. In 1635 it was a small village of from twenty to thirty families, most from the west of England. Since the Chapins were from the same geographical location in England[5] this may be the reason for their settling in this community. The Chapin book by Howard Millar Chapin says that the houses at the time were probably small square thatched log cabins with one or at best two rooms, and a fireplace.[9] So I deduce this would have been the type of dwelling where Cicely kept house; raising their children, preparing meals, and other general chores of the time.

Cecily Chapin, along with her husband, appears on the church records as members of the first church of Roxbury. This church was founded in 1632, and is commonly called John Eliot's church. Thomas Weld was her pastor and John Eliot, the Apostle, was the church teacher. The church building, "Meeting House," as it was called had been built the summer of 1632. It was, according to Memorial History of Boston, edited by Justin Winsor, "a rude and unbeautiful structure with a thatched roof, destitute of shingles or plaster, without gallery, pew or spire." The Chapins lived close to the church for in 1635 there was an act passed which ordered all the inhabitants to live within one-half mile of the church to better protect themselves from the Indians. A few years later, the townspeople would be thankful for this ruling, since the Pequot war broke out during the time the Chapins lived in Roxbury. The Pequots lost the war and moved south, thus making it possible to safely settle in Western New England. Cecily and Samuel, along with their family removed themselves from Roxbury and went west between October 15, 1642 and January 1642. There were two ways to travel west in those days, either overland on foot or by water. It is probable they went via Indian trails through Woodstock in Connecticut, which was a sort of trail center.[10]

Springfield Residency

They arrived at the settlement called Agawam in the winter of 1642. [1] William Pynchon had led a party of about a dozen families to the Connecticut river, where he founded this settlement in 1636. Later the name of the settlement was changed to "Springfield," named after Pynchon's home in England.[10]

Their first home lot was at the corner of the present Main and Pynchon Streets As in Roxbury Cecily's husband was primarily a farmer, however, he was also very active in the community government and in the church. He was very influential in the early public life of Springfield and was one of the first five men (called Selectmen) who watched over morals, health and public measures.[5] During his lifetime he held many public offices and by 1649 he was a deacon of the church in Springfield.[11]

The Meeting House in Springfield seems to have been much more elaborate than at Roxbury. It cost eighty pounds (about $400.00) and was a frame building forty feet long by twenty-five wide. It had four windows, and two towers, one for the bell and the other for a watch tower. It was completed in March 1646.[12] Deacon Chapin and the other selectmen were responsible for the important duty of the seating arrangement at the Meeting House. They were to be seated in order of their social importance. It is interesting to note that "Goodwife Chapin is to sitt in the Seate alonge with Mrs. Glover, and Mrs. Hollyock." Mrs. Glover was the minister's wife and therefore the leading lady, and Mrs. Hollyock was the daughter of William Pynchon, the founder of the town of Springfield.[5][13]

According to the town records of 1647, it was a hard year. There were floods in the spring, caterpillars in the summer, and sickness in the fall. Wolves were a nuisance so a bounty was offered for every dead one. Swine caused trouble and damage by running loose through the village. This was the life day-to-day of Cecily Chapin. In 1648, however more difficult disturbances broke out when Hugh Parsons and his wife Mary were accused of witchcraft. They were brought to trial and convicted in 1650. Mary died in prison and Hugh escaped and left the country. Further, William Pynchon was convicted of heresy. He was terminated of his office as Magistrate of Springfield and in 1652, with his son-in-law Henry Smith, and the minister Mr. Moxon, returned to England. Turbulent times, it seems. Deacon Samuel Chapin was one of three men who were appointed Commissioners for the town of Springfield, with the same full power and authority as the office of Magistrate.[14]

In 1662, Hampshire County was established with Springfield as its capital. Cecily's husband, Samuel Chapin, became Commissioner again in this same year.[5]

By 1664 Cecily and her husband were living with their son Japhet in Chicopee.[5]

On the 11 of October 1669, Samuel Chapin and his wife Cicely deed 30 acres of land to John Sackett of Northampton and they both acknowledged the deed the same day, October 11.[15]

King Philip's War

For forty years the inhabitants of Springfield lived side-by-side with the Indians, so when King Philip's War broke out in 1675, Springfield inhabitants were not alarmed and did not feel threatened. They did not believe the Indians who surrounded their settlement would join King Philip, as it turned out, the Springfield Indians were pretending friendship and they joined the hostiles on the night of August 24 when the English, in pursuit, had a fight with them, loosing nine of their men. On September 26, 1675, the Indians burned some houses in Springfield that were west of the river. Then on October 5, 1675, the Indians attacked again and destroyed the town. About thirty houses were burned, which was almost half of the town.[16] The war (King Philip's War) is named after the recognized leader of the Indians. His Indian name was Metacom or Pometacom or Metacomet; but the English called him Philip. The cause of the war seems to be the fact that so much of the Indian territory had been purchased, or otherwise acquired, by the Colonists during the time when Philip's father was leader and also sold by Philip himself, not leaving enough land for hunting, fishing, and raising corn.[17] The first year many towns were burned and destroyed but by the end of the conflict in 1678 the Indians were almost completely destroyed. Destroyed also was the colony's economy and its population. Dead were one-tenth of all Colonial men of military age.[18] The subject of this biography, Cicely Chapin, lived and suffered through and beyond this war as a widow. Her husband had died just a short time after the burning of Springfield in November 1675.

Death and Burial

Samuel Chapin died November 11, 1675. Cecily Chapin lived beyond her husband by eight years as it is recorded, "Ciseley Chapin the widow of Deacon Samll Chapin was sicke and dyed Febr. 8, 1682"[19] in Springfield, Massachusetts[7][5] She, along with her husband, was buried in the Old Burying Ground in Springfield, Massachusetts. To make room for the railroad the cemetery was eliminated in 1849. A total of 2,404 bodies and 517 markers were removed to the Springfield Cemetery. There is no evidence that the Chapins were among the 2,404 bodies remains that were transferred. Dr. Joseph C. Pynchon, who then had charge of the removal of the Pynchon bodies, said thirty-six years later: "...The few remains were gathered, which soon crumbled to dust on exposure to the air, and with the surrounding earth, deposited in the new cemetery."[20]A Cenotaph marker was placed in their honor and in honor of all those for whom no record existed.[21][3] A photo of the Cenotaph can be found at Find A Grave, Memorial # 112948046

Her Will and Inventory

Note, Cicely Chapin probably could not write. She made her mark instead of signing her name to her will.[22]

Will and Inventory of Estate of Cicely Chapin

I am finishing the biography for the profile Cicely Penny-74. Is there any reason to keep the sources I have listed under "See Also?" They are sources listed prior to the start of my work. I found the book "Record of the Descendants of Simon Henry and Rhoda Parsons" in Ancestry.com, perused it, and found no reference to Cicely Chapin. I will delete both of these references in 3 days, unless someone gives me reason not to delete. Thank you.
