Chadbourne
homesite 1643-1690: excavation progress
A marvelous
description and pictures of the home (on land bought by the Indian
Rowles in 1643) occupied at times by the first three generations
of Chadbournes in America. This site is made available compliments
of chief archaelogist Emerson Baker who leads a team of archaelogists
each mid-August in South Berwick, Maine. Artifacts recovered are
on display at the Counting House, museum of the Old Berwick Historical
Society, on Route 4 in South Berwick, ME within a stone's throw
of the bridge from Maine to NH.

homesite 1643-1690: excavation progress illustrated, with historical
explanation
Calm
before Indian raid + strange Chadburns ca. 1690 (2 parodies)
A journal
by Lucy (Treworgye) Chadbourne (a censor has now required us to
say it's just parody) helps explain items being unearthed - written
by Bradley Fletcher, a teacher of history in South Berwick, ME,
one the close group of excavators who gather each summer to be the
first to find new artifacts. NEW for 2000 at Dr. "Tad"
Baker's Salem College website page (in same section as Lucy's theorized
journal, are tongue-in-cheek descriptions of some STRANGE and WONDEROUS
Chadbournes whom Brad Fletcher saw there in one of his many 1600s
dreams (in color . . . beta-type dreams - WAY ahead of his time!)

The
small map included here is part of one found in the British Museum,
from the 1600s, showing the site now being excavated, the large
house between the two rivers, of which the one to the West is between
NH and Maine, and the one to the right is a tributary formerly called
Chadbourne's, but now Great Works River, for the site where two
important mills were built, including the earliest documented, water-driven
sawmill in New England.

Old
Berwick Historical Society, Maine
Old
Berwick Historical Society, located in South Berwick on Route 4
by the river between Maine and NH, is a rich resource for those
with ancestry in the Berwick area. Formerly part of Kittery, the
original Town of Berwick included the present towns of Berwick,
North Berwick and South Berwick, each of are represented here. While
this was not an advanced website when first seen, it will give background
and contacts. It is this Society which has enabled the extensive
excavations of the earliest known Chadbourne homesite (Humphrey
2 and 3). When their museum is open, the current major display includes
many of the over 15,000 artifacts so far collected as described

this very active Society has regular programs which may not be listed

Shapleigh
Family Association
All
descendants of Humphrey 2 Chadbourne of Berwick, Maine, have Shapleigh
ancestry from their mother Lucy Treworgye, daughter of James and
Katherine (Shapleigh) Treworgye. Her father was merchant verturer
Alexander Shapleigh (whose wife the CFA considers unknown or unproven.
See pages xix - xxiv in our 1994 book, under "Allied Families
-Our Mother's Other Lives"). Excepting descendants of Patience
2 (Chadbourne) Spencer, which includes the descendants of Daniel
Goodwin, well over 99% of Chadbourne descendants also Shapleighs.

Some
descendants of Wm.1 Chadbourne, ref: Steve Skoropowski
Steve
Skoropowski, a Chadbourne descendant, has created web pages for
much of his ancestry, including a series starting with the site
below, Descendants of William Chadbourne, which relies heavily but
not exclusively on the Chadbourne Family Association (CFA)'s 1994
book. Steve carries one or more Chadbourne-descent lines up to 13
generations, showing correctly under Generation 1: William Chadbourne
b. 1582 in Tamworth (NOT Winchcombe), England, plus many generations
of Chadbourne descendants whose non-Chadbourne surnames include
SPENCER (from Gen. 2's Patience Chadbourne m. Thomas Spencer) and
GOODWIN (from Gen. 3's Margaret Spencer m. Daniel Goodwin). His
entries will be seen when you click on the site underlined below,
but please read these NOTES first:
Some
words like "estimated" and "approximately" may
have been omitted from Steve's site that are in the CFA's book:
The Chadbourne Family in America: A Genealogy (see separate section
above), out of print. (To be added to the waiting list for either
a CD-ROM version or possible further print copies, write or e-mail
this reviewer, Ted Chadbourne, whose addresses are elsewhere on
the homepage of this CFA website. To the extent Steve's data includes
the phrase "born Bef." you may find that his logical expression
of a known baptism date, but that should not be assumed without
checking the book.
GENERATION
NUMBERS are correct for the Chadbourne name as seen in the generation
number heading (though not on every page). Because this site is
evolving while interacting with Family Tree Maker software, check
that generation number is correct within the (patrilineal string).
If that contains a William 1 in superscript, generation numbers
are correct for Chadbourne descent. (If you later added the immigrant
William's parents, Robert Chadbourne and Margaret DOOLEY, who never
came to America, they should be generation A, and _his_ parents
if ever proven, should be generation B in relation to immigrant
Wm. 1. (That caution because some software lacks ability to show
the immigrant generation as 1 when the database starts with a generation
earlier or later.
The
generation numbers on Steve's site are the same as the Chadbourne
books, applying to which Chadbourne generation in America, it being
customary for any family's generation numbers to be based on THEIR
eldest immigrant being followed. Generation numbers seen at Steve's
site (and in Chadbourne books) for non-Chadbourne names, eg, Daniel
Goodwin [Jr.] and Bial Hamilton [Jr.] aren't the numbers that would
be used in those families own genealogies since they indicate the
generation # of Chadbourne descent, a higher number that in a line
of fathers only.
If
you copy or print out from this file, but add "Sr." or
"Jr" (generally not seen here), know that such titles
may not have been used by those folks, or may have changed after
the older man died.
To
the extent Steve's data is copied or further distributed it's important
(since good genealogy is an ongoing investigation) to CITE YOUR
SOURCE. It was copied from from Steve's web page, unless you got
it directly from the Chadbourne book (1994, not 1904 nor 1989 draft)
or elsewhere. With a web site, one should also add the DATE the
source was copied, as an evolving source is a moving target. A citation
to the source below may be "from Steve Skoropowski's website
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/k/o/steve--skoropowski/GENE8-0001.html
(date) citing 1994 edition of The Chadbourne Family: A Genealogy
compiled by Elaine Bacon for the Chadbourne Family Association."
For subsequent cites, a short-form citation could be "Skoropowski
FTM website GENE8-0001 (date copied)" since the full name appears
above. (Note that the final two digits in Steve's web filename indicate
Chadbourne generation number. These will change as seen in a source
(HTML) window at bottom? of your screen as one moves between generations.
William
1 came to America in 1634; also in the early 1630s his three surviving
children arrived (the 2 seen below indicates 2nd generation in America:
Humphrey 2 (from whom all descendants of Chadbourne surname); William
2 (who had one daughter) and one sister Patience 2 who married THOMAS
1 SPENCER. The Spencers have many descendants named Spencer, Goodwin,
and other surnames. Lines may be followed at Steve's site which
show the relationships to men younger than (eg Dyer, Guptil, Hodgson,
Locke, and Tarbox) such as Enoch Chase, b. 1792, himself an early
Chadbourne genealogist.
You
may see lines here not in the Chadbourne book if they relate to
Steve's ancestry, as the CFA's book could only carry females a few
generations. Steve's sources on some of these are listed, so proper
citation is to his website and after that his citation of the source
he listed. To get further back, viewing the Chadbourne book will
often show an earlier source, such as Vital Records (VR)
While
the text at this site has not yet been reviewed by the CFA, Steve
has our book, much interest, and has placed this in a very convenient
format. We appreciate his work!
Steve's
chart may be seen by clicking on the link below. To trace a line
of descent at his site, click an underlined number in the left margin.
To find the prior generation, remember ID# of your subject, scroll
up and click on header item "Previous Page" which is centered
over the chart's title. then find that number in the left margin.
If using Windows command "Edit, Find" from top left of
screen, put a period after a number you enter. The cursor will jump
directly to that number, shown now as a child whose parents are
in the text directly above.

This may be the BEST SOURCE FOR PARTIAL EXTRACTION, having sources
integrated in parentheses after each entry. (An alternative form
is just below.)
Advanced
users with source repositories (one entry per book title) will find
part or all of THIS version of same data uses superscripts leading
to ENDNOTES which show sources. Check whether this will give the
correct numbers if copied into your own database. It may be less
suitable for partial extraction, or for plain-text e-mails sent
to most users of AOL or Juno.
