| Notes for Capt., Elder Humphrey CHADBOURNE | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Humphrey Chadbourne b. 19* June 1716; married, 1 April 1742, Phebe Hobbs, who died in Waterboro, Me., 6 Aug. 1807, aged 85. He died at Cornish, Me., 11 May 1798. Both were buried at North Waterboro. Children 1742-66: Humphrey, Elizabeth, Paul, Simeon, Silas, Levi, Phebe, William, Thomas, Sarah, James. [ref 33:314] *conflicting date - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ELDER/CAPTAIN HUMPHREY 5 CHADBOURNE "JR" (William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick 20 June 1716; baptized 5 Aug 1716 (Berwick First Church; NEHGR 82:77); died Berwick 11 May 1798 (gs, 11 June in Young's Index; YP #2635); m Dover NH 1 Apr 1742 (Stackpole, 314) PHEBE E. HOBBS. Humphrey was chosen deacon of the First Church of Berwick in 1757 (he was actually called deacon in 1754), and elder in 1761, but never was an ordained clergyman. He was usually referred to as Elder Humphrey and sometimes called Captain (Old Eliot vols). His 5 sons served in the Revolution (Emery). He was born in Berwick, and lived much of his later life on a place called the "Chick Farm" at N Berwick, described as being on the westerly side of the main road from N Berwick to S Berwick (leaf in an old family bible in possession of the Hays family; Little, Genealogy and Family History of Maine, 1349); his son Humphrey and his grandson Daniel also lived on this property. Part of the property he inherited from his uncle is described as 40 acres in Berwick Woods below the Little River and above Adam Goodwin's land and other property. His commission (original in Hays Family possession) for the invasion of Canada in 1758, a failed expedition to dislodge the French from the Lake Champlain area, appointed him a first lieutenant in the company of Ichabod Goodwin, Col Jedediah Preble commanding, and he was named captain in 1760 (American Officers in French and Indian War, NEHGS). There is a letter written by him to Major John Hill of Berwick in which he speaks of the capture of Isle aux Noix, on the Richelieu River between Lake Champlain and Montreal, 28 Aug 1760 (Special Colls, Hill Papers IV, NEHGS). Maine Historical Society has a nine page pamphlet reproducing the diary of his Lt. John Frost, on the successful Lake Champlain expedition. He was the executor of his uncle Humphrey's will (YP), by which he inherited a great amount of land, much of it being later sold or given to his sons. In 1763 he gave a christening basin to the church, presumably the Second Church of Berwick at Blackberry Hill (NEHGR 82:331-2). The basin was enumerated at Berwick in 1790 (Maine Families in 1790 2:38). The 1790 census lists Humphrey in Berwick with 2 males over 16 and 2 females. The Chase Charts of 1858 say that he moved to Cornish in his late years, verified by a deposition from him in which he stated he was of Francisborough (Cornish) (handwritten note by Libby in copy of Old Berwick). Upon his death, he held no real estate, but had seen that all of his family were well provided for. He and his wife are buried at Chadbourne Cemetery (gs), N Waterborough, on property that is now in the hands of descendant Earle Ahlquist. This family often wrote the name as Chadbourn, without the e, and seemed to prefer it for several years until more modern records, but many of the branches used interchangable spelling in the records. Note the introduction of names of Paul, Simeon, Silas, and Levi, all new names to the Chadbourne family and not used in the Hobbs family. Children, born Berwick (now S Berwick) (Stackpole, 314), baptized First Church (NEHGR 82:216, 312, 314, 318, 321, 324, 326, 328-9), surname CHADBOURNE: son, Humphrey, Elizabeth, Paul, Simeon, Silas, Thomas, Sarah, Levi, Phebe, William, James.

| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - daughter of Capt. James HOBBS and Rebecca GARLAND - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PHEBE E. HOBBS, born Dover NH 19 Sep 1722 (Dover VR, 22), died Waterborough ME 6 Aug 1807, age 83, daughter of Capt James 4 (Morris 3 James 2 Morris 1) and Rebecca (Garland) Hobbs (Dover Historical Coll NH Hist Soc). The Garland name was verified by adoption papers in probate court, where James Hobbs took adoption of the children of Rebecca's brother John Garland. LND names the children of Jabez and Dorcus (Heard) (Wm H Jones, CFAA) Garland, including John and Rebecca, although it lists the possibility of Rebecca marrying someone else. The middle initial E appears for Phoebe in the Obed Foss Bible.
