| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JAMES 6 CHADBOURNE (James 5-4-3 Humphrey 2 William 1), baptized First Church Wells 11 Feb 1756 or as an adult 12 Oct 1780; died on the Ohio River Spring 1794; married (int) 9 Oct 1784 MARTHA ABBOTT, died on the Ohio River near Pittsburgh Winter 1793 (H-Warren Co). He was listed as head of house in the 1790 census with 1 male under 16 and 3 females. In 1793 they left Boston with Abbott relatives headed for Cincinnati. They stocked up for the trip in Philadelphia, then hauled everything on wagons to Brownstown PA, where they bought a flat boat for the river trip. At Pittsburgh the river froze over. Martha died during the winter, while they waited for the river to thaw. They continued their journey down the Ohio River in the Spring of 1794. At the head of B___ Island, Indians stopped them and killed the boat crew. James also died here. An uncle, James Abbott, took the three children to Cincinnati in 1794 and on to Warren County OH about 1803 (Wright Family ts, Warren Co Gen Soc, Lebanon). Warren County papers say that James was one of the men at the Boston Tea Party and in the Revolution. The children believed they were born in MA, but they may have been born in Wells ME, where they were in the 1790 census. Children, born by 1790 (census), surname CHADBOURNE: Sarah, Ivory, Mary.
