"Born Oct. 23, 1795; married Maria, daughter of Joseph and Maria (Burns) Gilliland, by Rev. Peter Crandall, Dec. 27, 1819, and lived on the Hessian Line road, opposite his brother Abel; a thrifty farmer. But he unfortunately sold out in 1834 and moved to Prince Edward Island; but not succeeding as he anticipated, returned in 1836. After that, the family broke up and scattered, some to Massachusetts and others settled in Nova Scotia. The winter of 1851-1852 he spent with his brother and other relatives in Ontario. For ten years or more he lived in Salem, Massachusetts. He died at his brother Binea's, Bear River, Nova Scotia, March 10, 1864. His wife continued to reside in Salem until 1880, when her eldest son, Isaiah, took her to his home, where she died Aug. 29, 1883, over eighty years of age."*
*Note: Despite WEC's comment that Maria Gilliland Chute resided with her eldest son Isaiah, the 1881 census finds her living at the home of her son Calvin Jr., and his wife Lydia Blackburn Chute. It is not known if she lived with Calvin in 1881 and moved in with Isaiah before her death in 1883, or if she was merely visiting Calvin's family when the 1881 Census was taken.
