Captain Henry Chapin

1631 - 1718  (87 years)

• Name	Henry Chapin
  Title	Captain
  Birth	25 Jan 1631	Paignton, Devon, England
  Gender	Male
  Death	15 Aug 1718	Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts
  Burial	Springfield Cemetery, Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts
  Notes	Arrived Springfield 1642, resided there 76 years until his death in 1718. He was a Deputy to the General Court in 1689, and for eleven years served as Selectman. His first service was in 1670, and his last year 1701 Henry was a sea captain, also served 7 years in the Royal Navy. He died in Springfield, but had his body shipped back to Paignton, Devonshire for burial-- odd at first glance because his parents were bur in the New World. However the note I have on his gf is "Paignton, Devonshire, buried at sea"-- so perhaps the Royal Naval connection took precedence for him.
