IN this chapter is given the genealogical records of many of the pioneers of the town, of all that I have been able to gather sufficient data and information to make a fairly full record. The preparation of these records has required much time, labor, correspondence, persistence and patience. Had I had in the beginning a full comprehension of the tedious labor required, I now feel sure I should not have undertaken it. That there are some errors in dates and possibly a few in names I am quite satisfied, since considerable of my information came from elderly people who wrote feebly and indistinctly. I think it will be readily understood, if the reader will bear in mind that it is in continuous order; that the first, second, third and fourth generations are each carried slightly to the right, and that each generation always has the same indentation.

ABIJAH CHANDLER b. 1762, E. Hartford, Conn.; d. November 4, 1830; m. Sabra Mann, b. 1763; d. June 19, 1837. He was a son of Daniel and Violet Chandler of East Hartford, Conn. He and his brother Daniel opened a store at the outlet of Enfield Pond, near Lebanon, N.H., taking the goods there from East Hartford, but were not successful. Dr. Hough states that he and five others came into town from Lebanon in the fall of 1806. He selected a tract about half a mile northeast of the present village of Nicholville and on the northerly side of the Turnpike, which was then only a trail. Very likely he then built a cabin, since it is morally certain that he moved into town the following spring with his wife and children. It is tradition in the family that his youngest child, Polly, born December 28, 1805, was only six weeks old when he moved to town, which would show that he came in advance of the party stated by Dr. Hough. Dr. Hough states and it is also tradition in the town that she was the first white woman to settle in Chesterfield. When the Turnpike came to be laid out (no doubt following the old trail) it ran across the corner of his tract, leaving him a small triangular piece on the southerly side. To this he added, holding at one time the Rufus Alden (now Elijah Bibbins) farm, though never taking title to any land. His log house was on the northerly side of the road, nearly opposite the present Bibbins residence. After a little he built a frame house on the southerly side, where he lived till his death. Getting into difficulty owing to indorsement for others, his sons, Hiram and Lewis, took title in 1824 to the tract on the northerly side of the road and Rufus Alden to that on the south side in 1836. Mr. Chandler at once took an active part in the affairs of Hopkinton and also in religious matters, being one of the early organizers of the Baptist Church. He held various offices, as will be seen by a reference to the town records, and was evidently the foremost man in that part of Hopkinton. He was a stone mason by tradeand took charge of or assisted in the building of the stone gristmill at Nicholville in 18 27. Had eleven children:
  • Abijah, Jr., b. November 5, 1786; d. September 7, 1864; m. Olive Chaney, October 26, 1816; b. June 19, 1800; d. November 15, 1842. He went to Portage, N.Y., in 1838, then Boston, N.Y., and died at the home of his son, Lucius D., in Concord, N.Y. Had nine children:
