DAVID CHAFEE, Father of Ralph Chafee, was born in Ashford, Conn, July 25, 1772. He came to Onondaga in 1799, and worked for Col. Comfort Tyler, in haying and harvesting. Returning to Connecticut, he taught school one winter, and in the spring came back and selected a place a little north of Amber, on land since owned by Jonathan Davis; after chopping down an acre of timber he left it and selected Lot No. 208 in the town of Onondaga, which he purchased of the State upon an article of agreement at $2. 00 per acre, paying interest thereon at six per cent., for a term of years. November 27, 1800, he married Eunice Chapman, daughter of Joseph Chapman, of Manlius, and lived on the place above referred to till his death, September 18, 1847, having raised a family of eight sons and three daughters, all of whom are living, except the youngest, who died January 12, 1878, aged 57years and 10 months. Mr. Chafee served the town as Assessor in the years 1808-'9 and 1816, and was at that time Justice of the Peace, and at one time taught school. Daniel Chafee settled on the lot north of Lot No. 208, in 1800.[1]
