11. Lieutenant HUMPHREY3 CHADBOURNE (3. Humphrey2 William1), born Kittery circa 1653; died Berwick 1694 (BVR, 205); married before Sep 1678 when their first child was born SARAH BOLLES, born Wells 20 or 26 (Early Marriages of Strafford Co NH) Jan 1657, died probably Berwick after 10 Nov 1707 (letter of son Humphrey, below) and before Dec 1708 (when Benjamin Nason married third), daughter of Joseph and Mary (Howell) Bolles. The widow Sarah (Bolles) Chadbourne married second (as widow of Williamêapparently a transciption error, Early Marriages of Strafford Co NH) after May 1700, when Benjamin's last child with his first wife was born (KVR, 12) Benjamin Nason of Berwick, who died 1714. Benjamin had married first (by Rev John Pike) 30 June 1689 Martha Canney, b 5 Feb 1669, d before 1708, daughter of Thomas; and married third Portsmouth NH 27 Dec 1708 (NEHGR 5:40; LND, 504) Elizabeth (Martyn) (Kennard) Furber. (See Joseph Anderson, "Mary Nason, Wife of William Chadbourne of Berwick, Maine", TAG, Apr 1993.)

           In Jan 1690/1 Sarah witnessed the will of her brother-in-law Charles Frost (MW, 118). A land record has been found in which Benjamin and Sarah, his wife, conveyed property in Berwick (YD 7:50).  Both were signed with her distinctive, large "S".

           In the collections of the Maine Historical Society, a letter from Humphrey4 Chadbourne to his cousin Joseph Bolles survives to reveal the second marriage of the widow Sarah (Bolles) Chadbourne:

Humphry Chadbourn

(MHS, Coll. S-1664)

Sarah Bolles has a well-established royal descent from Edward I, King of England (1272-1307) and many earlier Kings of England, Scotland and France, as published in Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists by Frederick Lewis Weis, 7th Edition [1992] compiled by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. Her father, Joseph Bolles, was baptized at Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England 19 Feb 1608, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Perkins) Bolles Esq of Oberton Manor (ibid).

           Humphrey had several grants of land from the town of Kittery, including one on 13 Apr 1671, which implies that he was adult at this date.  In Nov 1673, Lt Edward Hayes was fined 20s for his "tumultuous carage in takeing of Humfrey Chadborne by the throate pretending hee was in Jest, as owned by him selfe" (MPC II:482).  We are not told what the "jest" was about.  Humphrey complained his sawmill was taxed too much (1688 letter at MA Hist Soc, Jeffries Coll II, 95).  He was a selectman for Kittery in 1692-93.  In a writ issued 23 Dec 1695, Sarah Chadbourne, widow of Humphrey, was called to appear at the Inferior Court of Common Pleas in Jan 1695/6 to answer to the charge that Humphrey sometime in 1693 had improperly cut and carried away five or six loads of hay from the widow Mary Twisden's marsh at York (MPC IV:63).

           Humphrey died relatively young, and at his death his estate of  £72(MPA) was called insolvent.  The greater part of the family property had remained in the capable hands of his mother Lucy.  After legacies were paid to his sisters, Humphrey's only real income was from half of the mill left by his father.  Undoubtedly the difficulty with Indians limited the procurement of logs for long periods.  The Chadbournes were credited with having good relations with local Indians, but others came long distances to attack white settlers (LND, 134).  He owed the Stilemans (his mother's last husband) sums of money at his death, which debt was forgiven to his children in Lucy's will (qv).  Sarah was appointed administratrix of Humphrey's intestate estate 16 May 1695 (MPA 1/22, 69).

           At the 5 Jan 1696/7 session of the court, Kittery presented the widow Sarah Chadbourne for not frequenting the public worship of God upon the Lords day (MPC IV:88).  She appeared at court the next session, 6 Apr 1697, and was fined 5s 6d (MPC IV:91).  It was presumably this Sarah Chadbourne's house mentioned in the deposition of Hannah Hobbs 17 Aug 1699 (MPC IV:248).

Children, born probably Berwick ME, Humphrey the eldest, the others named in the order given in Lucy's (their grandmother) will (NHSP XXXI:452-453), surname CHADBOURNE:
