Notes

From Miner Descent | John CHIPMAN

Elder John Chipman was the only son of Mr. Thomas Chipman of Briantspuddle, Dorchester, Dorsetshire, England, who had had an estate there.  He had two sisters Hannah and Tamson, who remained in England. His father died before he left England [1637] and his mother before 1642.  John served several terms as deputy to the colony court and as one of the selectmen and in other important public capacities.

Thomas Chipman, his father, has inherited a valuable mill property as a yong man which had been administered and then taken over by his distant cousin Christopher Derby. Thomas had later married, but had never received any capital from Derby.  John lived a few years during his youth with his uncle Christopher Derby who was prosperous at the time. He probably made provision for John to attend some sort of school where he learned to read and write. After Thomas’ death, his only son, John, at age seventeen emigrated to Plymouth in 1637 under indenture to Richard Derby, son of Christopher. When he was twenty-one, John Chipman made an effort to establish a claim against Christopher Derby, supported by testimony from Ann Hynd, a domestic from the Derby house, who had also come to Plymouth. ....
