(2) Also see following biographical items: (A) STATUE OF DEACON SAMUEL CHAPIN: Named "The Puritan," this statue by noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens is located in Merrick Park, Springfield, MA, by the Public Library. (B) EXCERPTS FROM TWO BIOGRAPHIES: (1) "The Chapin Book of Genealogical Data...," by Gilbert Warren Chapin (Hartford, CT, 1924, at pages xii and xii): Samuel Chapin came to New England probably with his father and family in 1635 or earlier. [Not included in "The Great Migration" series of 1634/5 immigrants, however.} A record at Roxbury, of early but unknown date, shows that he possessed 24 acres of land there, and he had eight persons in his family: himself, wife, father and five children. In 1641he bought a house and lot of James Howe and became a freeman, which implied that he was a church member and which gave him the right to vote and hold office under the Colony government. He was evidently an acquaintance of William Pynchon in England and a neighbor, for a short time, in Roxbury. Pynchon, in 1636, led about a dozen families westward to the Connecticut River where he founded the settlement first known as Agawam, later renamed Springfield. The Chapins apparently migrated to the new settlement during the winter of 1642-3. This change was doubtless largely due to Pynchon's influence. William Pynchon appointed five men of standing in Springfield, called selectmen, to watch over the morals, health and public measures. Deacon Samuel Chapin was one of these.....He was engaged in town business and held the office of selectman continuously from 1644 to 1652 and again in 1661 and 1664, and later he ws auditor. He is first called deacon in the records on Feb. 21, 1650. Beside the regular duties assigned to this office, he conducted the Sabbath services, including preaching, for several years when the church lacked a pastor. In 1652, Capt. John Pynchon, Lieut. Elizur Holyoke, and Samuel Chapin were by the General Court commissioned magistrates for the administration of justice, "allowing them the power of a County Court." He held this office until 1664, and in addition performed important duties in laying out and grants and the plantations that became Northampton and Hadley. His first home lot was at the corner of the present Main and Pynchon Streets, but by 1664 he appears to have been living in Chicopee with his son Japhet. His holdings in Springfield were large, but he gave all to his sons in his life time, reserving a life interest for himself and wife, his will disposing of personal estate only. See "Life of Deacon Samuel Chapin of Springfield," by Howard Millar Chapin, Providence, R.I., for the fullest account, based original documents and records. (2) "The Chapin Genealogy," by Orange Chapin (Northampton, MA, 1862, at pages 1/2): Samuel Chapin took the freeman's oath in Boston, in the year (June 2) 1641. He lived probably in Dorchester, and was a Deacon in the Church.....Deacon Samuel Chapin came with his family to reside in Springfield in 1642.....Perhaps the greater part of his children were born in this country, but no record has been found of the birth of but one--the youngest, and we do not find any record of but one of his sons taking the freeman's oath. David, his son, was made a freeman in Springfield, 5th day 2nd month, 1649......In 1652, 10th of October, Samuel Chapin was appointed one of the magistrates of Springfield, and in 1654 his commission was extended indefinitely. He was also much employed in other public business--a highly useful and esteemed man.
