    Notes 
    • From Cooley Genealogy, p. 196:
      Deacon Samuel Chapin came to Springfield from Roxbury, Mass; he was in Springfield by 1642. He took a prominent part in all affairs of the town, both religious and civil. In 1648, he was a member of the Board of Selectman on which Benjamin Cooley first served. Deacon Chapin conducted religious services in the absence of the minister. Following the departure of Mr. Moxon from the Springfield Church, he preached alternately with Henry Burt and John Pynchon until Mr. Moxon's successor, Peletiah Glover, arrived. Deacon Samuel Chapin had four sons and three daughters; all but the youngest child were born before he came to Springfield.
