Notes:

Boston Transcript, 6 April 1926, #2215
Elizabeth Ely, widow of Capt. William Ely, July 29, 1748, deeded to her sister Mary, widow of Ebenezer Parker, lands inherited from her father, Simon Smith, deceased. (Haddam Land Records, Vol. 5, folio 23.) Other similar deeds simply gave us a superfluous wealth of evidence. One we will refer to, since it throws light on the date of death of Elizabeth Ely. Her sister Mary Parker, Sept. 22, 1750, deeded to her son Abner an interest in land she had bought from her sister Elizabeth Ely of Lyme, lately deceased and also lands formerly belonging to her father, Simon Smith of Haddam. "The Ely Ancestry" has this transcription from the gravestone of Elizabeth: "Mrs. Elizabeth, relict of William Ely, died Oct. 10, 1750, in the 89th year of her age." The Parker deed shows she died before Sept. 22.

Notes:

Jeffery Champlin, the immigrant and progenitor of the Champlin name in America, was born at Bideford (Devonshire) England circa 1621. He emigrated between 1627 and 1638 from Portsmouth, Rhode Island. (1) It is not known how Jeffrey came to the New World (or when), although there are reports that he was in Boston as early as 1627. The first white settlement on Aquidneck took place in March 1638 on the north end of the island at Pocasset (renamed Portsmouth in 1640). This colony was founded by Anne Hutchinson and her small group of religious libertarians. They had met in the Boston home of prominent merchant William Coddington on March 7, 1638. This small group were greatly at odds with and frequently harassed by Massachusetts' ruling Puritans. Huthinson's group calling themselves the "Bodie Politick", drew up a compact in much the same way as did the Mayflower passengers.

He was a Cordwainer/Property/Public Official from 1638 to 1685 in Rhode Island. At Newport, Jeffrey engaged in the buying and selling of property and was thought to have become a cordwainer. Cordwainers were leather workers who made use of cordovan (a soft, colored leather usually made of sheep, goat, or dog skin, or split horse hide) to design and make custom made shoes. This was considered to be a pre-eminent profession in those days.

Jeffrey married Ulalia Garde. Ulalia (daughter of John Garde and Rebecca Copp) was born about 1625 in Bideford, Devonshire, ENG. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
