Josiah Chapin, s/o Seth Chapin & Abigail Adams, m. (1) 20 Jan 1742 Rachel Albee of Mendon.
[Note: Since first child born 27 Dec 1745, this is assumed to be 1742/43. However, no such marriage record found in Mendon records so basis for this is unknown, and regarded with some suspicion since it is so long until the first child is born. Ironically, Mendon records show a different Rachel Albee was born in Mendon 20 Jan 1742 (see p. 10) raising concerns author made an editing error. Most secondary sources place the marriage in 1744 but don't give any evidence for that either.]
