"148 Noah5 Chafee (Nathaniel,4 Jonathan,3 Nathaniel,2 Thomas1} was born in Rehoboth, Mass., February 22, 1745-6, and died in Woodstock, Conn., January 3, 1816. He married Susanna Esterbrook, who died there in 1829. Noah Chaffee was baptized in the First Congregational Church of Rehoboth, in the spring of 1751. He lost his father when thirteen years of age and his brother, Nathaniel was appointed his guardian. August 3, 1762, when of an age to choose his own guardian, he made choice of his uncle Ephraim Chaffe(44). He lived for some years in Rehoboth, where he was a tailor. November 10, 1769, with William Chaffe(158) he sold for £18, five acres of land in Rehoboth, to John Bowen. May 9, 1770, 'Noah Chafie tailor of Rehoboth,' sold to the same William Chaffe, for £9, 18s., two and a half acres of land there. The next record of him is the birth of his first child in Woodstock in 1776. He probably moved to Pomfret, Conn., between 1789 and 1792. He was of that place, March 9, 1796, when he sold to Joseph Chafie (130) of Rehoboth for £18, one-fifth part of the real estate of his father, Nathaniel Chaffe, late of Rehoboth. His youngest child was born in Pomfret in 1801, but both he and his wife, died in Woodstock..."
