PAUL6 CHADBOURNE (Humphrey5 William4 Humphrey3-2 William1), born Berwick ME 20 Mar 1747/8; died N Waterborough ME 31 Dec 1825; married 2nd Church of Berwick 26 Apr 1770 (NEHGR 74:250) JOANNA4 YEATON, born 17 May 1753, died Limerick ME 4 Mar 1826 while visiting friends "Widow of the late Paul, Esq., aged 73" (Dover Gazette and Strafford Advertiser, 29 Mar 1826, 3), daughter of Philip33 (Philip2, Richard11) and Dorcas (Smith) Yeaton of Berwick. Both are buried on Paul's old homestead at N Waterborough on property now owned by descendant Earle Ahlquist. We are grateful to Earle for completing the genealogy of Paul's descendants beyond Emery's account, and to Nancy Maze for her work assisting Earle.
Many of the Chadbournes were of enormous size, and Paul was no exception. Three hundred pounds was the norm rather than an exception with his children, including some of his daughters. An article in a Portland paper talks of the two tons of Chadbournes and includes some of Paul's family as well as three from Lake Sebago. The 1790 Census for Coxhall lists 3 males over 16, 4 males under 16, and 4 females in this household. His will, proved 1826, named Joanna and children Nathan, Paul, John, James, Philip, Jeremiah, Humphrey, Elijah, Susanna, Phebe, Joanna, Sarah, Dorcas and grandchild Belinda (YP #2682, 36:275).
