FOREWORD
This project was started in 1998 while I was attending the University
of Idaho, as the research requirement for my degree in History. Initially, I
was apprehensive about finding enough information to complete a report, as
my immediate family wasn’t particularly close. However, as I continued to
search through old documents and probe family members for answers, I
found a history that was abundant and rich with fascinating people and
amazing stories. The project became so large that I had to divide each
lineage into separate genealogies. This genealogy centers on my ancestors
from Newfoundland - the Chipmans. Also, I have added some historical
facts of the areas where they lived, events affecting their lives, and, if
possible, descriptions and conditions to further bring our Ancestors alive.
I begin the Genealogy with a brief history on the discovery of
Newfoundland and how the events of the time affected its colonization.
Then, I move forward to the settling of the Spaniard’s Bay area and
introduce the Chipmans. The genealogy continues with the lineage of Owen
Chipman1, the furthest Chipman that can be traced to date. It continues in
Newfoundland through Absalom Gosse Chipman44 who immigrates to
Massachusetts, where he married Jane Norman, also from Newfoundland,
and then through their children. Next, I provided the lineage of John
Chipman(2)1, who I believe is somehow related to Owen Chipman, but no
connection can be made at this time. I then end the Genealogy with
additional Chipman Information and ‘Chipman Notes’ that may help future
Genealogists.
When writing a genealogy of this size a number of problems occur. I
have tired to be as accurate as possible with the information I had available
at the time and quote the source when applicable. Sometimes I have to
speculate and I give the circumstances surrounding it. The project has been
painstakingly difficult as I have never been to Newfoundland and the
information has been taken from interviews, books, letters, and any other
source that has been available, including the Internet. I believe that I have
compiled a genealogy that is as accurate as possible with the hopes of
someday continuing it as more information becomes available.
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to my efforts in
compiling this genealogy. If it weren’t for your efforts and enthusiasm this
vii
project would never have taken life. First, I would like to thank Dr. William
R. Swaggerty of the University of Idaho, who made me tackle this difficult
project. His help and encourage was invaluable to the early stages of my
research. Secondly, to my father who’s initial interview helped get this
project started and gave life to some of the people in this book. Thirdly, to
my late Grandmother, Elizabeth Chipman-Ferguson131, whose letters,
pictures, and interviews, contributed immensely in connecting our family with
the people in Newfoundland and her encouragement and enthusiasm drove me
through this project. Next, I would like to thank my wife, Janet, and son,
Taegan. Thank you for giving me the time to complete this project. I love
you both immensely. I would like to extend a big 'thank you' to Bonnie
Hickey and everyone at Newfoundland Gen Web in their efforts of placing
genealogical information on the Internet. You have saved me a great deal of
time and money to complete this project1. Lastly, to all my relatives that
provided me with tidbits of information to follow and the help they gave me
without ever meeting me. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this and someday
add to it for our children.

NEWFOUNDLAND
The Island of Newfoundland is located in the Atlantic Ocean and
originally was thought that John Cabot was the first to discover the island in
1497. Cabot was a Genoese and Venetian sailor, who was sailing under the
English flag and given a charter by King Henry VII on March 5, 1496 “to sail
to all parts, countries and seas of the East, of the West and of the North”1.
However, Cabot was not the first, as 500 years earlier the Vikings came to
North America and explored Greenland, Labrador, and Newfoundland. They
established a colony, but it lasted only a few years. In 1534, Jacques
Cartier on his second voyage discovered that Newfoundland was a cluster of
islands.
Fishing and trading ships were coming to Newfoundland from Portugal,
Spain, France, and England and used the island as a vital fishing station. On
August 5, 1583, the British Empire took claim to Newfoundland as Sir
Humphrey Gilbert “took possession of said lande in the right of the crown of
England”2. The Spanish Armada was defeated in 1588 and this lead to the
Spanish and Portuguese fisheries in Newfoundland to virtually disappear.
The French, in agreement with the British, where allowed to keep their
fisheries on Newfoundland. In 1713, the French ceded their territorial
rights with the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht.
When Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed Newfoundland in 1583, it became
part of the Colonial Empire, but was not given official colonial status until
1824. Newfoundland acquired Representative Government and Assembly in
1832 and their first Prime Minister, Phillip Francis Little, in 1855. When the
Union of British North America was formed in 1867, Newfoundlanders
rejected the idea of joining with Canada. By 1918, the Newfoundland
Government began referring to themselves as the Dominion of Newfoundland
and was given formal independence by the Stature of Westminister in 1931.
On March 31, 1949, Newfoundland became part of Canada.
--- --The Vikings established the first European Colony in Newfoundland
some 500 years before John Cabot sailed, but it lasted only a few years.
After John Cabot, Europeans started to come to Newfoundland in the spring

and leave in the fall. The primary reason was the fishing off the coast of
Newfoundland. There is some evidence to indicate that the Portuguese were
the first to spend a winter in Newfoundland, but John Guy established the
first permanent colony.
Guy was one of several London and Bristol
Merchants that received a royal charter from James I of England and
established a colony at Cupids in 1610. The colony thrived for the first two
years, but a combination of factors brought about a gradual decline. This
decline led the company to sell parts of their land to other potential
colonists, such as Sir William Vaughan and Henry Cary (Lord Falkland). Both
colonies were unsuccessful and Sir George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) obtained
a large portion of Vaughan’s land and established a colony at Ferryland.
Calvert’s colony was also unsuccessful, and he sought out a royal charter in
what later became the State of Maryland in the United States.
With the collapse of Calvert’s colony came Sir David Kirke, who
obtained a charter for the entire island. Kirke was very controversial and
his charter for the entire island led to prolonged lawsuits between him and
Calvert. Kirke’s actions angered everyone from England to Newfoundland.
Despite his actions and his enemies, Kirke had the most success, but his
colony also failed. Although the colonies failed, many of the colonists
remained in the settlements or migrated to informal ones, like Harbour
Grace and Carbonear3.

SPANIARD’S BAY
Spaniard’s Bay is located on the northwest side of Conception Bay and
consists of Vokey’s Shore, Northern Cove, Mint Cove, Green Head, and
Goddenville. The names of towns and places in Newfoundland are perhaps
the most unusual collection in the world and the origins of these names are a
fascinating study by itself. Places such as “Come by Chance” or “Right in the
Run Island” displays the Newfoundlanders’ humor. Other places describe
the rugged and harsh coastline, like “Bad Bay”, “Misery Point”, or “Bleak
Island”. Some places reflect the varied origin of the area, such as
“Frenchman’s Cove”, “English Harbour”, and of course “Spaniard’s Bay”4. The
name Spaniard’s Bay came from the Basque and Portuguese fishermen who
frequented the port in the 1500s and 1600s, and were referred to by the
English as ‘Spaniards’.
Occupation of the area was seasonal at first, as with most of
Newfoundland, but gradually English fishermen began to make permanent
homes in Spaniard’s Bay around 1776. American Traders were visiting
Spaniard’s Bay before 1776 and they exchanged salt, rum, and tobacco for
fish. By 1805, there were 400 people living in the area and according to the
1871 Lovell’s Directory, the population would rise to 1,182 in less than
seventy years. The majority of the settlers were English and had Dorset
origin, but there was a strong Irish population. The population would be
close to 2,200 by the end of 19915.
The initial settlement at Spaniard’s Bay centered around Mint Cove
and Northern Cove. Some of the people living in Mint Cove before 1800
were Jonathan Sheppard, John Warford, Timothy Collins, and William
Chipman. William Gosse and Robert Gosse, Jr. had a dockyard in Northern
Cove in 1790, while Thomas Noseworthy and William Porter were living at
Green Head in 1796. The Smith and Barrett families occupied Bread and
Cheese (Bishop’s) Cove, with the Smiths claiming to have been in possession
of the land since 1625. There were 400 people in 38 families occupying 36
registered properties in Spaniard’s Bay. Some of the family names included
Peddle, Kelly, Neil, Besom, Brown, Forter, Phelan, Seymour, Vokey, Butt,
Baggs, Baker, and Menchion6.

THE CHIPMANS IN SPANIARD’S BAY
Among the population at the initial settlement of Spaniard’s Bay were
the ‘Chipmans’. The surname ‘Chipman’ is English in origin and is a variant of
‘Chapman’ and in the Spaniard’s Bay area it is sometimes spelt ‘Chitman’. The
name could also come from Chippenham in England8. The earliest existence
of ‘Chipman’ in Newfoundland was a William Chipman of Mint Cove around
1755, whose property bordered Sarah Barrett of Bread and Cheese Cove.
Both William and Sarah obtained their land through the Act of William III,
which was enacted to encourage trade to Newfoundland9. According to Eric
Martin Gosse’s, The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay, William Chipman once
occupied the eastern boundary of Otterbury, which was between Northern
Cove and Bishop’s Cove. There is also mention of his plantation that was
registered in 1798.
At the entrance of Northern Cove, just beyond the
Orange Lodge, lies the northeastern boundary of
the William Chipman plantation registered in 1798.
It follows the shoreline west to Robert Brown’s
property, a distance of 199 yards. Part of his
property was acquired by the Orange Society and
further west a portion was sold to the government
for construction of a public building to house the
post and telegraph office, married quarters for
the local constable, as well as accommodation for a
customs clerk (now the Royal Canadian Legion).
Other sections of this holding are still owned by
male direct descendants10.
The William Chipman mentioned in the Return of Possession Held in
Conception Bay 1805 and The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay is quite possibly the
same person despite the 43–year difference. However, there is evidence
that he had at least one child, aptly named William. A marriage of a William
8
Barbara McGrath, a genealogist from Newfoundland, provided the origin of the surname 'Chipman'.
The connection with the surname ‘Chitman’ can be seen in the Vital Records from the area.

This information was from the Return of Possession Held in Conception Bay 1805 and composed of
plantation records. It was obtained from NF Gen Web and transcribed by Debbie Bateman.

Chipman to a Mary Barrett from Upper Island Cove on September 29, 1784
suggests that there was another William Chipman11.
The marriage of William and Mary occurs 29 years after the
properties of William and Sarah are registered. At best this would have
made William 50 years old at the time of his marriage to Mary. The most
plausible explanation is that William had a son, named William who became
the husband of Mary Barrett, the daughter of Sarah Barrett.
No
information at this time can be found for the wife of the senior William
Chipman or for the husband of Sarah Barrett. The 1798 entry of William’s
plantation from The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay could be the son, but one
thing is certain, the elder William founded it.
There is no historical evidence that links the younger William Chipman
to Owen Chipman1, but there is a strong possibility they were related.
During these times, families tend to settle in the same area and the children
usually do not move far from their original homes. The assumption here is
that William is the father of Owen Chipman, but nothing can be proven at
this time. The only recorded children of William and Mary Chipman are two
daughters. The first is Eleanor, who was baptized by George C. Jenner and
born on February 4, 1798 and Rebekka, who was baptized by L. A. Anspach
and born on March 26, 180412. Although they are the only children that can
be verified, there are others that have a strong possible connection. The
following people were married and had a William Chipman, perhaps the
father, as a witness13:
September 19, 1808
Frances Chipman, spinster, of Spaniard’s Bay,
married John Blundon, bachelor, of Harbor Grace.
Ceremony performed by L. A. Anspach and William
Chipman and Henry Neale witnessed the marriage.
January 5, 1814
Alice Chipman, spinster, of Spaniard’s Bay, married
Samuel Hutchings, bachelor, of Spaniard’s Bay.
Ceremony performed by F. H. Carrington and John
Besom and William Chipman witnessed the marriage.

February 1, 1814
Owen Chipman, bachelor and planter, of Spaniard’s
Bay, married Elizabeth Hutchings, spinster of
Spaniard’s Bay.
Ceremony performed by F. H.
Carrington and William Chipman and Richard Gosse
witnessed the marriage.
There are additional marriages that occurred during this time, but no
William Chipman is present as a witness. At this time no connection exists
between them and any other Chipman14.
April 7, 1777
Mary Cheapman of Island Cove married William
Sharpe at Harbour Grace.
November 25, 1819
Elizabeth Chipman, a spinster, of Spaniard’s Bay
married Henry Jewer, a bachelor, of Harbour Grace.
February 10, 1820
John Chipman, a bachelor, married Elizabeth Gordon,
both of Carbonear.

OWEN CHIPMAN
1.
OWEN CHIPMAN
Owen Chipman was born in 1789, most likely in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and it is believed that he was the son of William Chipman of Mint Cove, but
this is unconfirmed. He married ELIZABETH HUTCHINGS (b: Abt. 1796; d:
Jul 24, 1884), a spinster, on February 1, 1814. William Chipman and Richard
Gosse witnessed the marriage. The presence of a William Chipman at this
marriage strengthens the claim that Owen was somehow related to William
Chipman of Mint Cove. Owen was a planter by trade, as indicated by the
Harbour Grace Anglican Marriage Records. He lived in Spaniard’s Bay, but
spent some time in Northern Cove as indicated on the birth record of his
third son, Levi. At the age of 76, Owen died in Spaniard’s Bay and was
buried on September 2, 1865 and the Officiator was W. F. Meek1.
Elizabeth died in Spaniard’s Bay on July 24, 1884 and was buried on
the 27th of the same month. The Officiator was J. M. F. Bradshaw and her
burial Record indicates she was 88 and ¾ years old2.

1831 and the Missionary John Burt baptized her on November 22, 1831.
There is no indication of Catherine ever being married, but she had a
relationship with two men. The first was Joseph Kearly of Spaniard’s Bay.
They had a son together named Joseph Kearly Chipman and he was born on
April 1, 1855. A few years later Catherine was in a relationship with another
man named Thomas Smart from Couch Cove, Newfoundland and she and him
had a child on May 18, 18597.
It would appear that Catherine lead a somewhat difficult life and a
court case in Sean T. Cadigan’s Hope and Deception in Conception adds to
this assumption. This particular section of the book deals with the
treatment of women in the Spaniard’s Bay area.
In 1853 Edward Shanahan beat his servant,
Catherine Chipman, for accidentally tipping over a
cart of caplin.
Catherine’s mother [Elizabeth
Hutchings-Chipman], who had hired her out to
Shanahan for four pounds, came to take Catherine

home when she heard of the beating. The court
did not think the beating was totally unjustified,
and allowed Catherine only some of the clothes
brought for her by Shanahan. She had to forfeit
her wages8.
The only indication that Catherine may have been married appears in 1873.
An Elias Cole married a Catherine Chipman, both of Victoria Village, on
November 14, 1873. Catherine would have been 42 at the time of the
marriage9.

William Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on October 12,
1850 and John Kingwell, Sr. baptized him the following year on April 27,
1851. At this time, no more information can be found regarding him12.

AZARIAH CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Azariah Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on January 26,
1855 and was privately baptized five days later on the 31st. W. H. Earle

had changed professions to a planter15. However, the McAlphine’s Directory
of 1894, 1898, and 1904, has him listed as a fisherman.

11. LEVI CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Levi Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland in September of
1858 and was baptized on October 10, 1858 by Charles Walsh. He married
(1) ELIZABETH JULIA JEWER (b: 1861; d: After 1898) on May 31, 1882.
Fred J. J. Smith in the presence of Soloman Gosse and Susannah Chipman
performed their wedding ceremony.
Like most people in Spaniard’s Bay, Levi made his living as a fisherman.
In Eric Martin Gosse’s The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay, Levi retells an old
fishing story.
We were steaming up the Bay in the Vanguard and
there was old Billy Windsor in the Iceland stuck in

a string of ice. We went over and cleared him and
got caught ourselves. Before we reached water
the Iceland was ahead. I went for a mug-up and
when I came out of the galley with a boiling kettle
of water, there she was bow-on to Munn’s Wharf.
The Old Man, Bobby Gosse, was roaring mad and
going full speed for the gap. We ploughed between
the wharf and the Iceland with the crews of both
ships standing in the waist and cursing each other.
When we staggered to a stop the whole crew of
the Vanguard boarded the Iceland and the fight
was on. I remember smashing the kettle over the
head of one fellow and knocking down a few others
but one of them bloodied me nose before I
flattened him. At that time we had to leave
because the Iceland was drifting off and we had to
jump to reach the Vanguard’s rail. That was a good
spring, me son, we had over 20,000 skins and I
didn’t begrudge the loss of me kettle17.
Levi and Elizabeth were married for almost 19 years when she passed
away on March 28, 1900. She was buried on March 31, 1900 and T. P. Quintin
was the Officiator. In the 1921 Newfoundland Census of Spaniard’s Bay,
Levi was remarried to JESSIE (b: Nov 1877). A search of the area did not
produce a Marriage Record nor any children between the two.
He spent his entire life as a fisherman and is listed in the McAlphine’s
Directory’s of 1894, 1898, and 1904 as such. Additionally, he was on the
1924 Voter’s List in Spaniard’s Bay and the 1935/1936 Newfoundland
Directory, which has him listed as being a retired fisherman.
17
I believe that this Levi Chipman is telling the story in The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay. The 1894
McAlphine’s Directory has one Levi Chipman as a fisherman and one Robert Gosse as a Master Mariner.
However, the 1898 McAlphine’s Directory has two Levi Chipmans. They both are listed as a fisherman.
The first is this Levi Chipman from the 1894 Directory and the son of Owen. The second is the son of
Levi and is numbered 32. The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay refers to Levi Chipman as ‘Big Paddy’ and
there is no indication of which Levi was ‘Big Paddy’, but I lean towards this Levi Chipman as he spent
more time fishing when Bobby Gosse was around. Also, the other Levi spent some time as a Carpenter,
while this Levi spent his entire life as a fisherman. The author of The Settling of Spaniard’s Bay has
not yet been contacted for his source and it is quite possible that neither man told this story.

A photograph of Levi “Big Paddy” Chipman
and his second wife, Jessie. The picture,
as was common during the time, was
matted to a piece of cardboard. The
partial tear occurred before it came into
the possession of the Author, when
someone tried to remove the picture from
the frame. The photograph was taken
around 1920.

Levi was a rugged man as indicated by his pictures and outlived three
of his sons. On February 26, 1937, Levi passed away in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland. He is buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery in
Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland. His tombstone has the inscription “Husband
of Jessie” written on it18.

Levi might have had another son that is unidentified. The death of his

youngest son, John Charles, uncovers this possibility. The newspaper article
cited in John’s biography mentions that Levi had a son killed in the early
months of the war while serving in the Navy. That son could have been
Henry, but since the name of this son is unknown, it is possible that a sixth
son might have existed19.

12. SOLOMAN CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Soloman Chipman was born in 1861 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland and
Bertram Jones baptized him on March 3, 1861. On December 1, 1884 he
married (1) MARY JANE JEWER (b: 1861; d: Jul 10, 1887). Theo Nurse
performed their ceremony and it was witnessed in the presence of James
Juer and Lydia Gosse. Mary died a few years after their marriage and was
buried on May 12, 1887 in the Old Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery in
Absalom’s daughter, ELIZABETH131, remembers a photograph in her childhood home with an Uncle
who was killed while serving in the Navy. The location of this photograph is unknown, but it could have
passed to her sister Martha, who is now deceased. Elizabeth could have been mistaken on who was in
the photograph. It may have been Nathaniel, who was killed in the Southern Cross Tragedy or John,
who was killed in Soissons, France during World War I.

Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland. The Officiator for the funeral was Theo R.
Nurse.
On January 8, 1891, Soloman remarried to (2) JULIA BARRETT (b:
Aug 1861), who was from Bishop’s Cove, Newfoundland and the daughter of
Nathanuel Barrett, a planter. Their marriage was performed by J. Shirley
Sanderson and witnessed by Solomon Chipman and Julia Barrett. There are
no records to verify it, but it is assumed that Soloman and Julia spent their
entire lives in Spaniard’s Bay.
The McAlphine’s Directory’s of 1894, 1898, and 1904 have him listed
as being a fisherman. He was on the 1921 Newfoundland Census as the head
of household, the 1924 Voter’s List in Spaniard’s Bay, and the 1935/1936
Newfoundland Directory, which has him listed as a laborer. It would appear
that Soloman worked as a fisherman until he was unable to do so, perhaps
due to age, and became a laborer20.

6, she died in 1870 and was buried on June 5, 1870. W. H. Earle acted as the
Officiator21.
14. SUSANNA CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Susanna Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on February 18,
1866 and W. F. Meek baptized her on March 18, 1866. JOHN BARNEY (b:

performed their wedding. There is no indication of them living in the
Spaniard’s Bay area and it is quite possible they lived in Lance Au Loup,
Newfoundland. A search in the Lanse Au Loup, Labrador Graveyards
uncovers a Susanna married to a John Barney. However, the tombstone
states that Susanna died at the age of 59 in 1914, which would have made
her birth year 185822. The dates for John’s birth on the tombstone, match
the marriage record. The children listed below are from their tombstone23.

15. EDWARD CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Edward Chipman was born on August 31, 1868 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and W. H. Earle baptized him on September 7, 1868. The
Baptism Record shows that it was private and received on November 11,
186824. On November 1, 1890, he married (1) SUSANNA HENNESSEY (b:
1868; d: May 4, 1910). J. Arthur Evans in the presence of Owen and Diana
Chipman performed their wedding ceremony. According to the Marriage
Record and the McAlphine’s Directory’s of 1894, 1898, and 1904, Edward
was a fisherman.
He was married to Susanna for almost 20 years when she died on May
4, 1910. The date of her death is a week after the birth of her twins,
George and Susanna. The possibility that she died from complications in
childbirth is quite possible. The twins are not on the 1921 Newfoundland
Census and taking the fact that they were baptized a day after their birth
is a strong indication that they may have died during or shortly after
birth25.
22
Susanna’s birth and baptism and marriage to John are from NF Gen Web.
I believe the records in the Lanse Au Loup Graveyards correspond to them, as the date for John
Barney’s birth matches the date for the John Barney that married Susanna in Spaniard’s Bay. Even
though the date for Susanna’s tombstone does not match her birth record, I believe this is she. The
error is either in the transfer of the records to NF Gen Web or an error by the recording official
when she died. Sometimes the Spelling of ‘Lance’ in ‘Lance Au Loup’ can be found as ‘Lanse’.
24
Private baptisms usually mean the child died at birth, but a search in the area does not uncover
another Edward Chipman who could have married Susanna or Elizabeth.
25
Edward’s birth and baptism and marriage to Susanna were from NF Gen Web. Their children’s
births from Levi to Selby were from NF Gen Web. The births of Willis to Susanna were from Barbara
McGrath.

A few years after Susanna’s death, Edward remarried to an (2)
ELIZABETH (b: Feb 1879; d: Apr 12, 1938), but no record of their marriage
is found except for the 1921 Newfoundland Census. Edward had several
children and lived to be 85 years old. He was on the 1924 Voter’s List for
Spaniard’s Bay and was listed as being a retired fisherman in the 1935/1936
Newfoundland Directory. He passed away on November 27, 1953 and is
buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland next to his two wives, Susanna and Elizabeth. Susanna’s
tombstone has the inscription “Wife of Edward Chipman” and Elizabeth’s has
“Erected by Solomon”, who is most likely Edward’s brother. Elizabeth died
on April 12, 193826.
Ralph, from Edward’s first marriage is listed as his son on the 1921
Newfoundland Census, but there is not a record of his birth. Lily Menchions
is also listed on the 1921 Newfoundland Census as Edward’s stepdaughter,
indicating that Elizabeth may have been previously married and widowed.
Her maiden name and the name of her first husband are unknown27.

16. OWEN CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Owen Chipman was born on December 9, 1870 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and John Noel baptized him on January 8, 1871. He is listed
in the 1894 McAlphine’s Directory as a fisherman28. Owen either left the
area or passed away between 1894 and 1898, as he is no longer listed in the
McAlphine Directories and no other record of him can be found29.
17. DIANNA CHIPMAN (OWEN2, OWEN1)
Dianna Chipman was born on January 9, 1874 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and John Noel baptized her on February 22, 1874. She
married JAMES BROWN (b: 1860; d: Bef. 1921), a widower on November 21,
1895. Julia Hussey, James Young, and her father, Owen Chipman, witnessed
the marriage30.
Her husband, James, was a fisherman and was born in Spaniard’s Bay
in 1860. He was the son of George Brown and Maria Burn and was baptized
on October 21, 1860 by Julian Moreton. The 1921 Newfoundland Census in
Spaniard’s Bay lists her as being a widow and living alone31.

baptized her on September 7, 1879. She married ROBERT JOHN MEADUS
(b: 1879) of Greenspond, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland on April 6, 1900 in
the presence of Dianna Brown, Susanna Chipman, and William Gosse, and
John Chipman.
Robert Meadus was born in 1873, presumably in Greenspond,
Newfoundland. He was the son of Malachi Meadus and, like his father, was a
fisherman. After he married Lily, they moved to Greenspond. John is listed

listing of him or Lily in Greenspond after 190432.
19. OWEN CHIPMAN (JAMES3, OWEN1)
Owen Chipman was born on January 1, 1849 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and was baptized by W. H. Taylor in February 25th of the same year. He
died in 1851 and the records indicate that he was 2 ¾ years old. He was
buried on May 4, 1851 with John Kingwell, Sr. being the Officiator 33. As a
result of Owen’s early death, James and Patience named their next son
Owen. The naming of children after a deceased sibling who died at an early
age was common practice.
20. JOHN CHIPMAN (JAMES3, OWEN1)
John Chipman was born on September 10, 1850 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and was baptized on April 27 in the following year by John
Kingwell, Sr. At this time, no information can be found regarding him. There
is a John Chipman that was buried in 1869, but there is no given age. This
possibly could be him, but more information is needed to verify it34.
21. OWEN CHIPMAN (JAMES3, OWEN1)
Owen Chipman was born on August 16, 1852 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and was baptized the following year on January 16, 1853 by Charles Walsh.
The baptism was private and perhaps was in honor of the younger Owen, who
had died the year before. He married JANE SHARPE (b: 1854; d: Sep 25,
1902) in Spaniard’s Bay on May 25, 1874 with the ceremony being performed
by Bertram Jones and George and Sarah Jane Baker witnessing it.
Owen lived in Spaniard’s Bay until around 1881 to 1886, when he moved
his family to Tilton, Newfoundland35. He is listed in the McAlphine’s
Directories of 1894 and 1898 in Tilton as being a fisherman. He died in
Tilton on March 28, 1901 and was buried two days later with the Officiator
being T. P. Quintin36. Jane died the following year on September 25, 1902

Joseph Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on September 28,
1854 and was baptized by Charles Walsh on November 5th of the same year.
He married LOUISA CABOT (b: 1862) of Labrador, Newfoundland, on
September 29, 1879 at the Holy Trinity Church in Spaniard’s Bay in the
presence of Moses Butt, James Hutchings, and Mary Jane Juer. According
to their marriage record he was a fisherman.
Sometime between 1880 and 1883, after the birth of their first child,
Mary Jane, the couple moved to Tilton, Newfoundland. There is no listing
for him in Tilton, but it is assumed that he lived there the remainder of his
life as a fisherman. He died on June 26, 1897 and was buried the following
day with S. A. Dawson as the Officiator. According to the burial record, he
died from Consumpation38.
Louisa was the daughter of John Cabot, a possible descendent of the
famous Italian Explorer of the same name. The Italian variant for John
Cabot is Giovanni Caboto. John Cabot first came to Newfoundland in 1497
and landed in Cape Bonivista. The connection between Louisa and the famous
explorer is purely speculation as no direct information can be found at this
time39.
37
Jane’s birth was obtained from subtracting her age at the time of her birth. The information for
her death and burial were from NF Gen Web.
38
Joseph’s birth and baptism, his marriage to Louisa, and his death and burial records were from NF
Gen Web. Louisa’s year of birth is taken from her age on her marriage records. The births for the
children were from the baptism records on NF Gen Web, except for Mary Patience, whose information
was from the All Saints Anglican Cemetery. This is the only recorded information on Mary.
39
The information on John Cabot was obtained from the Newfoundland Heritage Website.
23
The All Saints Anglican Cemetery in Tilton has a headstone marked
‘Chipman’ with no given name. It is a large stone pillar toppled to the ground
with only one side visible. The names of the children and the dates they
died are given below and almost match the children of Joseph. This could be
where they are buried40.

James Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on June 30, 1857
and was baptized by Charles Walsh in the same year on November 15 th. He
married JANE YEATMAN, who was also from Spaniard’s Bay, on November
24, 1883 and Thomas Yeatman and Susannah Chipman witnessed the
marriage. According to the McAlphine’s Directories of 1898 and 1904, he
was a fisherman in Spaniard’s Bay. He died on April 4, 1907 and was buried
on April 15, 1907 with H. Leggo as the Officiator41.

There are five children listed on the tombstone. The ages at death for three of the children
(James, Joseph, and Absalom) match the birth dates of Joseph’s children. The date for Mary Jane
does not match and no birth record exists for a Mary Patience as the daughter of Joseph and Louisa.
I believe that this is where Joseph and Louisa are buried based on the tombstone matching three of
his children.

James’ birth and baptism, his marriage to Jane, and his death and burial were form NF Gen Web.

24. WILLIAM HENRY CHIPMAN (JAMES3, OWEN1)
William Henry Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on June 17,
1859 and was baptized by Charles Walsh in the same year on August 7th. On
November 21, 1882, he married ELIZABETH ANNE BARRETT (b: 1859; d:
May 15, 1933) of Bishop’s Cove. The marriage was performed by A. C. J.
Warren and witnessed by John Chipman and Sarah Barrett and took place in
the St. John’s Church in Bishop’s Cove, Newfoundland. The St. John’s
Church was part of the Upper Island Cove Mission in the Diocese of
Newfoundland.
According to his Marriage Record, he was a fisherman in Spaniard’s
42
Bay . He is also listed as a fisherman in Spaniard’s Bay in the 1898
McAlphine’s Directory. There is a possibility that he was a Coaster and lived
on Water Street in Spaniard’s Bay43. His wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter
of William Barrett, a fisherman.
William is listed in the 1921 Newfoundland Census and the 1924
Voter’s List as being a resident of Spaniard’s Bay. He died on August 19,
1925 and is buried next to his wife in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery
in Spaniard’s Bay. William’s headstone says “husband of Elizabeth” and
Elizabeth’s says “mother”44.

1858 and was baptized by Charles Walsh in the same year on January 24 th.
42
43
44
William’s birth and baptism, marriage to Elizabeth, and cemetery records were from NF Gen Web.
See the Chipman Notes Section as WILLIAM26 could be mistaken for him.
According to William and Elizabeth’s marriage record, they were both 23 in 1882, making their
birth year 1859. In the cemetery records, their ages at death make them both born in 1856.
William’s age, as reported in the cemetery record is 69 in 1925 and Elizabeth as 77 in 1933. I believe
there is an error somewhere in the transcription of the records in either the marriage, cemetery, etc.
45
The children’s births are from the baptism records at NF Gen Web, except Albert, whose birth was
from the 1921 Newfoundland Census.
25
She married JOHN C. GOSSE (b: 1857) on May 10, 1880 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland. Julia Ann Gosse, John Chipman, and Maria Baker witnessed
their marriage. Their children are listed below46.

October 16th. At Upper Cove Island, he married MARY SEYMOUR (b: 1860)
of Spaniard’s Bay on June 1, 1881. William was listed as a fisherman when he
married Mary Seymour. Also, the McAlphine Directory of 1898 and 1904
has him listed as a fisherman47. There is a possibility he was a coaster and
lived on Water Street in Spaniard’s Bay48.

Elizabeth’s birth and baptism and marriage to John Gosse were from NF Gen Web. There are a
John Charles and Elizabeth Gosse and a John and Eliza Jane Gosse. I have used the children of John
Charles and Elizabeth Gosse. The 1921 Newfoundland Census shows a John C. Gosse married to an
Elizabeth with a son named Moses. The dates of birth for this couple almost matches the one
mentioned in the marriage records. However, the month is the same for Elizabeth, but the year is
1859. Elizabeth’s baptism record has her birth year as 1858. I believe this is an error in one of the
records and this is the correct Elizabeth.

William’s birth and baptism and marriage to Mary were from NF Gen Web.

27. ALBERT CHIPMAN (LEVI4, OWEN1)
Albert Chipman was born on July 3, 1862 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and was baptized by W. F. Meek in the same year on August 3rd. He died a
few weeks after his twenty-fourth birthday on July 25, 1886 and was buried
on the 28th. Theo R. Nurse was the Officiator49.
28. PROVIDENCE CHIPMAN (LEVI4, OWEN1)
Providence Chipman was born on August 9, 1864 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and was baptized in the same year on August 18th by W. F.
Earle. The baptism was private and received on October 9, 1864, indicating
that Providence may have died at birth or shortly afterwards50.
29. ABSALOM CHIPMAN (LEVI4, OWEN1)
Absalom Chipman was born on February 3, 1887 in Spaniard’s bay,
Newfoundland and was baptized later that month on the 17th by W. F.
Meek51. A search of the available records in the area does not reveal an
Absalom Chipman that matches him.
30. MOSES CHIPMAN (LEVI4, OWEN1)
Moses Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on August 8, 1870
and was baptized by W. H. Earle on October 2nd of the same year. He
married CAROLINE VOKEY (b: Jul 1871), the daughter of William Vokey, on
November 20, 1895. The wedding was performed by John Godden and
witnessed by James Young, Jonathan Higgins, and Rose Reid52.
The McAlphine Directories of 1898 and 1904 and the 1935/1936
Newfoundland Directory list him as being a fisherman in Spaniard’s Bay. In
1912, his occupation is listed as Section Man for the R. N. Company. By the
time his last child was born in 1915, Moses had changed professions to a
laborer. Also, he is listed on the 1924 Voter’s List in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and the 1921 Newfoundland Census.

Julia Ann Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on October 27,
1872 and was baptized by John M. Noel on November 24, 1872. She married
ISAAC SEYMOUR (b: Jun 1865; d: 1935) in Spaniard’s Bay on November 6,
1893. Isaac was a fisherman and the son of Robert Seymour and Rachel
Smith. William Chipman, Moses Chipman, and Julia Ann Seymour witnessed
their marriage.
Isaac is listed as being a fisherman in the McAlphine Directories of
1894, 1898, and 1904. Also, he is listed on the 1924 Voter’s List in
Spaniard’s Bay. He died in 1935 and is buried in the Anglican Cemetery in
Spaniard’s Bay.
Julia worked as a servant at the time of her marriage. She died in
1932 and is buried in the Anglican Cemetery in Spaniard’s Bay next to her
husband. Her tombstone reads “wife of Isaac erected by Arthur & Mary”54.

32. LEVI CHIPMAN (LEVI4, OWEN1)
Levi Chipman was born on October 23, 1874 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and was baptized later in the year on November 29, 1874 by John M Noel.
According to the Vital Records in the area, Levi changed occupations and
moved a few times throughout his life.
The McAlphine Directories of 1898 and 1904 list him as a fisherman.
By 1915, he had changed professions to a carpenter, as indicated on the
birth record of his son, Albert. He is listed as the head of household on the
1921 Newfoundland Census. In the Newfoundland Directory 1935/1936, he
is listed as being a laborer.
He lived in Spaniard’s Bay, but moved to Tilton, Newfoundland around
1915. By 1924, he returned to Spaniard’s Bay, as indicated by the 1924
Voter’s List and the Newfoundland Directory 1935/1936. Sometime around
1900, he married JEMINA (b: Jul 1880; d: Mar 24, 1958). Levi passed away
on September 22, 1937 and is buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican
Cemetery. Jemina died on March 24, 1958 and she is also buried in the Holy
Redeemer Anglican Cemetery, but her plot is not next to Levi56.

Joseph Kearly Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on April 1,
1855 and W. H. Earle baptized him on April 13, 1855. His mother, Catherine,
and father, Joseph, were not married. A search of the burial records from
1855 to 1907 and the marriage records from 1855 to 1900 in Spaniard’s Bay
failed to produce a Joseph Kearly or a Joseph Chipman58.
56
Levi’s birth and baptism and cemetery records were from NF Gen Web. His marriage to Jemina was
from the 1921 Newfoundland Census.
57
The children’s births were from Barbara McGrath. The name Nellie is sometimes referred to as
Ellen. I used the baptism records for an Ellen Chipman born to a Levi and Jemina Chipman.

mother, Catherine, and father, Thomas Smart was not married. A search of
the burial records from 1859 to 1907 and the marriage records from 1859
to 1900 in Spaniard’s Bay failed to produce a Thomas Smart or a Thomas
Chipman59.

William Nathaniel Chipman was born on January 21, 1884 in Spaniard’s Bay,

children together before she passed away sometime after 191460.

HEBERT, b: Nov 8, 1914.
According to the 1921 Newfoundland Census, he was remarried to (2)
FRANCES (b: Aug 1897) from Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. She could have
gone by ‘Emily’ or perhaps William was remarried for a third time. It is
presumed that he was a fisherman, as most of the men in Spaniard’s Bay
were, until his age prevented him from continuing.
The 1935/1936
Newfoundland Directory has two Williams listed. The first is a fisherman
and the second is a laborer. Since there is no age given for either of the
Williams, it is assumed that he is the laborer as he would be 51 at the time
of its publication and being a fisherman would be the more arduous of the
two. Also, he is listed on the 1924 Voter’s List in Spaniard’s Bay.
He died on April 7, 1945 and is buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican
Cemetery in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland. His tombstone states “Erected
by son Maxwell and wife Emily”. The birth date on the tombstone matches
his baptism record, but the only existence of his marriage to Emily is from
this tombstone. The tombstone also uncovers another son, Maxwell, whose
birth record cannot be found at this time62.
60
In the Spaniard’s Bay area there are no other Williams during this time period that could be the
father of Mary, Priscilla, and Herbert. Therefore it is assumed that he was married to Sarah, even
though a marriage record could not be found.

The children were obtained from two sources. Susie is from the 1921 Newfoundland Census and

43. MARTHA CHIPMAN (LEVI11, OWEN2, OWEN1)
Martha Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on March 31,
1884 and Theo Nurse baptized her on April 20, 188473.
No other
information regarding her can be obtained at this time.
44. ABSALOM GOSSE CHIPMAN (LEVI11, OWEN2, OWEN1)
Absalom Gosse Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on
January 11, 1887 and Theo Nurse baptized him on February 4, 188774. Since
the majority of the people in Newfoundland, including the Chipmans, were
fishermen, it’s safe to assume that he was one until he left. Sometime
around 1910 to 1913, he left Newfoundland and came to the United States.
It is possible that he came with his brother, John Charles Chipman and they
may have entered through the port in Boston, Massachusetts.

In America, Absalom had the opportunity for a new life that was not
available to him in Newfoundland. Instead of being a fisherman, like most of
the people in his family, he became a carpenter. He lived on Broadway
Street until he married JANE A. NORMAN (b: 1888), who also emigrated
from Newfoundland. Jane was from Bay Robert’s, Newfoundland, which is a
community a few miles from Spaniard’s Bay. The two of them were married
in Lynn, Massachusetts on February 24, 191375.
Absalom was a skillful carpenter and he used his talents to improve
the life of the family he was building. His talent as a carpenter was diverse
and there was no task too difficult for him. His grandson, Harley Warren,
remembers the wooden toys he would make every Christmas and give them
away as gifts. On a grander scale, he built a shingled house on 99 Waverly
Street in Arlington, Massachusetts, where he and Jane lived until they
passed away. Also, they would use this home to raise four children and one
grandchild. He also helped build other homes, including the house across the
street. According to Absalom’s Social Security Application, he worked at
the George B. H. Macomber Co. in Boston, a building contractor, and he had
to take the trolley into the city each day76.

He was described as a “short, stocky, bad-tempered, lovable old man”,
who had a fondness for beer. He was hard working and had tattoos on both
forearms. He had a dislike for Catholics, Jews, and Blacks, but that was how
he was raised. He particularly had a problem with Catholics and how they,
according to him, could do whatever they wanted and at the end of the week
be forgiven after they confessed. Despite his aversion with Catholics, he
was a good friend with the Irish in the neighborhood, who were Catholic77.
When Absalom would drink he would dance to Irish music that he and
his friends played on an accordion. At times, his fondness for beer would
get him trouble with Jane. For the most part she did not mind his drinking
until he went on one of his drunken rampages and then she would find all the
beer he had hidden and pour them down the drain and break all the bottles.
During this time, Arlington was a dry town and Absalom had to walk more
than two miles to Bowmen’s Liquor Store at the town limit to buy his beer.
There he would buy the big quarts of Baletine’s Ale and carry them home in a
leather sack. On his way home he would stop at the Sweeney’s house. When
he knew that Jane had left home he would sneak in the house and hide his
beer. He had about 20 to 30 different places and there they would stay
until he drank them or Jane poured them out78. Absalom was quite a
character and his eldest daughter; Elizabeth retells an amusing story about
him on Christmas.
I was 2 years old and it was Christmas. The tree
was in a corner in the dining room with the
ornaments in boxes on the floor. My mother had
given my father a large brown leather bag and sent
him to the store to buy a turkey. When he came
home several hours later he was drunk and the bag
contained a big salt codfish. My mother was so
angry she hit him in the head with the little coal
shovel from the stove and he marched into the
dining room and stamped on all the boxes, ruining
the ornaments.
My mother went to Aunt Jennie Goss in a near
house who helped with Christmas dinner. Every

Christmas after that was a farce. My father
always spoiled it by his words or his actions and
seemed to be doing it deliberately. In fact, one
Christmas he made the remark that “If you think
you are going to have a nice Christmas – forget
it!”79
Despite his actions on Christmas, he was a devoted family man and provided
for them well, even on Christmas.
Family was a central part of Absalom’s life. During the Depression he
more than provided for his family with his hard work and love. There wasn’t
a day that went by when the family did not have food on the table. They
would always have a little meat that Absalom would pick up on his way home
from work. Also, he took care of his children and loved them well. When
they were kids, he would make animal noises with his pipe to entertain them
and create wonderful wooden toys for them to play with. Absalom’s hard
work and love, coupled with Jane’s vegetable garden keep the family well
feed and cared for during an arduous time in American history.
Absalom not only cared for his family in America, but also would help
his family in Newfoundland. When his brother Owen was killed, Absalom
returned to Newfoundland to help with the funeral arrangements. When
Jane’s brother, Samuel, was murdered in Boston, Absalom took his wife in
for a short time80. The most touching and best example of Absalom’s love
for his family occurred when his youngest brother, John Charles Chipman,
was killed in France in the closing days of World War I. Absalom named his
only son after his fallen brother. In the Massachusetts area, relatives that
emigrated from Newfoundland would often visit his home. He loved his
family and raised his children well, including his first grandson, Harley Alvin
Warren.
Jane was a wonderful woman who was the backbone of the family. She
raised her children right and taught them to be polite and courteous. Her
vegetable garden kept food on the table during hard times and she was
amazing in the kitchen. Harley recalls how Jane could stretch a little bit of
food and make a whole meal for the entire family. He also remembers,
coming home years after she passed away and opening the jams and jellies
79
From a letter written by Elizabeth to the Author.
Jane’s brother Samuel was stabbed in Boston while he was waiting in line for his paycheck around
1915. Elizabeth Ferguson, Absalom’s daughter, told the story to me. She recalls Absalom carrying her
across the kitchen floor as it was cold and she had no shoes on.

she had preserved and they were as fresh as the day she made them. Jane
cared for her children in a loving a nurturing way. When the winter months
came around and the house would get cold, she would heat up stones and
wrapped them in blankets and place them at the feet of her children as they
slept. She was the first to rise every morning and started the stove to get
the heat circulating in the house and the breakfast started for the family.
She was truly an amazing woman, wife, and mother.
Jane Chipman in her Garden
Jane Chipman or “Jennie” as her family
affectionately called her maintained a vegetable
garden at her home in Arlington, Massachusetts.
She could make miracles in the kitchen and during
the Depression; her garden was sometimes the
family’s only source of food.

Sometime in 1955, Jane passed away, leaving Absalom alone as the
family he raised so well had long since moved out of his home. In a letter to
his daughter, Elizabeth, dated November 20, 1958, he writes, “Betty I don’t
see any body[.] I am all alone looking at the ceiling all night – no one to talk
to[.]” His family would write and keep in touch, but he would die alone in
June of 1969. He left in his will that his four children and grandson, Harley,
share his earthly possessions equally (A copy of the will is provided in the
38
Appendix). He was greatly missed and mourned by his family at the home he
built some fifty years before his death81.

--- --- --- --- --ARLINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS
Arlington, Massachusetts became the root of the tree where our
Newfoundland ancestors spread their limbs across America. The town was
originally part of Cambridge, Massachusetts and was first settled in the
1630s. The stream that ran through it was called Menotomy and that was
the name of the area in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, but it
was officially known as the Northwest or Second Parish of Cambridge. In
1807, the area had enough of a population to become a separate town and
took the name West Cambridge. After the Civil War in 1867 to honor the
dead soldiers and to further distinguish itself from its parent community
the name was changed to Arlington82. John F. Crowley gives statistical data
on the population growth of the town83. (See Table 1)
81
The description of Absalom and Jane were obtained through interviews with Elizabeth Ferguson and
Harley Warren.
82
The Arlington Historical Society has a web page and it has an article titled “Mentomy”. The
information about the history of the naming of Arlington is contained here.
83
This data was built using the information contained within Stories of Early 20th Century Life, page
vii.
39
It was during the boom years of 1915 through 1930 that Absalom
made Arlington his home. In that twenty-year period, the town grew at an
astonishing rate of over 250%. This is greater than any other twenty-year
period in the town's history.

Owen Chipman was born on March 10, 1899 in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
and J. Arthur Evans baptized him on April 7, 1889. He worked at the
American Thread Company Plant, presumably in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland.
Owen died in the St. Joseph’s Hospital in 1916 from injuries he suffered
while working at the American Thread Company's plant.
The article
regarding his death was published in the Guardian, a newspaper in Bay
Roberts, Newfoundland, on August 18, 191684.
OWEN CHIPMAN who was injured by the falling of

Melina Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on July 12, 1891
and was baptized by J. Arthur Evans on the following day. According to the
article that appeared in the Guardian Newspaper on the death of her
brother, Owen, she married a man with the surname ‘Sanderson’85. The 1921
Newfoundland Census of Shearstown has a HENRY SAUNDERS (b: Oct
1890) married to a Melina from Spaniard's Bay. Henry is listed on the 1924
Voter's List in Shearstown and the 1935/1936 Newfoundland Directory as a
Laborer and the son of "J"86.

--- --- --- --- --THE S. S. SOUTHERN CROSS
The S. S. Southern Cross was built in Arendal, Norway in 1886 and
served as a Norwegian whaler for eleven years, under the name, Pollux. In
1898, she was bought by the explorer, Carstens Borchgrevink and outfitted
with new engines and renamed as the S. S. Southern Cross. She set sail on
her first Antarctic expedition on December 19, 1898 and made marine
history the following year by going though the Great Ice Barrier and the
unexplored Ross Sea. Later, the ship was sold to Daniel Murray and Thomas
Crawford, both of Glasgow, Scotland and outfitted by Johnston Baine and
commanded by Darius Blandford, as the ship sailed on the Newfoundland
Seal Hunt in 1901. It was the first to arrive back in port with a full load
(26,563 pelts) and for the next 14 years the ship continued to sail on the
Seal Hunt.

In the Spring of 1914, the S. S. Southern Cross, with George Clarke
of Brigus, Newfoundland, in command, sailed to the Gulf of St. Lawrence
with a crew of 173.
The crew was mostly made up of young and
inexperienced sealers recruited from Conception Bay, Newfoundland. The
majority of the crew were single and under the age of twenty-five. This
would be the last voyage of the S. S. Southern Cross.
Captain Clarke was a fierce competitor for the ‘Silk Flag’, which was a
status symbol given to the first ship to return to St. John’s with a full load
of seal skins or pelts.
The ship was not equipped with radio communications, so it’s course
has to be reconstructed by other ships’ wireless messages and visual
sightings. The crew left St. John’s on March 12, 1914 and it was estimated
that they had between 17,000 to 25,000 pelts when they began the journey
home. According to eyewitnesses the ship was heavily laden in the water.
Clarke plotted a course down the western side of Newfoundland, around
Cape Ray. A report from Channel/Port aux Basques, dated March 29, 1914
at 6:30 PM, claims the ship passed by with all it’s flags flying as it raced
towards St. John’s.
The S. S. Southern Cross and her crew of 173 was last scene on March 31, 1914.
Photograph 10
43
The coastal steamer, Portia, commanded by Captain Thomas J. Connors
reported the next and final sighting of the S. S. Southern Cross on March
31, 1914 at 11:00 AM. The Southern Cross was reported as being five miles
west-southwest of Cape Pine, on the southern end of the Avalon Peninsula.
Connors stated that a storm had come up and the seas were high. High
winds and heavy snow had reduced visibility to nearly zero, but the Southern
Cross, low in the water, answered the Portia’s whistle. Afterwards, Connors
stated that he believed the Southern Cross was heading for the sheltered
waters of St. Mary’s Bay to wait out the storm.
On April 3rd, the S. S. Kyle and later joined by other vessels was
dispatched to search for the Southern Cross, but 20 days later the sealer
was officially declared lost. There were two sightings of wreckage reported
that may have been the remains of the sealer. The Bloodhound, who
reported a large mass of floating debris ninety miles south-southwest of
Cape Boyle, saw the first. The debris was never positively identified. The
second report of wreckage came in the summer of 1914, as wreckage, planks,
and seal pelts were washed onshore in Ireland.
Again, nothing was
confirmed.
The lost of S. S. Southern Cross was the greatest loss of life in any
Newfoundland Disaster. The intensity of the storm, inexperienced crew, the
ship laden with pelts, and the low-mounted engines were all contributing
factors for the disaster. The Sealing Commission appointed to investigate
the disappearance of the Southern Cross could only attribute the disaster
to “an act of god”. A complete listing of the crew is in the Appendix89.

Henry Chipman was born on November 14, 1896 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and was baptized by S. A. Dawson on December 4, 1896. He
and his wife, WINNIFRED (b; Jul 1897), are listed as part of his father’s
household on the 1921 Newfoundland Census in Spaniard’s Bay. She was
from Tilton and no other information for her is found. There are two
listings for a Henry Chipman after the 1921 Newfoundland Census. The first

49. JOHN CHARLES CHIPMAN (LEVI11, OWEN2, OWEN1)
John Charles Chipman was born on October 30, 1898 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland and was baptized by T. P. Quintin at the Holy Redeemer
Anglican Church on November 25, 1898. He may have immigrated to the
United States with his brother, Absalom, before he enlisted in the United
States Army during World War I91.
In the waning days of the war, John was killed in action at Soissons,
France on July 19, 1918. His body laid in Europe for almost three years until
it was brought back to Spaniard’s Bay and laid to rest in the Holy Redeemer
Anglican Cemetery. An article appeared in the St. John’s Daily News on May
23, 1921 and gives the details of John’s death.
By the S. S. Rosalind to-day the body of Pte.
Chipman, who gallantly fought in the ranks of the
American army for his motherland and adopted
country, arrived by the S. S. Rosalind. He fell at
the last engagement in which American troops

Mr. Levi Chipman has arrived in town to accompany
the remains of his brave boy to his native
Spaniard’s Bay. At 4 p.m., the G.W.V.A. with many
citizens probably including the American Consul
and staff will assemble at Harvey’s Pier, to conduct
the remains to the Railway Station. At Spaniard’s
Bay to-night and tomorrow the body will rest in the
church, at which the friends and local veterans will
assemble to pay the last tributes and the last
honors to one who by his courage and devotion has

convey the hero to his last resting place. Mr. Levi
Chipman has passed through deep waters. In the
spring of 1914 one boy was lost in the Southern
Cross, and another was killed in the Navy in the
earlier months of the war. To him and his family
the sympathy of the public will be generally
extended. The funeral arrangements are in charge
of undertaker Carnell. The public is asked to
attend the obsequies at the wharf at 4 p.m. Any
one who wish to send wreaths to adorn the casket
may send them to the G. W. V. A. office, where
they will be taken care of. The train leaves for
Spaniard’s Bay at 6 p.m92.
The only information available regarding the life of John, refers to his
death in World War I. The following is from Eric Martin Gosse’s, The
Settling of Spaniard’s Bay.
More than 45 youths from Spaniard’s Bay enlisted
in the British Armed Forces and served in the
Royal Navy or the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
Thirteen of these were killed in action, most of
them falling on the western front. Private John
Chipman, who joined the United States Army, was
killed in action on the western front. His body was
taken from France and brought home for burial in
the local Anglican Cemetery93.
John is also listed in the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance. Absalom
Gosse, John's brother, named his only son, John Charles Chipman in his
memory. His tombstone states, "Erected by Levi in honor of his son”.

She spent her childhood years living in Arlington,
Massachusetts at the house her father built at 99 Waverly Street. On the
1920 United States Census, she is listed as being 13 years old and part of
Absalom’s household.
Elizabeth W. Chipman
She was the oldest of the four
children of Absalom and Jane
Chipman. Growing up was tough for
‘Betty’ as she skipped two grades in
school. Friends were hard to come
by because she was younger than the
other students.
She played the
piano and the ukulele and loved to
write poetry. See Appendix C.

At the age of 15, she met HARLEY FRANK WARREN (b: Jul 16, 1906;

affectionate” and he had a way of charming women. Elizabeth quickly fell
for him and they were married at the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in
Lynn, Massachusetts. The same church that her mother and father were
wed, but they did not know it at the time.
Elizabeth graduated from Arlington High School on June 18, 1930 and
two months later and six days shy of her 17th birthday, she had the first of
four children with Harley179. Their marriage was not a happy one, as
Elizabeth had to leave the children with different relatives, as Harley did
not support her or the children. Also, Harley was not a faithful husband. He
eventually left Elizabeth for another woman, Arvilla Lucille Merrill. On
March 10, 1936, Elizabeth was granted a divorce in the State of Maine. The
divorce decree states that Harley “grossly or wantonly and cruelly refuses
or neglects to provide suitable maintenance for her”180.

Harley Frank Warren
The picture was taken sometime in the 1930s. Harley
was from Bridgton, Maine, where he worked as a Millman
until he enlisted in the United States Naval Reserves on
November 3, 1927. After a three-year tour, he received
an Honorable Discharge. It was during this time he met
Elizabeth Chipman, who he later married. During his
marriage to Elizabeth, he met another woman named
Arvilla Lucille Merrill and she became pregnant with his
son, Donald, the same time Elizabeth was pregnant with
Barry. He left Elizabeth for Arvilla and moved to
Bridgton, Maine, where they later married.
His
infidelity in his first marriage would repeat itself in his
second. He left Arvilla to marry a Marie Scarlet, but
Arvilla would not give him a divorce and Harley died
married to Arvilla but living with Marie.

After her divorce to Harley, Elizabeth met JOHN STAFFORD
FERGUSON (b: Jul 8, 1895; d: Jun 8, 1954) at his lodge in Bridgton, Maine.
With John, she found a man that would love and care for her the way a
woman should be treated. They were married on August 14, 1936. Strangely
she and John would become friends with Harley and Arvilla and even play
‘Bridge’ with them on occasions. John gave the family a stable income, but

most importantly he accepted her whole heartily and began to raise her
children as his own. One by one the children would start living with
Elizabeth and John, starting with Norman, then Arlene and finally around
1942 the last of the children, Harley. They lived on Summit Road in
Elizabeth, New Jersey until they bought a home across the town at 44
Princeton Road on August 1, 1946 for the sum of $7,500. On June 8, 1954,
John died after a two-week battle with brain neoplasm at the Alexian
Brothers Hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

John’s death left Elizabeth alone, but he had the foresight to make
sure she was financially secure. John had invested money in shares of
Standard Oil, where he worked as a Supervisor of Instrument Drafting and
his Will left her everything. To supplement her income, she worked at
Butler Engineering Association, Incorporated as the Secretary to the
President for 28 years. Additionally, she earned her Real Estate License on
May 31, 1955.

In 1989, she sold her house at 44 Princeton Road for $135,000 and
moved to Davie, Florida, where she bought a new home at 8011 Southwest
29th Street. She lived there for the remainder of her life until she died on
January 10, 2001. Her only living son, Harley Warren, spread her ashes
across the pond behind her house as per her request.
Throughout her life Elizabeth could be difficult to get along with,
particularly with her family. For years after her children left, with the
exception of Norman, she did not communicate with them. In fact, the
bitterness of the family extended to her daughter Arlene passing away and
her not wanting to speak to her mother, despite living only a few miles away.
This had a significant effect on Elizabeth and she tried to make amends with
her family. When she passed away in 2001, the majority of her children and
grandchildren had reconciled.
She was living in Davie, Broward County,
Florida.

MCELROY. His father was born in New York and worked as a Bookkeeper
and his mother was from Ireland182. He was taught good manners and his
family was very formal. John worked as a Salesman before World War I.
His family values made him answer the call of his country and enlist in the
United States Army on August 13, 1917.
During the war, John was promoted to Sergeant 1st Class and was
assigned to Company B of the 3rd Field Signal Battalion. He did not qualify as
a Marksman, but had ‘good’ horsemanship and ‘excellent’ character. Also, he
participated in the two deciding battles of the war: St. Mihiel and the
Meuse-Argonne Offensive183.
The St. Mihiel salient was a well-defended bulge in the German line
that prevented the Allies from advancing. General Pershing massed his
troops around St. Mihiel and the German commanders began a slow
withdrawal as they sensed the impending attack. On September 12, 1918,
the Americans attacked, supported by British and French artillery. The
retreating Germans were easily defeated and after a day of fighting the
Americans had captured the salient and 15,000 German troops. The victory
was the first by the Americans in the war and lead to the deciding
engagement of World War I.
Sergeant First Class John Stafford Ferguson
John enlisted in the United States Army on
August 13, 1917. He went to France during
World War I and participated in the two
deciding battles of the war: St. Mihiel and the
Meuse-Argonne Offensive. According to his
Enlistment Record, he was assigned to Company
B of the 3rd Field Signal Battalion and had
‘excellent’ character and ‘good’ horsemanship
skills. He was discharged on April 26, 1919 at
Camp Upton, New York.

The Meuse-Argonne Offensive was the largest engagement fought by
the United States troops in the war. The fighting began on September 26,
1918 and the Americans made good progress the first few days in all areas
except in the Argonne region. The stubborn fighting by the Germans slowed
the American’s progress. Late in October, General Pershing flanked the
Argonne forest and on November 2, 1918 they overran a strong German line
extending from Grand Pre to the Meuse River. Then the Americans overtook
the German supply center at Buzancy and the Germans fell back, giving them
no opportunity to construct new defenses. On November 7, 1918 the
Americans arrived at the heights overlooking the Sedan. The Germans knew
that defeat was inevitable and signed the Armistice on November 11, 1918.
After the war the Americans troops returned and John was given an
honorable discharge at Camp Upton, New York on April 26, 1919. Upon
leaving the Army, John went to Bridgton, Maine to run the Fergus
Huntington Lodge on Long Lake, which he owned. This is where he met
Elizabeth and they were later wed on August 14, 1936. They lived on Summit
Road in Elizabeth, New Jersey until they bought a home at 44 Princeton
Road in Elizabeth, New Jersey on August 1, 1946.
Sometime after 1945, his mother passed away and left him with a
considerable amount of stocks. The following is taken from her Last Will
and Testament:
2.
To my Son John Stafford Ferguson all my
stocks.
20 shares Standard Oil of N.J.
20 Penn. R. R.
25 Southern Pac. R. R.
70 shares of Sacomy Vac.
10 shares of American Bank Note
2 shares of Natural Gas
The Haviland China Dinner Set, and all my
glassware in [the] China Closet 17 pieces[,] 6
glasses, 6 comports and dish[.] My ship picture
and blue and white dish with gold band[.]
He used this inheritance and the money he invested in Standard Oil to build
a comfortable life for his new family.
70
John was the Supervisor of Instrument Drafting at Standard Oil
Development in Linden, New Jersey. Also, he taught Engineering and
Drafting at the Edison Vocational School. A letter of recommendation
stated that John’s “knowledge of mechanics, mechanical drawing, and the
sciences associated with this trade were exceptional. I might classify his
abilities as a teacher in the upper quartile.” He received a Temporary
Vocational Teacher’s License on January 24, 1938 and on July 16, 1946.
John was successful in almost every endeavor.
John was a handsome man with brown hair and brown eyes with a
ruddy complexion and came from a well-to-do family. He stood a little less
than six feet tall and had excellent character. Also, he carried himself in a
stern and confident manner. His stepchildren treated him with respect and
admiration and were careful not to defy his authority. His wife, Elizabeth,
called him the ‘love of her life’ and he felt the same about her. On his
deathbed, he blinked out the words to her “I love you” from a chart near the
bed. He was a successful man who commanded the respect of others. John
passed away on June 8, 1954 in the Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elizabeth,
New Jersey, after a two-week battle with brain neoplasm. At his bedside
when he died was Harley A. Warren, his stepson. His wife spread his ashes
across Long Lake in Maine.

birthday and was given the middle name ‘Washington’ in honor of the former
President, but she did not like the name. She is listed as being a part of her
father’s household on the 1930 United States Census. It is presumed that
she attended and graduated from Arlington High School in Massachusetts.

A rather funny story regarding Martha
and her father, Absalom, was retold
years later in an interview with her
sister, Elizabeth.
One summer, her
brother, John, returned for a few days
from the Navy. He brought with him a
friend, who was an Officer in a foreign
Navy. Martha was quite taken with the
young man and wanted to impress him by
making breakfast one morning. As she
was frying the eggs, Absalom keep
mumbling to himself that he would never
condone his daughter dating some
foreigner. As he persisted in his insults,
Martha became so infuriated that she
threw the pan across the room and hit
the wall a few feet by Absalom’s head
and then stormed out of the kitchen.
The photograph to the left shows a very
lighter side of Martha.

Martha loved to be the center of attention and according to her
nephew, Harley she thought she knew everything. She married JOHN KENT
and they had a daughter. She was named the Executrix for the will of her
father, Absalom.
She passed away in July of 1985 and according to the Social Security

graduated from Arlington High School in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Her nephew, Harley, described her as being a sweetheart that was
very caring and affectionate to her nephews and niece. She was the Maid of
Honor in at least two of her friends’ weddings. Her family was important
and she kept a rather large family photo album. She was a talented Ice
Skater and toured professionally for a number of years. Her friends
referred to her as “Chippy”.

134. JOHN
CHARLES CHIPMAN
(ABSALOM43,
LEVI11,
OWEN2,
OWEN1)
John Charles Chipman was born in Allston, Massachusetts on November 24,
1918. He was named in honor of his Uncle, who was killed in the waning days
of World War I. His life is best documented by the pamphlet that was
passed out at his funeral and written by his son, David and daughter, Sandy.
John loved everything about the game of golf. At
the age of 10, he worked as a caddy at a local
country club. On the course one day, John found a
valuable wedding ring, one that held great
sentimental value for one of the members. He
returned it to the club office. As a result, John
was unanimously voted an honorary member of the
club in recognition of his admirable character and
honesty. The members also collected extra clubs
to put together a full set and presented him along
with course privileges in the off hours. Needless
to say, he became hooked on golf. At the age of
12, John was paired in the local tournament with a
15 year old hot shot golfer, Paul Richmond.
According to Paul, “This kid cleaned my clock and
left me speechless!” John won the game, but the
true prize occurred a few years later when he met
Paul’s sister, Virginia Richmond, who would later
become his wife of 54 years.
In addition to golf, John loved the sport of hockey
and became an outstanding competitor on the ice.
184
The previous marriage of Ethel is from a conversation with her sister, Elizabeth.
74
In High School, he was voted Captain of both the
hockey and golf teams. When not on the ice or the
links, he honed his skills in the games of cards,
cribbage, and billiards.
Being the tenacious
competitor that he was, always taking time to
calculate the best move, he became affectionately
known as “Percentage Chipman.”
John Charles Chipman
The only son of Absalom and Jane
Chipman, John was named after his
Uncle, who was killed in the waning days
of World War I. The picture is believed
to be when he was in High School. John
was a standout athlete in both Hockey
and Golf and was the Captain of both
teams in High School.

Photo 23
John’s driving desire to achieve led him to earn and
pay for tuition and expenses every year at
Northeastern University through a work/study
plan supplemented by spare time work during the
summers. While majoring in Chemical Engineering,
John was an avid participant in a variety of extra
curricular activities in both academic and athletic
arenas. For every year he attended college he held
a class leadership position. In sports, he was a 3year Varsity Hockey player, voted Captain and
Most Valuable Player, and he had the prestigious
honor of chairing the Junior Prom Committee. In
75
recognition of his overall achievements at
Northeastern University, John was a recipient of
the coveted Kontoff Trophy which is awarded
annually to a senior who has demonstrated
outstanding athletic and academic achievement. In
addition, he was also selected for two consecutive
years to be in the publication of “Who’s Who
Among Students in American Universities and
Colleges.”
3-Year Letterman John Charles Chipman
John lettered in Hockey at Northeastern
University from 1938 to 1941. He was the
Team Captain during his senior year of 1940 to
1941. In a season that the Huskies went 6-3,
they outscored their opponents by a margin of
68 to 40. John honed his Ice Hockey skills on
Spy Pond, the same place his sister developed
her Figure Skating skills. See Appendix D.
(Photo from Author's Private Collection)
Photo 24
John was always a man who knew where he was
going and what he wanted to do. In the year of
1942, within the same week, John graduated from
college, married Virginia Richmond, and was
commissioned as an officer in the Navy. During his
four-year Navy career, he was assigned as an
officer/instructor in the Fleet Service Schools
responsible for the chemical and mechanical
76
intricacies of all torpedoes. He was subsequently
assigned highly classified duty with the Submarine
Force in the South Pacific as a Special Weapons
Officer, and for his efforts was awarded a special
commendation by the Chief of Naval Operations.
After the war, John focused his career as a
pioneer in the field of Air Quality Control,
primarily working to combat the smog problem in
the Los Angeles Basin.
John devised original
procedures to test automotive emissions and set
the basis for today’s standards. He took personal
enjoyment in the privilege of working with Henry
Ford. Other highlights for him during the 1940s
include the birth of his daughter Sandra and
winning the Pasadena City Golf Championship.
After working with Air Quality Control for the
County, John ultimately served as the Supervising
Engineer for the Air Resources Board for the
State of California.
In the 1950s, three sons were born: Paul, David,
and John. He raised all of his children to value
education, a sense of fairness, to treat others with
respect and sensitivity, while each was encouraged
to give his/her best effort in all endeavors,
whatever they may be. All this was in addition to
changing diapers, fixing boo-boos, reading stories,
teaching everyone how to throw and catch a ball,
helping with homework, and, of course, teaching
everyone how to properly swing a golf club.
Meanwhile, back to his passion for golf… While his
love and desire for the game of golf once earned
him a handicap of two, those days seemed to be
far behind him near the age of 50. Recharging
confidence in his game and his competitive spirit,
he made up his mind to take on the 1968 Green
77
River Club Championship Tournament with all
intents of winning. To make a long story short,
after advancing three consecutive rounds into the
36-hole final round, he lost by three holes with two
to play – an amazing comeback and only one of many
in his lifetime.
In 1976, while playing golf, John suffered a
debilitating stroke, one which the neurosurgeons
were amazed to see him survive. This event forced
his retirement and rendered him unable to do many
things. After extraordinary mental and physical
self-therapy, he achieved levels of recovery that,
once again, astounded the medical profession. He
re-established his ability to communicate verbally
and to perform very difficult tasks.
These
included handwriting with his non-dominant hand,
self-dressing, the one-handed tying of his shoe
laces, and re-learning to drive his automobile.
Needless to say, this setback put a crimp in his
golf game. But, through discipline and hard work,
he reconfigured his game so that he, once again
became a force to be reckoned with on the course.
With only the use of his left arm, and his
competitive spirit, he was back to “cleaning the
clocks” of his opponents. This, then, amazed the
golf world too.
With the entrance of grandchildren into his life,
John took delight in the simple pleasures that they
offered. He held a special place in his heart for
his five grandchildren – Cori, Noelle, Thomas,
Johnny, and April.
To those who survive him, family or friends, John
Charles Chipman will be remembered in many
special ways: to some – as a remarkable inspiration;
to others – as a hero; to others – for his
78
generosity; to others – it’s that smile of his they’ll
remember.
But, perhaps, to most, he’ll be
remembered as simply, a good man.
John and Virginia Chipman
When John graduated from Northeastern
University with a degree in Chemical
Engineering, he married Virginia Richmond,
who he met through her brother, Paul. Also,
shortly
after
graduation,
John
was
commissioned in the United States Navy. He
served as a 'Submariner' in the South
Pacific during World War II.
(Photo from Author's Private Collection)
Photo 25
It is assumed that he graduated from Arlington High School, like his
sister, Elizabeth, before he attended Northeastern University.
At
Northeastern University, John excelled in his studies and athletics. He was
a three-year letterman in Hockey and the team captain his senior year. He
majored in Chemical Engineering and was awarded the Kontoff Trophy for
academic and athletic achievements.
He graduated from Northeastern University in 1942 and shortly
afterwards he married Virginia Richmond and was commissioned as an Ensign
in the United States Navy. As a Submariner, he was assigned to the South
Pacific during World War II. After four years, he left the Naval Service
and settled in the Los Angeles area of California.
In Los Angeles, which is known for its smog problems, John worked as
an Air Quality Control Engineer. His work was the basis that set the
standard for years in the Los Angeles area. Eventually he would serve as the
Supervising Engineer for the Air Resources Board of the State of California.
Additionally, his passion for hockey and golf would follow him. It is
believed that he played Minor League Hockey under the name ‘Jack Chipman’
79
and his golf prowess earned him the Pasadena City Golf Championship. He
was successful in life, an accomplished athlete, and an outstanding
parent/grandparent when he passed away on June 10, 2001, leaving behind
four children and several grandchildren.

135. ROBERT CHIPMAN (ROBERT56, EDWARD15, OWEN2, OWEN1)
Robert Chipman was born in 1918 presumably in Cambridge, Middlesex
County, Massachusetts as he is listed on the 1930 United States Census as
part of his father’s household. Sometime during World War II, he joined
the Army and as a Corporal was part of the India China Air Transport
80
Command. He was later listed as ‘Missing in Action’ and was officially
declared dead on June 14, 1944185.
136. CLARK CHIPMAN (ROBERT56, EDWARD15, OWEN2, OWEN1)
Clark Chipman was born in 1926 presumably in Cambridge, Middlesex County,
Massachusetts.
He is listed on the 1930 United States Census in
Massachusetts as part of his father’s household186.

139. DORIS CHIPMAN (WILLIS60, EDWARD15, OWEN2, OWEN1)
Doris Chipman was born presumably in Cambridge, Middlesex County,
Massachusetts in 1924. She is listed as part of her father’s household on
the 1930 United States Census in Massachusetts. No other information
regarding her can be found at this time189.
185
The 1930 United States Census shows six Robert Chipmans from Massachusetts that could be the
man who is listed as missing during World War II. A search of the Social Security Death Index
concludes that three of the men died at a later date. Out of the remaining three Robert Chipmans, I
believe that he is the one that was listed as “Missing in Action” as the person is a Corporal. The other
two are older and may have been a higher rank.

THE LINEAGE OF JOHN CHIPMAN
The lineage of John Chipman is included even though there is no direct
evidence to connect him to Owen Chipman. The Chipman family was one of
the founders of Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland and therefore it is believed
that John is somehow related to Owen Chipman and they both are somehow
related to the William Chipman of Mint Cove.

JOHN CHIPMAN
John Chipman was born presumably in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland and he

SECOND GENERATION OF JOHN CHIPMAN

WILLIAM CHIPMAN (JOHN1)
William Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on September 10,
1845 and was baptized by J. Griffin on March 21st of the same year. He had
a child with HANNAH CLIFFORD out of wedlock before he married
ELIZABETH GREELY2.
Sometime around 1885, he moved to Tilton,
Newfoundland.

JAMES CHIPMAN (JOHN1)
James Chipman was born on November 24, 1846 in Spaniard’s Bay,
Newfoundland. W. H. Taylor baptized him on February 28, 1847. He
married (1) MARY GOSSE (d: Bef 1884) of Spaniard’s Bay at the Holy
Trinity Church in Spaniard’s Bay. Richard Gosse, Edgar Gosse, and Lucinda
Chipman witnessed the marriage. Their marriage was brief as Mary died
sometime after 1881 and before 1884.

I believe that this is the William that had a child with Hannah and married Elizabeth as the only
other William would be William24 and William26. These two Williams both would be 14 at the birth of
Mary Ann and 16 at the time of marriage to Elizabeth.
3
The children were from NF Gen Web, except for James who was provided by Barbara McGrath.
85
James remarried to (2) MARY JANE BARRETT (b: 1856; d: Sep 12,
1917) of Bishop’s Cove, Newfoundland on May 17, 1883. She was the
daughter of Israel Barrett, a fisherman. John Chipman and Henry Crow
witnessed the marriage. Although no death record on Hannah can be found,
the marriage record indicates that James was a widower, which adds to the
certainty that he was the one who married Mary4. He and Mary lived in
Tilton, Newfoundland as indicated by the birth records of their children.
The 1871 Lovell’s Directory of Spaniard’s Bay has James listed as
being a fisherman, as does the birth records for his children. The 1894
McAlphine’s Directory, has a James Chipman living in Tilton and working as a
Planter. In 1895, Mary immigrated to the United States on the steamship
“Olivette”, while it appears that James may have stayed in Newfoundland for
a short time. On June of 1896, James immigrated to the United States on
the steamship “Olivette” with the children from Halifax, Nova Scotia5. A
search in the 1910 United States Census in Massachusetts did not produce a
James Chipman born around 1846.

was from Barbara McGrath.

The information regarding their immigration to the United States is from a Genealogy written by a

The SS Olivette
The SS Olivette was a Passenger
Liner and part of the Peninsular and
Occidental S. S. Company Line. It had
a tonnage of 1,678.
During the
Spanish-American War, the ship was
converted to a Hospital Ship. This
photo was taken between 1880 and
1901.

In 1916, Mary Jane returned to Spaniard’s Bay for a visit. In the
United States, she was living at 10 Fairmont Avenue in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. She died on September 12, 1917 in the Cambridge City
Hospital from Perforation of Duodenum, Gall Stones (Amputation of gall
bladder and surgical shock). She was buried on September 15, 1917 in the
Evergreen Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts6.
The SS Olivette in Tampa, FL

Florida. Before the start of the SpanishAmerican War, the SS Olivette made
regular trips between Havana and Key West
and Tampa. The Officers on board the SS
Olivette carried secret messages between
the American Consul General in Cuba and
Captain Sigsbee, the commander of the USS
Maine battleship. The sinking of the USS
Maine led to the Spanish-American War.

Martin, has him living in Spaniard’s Bay again. He would move again to Tilton
around 1894.
Throughout his life, John was a fisherman. He is listed on the
McAlphine Directories of 1894 and 1898 as a fisherman and as a laborer on
the 1904 McAlphine Directory.

SIMEON CHIPMAN (JOHN1)
Simeon Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on July 11, 1865
and was baptized on November 12, 1865 by W. F. Meek. He married MARY
JANE BROWN (b: 1868) on November 17, 1887. Theo Nurse and James
Brown performed the ceremony and Nathaniel Chipman witnessed the

Newfoundland throughout their life.
According to the McAlphine’s
Directories of 1894, 1898, and 1904, he is listed as a fisherman and living in
Tilton. He is on the 1924 Voter’s List and living in Tilton. The Newfoundland

The tombstone inscription collected by Leonard Morgan has Simeon being 83 years old at the time
of his death. This would make his birth year 1874. However, the tombstone for Mary states she was
78 years old, which matches her birth year. I believe I have the correct Simeon and there is an error
in the transcription of the cemetery records.

The births of their children were from NF Gen Web with the exception of Mary Anne and Edith

himself. I cannot verify this information.

SELINA D., b: Jul 30, 1923.
He is on the 1921 Newfoundland Census55 with his family and on the
1924 Voter’s List. The birth record of Selina had him working as a laborer,
indicating he may have changed professions.
On the 1935/1936
Newfoundland Directory, he is listed as a Section Foreman of the
Newfoundland Railroad. Elizabeth died on November 21, 1948 and is buried
in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery in Spaniard’s Bay. George Duncan
died on June 9, 1974 and is buried next to his wife.
53
George’s birth and baptism were from NF Gen Web.
The children’s births were from Barbara McGrath. Ella, Jessie, and Selina were from a George D.
and Elizabeth Chipman and Susannah and Ida were from a Duncan and Elizabeth Chipman. There is a
George Chipman on the 1921 Newfoundland Census with a Susie and Jessie Chipman, which leads me to
believe that the George D. and Duncan are the same person and George went by Duncan Chipman.
55
The 1921 Newfoundland Census has him living with a woman named Catherine Chipman of Catalina,
Newfoundland and she is listed as mother. There is a George Ernest43(2), who was born in 1894 and
54
the son of Simeon and Mary Jane Chipman. George Duncan’s mother passed away and his stepmother
is listed on the 1921 Newfoundland Census as being a widow and the head of her household. A possible
explanation of Catherine Chipman is that she is the mother of George Duncan’s wife, Elizabeth and
there was a mistake in her last name on the Census.

38. AUGUSTUS ALLAN CHIPMAN (JOHN1, NATHANAEL8)
Augustus Allan Chipman was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on

Nathaniel’s birth and baptism were from Barbara McGrath. I believe his middle name was John, as
the 1921 Newfoundland Census has a John in Julia’s household and the birth year matches, although
the months differ between June and July. His brother, Augustus, is listed in the household and is the
only Augustus in the area, so I assume that Nathaniel and John is the same person.

two Williams listed. The first is a fisherman and the second is a laborer.
Since there is no age given for either of the Williams, it is assumed that he
is the fisherman as he would be 37 at the time of its publication.

in Tilton72. The 1921 Newfoundland Census has him living with his parents in

found at this time.
55. MILDRED CHIPMAN (JOHN1, JAMES3, JOHN24)
Mildred Chipman was born about 1913 presumably in Boston, Middlesex
County, Massachusetts. She is listed on the 1930 United States Census as
living with her parents in Belmont, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Her
father, John, changed his surname to 'Chapman' around September 14, 1918,
so it is assumed that her surname was changed also. Further research

Boston, Massachusetts on March 19, 198773.
56. HELEN CHIPMAN (JOHN1, JAMES3, JOHN24)

Massachusetts. He is listed on the 1930 United States Census as living with
his parents in Belmont, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His father, John,
72
Chesley's information was obtained from NF Gen Web and Newfoundland Grand Banks. These are
the only Simeon and Joanna Chipman I can find, so I believe Chesley is the same person from the
Baptism record and 1921 Newfoundland Census. I am unsure if Chipman Road is a town or geographic
location.
73
The information regarding her birth was obtained from the 1930 United States Census records. A
search in www.ancestry.com uncovers the Mildred E. Chipman, but it is unlikely that they are the same
person. First, her father changed their surname to 'Chapman' and it is assumed that her surname
would change also. Second, the age of Mildred E. Chipman's death would be 73 and most likely
married. It is unlikely that she would still be using her maiden name.
74

AFTERWARD
It has been a rewarding experience and great pleasure to write Our
Family from Newfoundland: A Genealogical Study of the Chipman Family of
Spaniard's Bay. I hope that the current generation and future generations
will continue adding to this book and making the corrections where needed,
so one-day it can be compiled in greater detail. The Chipman Genealogy is as
rich and colorful as any other family in America and it has a past we can be
proud to be a part of and share with others.
Our Family Tree, like many Americans, began with its roots in Europe
and the limbs spreading across the Atlantic Ocean to Newfoundland and the
United States. Once these branches took hold in the New World they
planted seeds that would spread the Chipman name across Canada to British
Columbia and the United States from Massachusetts to California. Here, a
new lineage of Chipmans begins to build their own place in this world.
In Canada, Captain Dick Gosse established salmon fisheries in British
Columbia from Vancouver to north of Prince Rupert. He and his cousins were
instrumental in bringing other families to the Pacific Ocean of Canada such
as the Hutchings, Menchions, and of course the Chipmans1. The port of
Boston would be the entry point for the Chipmans who came to the United
States. In both countries, Canada and the United States, the Chipmans
would play a minor role in shaping these two nations.
The Chipmans in Canada played an integral part in the fishing
industries in Newfoundland and British Columbia. Almost everyone was a
fisherman during his life before moving onto another career. They helped
established colonies in several areas and were one of the founding families in
the Spaniard's Bay area.
In the United States, their self-sacrifice would help forge a great
nation. They worked in areas that furthered the growth of a nation during
the Industrial Revolution. During the Great Depression, they contributed to
America getting back on her feet and their loyalty never wavered for their
adopted home. Some answered the call for service and became Soldiers or
Sailors, with one giving his life for his adopted country.
The Chipmans came from abroad and like many Americans and
Canadians, they shaped their countries into what they are today, while the
politics of the world dictated and influenced their lives as they made their
niche in this world.

CHIPMAN NOTES
I added this section to help clear up any other discrepancies through out the
book and to add connections that may occur.
At one time, my Notes had a child belonging to Mary Ann Chipman7(1) and
John Taylor. A search of the records could not produce a child named John.
In the McAlphine’s Directory of 1894, there is a William Chipman listed in
Spaniard’s Bay as being a fisherman. This person could be William Henry24(1)
or William26(1).
In the John Sharpe’s Directory of 1885-1886, there is a William Chipman
listed as being a coaster and living on Water Street. This person could be
William Henry24(1) or William26(1).
There is an Emily Chipman buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery in
Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland. Her birth year is 1896. This could be the
Emily Chipman who was married to William Nathaniel Chipman35(1). According
to 1921 Newfoundland Census, Emily or Frances was born in August of 1897.
John Vokey, who married Catherine Chipman36(1), may have been the son of
Philip and Patience Vokey, who had a child named John born on September
26, 1883. This date was taken from the baptism records on NF Gen Web.
Although the birth date from the 1921 Newfoundland Census does not
match, I find it interesting that John named his first child Philip.
In the Spaniard’s Bay area, there is a Robert Chipman listed on the 1924
Voter’s List and the 1935/1936 Newfoundland Directory. Also, there is a
Robert Chipman buried in the Holy Redeemer Anglican Cemetery, but the
year of birth is 1895. It is possible that this is Robert56(1). I am hesitant
to list this as him, as the Robert in the 1930 Newfoundland Census is an
exact match.
There is a death of an Ethel Chipman in February 1970, perhaps married to
Robert56(1) in Toledo, Lucas, Ohio. One explanation is that they could have
been divorced. The birth date for this Ethel is Aug 2, 1891.
131
According to the Social Security Death Index, there was an Elizabeth
Chipman, who died in September of 1977. The date of birth is May 19, 1891.
One explanation is that they could have been divorced and she moved to
Orlando or that she moved to Florida after the death of Abraham
Hennesey58(1). I am hesitant to list this as her as the Social Security
number was issued in Florida sometime before 1951.
There is a John Chipman listed in the 1898 McAlphine’s Directory in Tilton
as a fisherman. This could be John William71(1), but the 1904 McAlphine’s
Directory has a John listed as the son of John.
Albert Chipman in the Newfoundland Directory of 1935/1936
There are two children born to a William and Elizabeth Chipman.
i.
Albert was born in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland on April 22,
1900 and was baptized by the Reverend T. P. Quinton on April
23, 1900.
ii.
Louisa was born in Tilton, Newfoundland on February 10, 1902
and was baptized by the Reverend T. P. Quinton on February 26,
1902.
They could be the children of William24(1) or William24(2). I believe they
tend to be the children of William24(1), but I cannot be certain.
There was a JOHN LLOYD CHIPMAN born to a George and Elizabeth
Chipman on September 22, 1921. The Reverend E. C. Clinch baptized him on
October 9, 1921. He could be the child of George Duncan35(2).

APPENDIX C
(Poems by Elizabeth Ferguson)
With Love from You to Me
(To John Stafford Ferguson)
Every day is lonely but when Christmas time appears,
I go thru all the memories that fill my heart with tears.
I remember other years when you were still with me
And all the loving thoughtful gifts beneath our Christmas tree.
And so I bought a Christmas gift just as you used to do.
And on the tag I wrote a note – “With love from me to you”.
I put it ‘neath our Christmas tree to wait with the rest
And knew no matter what they were my gift would be the best.
All my heart was in that note – “With love from me to you”.
And love was in that little gift – all the love we knew.
And so on Christmas morning beneath the Christmas tree
I’ll find the gift that I put there – “With love from you to me”.
Poets sat that love is blind and many will agree
But there’s a special kind of love that does not need to see.
The loving thoughts you hold for me, the tender things you say
Lift my spirits when I’m blue, stay with me through the day.
And if by chance we two should meet, I’ve known it from the start,
I wouldn’t see you with my eyes – I’d see you with my heart.
Title Unknown
I sit alone in quiet solitude
With lonely thoughts where none intrude
I watch the daylight fade to twilight gloom
To make a cavern of my room
Four empty walls just filled with space
Crying for a once-loved face;
Aching for a familiar word,
In silence so thick it can almost be heard.
My ears keep straining…straining for
The sound of footsteps, slam of a door,
The call of a child coming in from play,
A man’s deep voice at the end of the day:
The smell of good food in the making –
a lamb chop frying, a potato baking;
The clatter of silver, the clink of dishes…
All in my memory – my hopeless wishes.
They all fade away, fade into the night
As I reach out my hand to turn on the light.
Gone are the voices, the sounds and scent.
They weren’t mine to keep – only lent
For a moment of living, a flash in the life
of one who was once a mother and wife.

address may not be valid.
As I continue to gather information and make updates or corrections, they
will be posted at "The Chipman Genealogy Page - Newfoundland". In the
future, I plan on placing all the photographs I have collected from family
members and updates on other resources for researching the Chipmans in
Newfoundland at the URL below.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR INDEX
Howard Warren was born on George Air Force Base in Victorville,
California on March 6, 1970. The son of a retired Air Force Master
Sergeant, he enlisted in the United States Navy after his graduation from
Victor Valley High School. On May 2, 1989, he attended Naval Recruit
Training in Orlando, Florida with follow on 'A' School training at Naval
Aviation Technical Training Center in Millington, Tennessee.
After
completing 'A' school, he attended Naval Aircrewman Training in Pensacola,
Florida and P-3 Orion In-Flight Technician School at NAS Moffett Field,
California. After logging over 1,700 flight hours in the P-3 Orion, Howard
transferred to the Tactical Support Center (TSC) in NAS North Island, San
Diego, California in 1994.
After two successful years at the TSC, he was selected for the
Navy's Enlisted Commissioning Program. As part of the training to become
an Officer in the United States Navy, he attended the Naval Science
Institute (NSI) at Newport, Rhode Island and later attended the University
of Idaho in Moscow, where he was enrolled in the Naval Reserve Officer
Training Corps (NROTC).
At the University of Idaho, Howard distinguished himself amongst his
peers. In the five semesters he attended, he was a member of the Dean's
Lists for four times and earned the Professor of Naval Science Academic
Honor Roll and the Professor of Naval Science Physical Fitness Award five
times. In 1998, he was named one of the "Top 40 Seniors" at the University.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History and a minor in Naval
Science. During his college tenure, he was a member of the “Golden Key
Honor Society", "Gamma Sigma Alpha" Greek Honor Society, "Phi Alpha
Theta" History Honor Society and a member of the Delta Chi International
Fraternity.
Upon graduation, he was commissioned as an Ensign in the United
States Navy and attended Naval Flight Officer training in Pensacola, Florida
where he earned his 'wings of gold' in April of 2000 and was selected to fly
the S-3B Viking. He was then assigned to SEA CONTROL SQUADRON
FOUR ONE (VS-41) as a Fleet Replacement Naval Flight Officer Student.
Upon completion of his training, he was assigned to the 'Blue Wolves' of SEA
CONTROL SQUADRON THREE FIVE (VS-35), where he served as Public
Affairs Officer, 1st Lieutenant Division Officer, Avionics Division Officer,
and Tactics Department Head until their disestablishment. During his time
163
in VS-35, he made two Western Pacific Deployments. His first was a
historical 10-month deployment on the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72)
in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Southern Watch, and
Operation Iraqi Freedom. During this deployment, he received an Air Medal
from the United States for 50 missions in support of Operation Southern
Watch and Operation Iraqi freedom and a Navy Commendation Medal for 24
Armed Surface Reconnaissance missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
His
second
Western
Pacific
deployment was on board the USS
JOHN C. STENNIS (CVN-74).
After completion of his sea
rotation in VS-35, he was again
assigned
to
SEA
CONTROL
SQUADRON FOUR ONE (VS-41),
but this time as a Naval Flight
Officer Instructor. He served as
the Public Affairs Officer and the
Educational Service Officer and
amassed over 1,000 flight hours in
the S-3B Viking.
As the US Navy upgraded
her fleet, the S-3B was phased out
and Howard was reassigned to fly
the E-2C Hawkeye, where he
currently is trying to become the
first Naval Aviator to have 1,000
flight hours in the P-3C Orion, S-3B
Viking, and the E-2C Hawkeye.
LT Howard “Howie” Warren
currently resides in Virginia Beach, Virginia with his wife, Janet and son,
