THOMAS CHADWICK FAMILY
(5) SARAH STANCLIFT married NATHANIEL CHADWICK
THOMAS1 CHADWICK(1)
Born about 1655 in England, died Lyme, CT Apr. 3, 1731, married Newbury, Essex County, MA Apr. 6, 1674 SARAH WOLCOTT daughter of John and Mary [Tharly] Wolcott.
The Chadwick family originated at Rochedale, Lancashire, England, which is located about 20 miles from Halifax, Yorkshire, England where the Stancliff and Tillotson(2) families first lived. It is probable that the immigrant Thomas Chadwick came from that area. He was in Newbury, Essex County, MA about 1672 and later at Watertown, Middlesex County, MA before moving to Lyme, CT sometime after 1695.
