Death Place: Springfield, Massachusetts
Father Name: Samuel ChapenHenry was a sea captain, also served 7 years in the Royal Navy. He died in Springfield, but had his body shipped back to Paignton, Devonshire for burial-- odd at first glance because his parents were bur in the New World. However the note I have on his gf is "Paignton, Devonshire, buried at sea"-- so perhaps the Royal Naval connection took precedence for him.Henry was born in Berry, Pomery, Devonshire, England. It is believed Henry is a twin.
