3334. William Pitkin [Jr.]
Book, The American Genealogist, Volume 47. pp 206-7.
The Birthplace of William Pitkin, by Roderick Bissell Jones, Ph.D., LL.B.
William Pitkin, bourn 1636, son of William Pitkin, Headmaster of the famous
Berkhamsted (Herts) Grammar School for Boys, established 1541, and grandson of
another William Pitkin, Gentleman, so-called in the 1619 royal charter of
Berkhamsted and therein named Burgess, came to Hartford Connecticut in 1659 and
two years later was appointed King's Attorney for the Colony. He was Deputy to
the Geneal Court or legisture, Treasurer of the Colony; Assistant, Commissioner
of the United Colonies representing Connecticut, etc. His son William Pitkin
was Chief Justice of Connecticut and his grandson William Pitkin was Royal
Govenor of Connecticut.
Martha, sister of William Pitkin, married Simon Wolcott of Windsor,
Connecticut, and their son, Major General Roger Wolcott, Governor of
Connecticut was followed by many others of similar and greater standing. See
Miss Talcott's account in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register
66:160 ff.
William Pitkin received the degree of M.A. from Oxford on 17 Oct 1631. By
Letters Patent dated 8 Aug 1636 he was appointed Headmaster of the Berkhamsted
Grammar School. During that year his eldest child, the son William who came to
America, was born, but his birth is not recorded in the parish of St. Peter. It
was not an oversight, as the baby's grandfather was Churchwarden there and had
been since 1610, and eight years later in the will included William with his
siblings, Martha, etc. William may have been baptized at his maternal
grandmother's in a nearby parish. The other children were all baptized in St.
Peter's, next to the Berkhamsted Grammar School, beginning with Roger in 1638.
The churchwardens accounts' of St. Peter's for the period 1584 to 1760 were for
many years lost, but the British Museum was finally able to locate and buy
them. Colonel A. L. Wilson, an "Old Boy" and now Governor of the Berkhamsted
School, has "translated" these accounts. He has for some time been preparing a
history of the school. Using data from his researches and from the
Churchwardens' Accounts and from the parish register, he was written The
Pitkins of Berkhamsted, Herts., in which they appear as the most prominent
family there in the 17th century.
Recently there was discovered in the debris of some old, condemned, Tudor
cottages belonging to the School, a painting of about 1750 on a mahogany plank,
showing the main school building, practically identical with the building as it
still stands today. Clearly visable is the Headmaster's House at the end.
Colonel Wilson had given the School a new Headmaster's House, called Wilson
House. He writes me: ". . .you will be interested to know that the building
was exactly like what is portrayed in the painting when your ancestor William
Pitkin lived there and Martha Pitkin (Later Mistress Wolcott) was born there.
The two-gabled portion on the right was the Headmaster's House until 1965".

Landed in Boston and Thomas settled in that part of Boston called the Mount; it
is across the Bay, and a little southeast of the city, and was afterwards named
Braintree, from an atrocity committed by the indians. The land his allotted to
him being situated upon the mountain, he soon came to be called "Thomas of the
Mount" and was near losing the family name altogether. Thomas Bliss and his
family and his nephew Thomas Bliss (son of his brother Jonathan, of England)
who had arrived at Boston the year before, removed from Braintree to the
settlement of Hartford CT sometime in the same year that George removed from
Lynn 1636-7. Uncle and nephew did not reside together long in Hartford for in
the second year after their arrival, Thomas senior sickened and died.

Deacon Samuel Chapin came with his family to reside in Springfield in 1642.
It would rather appear that he resided in this country considerable time,
perhaps eight or ten years before he came to Springfield, and perhaps the
greater part of his childen were born in this country, but no record has been
found of the birth of but one - the youngest, and we don not find any record of
but one of his sons taking the freeman's oath. David, his son was made a
freeman in Springfield, 5th day 2nd month 1649. He is supposed to be the
progenitor of all who bear the name in this country and I have not found one of
the name who could trace their lineage to any other source. In 1652, 10 of
October, Samuel Chapin was appointed one of the magistrates of Springfield, and
in 1654 his commission was extended indefinitely. He was also much employed in
other public business - a useful and hightly esteemed man. In the records of
the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in New England, the name John Chapin is
mentioned in connection with the building of a moveable fort, 4 Mar 1633-4, and
in July 1634 mention is made of a meadow a part of which "John Chapin hath
mown." That is all the informtion I have found respecting him. Whether he is a
brother of Samuel or not is a matter of mere conjecture. Deacon Samuel Chapin
died 11 Nov 1675, age not known. His wife's name was Cisily, maiden name not
known. Mrs. Cisily Chapin died 8 Feb 1683, age not known. Children:
2. Japhet, b 1642; d 20 Feb 1712 ae70
3. Henry, d. 15 Aug 1718
4. Catharine, d 4 Feb 1712
5. David
6. Josiah, d 10 Sep 1726
7. Sarah, d 5 Aug 1684
8. Hannah, b. in Springfield 2 Dec 1644
It is not supposed that the children of Samuel Chapin are placed here exactly
in the order of their births. The Boston City records show that Jane, daught
of Shem Chapin and Deborah his wife, was born 16 Sept 1665. He might have been
a son of Deacon Samuel, and died without leaving any male issue. Japhet and
Henry had families in the north part of Springfield (now Chicopee). David
residered for a few years near the centre of the town of Springfield, and
afterwards removed to Boston. Josiah settled in Mendon, Worcester county. He
was one of the original grantees of said town; it is said he was from Braintree
and built the first saw mill in Mendon. Probably he did not reside for any
great length of time in Springfield. Josiah m Mary. Son Samuel b 11 Nov 1659.
Springfield records, vol III, pg 71. For further particulars, see under the
head of Josiah Chapin's descendants. Sarah m 14 Apr 1647, Rowland Thomas and
had 13 children. Hannah m 27 Sep 1666 to Deacn John Hitchcock, and had 9
childen. Deacon Samuel Chapin lived on the hom lot next south of the Ministry
lot in the centre of the then village of Springfield. His son Japhet owned one
half of said premises, but sold his right therein (by deed bearing date 19 Nov
1667) to Deacon John Hitchcock, who had married said Japhet's sister Hannah.
