The American Genealogist: It is said that Elder John Chipman of Dorchester Mass came here in l63l aged about 16 under the care of Richard Derby. It seems that there are family papers preserved which show that John was son of a Thomas Chipman of Whitchurch near Dorchester co Dorset Eng. This Thomas sold improvidently as was alleged certain lands to his cousin Christopher Derby brother of William Derby a member of the Massachusetts Company. The child John Chipman was brought up with Christopher's sons John and Richard Derby came here with them and after arriving at man's estate intended to sue for a recovery of his lands He prepared the document from which these facts are taken but probably never commenced a suit We wish Mr Chipman had stated more clearly where this document is preserved He cites also a deposition in another suit of date of 1641 confirming in some respects the main story

The Chipman Family: Thomas Chipman was born probably in White church near Dorchester England about 1567 died about 1623. He owned property in Whitechurch which yielded him an income of 50 per annum. In 1775 Thomas Chipman of Salisbury Conn caused inquiries to be made by Silas Dean or Benj Franklin colonial agents in England in regard to the estate and ascertained that it lay as above described and that the rental was 500. He was prevented from prosecuting his claim by the breaking out of the Revolution and its consequences. Thomas Chipman married _____about 1590 who died about 1637. We find mention of but three children 1 John Hannor (Hannah) Tumsum (Thomasine).
1 John Chipman was born probably at Bryans Piddle near Dorchester England about 1614, died April 7 1708. Always brotherless and early left fatherless he sailed from Barnstable Devon County England in May 1631 in the ship Friendship arriving in Boston July 14 1631. John Chipman was the first and only one of the name to seek a home in America and up to 1850 there was no Chipman in this country who was not descended from him. On March 2 1642 he brought a suit against his cousin John Derby to recover money which he affirmed the said John Derby unjustly witheld from him. How this suit resulted does not appear. John Chipman was for successive years a selectman then in Plymouth Colony invested with the authority of a magistrate and was often a Deputy to Court, and he with three assistants was designated to frequent the early Quaker meetings and endeavor to reduce them from the errors of their wayes. He became on June 30 1653 as his wife had become Aug 7 1650 a member of the church at Barnstable Mass and its records state that Henry Cobb and John Chipman were chosen and ordained to be ruling elders of this same church and were solemnly invested with office upon ye 14th day of April AD 1670. In 1646 John Chipman married Hope second daughter of John and Elizabeth Tillie Howland born in Plymouth Mass 1629 died 1683. There stands or lately stood in the ancient burial ground on Lothrop Hill in Barnstable Mass a headstone denoting where was interred ye body of Mrs Hope Chipman wife of Elder John Chipman.
