Chipman

I get a lot of DNA connections linked to Mint Cove and Northern Cove in Spaniard’s Bay. One of the families in that area is Chipman. The Plantation record:

William Chipman 200 yds. from E. to W. bounded on the E. by the woods on the W. by Robt Brown 80 yds. from H.W.M. to the N. bounded on the N. by the woods. 1 Stage 1 Flake 2 Houses 3 Gardens …1798…

I was intrigued to see that there seem to be Chipmans in Jersey. A lot of Jersey roots in this particular area. William Chipman is an early planter. I am curious what the oral history of this family might say……

Some Jersey records:

possibly the first Chipman in Jersey was a Chapman:

There is a connection between The Snow family and the Chepmels in Jersey:

Thomas Snow Sr is likely associated with the Port de Grave area. I could find no marriage record in Jersey. Possibly they were married in NF.

Seary –  Chipman 1706 (CO 194.24)???????

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 Newfoundland

Basic Family History Information and Links

While researching the Noels and Newell families of Newfoundland I see a lot of information on different families. This seems to have increased since I participated in the Family Finder DNA test. In order that people will not have to cover the same ground again I will try to record what I find on this site. As always, people should do their own research and check sources.

This database was built after years of his studying the Irish in Newfoundland. It is broader than that though. It includes many obscure transactions with non-Irish residents as well:
