      The above order of the children (which is the basis of the line numbering in this genealogy) is that given in the Orange Chapin Genealogy of 1862.

      "The beginning of the Chapin family is altogether creditable. We may well be satisfied that it should start with this genuine old Puritan (Deacon Samuel Chapin) and what he did, with his fellow pioneers, to open the American Continent and on it to found a city and to establish a model Christian Republic".

      "The rolls of heraldry, even if they could show the name linked with royal or princely blood, would add nothing to the true nobility of its origin. It belongs peculiarly to this country, and the sphere of its highest dignity and honor was no doubt ordained to be here. Our chief anxiety should be to maintain and advance its true nobility by lives and deeds worthy of such a father".

      Pres. Aaron L. Chapin.
