  Henry Chapin, son of Deacon Samuel and Cicely Penny, was a deputy to the General Court in 1689, and served for eleven years as selectman. He and his brother, Japhet Chapin (who was m. Abileneh Coole/Coley* dau of Samuel Coole/Coley* of Massachusetts Bay Colony (MBC), later Milford, Connecticut Colony), were the first settlers in Chicopee which was the "old fifth parish" of Springfield. Henry Chapin's house was near the west end of what is now (1942) Exchange street in Chicopee Center. He was living there by 1675. *"Coole" was the spelling of Samuel Coley while he resided in MBC and "Coley" when he founded and resided in Milford Connecticut Colony. [1]
