1. | Katherine Chapin was christened about 1626 in Berry Pomeroy, Devonshire, South West England; died on 4 Feb 1711/12 in Springfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts. Notes: Widow Katharine Bliss, about eight months after her husband's death, m(2) 31 Jul 1655 Thomas Gilbert; by him she had four more children. When Gilbert died 5 Jun 1662 she soon m(3) Samuel Marshfield 28 Dec 1664; by him she had four children making twelve in all. For most widows and widowers not much time was lost in mourning or widowhood*. For men with small children it was of utmost importance to bring a new mother into the family. But times were hard for a widow with little children too and men at this time outnumbered the women in the colonies so there was no lack of suitors for single women. *An exception to this was Nathaniel's own mother, Margaret Hulings, who didn't re-marry after her husband, Thomas Bliss Sr's death in 1650. She removed to Springfield in 1651 and quite admirably raised her young children of 8, 10 (twins), 12, 15, and 17. By this time the oldest three, Nathaniel, Mary, and Lawrence hand struck out on their own. Katherine married Nathaniel Bliss on 20 Nov 1646 in Springfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Nathaniel (son of Thomas Blisse and Margaret Hulings) was born est 1622 in Gloucestershire, England; was buried on 18 Nov 1654 in Springfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
