Hi Christie, There is a google online book: "History of Beverly, Civil and Ecclesiastical etc...." @ http://books.google.com/books?id=TLErf1GD0pwC&pg=PA271&lpg=PA271&dq=%22John+Chipman%22+%22Hannah+Warren%22&source=web&ots=LOzWdggKhH&sig=G7rwfBPXKPG-to-466i_pbIzaZ4&hl=en that says John Chipman was m. to Rebecca, sister of Colonel Robert Hale, by whom he had 15 children, and 2nd, to Hannah Warren 'who died without issue' in 1769. Check it out at the link above and see if it helps any. Linda christietrapp@aol.com wrote: > I'm in a quandry.
