This source stated: "The inventory of the estate of 'John Champan deceased,' attested on 30 October 1665 by the wife of Francis Browne, totaled £403 11s. 8d., of which £200 was real estate [Fairfield PR 2:9]. The intestate proceedings distributed the estate to the widow, £110 10s. 8d.; to [dau] Mary Chapman, £86; to Eliizabeth Chapman £86; to the widow 'to have half the housing and land at Stanford' and the said Mary and Elizabeth 'to have the other half of the farm divided between them equally' [Fairfield PR 2:9]." In 1672 Mary's husband Eleazer Slason of Stamford acknowledged receipt of Mary's portion. In 1673/4 they sold with Elisabeth Chapman to "their father-in-law Francis Brown," three parcels of land. Other transactions between these parties continued.
