Individual Details
Israel Chittenden
(1625 - 20 May 1676)
He married Martha Vinal, eldest child of Stephen & Widow Anna Vinal, she is called that as Stephen died at age 29, shortly after arrival in Scituate.
Together they had 6 children:
twin girls, Sarah and Rebecka, the later a namesake for her paternal grandmother. Trees on Ancestry have not acknowledge that they are twins and are combining the names into Sarah Rebecca Chittenden. I can confirm that they are indeed twin sisters from handwritten birth records.
The others are Mary, Isreal, Stephen and Elizabeth.
Isaac was one of the men of Kent. His house lot assigned in 1633, was on Kent street. He bore arms 1643. He came with his father Thomas Chittenden, who was one of the Conihassett partners in 1646. Thomas deceased in 1669, leaving legacies to his sons Isaac and Henry, and to Benjamin, son of Isaac.
It is noted in the "History of Scituate" that he was a highly respectable citizen, a deputy to the court, and a member of the council of war was slain at Scituate on the memorable 20th of May 1676.
On this date it is quoted by Gov. Winslow that "32 families and wherein about 132 persons" were lost.
