Joel FRISBIE [Parents] was born on 22 Feb 1798 in North Guilford, CT. He died on 2 Mar 1832 in North Guilford, CT. Joel married Freelove CHITTENDEN on 31 Oct 1819.

There is an Edward Frisbie, called "The Immigrant," who with his wife Hannah was one of the first settlers who entered his name for land in Branford in 1645. "He must have been an extensive land owner and acquired much additional property, as the conditions of his will, dated 1689, dispose of many valuable tracts in different parts of the town. His large family of 11 children displayed marked traits of this character and ability. Their descendants in succeeding generations include many distinguished members. His son John was a member of the State Legislature." This reference is from "History of The Colony of New Haven" by Edward Atwater, pub. 1902, republished 1989 by Heritage Press. It lists his children. It is a good possibility that Joel is descended from this line, but I have not as yet proven it.

"He was a farmer, resided in North Guilford" Talcott. See Austin Fowler for a copy of a deed he signed to Austin Fowler in 1835. It is witnessed by his cousins, Abel Rossiter #77, and Abel's dtr. Susan Rossiter.

Jerusha FYLER [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 24 Aug 1793 in Guilford, New Haven, CT. She died on 25 May 1866 in North Guilford, CT. Jerusha married Simeon CHITTENDEN on 17 Dec 1815.

I have her photo, 8591.jpg. Her dod is given as 24 May 1866 by Talcott.

They had the following children:

  M i Henry W. CHITTENDEN
  F ii Parnell Fyler CHITTENDEN
  M iii William Vail CHITTENDEN
  F iv Jerusha CHITTENDEN was born on 12 Jun 1826. She died on 18 Jun 1826.
  M v John Dudley CHITTENDEN
  M vi Martin Luther CHITTENDEN was born on 29 Jan 1833 in North Guilford, CT. He died after 1890 in North Guilford, CT.

I have a letter (doc #23) which I believe was written to this young man by his uncle J.F. Fyler #8598 trying to give him advice. He may have not turned out well as it has been saved by the family. It says, " Oh My Dear Boy. I want you to be thoughtful - and steady - do read your Bible - read the 63rd Psalm - and try to pray in your heart that God may make you serious - to show you that you are a sinner - don't be ashamed of it. Jesus says he that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out. Don't be afraid Wm. - now is the time - the best time - while you are young - you dont know how much I love you - and how I long to see you a good and happy Christian - you need not be afraid to ask me anything. Oh my dear boy - begin now - don't put it off - Your dear uncle, J. F. Fyler." Underneath his signature, someone had penciled in "M.L. Chittenden" so I believe it must be these two.

In Talcott's first book, on Chittendens, he says that he "lives on the spot selected by his great-grandfather, on his removing from the village of Guilford to North Guilford. He is unmarried." The book was written 1882, so he lived until after that. Also, after 1890 book of Talcott's that has him still living.

Simeon Dudley CHITTENDEN [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 20 Jul 1851. He died on 22 Nov 1919 in Atlanta, , Georgia. Simeon married Jane "Jennie" CRITTENDEN on 17 Oct 1877.

Lived in Florida for years in semi-retirement as real estate agent. Several letters from him to nephew Theron Fowler are in my possession. Believed to have had two children. I have a poem to him from his brother-in-law, Charles Austin Fowler. I have a letter from him to his sister, Mrs. Charles A. Fowler. Home address is in Newark, NJ., Oct. 16, 1881. This is his 1877 marriage notice in the paper:

"Christ Church was well filled on Wednesday afternoon to witness the marriage of Mr. Simeon D. Chittenden, of Hoboken, NJ, to Miss Jennie B. Crittenden, of this village. A beautiful display of flowers had been made by Miss H. Hunt and the Misses Hopkins. Mr. Edward Wells and Mr. Elverton Fisk acted as ushers, while Mr. Hinckly presided at the organ. About half past three the bridal party arrived, and were escorted by the ushers to the desk, where the Rev. Dr. Bennett awaited them...Their wedding trip includes Boston, Albany, Niagara Falls, after which Mr. and Mrs. Chittenden will take up their residence in New York City."

Jane "Jennie" CRITTENDEN [Parents] [scrapbook] was born about 1851. She married Simeon Dudley CHITTENDEN on 17 Oct 1877.

I had her name only as Jane "Jennie" Crittenden. The Crittenden name is an off-shoot of the Cruttenden name. I looked in Alvan Talcott's 1890 book, "Families of Early Guilford, Connecticut and there are no Crittenden lines, only Cruttenden lines. He has a Jennette Ardine Cruttenden, b. 19 Dec 1851, and he shows no husband for her (and not most of her siblings from second wife either). She was the dtr. of George Cruttenden and his second wife Beulah M. Kimberly. This may possibly be a match, but need the husband of that Cruttenden. Under Simeon, he shows her as a Crittenden. See photo of her mother, name unknown.

They had the following children:

  M i Dudley Frisbie CHITTENDEN [scrapbook] was born in Jul 1881 in Newark, , New Jersey.

It is believed the picture attached is of him. The others in the picture, Gertrude (younger?) and Augusta (older?) appear to be his siblings.

I received this 10/99:

Hi John!

I just want to say how impressed I am with your site! I really LOVED looking at all the pictures!! It's incredible. I'm a Chittenden but not by blood. My father, James Carson Chittenden was adopted by his mother's new husband Dudley Frisbee Chittenden! It was so fun to find Dudley on your site and trace him back to his parents and on and on and on......amazing. I only wish we were related by blood! : )

My father's birth father was John Robert Clerique and he was married to Georgiana Fox. John left Georgiana after my father was born and Georgiana married Dudley Chittenden. They then had a son Don Chittenden - my father's half brother. It's so hard to keep this all straight! Anyway, thanks again for having this wonderful site.

Best, Sharon Ilstrup (formerly Chittenden)

and again same month received:

Hi again John!

Here's all the information my mother and father can provide, I'm afraid. I wasn't aware of his sons - Bill and Tug, were you? Dudley Frisbie Chittenden died in either 1933 or 34. He had two sons by a previous marriage. Bill and Tug. Married Georgiana Fox Clerique--maybe 1930, adopted John Robert Clerique and James Carson Clerique (we'll look for the adoption certificate, we have it.) changed their names to Chittenden. He and Georgiana had one son, Donald, born 1933 or 34.

Simeon CHITTENDEN [Parents] was born on 13 Apr 1742 in North Guilford, CT. He died on 22 Sep 1812 in North Guilford, CT. Simeon married Sarah DUDLEY on 15 Dec 1773.

Was killed by a vicious bull at age 70. Note by Theron Chittenden Fowler says that "The house that we looked at (he and dtr. Eunice, my mother) where my mother (Emily Louise Chittenden...Simeon's granddaughter) was born was built for him in 1773.

Simeon responded to the Lexington Alarm in the Revolution. He was noted for his kindness and generosity to the poor.

Sarah DUDLEY [Parents] was born on 3 Dec 1746 in Guilford, CT. She died on 12 Mar 1841 in North Guilford, CT. Sarah married Simeon CHITTENDEN on 15 Dec 1773.

I need to research whether Sarah is descended from William Dudley, who married in 1636 at Oakeley in Surrey, England, Jane Lutman (d. 1 May 1674). They had 5 or more children and William died in Guilford 5 Mar 1684. The "History of the Colony of New Haven" by Edward Atwater lists him and quotes the book, "The Dudley Family Genealogies of 1848", pub. 1862, and 1886-94, by Dean Dudley.

They had the following children:

  M i Josiah CHITTENDEN was born on 14 Oct 1774. He died on 23 Sep 1781.
  F ii Sally CHITTENDEN was born on 9 Jan 1776. She died on 24 Oct 1843.

Unmarried
  M iii David CHITTENDEN
  M iv Abel CHITTENDEN
  M v Simeon CHITTENDEN was born in 1781. He died on 4 Mar 1782.
  F vi Lucy CHITTENDEN
  F vii Ruth CHITTENDEN was born on 19 Jan 1785. She died on 15 Jan 1786.

Henry W. CHITTENDEN [Parents] was born on 14 Oct 1817. He died on 31 Jan 1865 in CA. Henry married Lucretia WILCOX on 14 Oct 1839.

Moved to California in 1850. In Talcott's 1882 book he gives dod as 28 Jan 1865. In his 1890 Guilford book, he gives dod as 31 Jan 1865.

Lucretia WILCOX was born about 1817. She died on 31 Jul 1866 in CA. Lucretia married Henry W. CHITTENDEN on 14 Oct 1839.

In Talcott's 1882 book he gives dod as Jun 1866. In his 1890 Guilford book, he gives dod as 31 Jul 1866.

They had the following children:

  M i Charles Redfield CHITTENDEN was born in Jun 1842. He died in Apr 1843.
  M ii Charles Redfield CHITTENDEN
  M iii Henry CHITTENDEN was born on 8 Oct 1845. He died on 8 Apr 1846.
  F iv Maria Louisa CHITTENDEN was born on 24 Jul 1854. She died in 1857.

Charles Redfield CHITTENDEN [Parents] was born on 29 Jan 1844. He married Mary Charlotte MCKEE.

The names and dates of children are from Talcott's 1890 Guilford book, which gives his place of residence as "Oakland, CA" that is next to San Francisco. He had different names and dates in his 1882 Chittenden book, which gives San Francisco, but I am going with the accuracy of the later book. In the 1882 book, he had:
Mary (no dob)
Paul, b. Sep 1878
daughter, b. Sep 24, 1879

Mary Charlotte MCKEE was born about 1845. She married Charles Redfield CHITTENDEN.

Talcott in 1882 book says, "dau. of ____Fore, of San Francisco." I don't know why she would have a different surname than her father, unless she was a widow.

They had the following children:

  F i Georgiana CHITTENDEN was born in Jun 1869 in San Francisco, CA.
  F ii Estella CHITTENDEN was born in 1870 in San Francisco, CA.
  M iii Paul CHITTENDEN was born in 1872 in San Francisco, , California.
