Ancestor of all Chaunceys in America

While fascinating, this article contains this misstatement of fact: "He is said to be the ancestor of all of the people named Chauncy or Chauncey in the United States." This is easily disproved by looking at the current Chauncey family Y-DNA project at FamilyTreeDNA, a large genetics testing concern. [1]. I would suggest that the line be removed as it is erroneous.

Indeed. President Charles Chauncey/Chauncy is my direct ancestor. I believe the younger Rev Charles Chauncy/Chauncey mentioned here may be his grandson is indeed his nephew, son of Pres Chauncey's oldest (half) brother, Rev, Isaac Chauncey of London.

There are at least TWO Chauncey lines, the first being through the elder Charles Chauncey whose children all bore biblical ("Old Testament") names; the second line through immigration of the son of Rev. Isaac Chauncey who was the half brother of our President Charles Chauncey (who was the last in the family, born of the second wife).

Connection to Bulkeley family of Connecticut is correct - through marriage of daughter Sarah to Rev. Dr. Gershom Bulkeley, son of Rev Peter Bulkeley and (Lady) Grace Chetwode, and the first of the Bulkeleys to be born in the New World (she gave birth shortly after arriving in Rocksberry in 1635-6), raised in Concord, MA (founded by his father), educated at Harvard, and then called to the ministry, medical, legal and government service in Connecticut.

Thanks for your thoughts on your gifted family. I had removed the erroneous statement some time ago. Later members of the Chauncey family had a long relationship with Yale College, and members of the Bulkeley family continue to reside in Connecticut today as well.

1671 or 1672 death date

I think 1672 is correct - years used to only change over in March and so the date could have been expressed as February 1671/2 which we would now refer to as 1672. At the moment the article has 1672 in the body of the text and 1671 in the table. We should at least be consistent. 1911 Encyclopaedia Brittanica has 1672 as does Appletons' Cyclopedia of American Biography and various other sources. --Matilda ^talk 04:50, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

most bios and articles on Rev Charles Chauncey show 1592 as year of birth, BUT, his headstone shows "Born 1589" who do we believe 99.88.242.12 (talk) 20:06, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
