Migration of the Chaperling familyIn an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies.

Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled.

His son settled in Attelborough, Massachusetts. Clement Chaplin settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1635.
