Notes

Patience's surname was thought to be Mason according to "The Chafee Genealogy", Chaffee, William H., 1909. - Probably based on Swansea records which seem to indicate a marriage between Stephen Chafee and Patience "Mason". However Barrington, Rhode Island recorded a marriage on the same date at Swansea between Stephen "Chaffey" and Barrington resident Patience "Martin". The theory being that the Barrington records were more accurate because of Patience being a resident of that place and which also included her father and mother's names. Additionally, Patience Mason nor her parents have been "found" in Swansea or Barrington with the correct time frame. The accepted birth date of Patience "Mason" puts her in her 73rd year of age at time of death but the headstone states she was in her 74th year of age which is correct for Patience Martin. Until proven otherwise the available evidence seems to lean toward Patience Martin being the correct name.
