Chadsey of Newark, NJ, 1901: "Richard Chadsey of Somerset County, removed (most probably) to Monmouthshire, then Wales, on account of religious persecutions, where the Church baptisms state that William Chadsey, son of Richard, was baptized May 24, 1692. William Chadsey, b. 1692, the ancestor who came to the American Continent, and from whom all the family name in this country have descended, had a friendly leaning toward the Quaker Orthodox Church. He was a man of refined taste, and remarkably polite character; whose word was as good as his bond, though from a sense of integrity he shrank from publicity. He was educated in Wales and conversant with the language, and was physically a Welshman, although his ancestors on his father's side were English of Norman descent. At the age of twenty-three, in July, 1715, he left his native land, never to be heard from by his kindred, landed in Virginia in September, 1715, made his way northward and arrived at Newport. The following spring, he crossed the Naragansett Bay near Wickford, North Kingstown, where he purchased a tract of land three miles north of Wickford, and four miles south from East Greenwich, on the old post road at Sandhill, a short distance from Roger Williams' trading post with the Indians, and built for himself in 1717 a log cabin, of the usual early settlers' type. May 24, 1719, he married Susannah Greene (daughter of Jabez) b. in Coventry, Warwick Co., R.I., Jan. 30, 1699. They lived together sixty-eight years on the farm where they first settled, and both died in 1787, within three months of each other, he aged 95 years, 7 months, and she 89 years, 10 months. The old homestead is still in possession of the seventh generation, and a score or more of the descendants are sleeping their last sleep on an eminence called "The Hill of Goshen." There is a grave stone for William Chadsey Sr. & Susannah his wife in the Elm Grove Cemetery, N. Kingstown, RI. They were buried on their farm at Sand Hill and the graves were later moved to Elm Grove Cemetery, N. Kingstown, RI, Lot 025.
