- [S1333] Marriages and Deaths, page 96 - Chickering, Jonas, Esq. Boston, 8 Dec., in the 57th year of hes age. He was seized with an apoplectic fit at the house of a friend, about 11 o'clock in the evening, and being immediately carried to his own residence in Boylston Street, died very soon after his arrival there. In the death of Mr Chickering, the City has met with as great a loss as has happened to it in the death of an individual for many years. His kind and unassuming manners are known to everyone who made his acquaintance. His funeral was probably the largest which has ever been in Boston.
Mr. Chickering descended from an ancient and highly respectable family long resident in the County of Norfolk, England. In the time of Henry VIII, Thomas Chickering of Wymondham, in that county, deceased leaving a widow Claare, and three children, the eldest of whom Stephen, became of Wicklewood, a village adjoining that of Wymondham, where he died in 1576. By his wife Anne, he had five sons and two daughters.
Henry the eldest removed to Ringefield in the Co. of Suffolk and died in 1627, leaving five sons and two daughters.
Henry the eldest son, was of Wreatham, and together with his brother Francis, and a nephew Nathaniel, emigrated to this country about the year 1635, and settled at Dedham, where he held important offices, and was representative to the General Court for several years. He died in 1671, and his only son John Chickering of Charlestown, became heir to his large estate. . . - [S1337] George Walter Chamberlain, The English Ancestry of the Chickerings of New England, page 228 - Henry Chickering, yeoman, born probably about 1560, lived in the parish of Bramfield, co. Suffolk, England, from 1588 to 1595 or perhaps for a longer period and is found in the parish of Ringsfield, in the same county, 11 July 1626, when he made his will, which was proved 7 July 1627. [see Register, Vol. 63, p. 282.] He married Mary ___, who was living 11 July 1626. As the extant parish registers of Ringsfield do not begin until 1751, we can derive no information from them relating to his immediate family.
