1. ROBERT1 CHEW was born 1525 in Potterford, Whalley Parish, Lancashire, England, and died 1591.
Notes
The Chew family was well established in England at least 300 years before the first English coolonist set foot in America. The name came from the manor Chew Magna, on the banks of the River Chew in Somersetshire. The manor originally belonged to Godwin, Earl of Wessex, in the 11th century.
