So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - The CHEDSEY’s are supposed to be of English origin, where the name is commonly so spelled, although some American descendants use the spelling Chiclsey. [1]
John CHEDSEY
I. John CHEDSEY signed the Colony Constitution in New Haven in 1644, being then about twenty three years of age. In 1647 be took the oath of fidelity, and in 1655 "an honorable" seat in the meeting house was assigned to him [2], and one to his "Goodwife" on the women's side. He was deacon of the First Church there, his trade or occupation being that of tanner and shoemaker.
In 1681 he removed to Stoney River, settling on the north side of the Green, on a "three square" lot of about three acres. Afterwards the village, East Haven, granted him ten acres on the west side of the "first meadows," which has ever since been known as "Chedsey's Hill" or "Chedsey's Field." He was only a resident in East Haven seven years, and then died, on 31 December 1688, "aged 67," according to the records. His wife's name was Elizabeth, though the surname seems elusive. She died the same year he did. [3] He was succeeded in East Haven by his sons Caleb and Ebenezer, the North Guilford branch of the family descending from his son Joseph.
