    • Nathaniel Chapin, Sr. was in the Cape Breton expedition which surrendered to the American and English forces, june 16, 1745, where he died. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Sarah Chapin, Jan. 10, 1748, who was also guardian of Nathaniel and Eliphalet. As Jabez was not mentioned it is presumed that he had died.

      From the Nova Scotia GenWeg:

      "From its establishment by the French in 1713 until the withdrawal of the last British troops in 1768, Louisbourg played an important role in the Anglo-French struggle for hegemony in North America. For three decades after its founding Louisbourg enjoyed peace and prosperity, though the threat of war always hung over the fortified town. In 1745 an army of New Englanders, supported by a British naval squadron, captured Louisbourg after a 46-day siege. The town was returned to the French by treaty, and then besieged again in 1758. The assault lasted seven weeks, pitting a combined British army and naval force of 27,000 against 7,000 French defenders (soldiers and sailors). In the end the French stronghold and naval base fell again, opening the way for the British conquest of the rest of New France."
