And what we would do with this is, one of these interns, remote interns, will transcribe it and we'll give the tape and the transcript to the Historical Society. The other thing that we will do with it, and this is a weird effect - I didn't realize when you are interviewing people who are 200 years old, they're not going to be around for that long. What we've done is given it to - I'm going to mispronounce her last name, but how do you say Jane's last name?\nOdence\nWanoyama.\nTye\nSo, for instance, with Jane, we interviewed her. Actually, I interviewed her. Were you not there?\nOdence\nI wasn't there for that one.\nTye\nShe ended up being a brilliant interview partly because she knew a lot about Cotuit history and partly because she knew a lot, and I never envisioned this, about jazz history, and her dad had an incredible collection.\nOdence\nAnd he played the banjo?\nTye\nExactly, and he knew somehow Armstrong from wherever, but the bottom line is, we gave to her kids, when they were doing the memorial service, the tape of - most people don't have their parents on tape. I just gave the tape we did with Sue Hamilton to Dick Hamilton so she – (tape cuts out)\nTye\nJust starting by, I'm going to put this here, by telling us your name and your early history in coming to Cotuit.\nChurbuck\nMy name is David Chatfield Churbuck. It's February of 2023 and I'm 64 years old. I was born in 1958.\nOdence\nMarch 12?\nChurbuck\nMay 13.\nOdence\nI knew it was an \"M.\"\nChurbuck\nAnd I am the first in my family not to be born on Cape Cod.\nTye\nThey were born in Cotuit?\nChurbuck\nWell, they were born on the Cape. My father was born in Cape Cod Hospital and was delivered by Dr. Higgins – Donald Higgins. And his best friend growing up was Reed Higgins, Donald's son.\nOdence\nWhom we interviewed previously.\nChurbuck\nGotcha. My grandparents were year-round residents of the Cape until the mid-50s. 1955 is when they moved up to Melrose and used the Cape as a summer place.\nTye\nAnd when you say, they were year-round residences, they were here? In Cotuit?\nChurbuck\nYep, yep.\nTye\nGreat. What had brought them and when did they come?\nChurbuck\nWell, my grandfather's grandfather was a whaling captain. Thomas Chatfield. And Thomas Chatfield came to Cotuit in 1847, ran away from home on the Hudson River, and ended up on a coastal schooner.\nOdence\nAnd he'd been born in England?\nChurbuck\nHe was born in England and left as a two-year-old after his father got arrested for failing to pay the parish tax to the Church of England. His friends helped him escape on his way to jail, and he took a ship to New York and left his family behind. It was the church that took up the money to send my great-great-grandfather and his eight brothers and one sister afterwards, and they landed, I think, in about 1833 in New York, moved to Cornwall-on-Hudson.\nTye\nCan you say that one more time? He was being arrested. He was going to jail for, what was it?\nChurbuck\nFor failing to pay the parish tax to the Church of England, because he was a dissident Baptist, and he was like, “I don't have anything to do with your church,” so they came to - stole his pig. And he created a riot in the little village that he lived in and -\nTye\nThis is part of the proud history of religious rebels.\nChurbuck\nRight, but I don't think he was that spiritual or that nice of a guy.\nOdence\nHe was just running from the law.\nChurbuck\nHe was just running from the law. I think he was sort of a sad case. He was a tanner, which was a really bad profession, apparently. No one likes having a tanner around.\nOdence\nCertainly not next door.\nChurbuck\nBut he put my great-great-grandfather to work. At the age of nine in the first textile mill in the state of New York and he got three months of education and then was sent off to child labor and then, when he was 15, he ran away.\nTye\nThis is your grandfather?\nChurbuck\nGreat-great-great.\nOdence\nThomas Chatfield?\nChurbuck\nThomas Chatfield. And so, he came to Cotuit at the age of 15.
