My name is Robert Radford, and John Chivers was my my 5th great grandfather. I am related to him through my great grandmother Christiana Mary Payne who was the daughter of Harriet Chivers leading to John. I can tell you the following that John was born April 17th 1710 and died on April 17th 1759 which was his 49th birthday. He was married and sadly left behind 10 children according to newspaper reports I have read.
