About John Chafee

John Chaffee and Jason Chamberlain were gold miners in California who lived together for over 50 years. Referred to as the "wedded bachelors", they are a well-documented example in early American history of a male same-sex couple living in a relationship similar to marriage. There is some evidence they were the inspiration for Bret Harte's gold rush era story Tennessee's Partner and they are part of the local lore of Tuolumne county where they lived.
