In 1976 she married Warren Leland Chaffin of Manhasset, L.I. They soon moved

Plymouth. Marian is a memebre of the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, the Pilgrim
Society, the Pilgrim Garden Club and the Manomet Bird Observatory. The
family's long time association with the sea and shipping has led to her
interest in having published some of her uncles' (Thomas B Sears & Amasa C
Sears) accounts of their experiences as seamen and their wider travels around
the world. She, too, has done a considerable amount of traveling, mostly in
Europe, but also in other parts, such as the Seychelles Islands.
