Message Board Post:
My ancestor Richard B (Banter?) Chapin (born 1825) is very well documented in his later
life but I am trying to definitively prove who his parents were. According to a few
unsourced family trees his father was Jacob Chapin 1789 and his mother was Ann Eliza Day.
Richard supplies 2 different birthplaces on his census records, Vermont and NY, so i'm
not sure which is right. He lived in Vermont when he was married. He died in Michigan in
1888. Does anyone know how I can be certain of his parents? When I search for the Jacob
Chapin of 1789 he seems to be linked to 3 different women! He either had children by
numerous women or there are mistakes happening.. And I can't find anything at all
about Ann Eliza Day! any help would be much appreciated!!
