I'm desperately seeking to find birth/baptism/christening records linking Julius F.
Chapin (b. about 1800-1801 in Massachusetts, died March 1884 in La Salle, La Salle Co.,
Illinois) to his father, Eli Chapin (b. Sept. 21, 1764 in Springfield, MA and died around
1850 in New York City). Eli is the great-great grandson of Deacon Samuel Chapin
(1598-1675), who immigrated to the US around 1635-1638. Eli was married September 23,1790
to Rachel Hubbard (b. 1771) and they moved from Sheffield, MA, to New York City sometime
after 1801. Eli is listed as a coffee manufacturer in the 1820 New York City Directory,
page 116. If anyone has any additional information that could link Julius Chapin to his
father Eli Chapin, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
