Message Board Post:
I married my Chapin husband in July 1966. At the wedding we served a wine produced by
Chapin Freres (Chapin Brothers) of France (quite the coincidence--got it at the provincial
liquor store). I still have one of the empty bottles. I have no info at all on the
winery, its history or whether or not it still produces wine.
Other family legend of my husband's says Hugenot ancestry. In one of the Canadian
censuses in mid-1800's the family is listed as of Welsh origin.
My own research stalls on Joseph Sanderson Chapin, b 1807 in New York State.
