Hi, Colleen,
I, too, am descended from Wisconsin CHAPINs. In fact, CHAPIN
was my maiden name, and I was born and raised in southern WI.
My line descends from a brother of your John, Jr.--Joshua, b
1728 in New Marlboro, MA. It runs:
Roger
John
Dea. Samuel
Josias
Seth
John
Joshua
Peter
Austin
Edward
Samuel
Burton
My Edward moved from NY to Whitewater, WI, in the early 1840's, and then
on to Lone Rock, Richland Co., before 1856. Were yours farther north?
My sister lives in River Falls, and has met several CHAPINS in that
area. And my brother sent me a picture he had snapped, in a cemetery, of
a gravestone of a "Chester Chapin." Is he yours?
Julie, endlessly sorting out dead relatives.....
