Hello All,
Does anyone have anything on the ancestry of Mary EDDY who married Elam Chapin in Ontario,
Canada on Jan 15, 1807?
I am trying to find her parents and or sibblings, in hopes that my ancestor Gordon Chapin
(Elam's brother) may have married one of Mary's sibblings or other relatives.
Is there a church record of Mary and Elam's marriage. Maybe I could check to see if
there are other Chapin marriages.
The only reference I have to a church in Canada is from the obituary for Charles Chapin
(son of Gordon) in which it states that he baptized by REV. WADSWORTH when but a boy and
united with the FREEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH. Before reaching manhood's years he became a
member of the M.E. church.
I have never been able to find out anything about REV. WADSWORTH or the Freewill Baptist
Church.
I believe everyone and everthing would have been in the Brantford area of what is now
Ontario.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Kathy
