Kathy,
I am a new Chapin researcher. My Chapin's were in Canada, went down the the
States (Wisconsin then Iowa), then my line came back to Saskatchewan. I
have recently acquired some new information, but I am having great
difficulty finding this family. What I have so far is:
Romanti P. CHAPIN b. about 1836 in Chippawa (Niagara Falls?),Canada
married Eugenia HUBBARD on 19 Sep 1873
(in the township of Wesley, Iowa by Eldon James Jeffrey)
Romanti was a member of the 21st Regiment of the Wisconsin Infantry
Volunteers from 1862 to 1865. His brother Hiram CHAPIN was also a member of
this unit.
Children: Marshall Hubbard CHAPIN b. 22 Jun 1871
Edith CHAPIN b. 23 Feb 1873, d. 6 Jun 1939, married Orace T.
DAWSON on 26 Dec 1897 (one son Arlou Leroy DAWSON)
Preston Hiram CHAPIN b. 11 Jan 1875
Walter Leroy CHAPIN b. 3 Oct 1879 married Sarah ROWLEY in
Iowa then later moved to Saskatchewan
So please take down my email address. Do you have any connections or names
in the same area?
Jennifer

Hello to all,
To those who research the branch of the Chapin family in Canada, can you
help me out.
I have lost the email address of the people who have contacted me before,
so I hope they see this posting.
My ancestor was the brother of Elam Chapin b. in 1778 who married Mary
Eddy.
I am wondering if anyone can share information about Mary's family.
Sibblings, parents ect.
I am trying to approach things from another angle.
My ancestor was Gordon Chapin who was born in 1786. He was in Canada at
least by 1811 when a child was born.
I have not been able to find out who his wife was, but according to census
records the mother of his children was born in Canada.
I am wondering if possibly he married a relative of Mary Eddy's since it
was common for sibblings to marry sibblings etc....
I'm still trying to break down that brick wall .... any help is welcome.
