Surname: CHAPIN, FOSTER, SHERMAN, MUNSELL, FROST, HITCHCOCK
-------------------------
I am looking for the proof of the connection of Ambrose Wellington CHAPIN
to Deacon Samuel CHAPIN. I recently met someone researching this CHAPIN
line who says he is connected in this way:
Ambrose Wellington CHAPIN, son of Abner and Rebecca (FOSTER) CHAPIN.
Abner CHAPIN, son of Abner and Lucy (FROST) CHAPIN.
Abner CHAPIN, son of Jonathan and Anna (HITCHCOCK) CHAPIN.
Jonathan CHAPIN, son of Jonathan and Elizabeth(BURT) CHAPIN.
Jonathan CHAPIN, son of Japhet and Abilene or Abidenah (COOLEY) CHAPIN.
Japhet CHAPIN, son of David and Lydia (CRUMP) CHAPIN.
David CHAPIN, son of Deacon Samuel and Cicely (PENNY) CHAPIN.
Does anyone know for a fact if this line is correct? And if it isn't, is
Ambrose a decendent of Deacon Samuel in any line?
I do know a few things about Ambrose. He was born in the U.S., as stated
in the 1851 census of Ontario, Canada. He was born about 1799-1801, as
he was 51 years old in the 1851 census. He married a woman named Rebecca
or Percelia. (I've seen it as both.) His son, George Washington CHAPIN
married Ida May SHERMAN, daoghter of Philo SHERMAN and Lydia WOOLWORTH.
My father is a decendent of George.
If anyone knows ANYTHING about this family, please contact me.
Thank you. Bonnie.
