I am seeking the parents of one Roswell Chapin. He married Sarah Marsh May
10, 1820, Butler Co, OH. The 1840 census, Butler Co, OH indicates he was
between 50 and 60 years old. The 1850 census shows him as 66 years old, born
VT. This would make him born abt. 1783 or 84. Wife Sarah was born abt 1798,
making her much younger, if his birth year is correct.
It has been suggested that he is the son of Daniel (Samuel, Joseph, Seth,
Josiah, Samuel) Chapin and Lucy Martin. But their Roswell was born Dec 20,
1790, Wardsbobo, VT. Or, at least registered as such. However, his sons
were named, in this order, Daniel, Samuel, Joseph and William.
I hope I haven't written too much for the roll call. My grandmother was Mary
Ann Chapin, below.
